Lease Agreement

CASINO OPERATIONS LEASE

THIS CASINO OPERATIONS LEASE (“Lease”) is made and entered into as of the 3rd day of May, 2007, by and between Hedwigs Las Vegas Top Tier, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its nominee, as landlord (“Landlord”), and 155 East Tropicana, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, as tenant (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts and objectives:

RECITALS

A. This Lease is made with reference to a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of April 30, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Landlord, as Buyer, and Tenant, as Seller, concerning the sale by Seller to Landlord of that certain hotel, casino and related improvements thereon, commonly known as the Hooters Casino Hotel Las Vegas (the “Hotel”), together with all fixtures, equipment and personal property used in connection therewith, excluding the Gaming Assets (as defined below).

B. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) Tenant shall continue to own the Gaming Assets (as defined below).

C. Tenant desires to lease from Landlord and Landlord desires to lease to Tenant (i) a portion of the Hotel in which the Gaming Operations (as hereinafter defined) are presently located, comprising approximately 29,000 square feet of floor space (“Gaming Operations Location”) and offices and rooms within the Hotel, consistent with current operations at the Hotel, used non-exclusively for the Gaming Operations (“Associated Space”) for the non-exclusive (except as to the portions thereof that constitute Public Areas) use by Tenant for the duration of this Lease, and any extensions and/or renewals hereof, and (ii) the non-exclusive right to use the public areas of the Hotel as they exist from time to time (“Public Areas”) including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, private roadways, walkways, stairways, corridors, entryways, and restroom facilities, by Tenant, its employees, agents, representatives, customers, business invitees and licensees for the purposes for which Public Areas are intended. “Gaming Operations” means the ownership and operation of the Gaming Assets. The Gaming Operations Location and the Associated Space are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Leased Property”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the parties hereto agree that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated into this Lease and

the parties further agree that Landlord will lease to Tenant, and Tenant will lease from Landlord, the Leased Property on the following terms and conditions:

ARTICLE I
APPROVALS, GAMING ACTIVITIES AND GAMING EQUIPMENT

1.1 Approvals. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it will at all times during the Term (as defined below) maintain in full force and effect and in good standing, as a Tenant Expense, all permits, licenses and approvals (“Approvals”) required by all laws, statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, codes, licenses, permits and orders, from time to time in existence, of all courts of competent jurisdiction and government agencies, and all applicable judicial and administrative and regulatory decrees, judgments and orders (collectively, “Applicable Laws”), including without limitation, all Approvals required by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, the Nevada Gaming Commission and the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board (collectively, the “Nevada Gaming Authorities”) relating to the Gaming Assets and the conduct of non-restricted gaming activities in the Leased Property (“Gaming Approvals”).

1.2 Gaming Activities. Without limiting any other provision herein, Tenant expressly covenants and agrees that it will, at all times during the Term:

(a) comply with all applicable Nevada gaming statutes and regulations, and the requirements of the Nevada Gaming Authorities (“Nevada Gaming Laws”); and

(b) in accordance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, provide supervision at or near the Gaming Assets to prevent minors from playing the Gaming Assets or loitering in the Gaming Operations Location; and

(c) undertake Gaming Operations with sound business practice, due diligence and efficiency so as to attempt to maximize Net Cash Flow (as defined below); and

(d) reasonably determine the location and selection of the Gaming Assets within the Leased Property so as to endeavor to maximize Casino Revenues; and

(e) provide change to customers using the Gaming Assets.

1.3 Gaming Assets. For purposes of this Lease, “Gaming Assets” has the meaning given in Section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement together with any additions and replacements thereto acquired by Tenant and used at or in connection with the Hotel during the Term. Tenant covenants that it will maintain the Gaming Assets at the Leased Property in the manner and condition as required by this Lease and further, that it will own or lease adequate and sufficient Gaming Assets to operate and maintain the Leased Property in accordance with the standards of operation in place at the Hotel as of the Commencement Date and to such higher standards of

operation as exist in the Hotel after the Commencement Date. Tenant further agrees to keep and maintain all Gaming Assets that do not consist of money (the “Non-Cash Gaming Assets”) in good condition and repair, and repair or replace all damaged or broken Non-Cash Gaming Assets as and when needed to keep and maintain the Non-Cash Gaming Assets operating and in good condition. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant must (i) repair and maintain the Gaming Assets found at the Hotel on the Commencement Date to the same condition as on the Commencement Date or better, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (ii) keep the same free of any security interest, chattel mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance; and (iii) as a Tenant Expense or using proceeds from the Capex Reserve Fund (at Landlord’s election), replace the same when such replacement is required by applicable law. All Non-Cash Gaming Assets installed in or furnished to the Hotel by Tenant during the Term (whether pursuant to contracts or commitments entered into by Tenant prior to or after the Commencement Date), if any, must be new and must be purchased for cash and acquired free of any security interest, chattel mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance, except for financing leases or conditional sales agreements directly from the lessor or vendor of any Non-Cash Gaming Assets.

1.4 Payments to the Vendor of Gaming Assets; Payments to Landlord.

(a) Tenant shall make, as a Tenant Expense, each and all of the payments called for by any and all financing leases or conditional sales agreements relating to Gaming Assets as such payments may be adjusted from time to time, in accordance with the terms of such financing leases or conditional sales agreements. Such payments shall be made by Tenant directly to the vendor under each such lease or conditional sales agreement. In the event the Gaming Assets are sold to a successor licensed operator, Tenant shall assign to the licensed operator succeeding Tenant all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to, and the licensed operator succeeding Tenant shall assume and thereafter duly perform each and all obligations of Tenant under, each Gaming Asset financing lease or conditional sales agreement maintained by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement after the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or entered into by Tenant after the Commencement Date as permitted under the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant may not enter into any financing leases or conditional sales agreements that would be binding on Tenant or Landlord after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. In addition, Tenant may not make any payments under any such leases or agreements (other than for the Gaming Assets) as a Tenant Expense unless such lease or agreement is approved by Landlord in writing in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) If (i) revenues from the Gaming Operations are insufficient in any month to pay the Priority Payment for such month, to pay all Tenant Expenses, or to maintain the financial condition required by the Nevada Gaming Authorities and (ii) all reserves provided for in this Lease have been exhausted and (iii) such insufficiency is not the result of any Event of Default or of Tenant’s dishonesty or criminal act or failure to act in good faith in the operation of the Gaming Operations and (iv) a loan from Landlord (each, a “Loan”) is required to satisfy such insufficiency, then Landlord will reasonably determine the amount of such deficiency and lend

Tenant sufficient funds to pay or satisfy the deficiency. The amount thus lent to Tenant will be evidenced by a promissory note in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Shortfall Note”), bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Note Rate”) with monthly payments in arrears on the last day of each calendar month of interest only at the Note Rate on the average daily principal balance of the Shortfall Note for such month. However, such payments shall be made only from available Net Cash Flow (defined below) from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent (defined below) and the Priority Payment (defined below). If available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent and the Priority Payment in any particular month is inadequate to make such payment, Tenant must use any amounts that have been deposited in any reserve account established under the terms of this Lease to make such payments, and if such reserve accounts are also inadequate to make such payment, then Tenant’s failure to pay the amount specified above shall not be a default under this Lease or the Shortfall Note, so long as Tenant pays the amount that is available from Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent and the Priority Payment and the amount existing in any reserve accounts. The remaining unpaid balance of the payment will be carried forward (the “Shortfall Note Carry Forward Balance”) and shall be due on the due date for the next installment thereunder on which and to the extent there is sufficient Net Cash Flow to pay both the regularly scheduled payment and to pay all or any part (to the extent of available Net Cash Flow) of the Shortfall Note Carry Forward Balance (together with interest on the Shortfall Note Carry Forward Balance, from the date the applicable payment would have been due but for its being carried forward, at the Note Rate).

(c) Any additional amounts advanced to Tenant, whether pursuant to this Section 1.4 or otherwise, beyond the face amount of the original Shortfall Note must, as a condition to the disbursement thereof, at Landlord’s option, be evidenced by a new note on the same terms and conditions as are provided in the original Shortfall Note or by additional notes each of which is on the same terms and conditions as the original Shortfall Note, except in either case, that the principal balance shall reflect the increased amount thereof. In either case such new note or original and additional notes will thereafter be referred to collectively herein as the “Shortfall Note”.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, upon termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant must repay to Landlord the entire balance of principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Loan.

1.5 Disposal of Gaming Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article I, Tenant shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to remove and sell, demolish or otherwise dispose of any Non-Cash Gaming Assets, whether installed in or furnished to the Hotel, prior to, on or after the Commencement Date, if (i) Tenant determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such act is necessary or desirable in connection with Tenant’s operation of the Leased Property; and (ii) Tenant at its cost (and, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.3, not as a Tenant Expense) replaces the item or items so removed and disposed of.

1.6 Transfer of Gaming Assets at the Hotel at End of Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, any Gaming Assets at the Hotel as of the Commencement Date or installed in or furnished to the Hotel by Tenant on or after the Commencement Date must either, at Landlord’s option and in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement:

(a) be transferred to Landlord; or

(b) if directed by Landlord, be transferred to the licensed operator succeeding Tenant,

free and clear of all liens, financing leases and conditional sales agreements other than those permitted under the Purchase Agreement or this Lease.

Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 1.6, in-house progressive jackpots will be dealt with by Tenant and Landlord in accordance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws.

1.7 Chips and Tokens.

(a) Tenant shall retain and use Tenant’s chips and tokens under the terms of a License Agreement to be entered into prior to the Commencement Date. Upon the Commencement Date, Tenant shall use chips and tokens which have been issued in accordance with Nevada Gaming Commission Regulations. Tenant shall redeem Tenant’s chips and tokens in accordance with Nevada Gaming Commission Regulations.

(b) The parties hereto agree that, at 12:00 midnight on the Commencement Date (the “Cut-Off Time”), and again at 11:59 P.M. on the date on which this Lease is terminated or the Term expires, all casino cage cash (the “Cage Cash”) and all casino chips and tokens shall be counted according to all applicable Gaming Approvals and Nevada Gaming Laws. Tenant must permit Landlord’s representatives to observe all aspects of such counts. Tenant will be entitled to all revenue received and will be liable for all expenses incurred, accrued or that relate to revenues received prior to the Cut-Off Time, and only amounts received after the Cut-Off Time will be treated as revenue for purposes of determining Net Cash Flow. Except for accounts receivable that were earned by Tenant prior to the Cut-Off Time, all accounts receivable by Tenant relating to Tenant’s activities at or in connection with the Leased Property will, after the expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease, belong to Landlord, if licensed, or, if Landlord is not licensed, a successor tenant designated by Landlord.

ARTICLE II
LEASED PROPERTY

2.1 Leased Property and Grant of Easement through Hotel. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Leased Property. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees a non-exclusive easement and right of

access through and across the Public Areas of the Hotel, as they exist and are modified by Landlord from time to time, for purposes of ingress and egress to the Leased Property.

Tenant hereby grants to Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, tenants, occupants, customers and invitees a non-exclusive easement and right of access through and across the Public Areas of the Gaming Operations Location for purposes of ingress and egress to the other portions of the Hotel.

2.3 Landlord’s Reservation. Landlord reserves to itself the roof and exterior walls of the building containing the Leased Property, and all space above the ceiling within the Leased Property, to accommodate the Hotel’s structural, mechanical and electrical conduit, piping, ducting and venting systems. Landlord further reserves the right to run utility lines, pipes, conduits and ductwork through the air space above Tenant’s ceiling, and through the columns and walls of the Leased Property, in locations which will minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Leased Property.

2.4 Changes to Hotel. Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time (a) to make or permit changes or revisions in the site plan for or layout of the Hotel including additions to, subtractions from, rearrangements of, alterations of, modifications of or supplements to the Leased Property, the Public Areas or the building areas, walkways, parking areas, driveways or other areas within the Hotel and upon the property on which the Hotel is located, (b) to construct other buildings or improvements in or as additions to the Hotel and to make alterations thereof or additions thereto and to build additional stories on any such building or buildings and to construct other buildings or improvements adjoining the same, and (c) to make or permit changes or revisions in the Hotel, including additions thereto, and to convey portions of the Hotel and the property on which the Hotel is located to others for the purpose of constructing thereon other buildings or improvements, including additions thereto and alterations thereof.

2.5 Relocation. Throughout the Term and from time to time, Landlord shall have a right to relocate all or a portion of the Associated Space within the Hotel provided that the total size of the Associated Space after such relocation is approximately the same square footage as the original Associated Space. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such relocation not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date thereof. Landlord shall reconstruct on the relocated Associated Space improvements substantially similar in quality, style and design to those constructed at the original Associated Space in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party. Landlord shall pay the cost of moving and reinstalling the fixtures, furnishings and equipment of Tenant into the relocated Associated Space. As of the later of the date specified in Landlord’s notice to Tenant or ten (10) days after Landlord has notified Tenant that it has completed the improvements to be constructed by Landlord on the relocated Associated Space, Tenant shall surrender the original Associated Space (or the portion thereof that is to be relocated), and shall move to the relocated Associated Space, and the relocated Associated Space shall be deemed the Associated Space hereunder as fully as if said relocated Associated Space were originally described herein as the Associated Space. Tenant agrees that promptly, on demand, it shall execute an amendment to this Lease designating the location of the relocated Associated Space.

2.6 Remodeling. If, at any time, from time to time, during the Term, Landlord remodels all or any portion of the Hotel, and such remodeling includes the Leased Property or a portion thereof, then Landlord shall have the right to change the dimensions or reduce the size of the Leased Property and to close all or a portion of the Hotel, including all or a portion of the Leased Property, for such period as Landlord deems advisable. If Tenant is required to close all or a portion of the Leased Property in connection with such remodeling, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such closure, Base Rent will be equitably abated based upon the portion of the floor area of the Leased Property that is rendered untenantable by such remodeling as a proportion of the total floor area of the Leased Property prior to such remodeling. In the event of any remodeling pursuant to this Section 2.6, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Leased Property caused thereby, and in the event of any reduction in the area of the Leased Property, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, Base Rent shall be equitably reduced based upon the portion of the floor area of the Leased Property that is rendered untenantable by such remodeling as a proportion of the total floor area of the Leased Property prior to such remodeling.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Person associated with Landlord who is denied a license or otherwise found unsuitable can be disassociated with Landlord to the satisfaction of the Nevada Gaming Authority, and Tenant’s nonrestricted gaming license remains in effect, then no termination right will exist under this Section 3.4(a).

(b) If at any time following the Commencement Date Richard Bosworth ceases to be a principal of Landlord or if Landlord assigns its interests hereunder to any Person for whom Richard Bosworth is not a principal, Tenant may terminate this Lease effective upon giving one (1) business day notice to Landlord. Upon termination of the Lease as provided under this Section 3.4(b) and except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to the other under this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Tenant’s termination right under this Section 3.4(b) is not triggered if Landlord assigns its interests under this Lease to any Person for whom Richard Bosworth is a principal.

3.5 Holding Over. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall at the option of Landlord be considered a month-to-month tenant, subject to all of the other terms and conditions hereof except that Base Rent will equal 200% of the Base Rent payable immediately prior to such expiration or termination, and Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE IV
RENT

4.1 Rent. Subject to the adjustments hereinafter provided, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as base monthly rent for the Leased Property the sum of Five Hundred Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($540,000.00) (the “Base Rent”), which shall be paid for each month on or before the last day of such month in arrears. The first such payment shall be due on the last day of the full or partial month in which the Commencement Date occurs and such payments shall continue on the last day of each month thereafter through and including the last day of the Term. Base Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in

such month falling within the Term divided by the number of days within such calendar month. “Rent” means all payments of (a) Base Rent (including Rollover Rent (defined below)) and (b) any and all other amounts required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If Net Cash Flow (after payment of the Priority Payment described in Section 4.2 hereof) is insufficient in any month to pay the full Base Rent provided for hereunder, Tenant shall not be required to pay currently the full Base Rent provided hereunder, but shall be required to pay currently only such amount as is available from Net Cash Flow (after payment of the Priority Payment described in Section 4.2 hereof) and amounts previously deposited in any reserve account established under this Lease. As long as Tenant pays all amounts that are required to be paid hereunder as and when described hereunder, Tenant’s failure to make the full payment of the Base Rent in any month shall not be considered a default hereunder, but any remaining Base Rent due shall be rolled over into the subsequent month. The aggregate of prior Base Rents due at any given time is referred to herein as the “Rollover Rent”. The Rollover Rent shall be paid from Net Cash Flow (after payment of the Base Rent provided in this Section 4.1 and the Priority Payment described in Section 4.2 hereof) and, to the extent such Net Cash Flow is insufficient, from amounts deposited in any reserve account established under this Lease to the maximum extent possible in any month where funds from any of these sources are available.

4.2 Base Fee-Priority Payments. Except with respect to any calendar month during which Tenant has committed an Event of Default and except with respect to any calendar month during which Tenant fails to operate the Leased Property continuously during all of the hours and days required under this Lease and each subsequent calendar month, for the Term of this Agreement, Landlord must pay Tenant Ninety Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($90,000.00) per calendar month payable on the last day of each month (the “Priority Payments”), which shall be for general management services provided by Tenant to Landlord that are not attributable to a specific, identified project. Tenant will not be entitled to any Priority Payment for any month during which an Event of Default has occurred or continues or for any month during which Tenant failed at any time and for any length of time to operate the Leased Property continuously during all of the hours and days required under this Lease or for any calendar month subsequent to the month in which such failure to operate occurred. The Priority Payments shall be prorated for any partial calendar month during the Term. All such pro-rations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in such month falling within the Term divided by the number of days within such calendar month. So long as any portion of the Leased Property is leased pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall continue to receive the Priority Payments in full without any pro-ration or offset.

4.3 Additional Interest and Principal Payments; Reserves. As soon as reasonably practical but no later than the twentieth-fifth (25th) day of the first calendar month following the Commencement Date and each calendar month thereafter, Tenant shall deposit the following reserves or pay the following amounts, as applicable:

(a) all interest due under the Shortfall Note must be paid to Landlord if any debt remains on such Shortfall Note, but only to the extent Tenant has available Net Cash Flow from

the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent) and the Priority Payment, for the prior month; and

(b) the principal balance under the Shortfall Note must be paid to Landlord if any debt remains on such Shortfall Note, but only to the extent Tenant has available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent), the Priority Payment, and the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.3(a) above, for the prior month; and

(c) all interest due under the Working Capital Note (as defined below) must be paid to Landlord if any debt remains on such Working Capital Note, but only to the extent Tenant has available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent), the Priority Payment, and the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 4.3(a) and (b) above, for the prior month; and

(d) Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), to the extent Tenant has available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent), the Priority Payment and the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 4.3(a), (b) and (c) above, for the prior month, must be deposited into a “Capex Reserve Fund” for the sole purpose of funding capital improvements to the Leased Property (“Capital Improvements”), including, without limitation, the purchase of gaming devices and the cost of making capital improvements to the Leased Property. The amounts in the Capex Reserve Fund must be held separate from other accounts of Tenant in an account that includes “Capex Reserve Fund” in its name and must not be commingled with any other funds of Tenant or any other account. Tenant must keep the Capex Reserve Fund and all funds therein free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of set-off. No amounts may be expended from the Capex Reserve Fund without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For each disbursement of funds from the Capex Reserve Fund, Tenant must provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of payment for Capital Improvements as pursuant to the plan and approved by Landlord, which shall include copies of paid invoices or cancelled checks in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for the amounts paid and, if required by Landlord, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with such payment. Any amounts remaining in the Capex Reserve Fund on the Termination Date of this Lease shall become the property of Landlord. To the extent Tenant has insufficient Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations in any given month to deposit the full required contribution to the Capex Reserve Fund, Tenant must make the applicable reserve contribution in the next month in which its Net Cash Flows are sufficient to make such contribution; and

(e) Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), but only to the extent Tenant has available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent), Priority Payments and the amounts required to be paid or deposited pursuant to Sections 4.3(a), (b), (c) and (d) above, for the prior month, must be deposited into a joint marketing account (the “Joint Marketing Fund”) for the sole purpose of

funding marketing activities that jointly market the Hotel and restaurants operated at the Hotel and the casino operated by Tenant (“Marketing Expenses”). The amounts in the Joint Marketing Fund must be held separate from other accounts of Tenant in an account that includes “Joint Marketing Fund” in its name and must not be commingled with any other funds of Tenant or any other account. Tenant must keep the Joint Marketing Fund and all funds therein free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of set-off. No amounts may be expended from the Joint Marketing Fund without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For each disbursement of funds from the Joint Marketing Fund, Tenant must provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of payment for Marketing Expenses as approved by Landlord, which shall include copies of paid invoices or cancelled checks in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for the amounts paid. Any amounts remaining in the Joint Marketing Fund upon the expiration or termination of this Lease shall become the property of Landlord; and

(f) all remaining Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after deducting therefrom the Base Rent (including all Rollover Rent), Priority Payments and the amounts required to be paid or deposited pursuant to Sections 4.3(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), above, for the prior month, must be deposited into a reserve account (the “Surplus Reserve Fund”) for application, on a monthly basis as follows: (a) 75% shall be applied (the “Lessor’s Share”) to the Surplus Reserve Fund; and (b) 25% shall be withheld from Net Cash Flow by Tenant. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any funds remaining in the Surplus Reserve Fund resulting from Lessor’s Share shall be the sole property of Landlord.

For purposes of this Lease, “Net Cash Flow” means for any period, net income of Tenant, any affiliate, and any person acting under the management, direction or control of or under common control with Tenant (including Landlord, while performing services for or on behalf of Tenant or at Tenant’s request) from all business conducted in, at, from or in connection with any and all portions of the Leased Property, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, as modified as required by Applicable Law (“GAAP”), plus:

1. without duplication, and in each case to the extent deducted in arriving at net income for such period, the sum of the following amounts:

A. total interest expense for such period, whether paid or accrued and whether or not capitalized, other than interest under the slot leases permitted under the terms of this Lease and interest payable to Landlord;

B. total federal, state, local and foreign income, franchise, withholding, property and similar taxes, except, to the extent actually paid by Tenant, as provided in Section 1.4 of the Cash Management Agreement (defined below);

C. amortization and depreciation;

D. any amounts required hereunder to be paid by Tenant (I) as a result of an Event of Default or (II) as a result of any failure by Tenant to comply with its

obligations hereunder or any note executed in connection with the Lease or violation by Tenant of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease or any note executed in connection with the Lease or (III) any indemnity, defense or hold harmless obligation provided for herein by Tenant or (IV) that are identified herein as being at Tenant’s “sole cost” or “sole cost and expense” (whether using those words or words of similar import) (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”);

E. extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges (provided that cash expenditures in respect of charges referred to in this clause (E) may be deducted in determining Net Cash Flow only for the period during which such expenditures were made);

F. all losses from investments recorded using the equity method;

G. to the extent not otherwise included in the determination of net income for such period, all proceeds of business income or interruption insurance policies, if any, received during such period; less

2. without duplication and to the extent included in arriving at such net income, the sum of the following amounts for such period:

A. extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains (other than any insurance, condemnation, sale or other proceeds);

B. non-cash gains (excluding any non-cash gain to the extent it represents the reversal of an accrual or reserve for a potential cash item that reduced Net Cash Flow in any prior period);

C. all gains from investments recorded using the equity method;

D. all Priority Payments;

E. principal payments on slot leases permitted under the terms of this Lease;

in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

4.4 Payment of Rent. All Rent and other monies required to be paid to Landlord hereunder shall be paid without offset, deduction, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the offices of Landlord, at 155 East Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, to the extent not deposited pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.

4.5 Lockbox Account. All revenue received by Tenant in connection with Gaming Operations will be deposited pursuant to that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith, by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “Cash Management Agreement”). Until such funds are deposited into the accounts established by the Cash Management Agreement, they must be held by Tenant in trust for the benefit of Landlord, and must be deposited into such accounts as soon as reasonably practical. All amounts deposited in the accounts established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement will belong to and be the property of Tenant except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or the Cash Management Agreement. All accounts established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement will be controlled by and in the name of Landlord. Funds in such accounts shall be maintained, withdrawn and transferred in accordance with and only in accordance with the terms of this Lease. A breach of the covenant set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by either party hereto, if such breach is not cured within forty-eight (48) hours (or the next Business Day, if such forty-eight (48) hour period expires on a day that is not a Business Day) after written notice from the other party hereto, will be grounds for termination of this Lease by the other party hereto.

4.6 Reporting.

(a) Tenant must submit to Landlord, on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each calendar month during the Term, commencing after the first full or partial calendar month of the Term, a written statement signed by Tenant showing Net Cash Flow, the total gross revenues received by Tenant and the itemized amounts paid or reserved for all additions and subtractions applied in arriving at such Net Cash Flow, for the preceding calendar month. Together with such report, Tenant must pay or deposit such sums as such report reveals to be due and owing, although such payment and Landlord’s acceptance thereof will not relieve Tenant of any liability arising as a result of such late payment.

(b) In addition, on or before sixty (60) days following the close of each calendar year (or the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease), Tenant must furnish to Landlord a statement certified by an officer of Tenant, or a certified public accountant employed by Tenant, of the Net Cash Flow, the total gross revenues and the itemized amounts paid or reserved for all additions and subtractions applied in arriving at such Net Cash Flow, relating to Tenant’s operations at the Leased Property during the preceding calendar year (or portion thereof). Such report must include a monthly itemization of all such reportable items and must include a reconciliation of the monthly reports provided under Section 4.6(a), above.

(c) For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of reportable sales and revenue, Tenant agrees to record each and every item of revenue at the time of the transaction on a computer system that produces and maintains records of each such transaction in a record that cannot be altered without also recording the occurrence and substance of such alteration. Tenant agrees that such computer system will be set up so that such records cannot be changed by the individual operating the computer system.

(d) If Tenant fails to prepare and deliver any statement of Net Cash Flow in a timely manner as required herein and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord, may do any or all of the following: (A) elect to treat Tenant’s failure to report as an Event of Default under this Lease, (B) elect to make an audit, at Tenant’s expense, of all books and records of Tenant which in any way pertain to or show Net Cash Flow and to prepare the statement or statements which Tenant has failed to prepare and deliver, in which event Tenant must reimburse Landlord, as additional rent, for the cost of such audit and statement preparation and immediately pay or deposit such sums as such audit reveals to be due and owing, or (C) impose, as additional rent, a late/non-reporting fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for each such failure by Tenant. The statement or statements so prepared shall be conclusive on Tenant, and Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, or deposit, as applicable, on demand all expenses of such audit and of the preparation of any such statements and all sums as may be shown by such audit to be due under the terms of this Lease.

(e) Subject to Applicable Laws, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, provide a program for the purpose of collecting daily sales information directly from Tenant via Tenant’s designated representatives at the Leased Property. Tenant must cooperate with Landlord in connection with the installation of any equipment required to implement such program and must use such program. The program may be in the form of automated, computerized telecommunication. The costs and expenses in connection with the operation of the program will be paid for either by Landlord as an Operating Expense or by proceeds from the Capex Reserve or Joint Marketing Funds. The information collected may be used by Landlord for evaluating and responding to market trends and such other matters as Landlord finds appropriate.

4.7 Books and Records.

(a) Tenant agrees to keep on the Leased Property, accurate books and records (as more specifically identified in this Lease) of all business conducted at the Leased Property in accordance with GAAP, and said records shall be open and available for examination at the Leased Property at all reasonable times by Landlord, or Landlord’s representatives, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, for the purpose of ascertaining or verifying the Net Cash Flow. All records must be retained by Tenant for examination by Landlord for a period of at least seven (7) years following the end of the calendar year to which said records apply.

(b) Tenant further agrees that for the purposes hereinbefore recited, Tenant shall prepare, preserve and maintain for each calendar year, the following documents, books, accounts and records:

(1) computer records maintained as recited herein;

(2) a single, separate bank account into which all receipts of business and other revenue from operations on or from the Leased Property are initially deposited in accordance with that certain Cash Management Agreement;

(3) all bank statements detailing transactions in or through any business bank account;

(4) daily or weekly gaming revenue detailed reports;

(5) a general ledger or a summary record of all cash receipts and disbursements from operations on or from the Leased Property;

(6) copies of all sales, gaming or use tax returns filed with any governmental authority which reflect in any manner sales, income or revenue generated in or from the Leased Property; and

(7) such other records or accounts as Landlord may reasonably require in order to ascertain, document, or substantiate reportable Net Cash Flow as defined herein, and as are required pursuant to normal casino reporting requirements that are standard to the industry within Clark County, Nevada.

(c) If upon inspection or examination of Tenant’s available books and records of account, Landlord determines that Tenant has failed to maintain, preserve, or retain the above-recited documents, books, and records of account in the manner detailed herein, Landlord shall give Tenant sixty (60) days within which to cure such deficiencies. Further, if Tenant is found to be deficient in maintaining any of the above-recited documents, books or records of account, Tenant must reimburse Landlord for reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in determining said deficiencies, including, but not limited to, any audit or examination fees incurred by Landlord.

If after receiving the aforesaid notice, and upon expiration of the sixty (60) day time period specified herein, Tenant fails to cure the noted deficiencies, Landlord may, at its option, either grant Tenant additional time to cure the deficiencies, treat such failure as an Event of Default under this Lease, or, at Tenant’s expense and for Tenant’s benefit, retain a good and reputable independent accounting or bookkeeping firm located in Clark County, Nevada, to prepare and maintain the above-recited documents, books and records of accounts. If Landlord elects the latter option, Tenant agrees and covenants that the representative or representatives of said accounting or bookkeeping firm will have full right of entry and access to the Leased Property and existing financial records, and full cooperation by Tenant, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the documents, records and books of account recited hereinabove. Any expenses incurred by Landlord in furtherance of its rights hereunder will be considered additional rent for the Leased Property (and not as a Tenant Expense) and will be due and payable by Tenant with the next due installment of Rent.

(d) In the event an examination of the records of Tenant to verify said Net Cash Flow discloses a deficiency in excess of two percent (2%) of the Net Cash Flow reported for any calendar year, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the reasonable costs and expenses of such audit

as additional rent. Any additional payments or deposits found due and owing as a result of said audit must be immediately paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. If an examination by Landlord or its representative discloses that Tenant has overreported Net Cash Flow and that, as a result of said overreporting, Tenant has overpaid any payment or deposit, Landlord shall credit such overpayments against the next due installment of the applicable payment or deposit due and owing by Tenant (or, if at the end of the Term, Landlord shall pay any such amounts to which Tenant is entitled within thirty (30) days after Tenant has delivered its final certified statement of Net Cash Flows to Landlord).

(e) Landlord and Tenant both acknowledge and agree that the accounting personnel employed by and reporting to Landlord and Tenant, respectively, shall reasonably cooperate with one another to ensure compliance with all Applicable Laws, Nevada Gaming Laws, and requests and requirements of the Nevada Gaming Authorities, and to ensure accurate and timely preparation, preservation, and maintenance of all books and records. Notwithstanding any other provisions within this Lease, the provisions of this Section 4.7(e) shall survive the termination of this Lease or the expiration of the Term.

4.8 Late Charges and Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant fails to pay any Rent or any other sum due and owing Landlord within five (5) days following the due date of said Rent or other sum, then Tenant shall pay, as additional Rent, a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount due.

(b) In addition to any late charges provided for herein, any amount not paid by Tenant within five (5) days after its due date in accordance with the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from such due date until paid in full at the lesser of the highest rate permitted by applicable law or fifteen percent (15%) per year, payable as additional Rent. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.

4.9 Distribution of Remaining Funds. If, upon the expiration of the Term or the termination of the Lease, Landlord has not obtained the necessary Approvals to operate the Gaming Operations, and there are funds remaining in any of the reserve funds established under this Lease or the Cash Management Agreement (the “Remaining Funds”), the Remaining Funds will be used to pay down any remaining balance of principal and interest on the Shortfall Note

and the Working Capital Note, and if any Remaining Funds still remain following the pay-down of the principal and interest on the Shortfall Note and the Working Capital Note (such remaining Remaining Funds, the “Additional Remaining Funds”), any such Additional Remaining Funds will be transferred into a separate account controlled jointly by Landlord and Tenant (with neither Landlord nor Tenant having authority to withdraw funds absent the joint signatures of both Landlord and Tenant), which account will hold such Remaining Funds until either Landlord obtains the necessary Approvals to operate the Gaming Operations or a successor licensee to Tenant is designated and able to receive the Additional Remaining Funds, whereupon such Additional Remaining Funds must be released to Landlord or the successor licensee, as applicable. Any Additional Remaining Funds transferred to a successor licensee succeeding Tenant will be transferred, free and clear of all liens other than those permitted under the Cash Management Agreement or this Lease. If, within one (1) year after the expiration of the Term or the termination of the Lease other than pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or due to an Event of Default, Landlord has neither obtained the necessary Approvals to operate the Gaming Operation or designated a successor licensee, and there are Additional Remaining Funds, such Additional Remaining Funds shall be transferred to Tenant.

ARTICLE V
EXPENSES AND LANDLORD OBLIGATIONS

5.1 Lease Expenses.

(a) It is specifically understood and agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that this Lease is a “gross lease” and the Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease includes direct payment by Landlord of all Operating Expenses. Each cost or expense incurred or paid by Tenant and each cost or expense incurred, accrued or paid by Landlord in connection with the Leased Property or the operation of the Gaming Operations at the Leased Property will be paid and accounted for in one of three (3) ways: (i) paid directly by Landlord as an Operating Expense, in which case it will not be treated as an expense for purposes of calculating Net Cash Flow; (ii) paid directly by Tenant as a Tenant Expense, in which case it will be treated as an expense for purposes of calculating Net Cash Flow; (iii) if it is an Excluded Expense or does not qualify as a Tenant Expense, paid directly by Tenant and neither reimbursed by Landlord nor treated as an expense for purposes of calculating Net Cash Flow; or (iv) paid from a reserve account to the extent permitted under the terms of this Lease, in which case it will not be a Tenant Expense.

(b) “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses that are incurred or accrued by Landlord in connection with this Lease, Landlord’s obligations hereunder, or the operation of the Gaming Operations, the Leased Property, or both. Operating Expenses are further described in Section 5.3, below.

(c) If, following Tenant’s presentation to Landlord of any operating budget, either Landlord or Tenant knows of or, with reasonable inquiry, should know of any circumstance that

makes or is likely to make such budget inaccurate in any material respect, such party must notify the other party of such knowledge. Promptly following any such notice, both parties must meet and confer and revise the applicable budget so as to address such knowledge.

(d) Tenant may deduct as an expense for purposes of calculating Net Cash Flow, all Tenant Expenses. “Tenant Expenses” means all of the following out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Tenant in the ordinary course of business with respect to Gaming Operations of Tenant at or in connection with the Leased Property, that do not constitute Operating Expenses or Excluded Expenses, that are not covered by insurance maintained or required to be maintained by Tenant, and that are not paid using proceeds from any reserve funds established pursuant to the terms of this Lease, without duplication: (i) all slot, table, poker, cage, surveillance (in connection with Tenant’s obligations under Section 5.2 hereof) casino accounting, and certain Gaming Operations-related general and administrative (to the extent not otherwise permitted or limited below) expenses; (ii) those costs and expenses required by applicable Nevada Gaming Laws to be paid by Tenant and all costs and expenses for purchasing playing cards and decks and other similar gaming supplies and for routine maintenance of the Gaming Assets (collectively, “Gaming Expenses”); (iii) except for Live Entertainment Taxes for entertainment that is not provided by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or licensees at the Hotel (“Non-Lessee LET”), any taxes, fees, collections, impositions, assessments, fines, penalties, late fees or any other charges of any kind (except as limited in clause (iv) hereinbelow) that are imposed, collected, verified or audited by any of the Nevada Gaming Authorities (collectively, “Gaming Charges”); (iv) those costs and expenses that are reasonably required in order for Tenant to maintain compliance with all applicable Gaming Approvals and Nevada Gaming Laws, including gaming violations fines and penalties up to an aggregate amount throughout the Term of Thirty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000.00); (v) those costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with its obligations under Section 5.2; (vi) any wages, payroll taxes or costs of fringe benefits incurred by Tenant for employees of Tenant or employees under Tenant’s supervision as required hereunder or by Nevada Gaming Laws (all of whom will be directly employed by Tenant); provided that amounts paid to Tenant’s executive employees may be treated as a Tenant Expense only to the extent that such executive employee devotes substantially all of her or his time to the Gaming Operations at the Leased Property and all such executive compensation does not exceed, in the aggregate, $460,000.00 per annum and compensation for all other employees must be consistent with the past practices of Tenant (prior to the date of this Lease) in the operation of the Gaming Assets; (vii) any costs of servicing, maintenance, repairs or additions to or replacements of the Gaming Assets; (viii) any personal property tax or other ad valorem taxes on the Gaming Assets; (ix) premiums for all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under Article IX hereof; (x) any payouts, premiums or prizes or similar expenses related directly to operation of the Gaming Operations; and (xi) all payments due under the slot machine leases Tenant is permitted to maintain hereunder. Landlord shall pay all Operating Expenses in consideration of the Rent, and Tenant shall pay directly to the applicable authority or payee all Tenant Expenses, Non-Lessee LET to the extent paid to Tenant by Landlord as provided in this Section 5.1, Excluded Expenses, and other expenses related to the operation of the Gaming Operations that are not Tenant Expenses. As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord will be responsible for payment to

Tenant of any Non-Lessee LET that Tenant is required to pay to Nevada Gaming Authorities. As to any expenses paid for as Tenant Expenses, any and all Claims of Tenant arising from any circumstances giving rise to such Tenant Expenses are hereby presently and irrevocably assigned to Landlord, and Tenant further agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord in pursuing such Claims and, although no further instrument will be required to make such assignment effective, as a condition precedent and, as applicable, subsequent to Tenant’s right to treat such expenses as Tenant Expenses, Tenant must sign such further instruments as Landlord requires in order to make such assignment effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Landlord may reject any such assignment of Claims by Tenant at any time, upon written notice to Tenant of the rejection of the assignment of such Claims.

5.2 Surveillance and Security. As a Tenant Expense, Tenant shall be responsible for the installation, maintenance, repair and (if necessary) replacement of all surveillance devices (“Surveillance Equipment”) for both the Leased Property and the Hotel as required by Nevada Gaming Authorities and applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and as is customary for the operation of a first-class hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. All installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of Surveillance Equipment by Tenant shall be performed under the supervision of Landlord and in accordance with Nevada Gaming Laws and as a Tenant Expense. In addition, as a Tenant Expense, Tenant shall be responsible for the operation of the Surveillance Equipment and shall employ and supervise adequate numbers of surveillance personnel. Landlord shall be responsible for all security for the Leased Property at a level that is consistent with the level of security provided to such portions of the Hotel prior to the date of this Lease. Landlord shall supervise trained security officers and other security personnel to provide security services to the Leased Property and the remainder of the Hotel, as required by the Nevada Gaming Authorities and in compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and as is customary for the operation of a first-class hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Landlord and Tenant shall hold periodic meetings to discuss and agree on the adequacy of such security services.

5.3 Further Definition of Operating Expenses. For the purposes of this Lease, Operating Expenses include (a) all real and personal property taxes and assessments, both special and general, and all other federal, state or local taxes of every kind and nature (other than franchise, income, alternative minimum, gift, estate or other taxes in the nature of income, gift or estate taxes, but including any taxes payable on the net or gross Rent) levied or imposed on the Hotel or the Leased Property (but not on the Priority Payments), but expressly excluding Gaming Charges and gaming or entertainment taxes other than Non-Lessee LET, (b) all local or state fees and taxes for occupancy or use of (but not including operation of the Gaming Operations in) the Hotel or the Leased Property, (c) premiums for all insurance policies required to be carried by Landlord under Article IX hereof, (d) all costs of providing cleaning, janitorial services and trash removal for the Hotel and Leased Property, including all wages and payroll taxes incurred during the Term for employees providing such services and all costs of pest control, carpet cleaning, glass cleaning or other services provided by third-party vendors, (e) the cost of all inventory and supplies necessary to operate the Hotel and the Leased Property (but not the Gaming Operations) during the Term, such as cleaning supplies, paper and other restroom supplies, janitorial equipment, waste baskets, directional signage, light bulbs, ballasts and similar items, and (f) the

cost of all maintenance, repair and replacement of the Hotel facility, including the Leased Property, including carpet, flooring, wallcovering and décor maintenance, repairs and replacement, as necessary; but specifically excluding from the foregoing expenses and costs, all Tenant Expenses, Gaming Charges other than Non-Lessee LET and Excluded Expenses. Landlord agrees to pay all ad valorem taxes levied against the Hotel no later than the assessing or taxing authority’s delinquency date. If permitted by Applicable Laws, Landlord may pay any tax, charge or assessment in installments as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment. All services performed by Landlord as part of the Operating Expenses that relate to Tenant’s operation of the Gaming Operations (including, without limitation, accounting, information technology and human resources) must be performed at a level that is consistent with the level at which such services were provided to the Gaming Operations prior to the Commencement Date subject to adjustments for changes in volume of business. If Landlord fails to provide any such services at such levels and such failure limits Tenant’s ability to continue to operate the Gaming Operations at the level required hereunder and such failure continues for more than 48 hours after written notice from Tenant, then Tenant may perform such services as a Tenant Expense to the extent required to remove such limitation on Tenant’s ability to so operate the Gaming Operations.

5.4 Employee Parking. Landlord shall designate from time to time those parking areas (which may be on or off the Hotel property, as elected by Landlord) to be used by employees of Tenant at the Leased Property and Tenant shall require its employees to park only in such designated areas. The number of parking spaces so designated shall not be less than one (1) space per employee for the average number of Tenant’s employees present at the Leased Property during the peak hour of Tenant’s operations each week and shall be in materially the same location or locations designated for the employees of the Hotel.

5.5 Alcoholic Beverages; Food.

(a) Landlord shall cause its employees to sell the alcoholic beverages offered by Landlord to Tenant for service to customers of the Gaming Operations (“Gaming Customers”), which beverages shall be signed for and approved by authorized representatives of Tenant for the same price as such beverages are offered to non-Gaming Customers except for well drinks, which will be sold to Tenant for $1.50 per beverage. The foregoing price for well drinks shall be available only to Gaming Customers engaged in gaming activities at the Leased Property and served by Landlord’s cocktail servers or bartenders at the Hotel. Landlord shall invoice Tenant not more than weekly for the sale of any alcoholic beverages to Gaming Customers that are not paid for directly by such Gaming Customers. Tenant must pay such charges, as additional rent, within two (2) business days after receipt of such notice. Alcoholic beverages other than well drinks may be purchased by Tenant at the same price as such beverages are offered to the general public. All such charges for alcoholic beverages shall be Tenant Expenses to the extent incurred in the normal course of Gaming Operations at the Leased Property and consistent with Tenant’s past practices (prior to the date of this Lease) as adjusted for changes in the volume of business.

(b) Complimentary meals from restaurants operated by Landlord at the Hotel may be provided by Tenant to Gaming Customers based upon pre-set, standard guidelines issued by Landlord to Tenant or the host, which may be revised from time to time by Landlord upon written notice to Tenant or the host.

5.6 Employee Meals. Landlord shall offer to Tenant’s on-duty employees meals at Landlord’s employee dining room for the same price as Landlord sells meals to Landlord’s employees at the Hotel. In order to purchase such meals, each employee shall be required to identify himself/herself to Landlord’s food servers as an on-duty employee of Tenant at the time the meal order is placed and present a food coupon for each such meal issued by Tenant in a form approved by Landlord.

5.7 Room Rentals. Subject to availability and Landlord’s approval, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole, subjective discretion, Tenant shall be entitled to rent rooms in the hotel portion of the Hotel for Tenant’s Gaming Customers at a rate equal to Landlord’s then current “rack rate” for the applicable room type on the day of occupancy. Tenant shall not charge a mark-up on such rooms or re-sell such rooms other than to Gaming Customers.

5.8 Intentionally omitted.

5.9 Post-Lease-Term Expenses. After the expiration of the Term or the termination of the Lease, except to the extent paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.10 below, Landlord must reimburse Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment by Tenant of the requested amount of any PLT Expenses and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request in order to verify that the requested PLT Expenses qualify as such. “PLT Expenses” means all actual, reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses related to Gaming Operations conducted by Tenant from the Leased Property prior to the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease (i) that are incurred by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, (ii) that were paid to a Person who is neither Tenant, an affiliate of Tenant, nor a Person in whom Tenant or any principal or affiliate of Tenant holds any material interest or to whom Tenant or any principal or affiliate of Tenant is related and (iii) that Tenant is obligated to pay after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease and (iv) as to which Tenant would have been entitled to reimbursement as a Tenant Expense or to treat as an expense for purposes of calculating Net Cash Flow but for the expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.9, PLT Expenses shall not include any compensation for Tenant’s executive employees. All revenue, income, proceeds and payments received or receivable by Tenant after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease that relate to Gaming Operations conducted by Tenant from the Leased Property prior to the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease must be paid or assigned to Landlord immediately upon receipt and until thus paid or assigned must be held in trust by Tenant for the benefit of Landlord. Tenant hereby presently and irrevocably assigns to Landlord any and all Claims of Tenant arising in connection with the Leased Property and all Gaming Operations conducted by Tenant at the Leased Property and agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord in pursuing such Claims and, although no further

instrument will be required to make such assignment effective, Tenant will sign such further instruments as Landlord requires in order to make such assignment effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may reject any such assignment of Claims by Tenant at any time, upon written notice to Tenant of the rejection of the assignment of such Claims. Notwithstanding any other provisions within this Lease, the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the termination of this Lease or the expiration of the Term.

5.10 Notes; Holdback. Upon the termination of the Lease or the expiration of the Term, all funds in the Working Capital Account and in the cage will be applied to any balance owed on the Shortfall Note and the Working Capital Note before determination of the amount to be used in connection with Section 1.7(ii) of the Purchase Agreement. Upon the termination of the Lease or the expiration of the Term, One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), or such lesser amount as the parties hereto may reasonably agree upon, shall be placed in a holdback account for Tenant’s exclusive use to pay any PLT Expenses that are not paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof (the “Holdback Account”). The Holdback Account shall be established by Landlord and Tenant with an Eligible Institution (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) pursuant to a commercially reasonably holdback agreement. Funds held in the Holdback Account and not used by Tenant for payment of PLT Expenses within six (6) months following the termination of the Lease or the expiration of the Term shall be returned to Landlord.

ARTICLE VI
USE OF LEASED PROPERTY AND TENANT OBLIGATIONS

6.1 Conduct of Gaming Operations. It is understood, and Tenant so agrees, that the Leased Property, at all times during the Term, shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for the conduct of the Gaming Operations in compliance with all Applicable Laws and for purposes directly related thereto and for no other purpose or purposes. At all times during the Term, Tenant shall keep the Leased Property open for conduct of the Gaming Operations in accordance with past practices, except during a Force Majeure Event, renovation by Landlord and/or construction activities of Landlord that make the continuing operation of the Gaming Operations impractical. At all times during the Term, except during a Force Majeure Event, Tenant shall maintain sufficient numbers of competently trained and supervised employees necessary to adequately conduct the Gaming Operations consistent with past operations at the Hotel and in accordance with all Applicable Laws. In addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity, if Tenant fails to continuously operate the Leased Property on the days and during the hours required hereunder: (a) Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as additional rent and, in addition to the Rent otherwise payable hereunder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of 1/365ths of the annual Base Rent for each day on which Tenant fails to operate the Leased Property as required under this Lease, which amounts are to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s and Tenant’s estimate of the losses Landlord would suffer as a result of lost Hotel occupancy and traffic resulting from such a failure and for other actual and substantial

losses that Landlord may suffer, all of which losses Landlord and Tenant acknowledge are extremely difficult to forecast. Nothing contained in this Section 6.1 may be construed to waive any rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant. Landlord may offset any amounts payable by Tenant hereunder against any amounts Landlord may owe Tenant.

6.2 Additional Obligations. Tenant further agrees, at all times during the Term, that:

(a) Tenant may promote its operations at the Hotel using only such trade name and such trade marks and logos and other brand identifiers as are designated by Landlord in Landlord’s sole, absolute and subjective discretion and will abide by all licensing agreements related to the use of any such trade names, trade marks, logos and other brand identifiers;

(b) Tenant shall not conduct any auction, fire, distress or bankruptcy sales within the Leased Property;

(d) Tenant shall not perform any act or carry on any practice which may injure the Leased Property, cause any offensive odors or loud noise, constitute a nuisance or a menace, obstruct or materially interfere with the rights of Landlord, or commit or suffer any immoral or illegal act to be committed thereon;

(e) unless otherwise consented to by Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant shall conduct the Gaming Operations on a twenty four (24) hour-a-day, seven (7) day-a-week basis;

(f) Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, operate or permit to be operated on the Leased Property any coin or token-operated vending machines or similar devices for the sale or leasing to the public of any goods, wares, merchandise, food, beverages, and/or service, excluding any and all vending machines (including without limitation automated teller machines) constituting Gaming Assets and located in the Leased Property as of the Commencement Date, and provided that Tenant shall have the right to operate Gaming Assets having capabilities similar to automated teller machines subject to Gaming Approval by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, if required;

(g) without limiting the provisions of Article I hereof, Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, comply with all Applicable Laws and shall also comply with the terms and conditions of any policies of insurance now or hereafter in effect pertaining to the Leased Property or the Hotel, except that matters relating to fire, building or other code deficiencies requiring alterations or improvements to the Hotel shall be abated by Landlord as an Operating Expense; and

(h) Tenant shall not, without prior express written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole, absolute and subjective discretion, keep, use or store or allow to be kept, used or stored, upon or about the Leased Property any Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding Section 7.4 or any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant will remain the owner of all Hazardous Materials installed or permitted to be installed by Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, or employees upon or within the Leased Property. “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant that is or could be regulated under any Environmental Requirement or that may adversely affect human health or the environment, including, without limitation, any solid or hazardous waste, hazardous substance, asbestos, petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas, synthetic gas, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and radioactive material). “Environmental Laws” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, permits, authorizations, orders, policies or requirements of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, agency or court or of any insurer of Landlord or Tenant regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Leased Property or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C.

ARTICLE VII
MAINTENANCE OF LEASED PROPERTY

7.1 Maintenance by Landlord. Landlord agrees that, from and after the Commencement Date of this Lease and at all times during the Term, it will, as an Operating Expense, keep neat and clean, and maintain in good order, condition and repair, the Leased Property and every part and portion thereof, in a tenantable and attractive condition, consistent with the terms hereof (whether or not the need for such maintenance and repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property or any portion thereof), and Landlord shall with commercially reasonable promptness and diligence make all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, including, but not limited to all necessary capital expenditures. All repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards for hotels similar to the Hotel in like locales, in

accordance with all Applicable Laws relating to any such work. Landlord further agrees that the Leased Property shall be kept in a clean, sanitary and safe condition, normal wear and tear excepted, in accordance with all Applicable Laws and in accordance with all directions, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, including, without limitation, the health officers, fire marshall, building inspector, business license department, and other proper officers of all such governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Hotel and/or the Leased Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant waives any claims against Landlord for and releases Landlord from any claim, damages, liability, legal action, loss, cost or expense (collectively, the “Claims”), including loss of revenue or goodwill, resulting from fire or other casualty, interruption of utilities or services, acts of governmental authorities or other events not resulting from the intentional and wrongful acts of Landlord, except to the extent covered by insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Article IX below.

7.2 Responsibilities of Tenant. Without limiting Landlord’s obligations under Section 7.1 above, Tenant shall direct its employees to use their best commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Leased Property clean and in good working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and Tenant and its employees, agents and contractors shall not intentionally waste utilities or services provided by Landlord and shall not unreasonably use or cause waste to the Leased Property so as to increase the cost of cleaning, maintenance and repairs to be performed by Landlord. Tenant shall not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which materially and adversely impairs the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof.

7.3 Tenant Alterations; Signage.

(a) Tenant shall not make alterations, improvements and/or additions (collectively, “Alterations”) to the Leased Property without first obtaining, in each instance, the prior express written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole, absolute and subjective discretion. In no event may Tenant make any Alterations that would affect the building structure or any utilities or building systems of the Hotel, affect the exterior appearance of the Hotel, violate Applicable Laws or the requirements of any insurer of the Hotel or result in an increase in the Tenant Expenses.

(b) Tenant must not exhibit or affix any type of sign, decal, advertisement, notice or other writing, awning, antenna or other projection to the roof or the outside walls or windows of the Hotel or that is visible outside of the Leased Property, without Landlord’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole, absolute and subjective discretion.

7.4 Surrender of Improvements. All additions, improvements and fixtures which may be made or installed by either Landlord or, if consented to by Landlord pursuant to Section 7.3, Tenant upon the Leased Property during the Term (including, without limitation, any Capital Improvements constructed or installed using proceeds of the Capex Reserve Fund) (a) will immediately upon such installation, and without payment of any sums by Landlord therefor, become the property of Landlord and must thereafter remain upon the Leased Property and (b) at the expiration or termination of this Lease, must be surrendered with the Leased Property as a

part thereof unless Landlord requires that such additions, improvements and fixtures be removed upon such expiration or termination by written notice delivered to Tenant at any time before such expiration or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right (to the extent permitted or required under Section 1.5 above and otherwise in accordance with such Section 1.5) to remove any Gaming Assets constituting trade fixtures. Any damage caused by such removal shall be reasonably repaired by Tenant. Tenant shall remove its equipment and trade fixtures from the Leased Property upon or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease to the extent not otherwise transferred to Landlord pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in such manner as to minimize any negative impact on the Gaming Operations and the guests of the Lease Property and the Hotel. In the event Tenant shall fail to remove any additions, improvements and fixtures that are required to be removed hereunder or to remove any personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant within thirty (30) calendar days of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord may treat such failure as a holdover under Section 3.5, and, in addition, Tenant may at any time thereafter, subject to the Nevada Gaming Laws, at Tenant’s cost and expense, remove all of such additions, improvements, fixtures, equipment, property and trade fixtures not so removed and reasonably repair all damage to the Leased Property resulting from such removal, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord.

7.5 Redelivery of Leased Property. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall redeliver the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all of Tenant’s improvements and any Capital Improvements to the extent required to be left upon the Leased Property pursuant to Section 7.4, to Landlord generally in the same condition as it existed at the commencement of the Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Upon such expiration or earlier termination, Tenant shall, and it shall be Tenant’s sole obligation to, comply with all Nevada Gaming Laws and directives of the Nevada Gaming Authorities with respect to the termination of Gaming Operations or the Gaming Approvals at the Leased Property.

7.6 WARN Act Notices. Landlord currently contemplates that, upon the expiration of the Term, it may complete an extensive renovation of the Hotel. Should such renovations result in significant adjustments to the Hotel’s workforce, Tenant and Landlord must each comply with the Worker’s Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq. (collectively with any implementing rules and regulations, the “WARN Act”) as to its respective employees, in connection with the expiration of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with such expiration, Tenant must, with respect to its employees, send the notices that are required under the WARN Act in connection with a “mass layoff” or “employment loss”, as those terms are defined under the WARN Act, unless Landlord sends notice that no “mass layoff” or “employment loss” is contemplated in connection with the expiration of the Term at least ninety (90) days prior to such expiration. Tenant and Landlord will each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the other’s WARN Act compliance efforts. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Landlord must reimburse Tenant for any amounts Tenant pays Tenant’s employees who are subject to the WARN Act for “labor costs”, as such term is defined under the WARN Act, until the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) until Tenant has satisfied all of Tenant’s requirements under the WARN Act.

9.6 Payment of Premiums. The parties shall pay all premiums for each policy of insurance required by this Article IX to be maintained by it when due and shall forward a

certificate of insurance evidencing the aforesaid coverage together with all appropriate endorsements and riders showing the other party as an additional insured therein, as applicable.

9.7 Hazardous Activities. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Leased Property to be occupied or used in a manner which will materially increase the rates of any insurance for the Hotel or Leased Property or the overall development within which the Hotel is situated or that will make void or voidable any insurance then in force with respect to the Leased Property or the overall development within which the Hotel is situated, or which will make it impossible to obtain fire or other insurance with respect to the Leased Property or the overall development within which the Hotel is situated. If Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.7, then, in addition to Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any increases in insurance premium charged to Landlord as a result of Tenant’s non-compliance with this Section 9.7.

9.8 No Prohibited Activity. Tenant agrees that it will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Leased Property any article or permit any activity which may be prohibited by any standard form of insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay at its sole cost and expense any increase in premiums for insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the overall development in which the Hotel is situated, resulting from the type of operations of, or merchandise sold, or services rendered by Tenant or any of its activities in or about the Leased Property, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same.

9.9 Release. Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that with respect to any loss which is covered or required hereunder to be covered by any property (including without limitation the property insurance component of the insurance described in Section 9.2(f)), boiler and machinery, loss of rents or business income insurance then being carried or required to be carried by them respectively, the party hereto carrying or required to carry such insurance and suffering said loss hereby releases the other and the agents and employees of the other of and from any and all Claims with respect to such loss only to the extent that such loss is covered or required to be covered by the proceeds paid by the releasing party’s insurance, including Claims with respect to the negligence of the parties hereto or of their agents or employees; and Landlord and Tenant further mutually agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against the other party hereto or the agents or employees of such other party on account of any such loss, only to the extent that such loss is covered or required to be covered by the proceeds paid by the releasing party’s insurance and only to the extent such waiver does not invalidate coverage under the covered party’s applicable insurance policies. For purposes of the foregoing releases, any deductibles, self-insurance and co-insurance maintained by the releasing party will be treated as paid to the releasing party by the releasing party’s insurance.

ARTICLE X

All of Landlord’s remedies provided herein or at law or in equity are cumulative with and non-exclusive of each other.

13.3 Waiver. It is covenanted and agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions.

13.4 Default of Landlord. Landlord shall be in default under this Lease in the event Landlord fails to fund the Working Capital Account pursuant to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreement or to fund the Working Capital Loan pursuant to the terms of this Lease

Without limiting the foregoing, in no event may Tenant transfer this Lease or any interest in the Leased Property to any Person (an “Assignee”) that does not have all Approvals necessary for such Assignee’s performance of its respective obligations hereunder. No assignment, sublease or transfer shall release Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease or be construed as, or constitute a waiver of, any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other Person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this Lease or consent to the assignment, sublease or transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Absent a written agreement to the contrary which is executed by Landlord, no assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of this Lease or sublease or license of the Leased Property or any portion thereof by Tenant shall act as or effect a release of Tenant from any of the agreements, obligations and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant hereunder.

16.2 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation hereof, or the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to any provision contained herein, shall not work a merger, but at the option of Landlord, shall either terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all such subleases or subtenancies as determined by Landlord, exercisable in Landlord’s sole discretion.

16.3 No Passage by Law. It is understood and agreed that neither this Lease nor any interest herein or hereunder, nor any estate hereby created in favor of Tenant, shall pass by operation of law under any state or federal insolvency, bankruptcy or inheritance act, or any similar Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, heir, legatee, devisee, or any other Person whomsoever without the express prior written consent of Landlord, exercisable in Landlord’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE XVII
RIGHT OF ACCESS

17.1 Right of Entry. Subject to Nevada Gaming Laws, Landlord and its authorized agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter the Leased Property at any reasonable time for the purpose of (a) observing, posting or keeping posted thereon notices provided for hereunder, and such other notices as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate for protection of Landlord, its interest or the Leased Property, (b) inspecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (c) inspecting the Leased Property relative to concerns over use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, and (d) making repairs to the Leased Property or any other portion of the Hotel and performing any work therein or thereon which Landlord may elect or be required to make hereunder, including, without limitation, Landlord’s maintenance and repairs, or which may be necessary to comply with any Applicable Laws or any applicable standards that may, from time to time, be established by an insurer, or which Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate to prevent waste, loss, damage or deterioration to or in connection with the Leased Property or any other portion of the Hotel or for any lawful purpose. In no event shall Landlord have access to any area for which access is restricted in accordance with Nevada Gaming Laws, except pursuant to such laws. Except in emergency situations, Landlord shall give Tenant at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of entry. Landlord shall have the right to use any means which Landlord may deem proper to open all doors in the Leased Property in an emergency. Entry into the Leased Property obtained by Landlord by any such means shall not be deemed to be forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Property, or an eviction of Tenant from the Leased Property or any portion thereof or otherwise subject Landlord to any liability in connection therewith (and Tenant hereby waives any Claims against Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors arising in connection therewith). Nothing contained herein shall impose or be deemed to impose any duty on the part of Landlord to do any work or repair, maintenance, reconstruction or restoration, which under any provision of this Lease is required to be done by Tenant, and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default in Tenant’s failure to do the same.

deliver at any time, and from time to time, upon ten (10) calendar days written demand from Landlord, such documents as may be reasonably requested to evidence and confirm such subordination (but no such document shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination), and in the event that Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to execute and deliver any such documents to be executed by it within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written request by Landlord, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, the attorney-in-fact of Tenant irrevocably to execute and deliver any and all such documents for and on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of this Lease, such subordination is and shall be subject to the condition that the mortgagee or beneficiary named in such mortgage or deed of trust shall recognize this Lease and shall not disturb the possession of Tenant except as expressly provided herein.

Neither Tenant nor any of the partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, members, venturers, shareholders or affiliated entities of Tenant shall be personally liable for any judgment recovered by Landlord against Tenant except to the extent of their fraudulent acts or omissions.

20.19 Brokerage. Tenant and Landlord each warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with this Lease. Tenant and Landlord covenant and agree to pay, hold harmless and indemnify the other from and against any and all Claims for any compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any broker or agent alleging to have dealt with the indemnifying party with respect to this Lease or the negotiation hereof (including, without limitation, the cost of legal fees in connection therewith).

20.20 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any payment of Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or available at law or in equity. Any check purporting to be an accord and satisfaction must be delivered to the address to which notices are to be sent hereunder (with copies to the addresses to which copies of such notices are to be sent) and not to the address for payments.

20.21 Landlord’s Right To Install Items in the Leased Property. Landlord reserves the right to install, repair, replace and remove (without regard to whether they were placed there before or after the Commencement Date) within and upon the Leased Property such directories, signs, advertising, fixtures, furnishings, displays, equipment, kiosks, booths, stands and similar items as Landlord elects in its sole, absolute and subjective discretion. Tenant will have no Claim as a result of any such installation, repair, replacement or removal, whether for interference with quiet enjoyment, constructive eviction or otherwise and will not be entitled to any rent abatement as a result thereof. However, in connection with any such installation, Landlord must use good faith efforts to minimize any adverse impact on the operation of the Leased Property that results therefrom.

20.22 Confidentiality. Tenant shall not release any public announcement or press release concerning this Lease or the terms hereof without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, except as may be required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation. In the course of conducting the Gaming Operations and operating the Leased Property, Landlord or Tenant may be exposed to trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information and materials of each other including, but not limited to, information about or identities of customers or guests of Landlord, Tenant or the Hotel (including, without limitation, information relating to the Slot Club or the members or former members thereof) (collectively, “guest information”), gaming information, Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”), guest satisfaction surveys, and studies, management guidelines, procedures, operating manuals and software (“Confidential Information”). Landlord or Tenant agree to hold in confidence and not to disclose any Confidential Information of any other party to this Lease to a third-party during, and for two (2) years after, the term of this Lease or, with respect to guest information only, at anytime after the term of this Lease, except that Landlord or Tenant may use or disclose Confidential Information (a) to each’s employees or others to the extent necessary to render any service contemplated hereunder; (b) to the extent

expressly authorized in writing by the party to whom such information belongs; (c) to the extent that at the time of disclosure, such Confidential Information is in the public domain, or after disclosure, enters the public domain other than by breach of the terms of this Lease; (d) is in the possession of a party at the time of disclosure and is not acquired directly or indirectly from the party to whom such information belongs; (e) is subsequently received on a non-confidential basis from a third party having a right to provide such information; or (f) as required by order during the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as required by a governmental authority, provided the non-disclosing party is given adequate notice of and an opportunity to oppose such order or requirement. Landlord or Tenant agree not to photocopy or otherwise duplicate any Confidential Information of another party without the express written consent of such other party. The Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable and shall, to the extent in another party’s possession, be returned to the party to whom such information belongs upon termination or expiration of this Lease. For purposes of this Section 20.22 and notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, all Confidential Information gained or acquired by Tenant during the Term of this Lease in connection with Tenant’s or Landlord’s operations at the Hotel will be the exclusive property of Landlord during and after the Term of this Lease (but subject to Tenant’s right to use such Confidential Information in accordance with this Lease during but not after the Term) and must be returned or delivered to Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, all copies of any guest information, whether electronic, paper or otherwise, that are in Tenant’s possession (or in the possession of any person under the control of or under common control with Tenant) must be returned to Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the termination of this Lease or the expiration of the Term, Tenant may continue using their own SOPs and may continue to observe policies and procedures that were implemented and observed by Tenant prior to such termination, so long as such SOPs, policies and procedures are not disclosed publicly. In the event of any breach of this provision, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall be entitled to equitable relief, in addition to all other remedies otherwise available at law. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

22.23 Nonrecourse Intention of the Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Leased Property be operated by Tenant using funds from the Gaming Operations or Landlord, as provided herein, and at the expense of Landlord, except as specifically provided herein, and without recourse to Tenant except as to the obligations of Tenant specifically set forth herein.

20.24 Force Majeure. Landlord or Tenant will be excused for the period of delay in the performance of any of their respective obligations hereunder, except their respective obligations to pay any sums of money due under the terms of this Lease, and shall not be considered in default, when prevented from so performing by any labor disputes, business downturns (including shortage of available labor) caused by renovations of the Hotel, order of governmental authorities not caused by Tenant, civil commotion, war, fire or other casualty, changes (after the date of this Lease) in governmental regulations, statutes, ordinances, restrictions or decrees, acts

of God or any circumstance that was beyond the reasonable control of the party claiming that a force majeure event has occurred (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”).

ARTICLE XXI
WORKING CAPITAL LOAN

On the Commencement Date, and subject to all required Gaming Approvals, Landlord will make a working capital loan to Tenant in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Cage Cash as of the Cut-Off Time plus (b) One Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Working Capital Loan”). Subject to Applicable Law, Tenant must use any proceeds received from the Working Capital Loan for Tenant Expenses. Tenant may not use the proceeds of the Working Capital Loan for payment of Excluded Expenses. The Working Capital Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Working Capital Note”), bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Working Capital Note Rate”) with monthly payments in arrears on the last day of each calendar month of interest only at the Working Capital Note Rate on the average daily principal balance of the Working Capital Note for such month. Such payments shall be made from available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent, the Priority Payment, and the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) for the prior month. If available Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent, the Priority Payment, and the amounts owed under Sections 4.3(a) and (b) in any particular month is inadequate to make such payment on the interest due under the Working Capital Note, Tenant must use any amounts that have been deposited in any reserve account established under the terms of this Lease to make such payments, and if such reserve accounts are also inadequate to make such payment, then Tenant’s failure to pay the amount specified above shall not be a default under this Lease or the Working Capital Note, so long as Tenant pays the amount that is available from Net Cash Flow from the Gaming Operations after the payment of Base Rent, the Priority Payment, the amounts owed under Sections 4.3(a) and (b) and the amount existing in any reserve accounts. The remaining unpaid balance of the payment will be carried forward (the “Working Capital Note Carry Forward Balance”) and shall be due on the due date for the next installment thereunder on which and to the extent there is sufficient Net Cash Flow to pay both the regularly scheduled payment and to pay all or any part (to the extent of available Net Cash Flow) of the Working Capital Note Carry Forward Balance (together with interest on the Working Capital Note Carry Forward Balance, from the date the applicable payment would have been due but for its being carried forward, at the Working Capital Note Rate).

ARTICLE XXII
CONDITION PRECEDENT

It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Lease and of Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations hereunder that the closing of the transaction contemplated in the Purchase

Agreement (the “Closing”) occur when provided under the Purchase Agreement (the “Outside Closing Date”). If the Closing has not occurred by the Outside Closing Date for any reason (including, without limitation, Landlord’s decision not to go forward with the transaction contemplated in the Purchase Agreement) or if the Purchase Agreement is terminated and Landlord has informed Tenant that no further negotiations to re-instate the Purchase Agreement are contemplated, then either party may terminate this Lease upon written notice provided to the other party at any time after the Outside Closing Date or on the date of Landlord’s notice, as applicable, and prior to the Closing and, thereupon, neither party will have any further obligations hereunder.

Escrow Agreement

ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT dated as of , 200 (this “Agreement”), by and among 155 East Tropicana, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,(“Seller”), Hedwigs Las Vegas Top Tier, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and, First American Title Insurance Company , a national banking association (“Escrow Agent”).

Purchaser and Seller have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser will acquire from Seller certain of Seller’s assets.

The parties contemplate the establishment of an escrow arrangement to provide for the holding and later distribution of the Deposit, as provided for herein.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. ESTABLISHMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF ESCROW.

1.1 Deposit. If and when required by Section 4.21 of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent $2,000,000 in cash (the “Initial Deposit”). From time to time thereafter, Purchaser may make additional cash deliveries to the Escrow Agent as provided in the Purchase Agreement (“Supplemental Deposits”). The Initial Deposit and any and all Supplemental Deposits are herein referred to, collectively, as the “Deposit”). The Deposit, as constituted from time to time, shall be held in escrow in accordance with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall place the Deposit in a segregated account (the “Escrow Account”). The Deposit shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto. The Escrow Agent agrees to accept delivery of the Deposit and to hold the Deposit in the Escrow Account, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.2 Appointment. Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as agent for the purpose of holding and distributing the Deposit upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent accepts such appointment subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.3 Permitted Investments. So long as the Deposit is held by the Escrow Agent, such funds shall be invested by the Escrow Agent in the permitted investments listed on Exhibit A in accordance with instructions delivered in writing to the Escrow Agent by Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall send periodic statements in reasonable detail to Purchaser and Seller of the value, by investment, of the Deposit, and of all transactions affecting the amounts in the Escrow Account.

1.4 Interest and Dividends. The Deposit shall be increased from time to time by any and all interest and dividends accrued and paid thereon from the time or times of deposit in the Escrow Account (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with the investment,

reinvestment or sale thereof) pursuant to this Section 1, all of which shall be held in the Escrow Account and be considered part of the Deposit.

2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPOSIT.

2.1 Closing. In the event of Closing and at such time as Purchaser and Seller deliver to Escrow Agent joint written instructions to that effect, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Seller the Deposit plus the interest and investment income deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1 attributable to the Deposit.

2.2 Termination. Except as provided in Section 2.4, in the event the Purchase Agreement is terminated and Purchaser and Seller deliver to Escrow Agent joint written instructions to that effect, Escrow Agent shall promptly (a) deliver to Seller that portion of the Deposit not included in clause (b) of this Section 2.3 and (b) deliver to Purchaser all interest and investment income deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1 attributable to the Deposit.

2.3 Termination Upon Major Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.2, if, at the time of termination of the Purchase Agreement, there exists a Major Breach and Purchaser and Seller deliver to Escrow Agent joint written instructions to that effect, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit to Purchaser. For the purpose of this Section 2.3, a Major Breach is a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement in the Asset Purchase Agreement if, but only if, as a result of such breach, either (i) Purchaser would not upon Closing, obtain title to substantially all of the Purchased Assets or (ii) the value of the Purchased Assets less the cost of all Assumed Liabilities would be reduced by $5 million or more.

2.4 Disagreement as to Existence of Major Breach. If Purchaser and Seller do not agree on whether a Major Breach exists, the matter shall be referred to an independent arbitrator selected by the parties (or if the parties cannot agree on an independent arbitrator, by a Las Vegas Court to which either party may apply for that purpose) and the decision of such arbitrator shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller and Purchaser and Seller agree that the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely on the determination of the arbitrator with respect to the existence or lack thereof of a Major Breach. The cost of any such arbitrator shall be borne by the party whose position is not upheld by the arbitrator.

2.5 Action of Escrow Agent in the Event of an Objection or Dispute. In the event of conflicting instructions from Seller and Purchaser under Section 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement, or of an objection by one party to the instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the other party, Escrow Agent shall promptly notify Purchaser and Seller of such conflicting instructions and provide complete copies thereof to Purchaser and Seller. The Escrow Agent shall make no distribution of any of the Deposit unless and until Escrow Agent receives a letter executed jointly by Purchaser and Seller setting forth instructions as to such disposition or distribution, in which case Escrow Agent shall then promptly act in accordance with such letter of instructions.

3. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate on the final distribution and release of the last of the Deposit held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

4. INDEMNITY; PERFORMANCE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT.

4.1 Exculpation of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent (i) shall not be responsible for performance of any obligations under any of the other agreements referred to hereby, including the Purchase Agreement, but shall only be obligated for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement; (ii) shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might in its reasonable judgment involve any expense or liability on its part unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification; (iii) shall be entitled to rely on any document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons or on other evidence or information deemed by it to be reliable and shall have no responsibility for determining the accuracy thereof; (iv) shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the undertakings of any other party hereto or to any notice or undertakings of anyone not a party hereto; and (v) may consult counsel reasonably satisfactory to it, including in-house counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

4.2 Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents appointed and acting in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Escrow Indemnified Parties”) against all claims, losses, damages, costs, penalties, fines and reasonable expenses (including reasonable expenses of the Escrow Agent’s legal counsel) which may be paid, incurred or suffered by any Escrow Indemnified Party by reason of or as a result or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s execution of, and performance of, its duties set forth in this Agreement, or any written instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent by the parties pursuant hereto, except to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, cost, penalty, fine or expense results from fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of such Escrow Indemnified Party. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages. In no case shall Purchaser or Seller be liable under this indemnity for any claim against any of the Escrow Indemnified Parties unless Purchaser and Seller shall be notified by the Escrow Agent of the written assertion of a claim or of any action commenced against the Escrow Indemnified Parties, promptly after a Responsible Officer (as defined below) of the Escrow Agent shall have received any such written assertion of a claim or shall have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim. As used herein, “Responsible Officer” shall mean an officer of the Escrow Agent assigned to and working in its [Corporate Trust Department]. Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defense and, if Purchaser and Seller so elect at any time after receipt of such notice, Purchaser and Seller may assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. The Escrow Agent shall have the right but shall be under no obligation to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defense thereof. As between Purchaser and Seller, to the extent that there is any liability for obligations to the Escrow Agent under this paragraph, Purchaser and Seller may apportion such liabilities as agreed by Purchaser and Seller.
