Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant paid the partial month’s installment of Base Rent (with respect to the remaining days of the month in which the Commencement Date occurred) upon the Commencement Date of this Lease. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent on or before the date when due hereunder, Tenant shall owe Landlord, in addition to the installment of Base Rent, interest on such installment at the Default Rate and, if and to the extent the same is due and payable by Landlord under the Mortgage Loan Documents, a late payment charge. Landlord shall have the right to change the payment date of the monthly installments of Base Rent, provided that in doing so, Landlord shall not increase Tenant’s costs hereunder (other than the direct costs of implementing such change, such as legal fees, which Tenant hereby agrees to pay).

(b) As used herein the term “Lease Year” means a period of twelve (12) calendar months commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date (if the Commencement Date occurs on the first (1st) day of a month) or the last day of the month during which the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs (if the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first (1st) day of a month), and each successive twelve (12) month period thereafter during the Term until the Expiration Date.

5.1.22(u) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, such Subject Fees will be included in the determination of Management Fees as used in the foregoing sentence and will reduce the Base Rent in such month so long as such Subject Fees are deposited by Tenant into the Blocked Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (and which shall be applied subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement).

Landlord shall have the right to require that reserves be established for the foregoing amounts if and when required by any Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of the amounts of each such escrow, reserve and other requirement on the Closing Date and at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of any change in any such amounts together with copies of any relevant notice from the Mortgagee and the relevant Mortgage Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay an amount (of which Landlord will advise Tenant in advance) with respect to such escrows, reserves and other requirements attributable to the period, if any, beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the month during which the Commencement Date occurs.

The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Landlord (or Mortgagee on behalf of Landlord) to the payment of the Operating Lease Rent in such priority and proportions as Landlord (or Mortgagee on behalf of Landlord) in its discretion shall deem proper.

ARTICLE III

IMPOSITIONS

Section 3.1 From and after the Commencement Date and throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay and discharge not later than ten (10) days before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the non-payment thereof, all taxes, assessments, water rents, storm and sewer rents and charges, duties, impositions, license and permit fees, assessments payable to any owner’s association or similar entity, governmental levies and charges, charges for public utilities of any kind (together with any interest or penalties imposed upon the late payment thereof), which, pursuant to past, present or future Legal Requirements, during, prior to or after (but attributable to a period falling prior to or within) the Term, shall have been or shall be levied, charged, assessed, imposed upon or grow or become due and payable out of or for or have become a Lien on the Premises or any part thereof, any Buildings (including the related Fixtures), the FF&E or any personal property (including, without limitation, any Leased Personal Property) in or on the Premises, the Gaming Equipment, the Operating Lease Rents or income payable by Tenant or on account of any use of the Premises or such franchises as may be appurtenant to the use and occupation of the Premises, as well as any sales, use, excise, commercial rent, tangible personal property and similar taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority or improvement district in connection with the use or operation by Tenant of any of the Premises, the Fixtures, the FF&E and the Leased Personal Property, and the Gaming Equipment, and any interest and penalties assessed in connection therewith as a result of late payment or non-payment of any of the foregoing or late filing or non-filing of any tax returns or reports due in connection therewith (each of the foregoing being an “Imposition” and collectively “Impositions”). Tenant, upon request from Landlord or Mortgagee, shall submit to Landlord or Mortgagee the proper and sufficient receipts or other evidence of payment and discharge of the same. The certificate, advice, or xxxx of non-payment of any Imposition from the appropriate official designated by Legal Requirement to make or issue the same or to receive payment of any Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and unpaid at the time of the making or issuance of such certificate, advice, or xxxx of non-payment. If any Impositions are not paid when due under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay the same following written notice to Tenant of such payment, provided Tenant does not contest the same as herein provided. If Landlord shall make such payment, Landlord shall thereupon be entitled to repayment by Tenant on demand as Other Rent hereunder. [Tenant agrees that to the extent any Imposition, or other operating or capital cost or expense hereunder, shall not be separately assessed against or chargeable to the Premises, but rather is assessed or properly chargeable to all of the Land and/or Improvements of which the Premises are part, or to the Premises (or to a portion thereof) and another portion of the Land and Improvements, then Tenant shall pay its allocable share of such Impositions and/or other capital cost or expense, all as determined by Landlord and Mortgagee, which determination (absent manifest error) shall be binding on Tenant.]

Section 3.2 Tenant shall have the right to protest and contest any Impositions imposed against the Premises or any part thereof. If Tenant so elects to contest, Tenant shall, prior to the prosecution or defense of any such claim, notify Landlord in writing of its decision to pursue such contest and, to the extent procedurally required, or to prevent jeopardizing any license, permit or certification, including, without limitation, any Gaming License, because of

nonpayment thereof, Tenant shall pay the amount in question prior to initiating the contest. Tenant’s right to contest is conditioned upon the following: (i) such contest is done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; (ii) nonpayment will not subject the Premises nor any part thereof or interest therein to be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iii) such contest shall not subject Landlord or any Mortgagee to the risk of any criminal or civil liability; (iv) Tenant shall provide such security as may reasonably be required by Landlord or by Mortgagee under the terms of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan Documents to ensure payment of such contested Impositions, together with all interest and penalties thereon; (v) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (vi) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any applicable material other instrument to which Tenant is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Legal Requirements; (vii) such contest is permitted under the Mortgage or Mortgage Loan Documents in which case Tenant shall contest such Imposition in accordance with the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Documents; (viii) Tenant shall promptly upon receipt of a final, non-appealable determination thereof pay the amount of any such Imposition, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; and (ix) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Imposition from the Premises. Landlord agrees to execute and deliver to Tenant any and all documents reasonably required for such purpose and to cooperate with Tenant in every reasonable respect in such contest, but without any cost or expense to Landlord. If Landlord should actually receive proceeds of any such contest to the extent Tenant had paid in advance the amount in question, Landlord shall remit the same to Tenant. At the request of Landlord, or at Tenant’s own initiative, Tenant may elect to take commercially reasonable steps to file and enforce tax certiorari proceedings to reduce tax affecting the Premises, all at Tenant’s own expense; provided, however, that if Tenant shall decline to take such steps after a request by Landlord, Landlord may take such steps at Landlord’s own expense.

Section 3.3 To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant shall have the right to apply for the conversion of any Impositions to make the same payable in annual installments on a straight-line basis (or more accelerated) over a period of years (without significant incremental cost), and upon such conversion Tenant shall pay and discharge said annual installments as they shall become due and payable but in any event before delinquency. Tenant shall pay all such deferred installments, and any additional amounts required in connection therewith, when the same are due and payable, and in any event prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, notwithstanding that such installments shall not then be due and payable; provided, however, that any Impositions (excluding any Imposition converted by Tenant so as to be payable in annual installments as aforesaid) relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority, a part of which is included in a period of time after the Expiration Date, shall (whether or not such Impositions shall be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed or become payable, during the Term) be prorated between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date, so that Landlord shall pay that portion of such Impositions which relate to that part of such fiscal period included in the period of time after the Expiration Date, and Tenant shall pay the remainder thereof.

Section 3.4 Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any franchise, excise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession or capital levy or tax of Landlord or any income, profits or revenue tax upon the income of Landlord.

Section 3.5 In the event that Landlord is required pursuant to the terms of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan Documents to make monthly or other deposits for Impositions to the Mortgagee, Tenant agrees that, within ten (10) days after the first written demand made by Landlord, it shall: (i) deposit with Landlord or Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after the first demand therefor and thereafter, on the first day of each month, during the Term, an amount each month estimated by Landlord or Mortgagee to be adequate to create a fund which, as each succeeding installment of Impositions becomes due, will be sufficient, thirty (30) days prior to such due date, to pay such installment in full. Landlord or Mortgagee shall use reasonable efforts to cause the monthly deposits to be equal in amount, but neither of them shall be liable in the event that such required deposits are unequal. If at any time the amount of any Imposition is increased or Landlord or Mortgagee believes that it will be, said monthly deposits shall be increased within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand by Landlord or Mortgagee so that, thirty (30) days prior to the due date for each installment of Impositions, there will be deposits on hand with Landlord or Mortgagee sufficient to pay such installments in full. Landlord shall be required to deposit or cause to be deposited any such amounts in an interest bearing account or an account in which such amounts are invested in “Permitted Investments”, as defined in the Mortgage Loan Documents, and any interest or earnings thereon shall be for the benefit of Tenant. For the purpose of determining whether Landlord or Mortgagee has on hand sufficient moneys to pay any particular Imposition at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date therefor, deposits for each category of Imposition shall be treated separately, it being the intention that Landlord shall not be obligated to use moneys deposited for the payment of an item not yet due and payable to the payment of an item that is due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Landlord or Mortgagee, may, if an Event of Default hereunder or under the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, use deposits made for any one item for the payment of the same or any other item of Operating Lease Rent. If this Lease shall be terminated by reason of any Event of Default, all deposits then held by Landlord shall be applied by Landlord on account of any and all sums due under this Lease; if there is a resulting deficiency, Tenant shall pay the same, and if there is a surplus, Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of the surplus. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5, all provisions contained in the Mortgage or the other Mortgage Loan Documents with regard to tax escrows and reserves shall be deemed to be obligations of Tenant, and shall take precedence over and be in lieu of any inconsistent provision in this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6 If Landlord ceases to have any interest in the Premises, Landlord shall transfer to the Person who owns or acquires such interest in the Premises from Landlord and is the transferee of this Lease, the deposits made pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof relating to the Premises covered by this Lease, subject, however, to the provisions thereof. Upon such transfer of the Premises and the deposits, the transferor shall be deemed to be released from all liability with respect thereto and Tenant agrees to look to the transferee solely with respect thereto, and the provisions hereof shall apply to each successive transfer of the said deposits.

Section 3.7 The provisions of this Article III shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE IV

USE AND OPERATION OF PREMISES; DELEGATION TO MANAGER;

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; TRANSITION SERVICES; MANAGEMENT

Section 4.1 The Premises may be used and occupied only for the purposes set forth in Article A, Section 4. Tenant shall not create or suffer to exist any material public or private nuisance, hazardous or illegal condition or waste on or with respect to the Premises. For purposes of this Article IV, “waste” as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, loss of any material Gaming License unless same is no longer required or is adequately replaced. This Article IV shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to, and may at its election, delegate some or all of its rights in connection with the management and operation of the Premises under this Lease to Manager or an Alternate Manager; provided, that (i) no such delegation shall relieve Tenant of any responsibility or obligation to Landlord hereunder and (ii) Tenant shall cause Manager or any Alternate Manager to operate and maintain the Premises in accordance with the requirements and restrictions to which Tenant is subject hereunder (including Sections 20.1 and 20.10) and at the standards and otherwise in the manner set forth in the Management Agreement.

Section 4.3 In no event shall Landlord or Tenant amend, modify, supplement or waive (or consent to, acquiesce in or permit any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of) any right under or other provision of the Management Agreement without the prior written approval of Mortgagee and each Mezzanine Lender. In no event shall Landlord or Tenant consent to or acquiesce in an assignment by Manager of its rights, obligations or duties under the Management Agreement without the prior written approval of Mortgagee and each Mezzanine Lender (unless such assignment by Manager is permitted in the Management Agreement without the prior written approval of Mortgagee or the Mezzanine Lenders). Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall permit, consent to or acquiesce in any cancellation, termination or surrender of the Management Agreement without the prior written approval of Mortgagee and each Mezzanine Lender.

Section 4.4 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Manager shall fail to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement (or if the Management Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the termination of this Lease), Tenant agrees that it shall perform all of the duties and obligations of Manager under and pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement (including performing Diligence Activities and providing Transition Services) as though the Management Agreement were still in effect, provided, however, that, in such case, Tenant (rather than Manager) shall be entitled to the payment (whether by Landlord (or its successors and assigns) or from monies in the Collection Account) of the fees and expenses that would have been paid to Manager in the amounts and in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant hereby confirms that (i) if Manager shall fail for any reason to perform the Diligence Activities, following the occurrence of any Mortgage Loan Default (as defined in the Management Agreement), Tenant will undertake to perform (and thereafter perform) the Diligence Activities and (ii) if Manager shall fail for any reason to provide the Transition Services, following the Transition Period

Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement), then Tenant shall provide such services for the Transition Period. For the avoidance of doubt, during the pendency of the Transition Period and/or during any period in which this Lease is in effect but the Management Agreement is terminated for any reason, (i) the Operating Fees, Reimbursable Expenses and other amounts payable to Manager under the Management Agreement (provided that during the Transition Period the duties and obligations of Manager, including the Transition Services, are being performed by Tenant, rather than Manager, hereunder) shall continue to be paid (as though the Management Agreement were still in effect) but to Tenant, rather than Manager, (ii) the charges for shared services payable to HOC shall continue to be paid pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, and (iii) this Lease shall not terminate during the Transition Period.

Section 4.5 Tenant confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding its entering into the Management Agreement, it will continue to own and/or lease all Gaming Equipment and other assets required to operate the Premises (and will not transfer or assign any Gaming Equipment or such other assets to Manager).

ARTICLE V

CONDITION OF PREMISES, ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS

Section 5.1 The parties acknowledge that Tenant has examined the Premises, is familiar with the physical condition, expenses, operation and maintenance, zoning, Legal Requirements, status of title and use that may be made of the Premises and every other matter or thing affecting or related to the Premises, and is leasing the same in its “As Is” condition. Landlord has not made and does not make any representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the Premises or otherwise with respect to this Lease, express or implied, including any warranty regarding the suitability of the Premises for their intended commercial purposes or that the same is in compliance, as of the date hereof or at any subsequent time, with Legal Requirements. Tenant assumes all risks resulting from any defects (patent or latent) in the Premises or from any failure of the same to comply with any Legal Requirement or the uses or purposes for which the same may be occupied.

Section 5.2 At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, whether or not Tenant is in occupancy of all of the Buildings, Tenant shall maintain and keep all of the Buildings on the Premises (including, without limitation, the FF&E and Equipment), and the Gaming Equipment, and the adjoining sidewalks, curbs and common areas, if any, clean and in substantially the same level of condition and repair as on the Closing Date in all material respects, except for ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, repair and replace all of the FF&E, and all Gaming Equipment, necessary or appropriate for the use, operation, maintenance and repair of the Premises in the manner required hereunder. Tenant shall cause any replacements of, and additions or improvements to, FF&E immediately to be acquired in the name, and as the property, of Landlord (as owner and not as a secured party), subject only to Tenant’s rights hereunder as lessee thereof. All repairs made by Tenant shall be made in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to maintain or make any repairs or alterations to the Premises, and Tenant hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, replacement,

maintenance and management of the Premises and all costs and expenses incidental thereto, including adequate security for each of the Buildings, whether or not Tenant is then occupying each of the Buildings. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, replace and maintain the roof in good condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing standards of maintaining the Premises, if any Legal Requirement or the Mortgage Loan Agreement mandates a higher standard, then Tenant shall be obligated to cause the Premises to comply with such higher standard.

Section 5.3 Landlord shall not be responsible for the cost of any alterations or replacements of or maintenance or repairs to the Premises of any nature whatsoever, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, whether or not now in the contemplation of the parties. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights now or hereafter conferred by any Legal Requirements or otherwise which would have the effect of limiting or modifying any of the provisions of this Article V.

Section 5.4 Tenant shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to make, at its sole cost and expense, changes, alterations, additions or improvements (collectively, “Alterations”) in or to the Premises, subject, however, in the case of any Material Alteration, to the prior written consent of Landlord and such oversight and insurance requirements as Landlord shall reasonably require. In addition, Tenant shall comply with any requirements specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents for the performance of Alterations and Work (including provision of a completion guaranty or other collateral to the extent required thereunder and the submission of plans to Mortgagee to the extent required thereunder). Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, without Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in no event shall Tenant close or shutter, or undertake or permit any Tenant or other Person to undertake an Alteration or any Work, that alone or together with other Alterations or Work then being undertaken, that closes or shutters, at any one time, more than ten percent (10%) of the income-generating space of the Premises.

Section 5.5 Tenant agrees that all Alterations, repairs, Restoration and other work which Tenant shall be required or permitted to do under the provisions of this Lease (each hereinafter called the “Work”) shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and (i) performed in a good, workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all Legal Requirements, as well as any plans and specifications therefor which shall have been approved by Landlord (if such approval is required hereunder), and (ii) commenced and completed reasonably promptly.

Section 5.6 Following the delivery of prior reasonable notice, any material Work shall be subject to inspection at reasonable times during normal business hours and without disruption to the business of Tenant, by Landlord, its architect and Mortgagee (to the extent Mortgagee has such right under the Mortgage Loan Documents), or their duly authorized representatives, and if Landlord’s architect or Mortgagee upon any such inspection shall be of the reasonable opinion that the Work is not being performed substantially in accordance with the provisions of this Article V or the plans and specifications, or that any of the materials or workmanship are not of good quality or are unsound or improper, Tenant shall, upon notice of same from Landlord, correct any such failure and shall immediately replace any unsound or improper materials or workmanship.

Section 5.7 All Fixtures, structures and other improvements and all FF&E shall immediately upon their installation or placement on or within the Premises, become the property of Landlord, without the need for any further instrument (but at Landlord’s or Mortgagee’s request, Tenant shall confirm the same from time to time in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party), and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises (unless, in the case of Gaming Equipment, the same was purchased by Tenant, in which event Tenant shall remove such Gaming Equipment from the Premises promptly following such surrender, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, in which case the same shall be held by Landlord as collateral for Tenant’s obligations hereunder). All other property permitted or required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the Term remaining in the Premises after Tenant’s removal shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Landlord, either be retained as Landlord’s property or may be removed from the Premises by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, any damage to the Premises caused in whole or in part by the removal or demolition of any property which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to this Section 5.7 or which Tenant elects under the provisions of this Lease to remove. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

Section 5.8 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall be exclusively responsible at its own expense for determination and assurance that the condition of the Premises and all repairs, Alterations and Work are in compliance with all Legal Requirements or have been waived by the appropriate Governmental Authorities and for obtaining any approvals or consents of Governmental Authorities required in connection with any Alterations or Work.

Section 5.9 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6, all provisions contained in the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Document relating to the obligations of Landlord with regard to Alterations, Work, the Threshold Amount shall be deemed to be obligations of Tenant hereunder and shall take precedence over and be in lieu of any inconsistent provisions in Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE

Section 6.1 Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, provide and keep in force for the benefit of Landlord, Tenant and any Mortgagee, such insurance as shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, it being agreed that such insurance shall in any event comply with the requirements specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents and that all provisions contained in the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to the obligations of Landlord with regard to insurance shall be deemed to be obligations of Tenant hereunder, including with respect to the provision of insurance certificates evidencing any or all of the required insurance coverage.

Section 6.2 If at any time Mortgagee is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance policies required under the Mortgage Loan Documents are in full force and effect, Landlord and Mortgagee shall have the right, without notice to Tenant, to take such action as

Landlord and Mortgagee deems necessary to protect its interest in the Premises, including, without limitation, the obtaining of insurance coverage consistent with the coverage required hereunder. All premiums incurred by Landlord and/or Mortgagee in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and/or Mortgagee (as applicable) upon demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE VII

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

Section 7.1 If the Premises or any Building or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, ordinary or extra-ordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a) Landlord shall pay over to Tenant, upon the terms set forth in Section 7.2, any moneys which may be recovered by Landlord from property insurance, (b) this Lease shall be unaffected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect, and (c) Tenant shall, utilizing such insurance proceeds and such additional funds as may be required, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, expeditiously and in a good and workmanlike manner, cause such damage or destruction to be remedied or repaired (the “Restoration”) by restoring the Premises to substantially the same condition and configuration immediately prior to such damage or destruction. All Restoration work shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.4 and 5.5 hereof. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any Legal Requirement to the contrary and agrees that the provisions of this Article VII shall govern and control in lieu thereof. If Tenant shall fail or neglect to restore the Premises with reasonable diligence, or having so commenced such Restoration, shall fail to complete the same with reasonable diligence, or if prior to the completion of any such Restoration by Tenant, this Lease shall expire or be terminated for any reason, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete such Restoration at Tenant’s cost and expense and the cost thereof shall be payable within five (5) days after written demand as Other Rent, together with interest thereon from the date of demand until paid at the Default Rate. In addition, if Landlord so completes the Restoration as provided hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to a reasonable supervisory fee from Tenant to compensate Landlord for administering the Restoration.

Section 7.2 Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, unless Landlord, the insurance carrier, or any Mortgagee elects in their discretion to perform the Restoration (being under no obligation to do so) and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay over to Tenant from time to time, upon the following terms, any moneys which may be received by Landlord pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents from property insurance provided by Tenant but, in no event, to any extent or in any sum exceeding the amount actually collected by Landlord upon the loss; provided, however, that Landlord, before paying such moneys over to Tenant, shall be entitled to reimburse or pay itself or Mortgagee therefrom to the extent, if any, of (a) the expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or Mortgagee in the collection of such moneys, and (b) any other amounts then outstanding and owing to Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as herein provided, the aforesaid insurance proceeds which may be received by Landlord for the purpose of Restoration to be used by

Tenant to restore the Premises to a value which shall be not less than a value substantially similar to the value of the Premises prior to such fire or other casualty. Prior to making any Restoration, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with an estimate of the cost of such Restoration, prepared by a licensed third party architect or contractor selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. Such insurance moneys shall be paid (i) to Tenant in a lump sum if the cost of such Restoration is less than the Threshold Amount and (ii) if the cost of such Restoration is equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount, in accordance with Section 7.2 and 7.3 to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, directly to the party to whom such payment is due) from time to time thereafter in installments as the Restoration progresses, within five (5) Business Days after submission by Tenant to Landlord showing the cost of labor and material incorporated in the Restoration, or incorporated therein since the last previous submission (assuming such proceeds are available from the insurer). If any vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s, or materialman’s Lien is filed against the Premises or any part thereof, or if any public improvement Lien is created or permitted to be created by Tenant and is filed against Landlord, or any assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any further installment until such Lien is satisfied or otherwise discharged, unless such Lien is contested by Tenant in good faith and, if required by applicable law, Tenant has obtained and delivered a bond issued by a surety, in an amount and in form otherwise satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. The amount of any installment to be paid to Tenant shall be such proportion of the total insurance moneys received by Landlord pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents as the cost of labor and materials theretofore incorporated by Tenant in the Restoration bears to the total estimated cost of the Restoration by Tenant, less (1) all payments theretofore made to Tenant out of said insurance proceeds, and (2) ten percent (10%) of the amount so determined, until fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed (and five percent (5%) thereafter) (the “Retainage”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not withhold the Retainage from any installment provided (I) such installment constitutes the final payment due a contractor or materialman, or (II) the contractor is bonded and Tenant furnishes to Landlord payment and performance bonds and labor and material bonds of Tenant’s contractor complying with the Legal Requirements and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, naming Landlord as co-obligee, in which event Landlord shall withhold from such installment the same percentage withheld by Tenant pursuant to the construction contract. Upon completion of and payment for the Restoration by Tenant, including reimbursement to Tenant of the Retainage or other amount, as applicable, the balance of any and all insurance proceeds held by Landlord shall be paid to Tenant. In the event that the insurance proceeds are insufficient for the purpose of paying for the Restoration, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to make the Restoration and pay any additional sums required for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord makes the Restoration at Tenant’s expense, as provided in Section 7.1 hereof, then Landlord shall use any amounts held by Landlord to pay for the cost of such Restoration.

Section 7.3 The following shall be conditions precedent to each payment made to Tenant (or to any other party) as provided in Section 7.2 above:

(a) there shall be submitted to Landlord the certificate of the aforesaid architect or contractor stating (i) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn either has been paid by Tenant and/or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other Persons (whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or

furnished certain services or materials for the work and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several amounts so paid or due to each of such Persons in respect thereof, and stating in reasonable detail the progress of the work up to the date of said certificate, (ii) that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then pending request, for the withdrawal of insurance money or has been made out of the proceeds of insurance received by Tenant, (iii) that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate, and (iv) that the balance of any insurance proceeds held by Landlord, together with such other sums, if any, which Tenant has made or will (for which evidence of Tenant’s intention and ability shall be to Landlord’s satisfaction in its sole and absolute discretion) make available for the Restoration in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof and to Landlord’s satisfaction (in its sole and absolute discretion) will be sufficient upon completion of the Restoration to pay for the same in full, and stating in reasonable detail an estimate of the cost of such completion;

(b) there shall be furnished to Landlord an official search, or a certificate of a title insurance company satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, showing that there has not been filed any vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s statutory or other similar Lien affecting the Premises or any part thereof, or any public improvement Lien created or permitted to be created by Tenant affecting Landlord, or the assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord, which has not been discharged of record, except such as will be discharged upon payment of the amount then requested to be withdrawn, or unless any such Lien is contested by Tenant in good faith and Tenant has obtained and delivered a bond issued by a surety, in an amount and in form otherwise satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion; and

Section 7.4 If the estimated cost of any Restoration determined as provided in Section 7.2 hereof exceeds the net insurance proceeds, then, prior to the commencement of any Restoration, Tenant hereby covenants to deposit with Landlord, a bond, cash, completion guaranty or other security satisfactory to Landlord (in its sole and absolute discretion) in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, as security for the completion of the work, free of public improvement, vendors’, mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s statutory or other similar Liens.

Section 7.5 As material consideration to Landlord for its agreement to enter into this Lease, the parties agree that this Lease shall not terminate or be forfeited or be affected in any manner, and there shall be no reduction or abatement of the Operating Lease Rent payable hereunder, by reason of damage to or total, substantial or partial destruction of the Premises or any part thereof or by reason of the untenantability of the same or any part thereof, for or due to any damage or destruction of the Premises from any cause whatsoever, and, notwithstanding any Legal Requirements, present or future, Tenant waives any and all rights to quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof on account of any damage or destruction of the Premises. Tenant expressly agrees that its obligations hereunder, including the payment of Operating Lease Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, shall continue as though the Premises had not been damaged or destroyed and without abatement, suspension, diminution or reduction of any kind.

Section 7.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, all provisions contained in the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Document with regard to Restoration of the Premises or the related obligations of Landlord shall take precedence over and be in lieu of any inconsistent provisions in this Article VII and, with respect to such obligations, shall be deemed to be obligations of Tenant hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

CONDEMNATION

Section 8.1 Tenant, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for a Taking, shall notify Landlord and Mortgagee thereof and Landlord and Mortgagee shall be entitled to participate in any Taking proceeding. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee or to Landlord, in that order, any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Taking, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise.

Section 8.2 If the whole of the Premises shall be permanently subject to a Taking, then on the earlier of the date of the vesting of title to the Premises or the date of taking of possession of the Premises (the “Ending Date”), this Lease shall terminate, all Operating Lease Rent required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease shall be pro-rated up to such date, and any and all awards in connection with such condemnation shall be applied (i) first to pay the outstanding amount owed to Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the holder of the Mezzanine Loan under the Mezzanine Loan Documents, (i) second, to Tenant, up to the amount of any and all awards on account of Gaming Equipment, moving expenses and any award or payment on account of the Lease being deemed by the applicable condemning authority to be a below market lease to the economic benefit of Tenant, and (iii) third, any remaining amounts to Landlord. Upon such termination, this Lease shall be of no further force and effect, except that any obligation or liability of either party, actual or contingent, under this Lease which has accrued on or prior to the Ending Date shall survive and any prepayment of Operating Lease Rent shall be prorated between the parties.

Section 8.3 In the event of a permanent partial Taking of one or more of the Building(s), in which the portion of the Premises taken is such that Tenant may continue to operate at the Premises, this Lease shall be unaffected by such Taking, and Tenant shall, continue to pay the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent pursuant to Article II, and the following shall apply:

(a) Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to such Taking without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award;

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Section 8.3 is applicable, Landlord shall pay over to Tenant from time to time any moneys which may be received by Landlord pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents on account of the exercise of the power of eminent domain with respect to the Premises, which (x) are necessary for Tenant to repair and restore such Building(s) such that the remaining portion of the Building(s) may continue to be

operated and (y) represent an award for the loss of Gaming Equipment, moving expenses and interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business; provided, however, that Landlord, before paying such moneys over to Tenant, shall be entitled to reimburse or pay itself therefrom to the extent, if any, of (i) the reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the collection of such moneys, and (ii) any other amounts then outstanding and owing to Landlord under this Lease. Such moneys shall be paid over to Tenant on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII, as if, for this purpose, such moneys were insurance proceeds resulting from casualty to the Premises. Tenant agrees to undertake such Restoration on such terms and subject to such conditions to the extent of the availability of such proceeds and such additional funds as are necessary to complete the Restoration at Tenant’s own cost and expense.

Section 8.4 If only unimproved land shall be the subject of a Taking and Sections 8.2 and 8.3 do not apply, this Lease shall be unaffected by such Taking, and Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent pursuant to Article II, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to such Taking without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award.

Section 8.5 If the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be the subject of a temporary Taking during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award for such temporary Taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises and, if so awarded, for the temporary Taking of Gaming Equipment and for moving expenses, and that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of Restoration of the Premises. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such temporary Taking and Tenant shall be responsible for all obligations hereunder not affected by such temporary Taking and shall continue to pay in full when due the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use or occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period to and including the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much as represents the period subsequent to the Expiration Date and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of Restoration of the Premises. All moneys received by Tenant as, or as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the sums to be paid by Tenant hereunder have been paid by Tenant shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of all sums payable by Tenant hereunder.

Section 8.6 Each party agrees to execute and deliver to each other and to applicable Governmental Authorities all documents and instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII.

Section 8.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, all provisions contained in the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Document with regard to a taking of the Premises or the related obligations of Landlord shall take precedence over and be in lieu of any inconsistent provisions in this Article VIII and, with respect to such obligations, shall be deemed to be obligations of Tenant hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Section 9.1 Tenant shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, mortgage, convey, alienate, sublease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, this Lease, all or any portion of Tenant’s estate or interest in this Lease or the Premises, except as permitted in the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) permit any assignment of this Lease or any estate or interest therein by operation of law, (iii) grant any Sublease, (iv) permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any parties other than Tenant and its guests, (v) mortgage, encumber, pledge, grant a security interest in, collaterally assign or conditionally transfer this Lease or any Leased Personal Property incorporated in or used in connection with the Premises or any part thereof or any Subleases or any of the rents, issues and profits from a Sublease operator or any other commercial sublessee or Tenant’s estate or interest in the Premises or (vi) sell, convey or transfer, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, any capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests, trust units, or any other direct or indirect equity interest in Tenant, in each case if same would result in Tenant no longer being directly or indirectly at least 50% owned and controlled by Qualified Transferees (each of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s prior written consent, except to the extent such Transfer is permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s sole and absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit or restrict Tenant’s right to delegate some or all of its rights in connection with the management or operation of the Premises pursuant to Section 4.2. Landlord and Tenant agree that any transactions whereby Tenant continues to be at least 50% owned and controlled by Holdings (provided there shall have been no Change in Control in Holdings) and/or other Qualified Transferees shall be permitted, provided that immediately prior to such Transfer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Event of Default and subsequent to such Transfer, the beneficial ownership of Landlord and Tenant will be substantially identical. For purposes of this Article IX, the terms “control”, “controls” or “controlled by” shall mean possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or to cause the direction of, the management and policies of any Person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, or partnership, membership or other equity interests, by contract or otherwise. Any attempted Transfer in violation of the terms and covenants of this Section 9.1 shall be void. Further, a Change in Control shall be deemed a Transfer hereunder and, unless clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 5.2.10(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be satisfied, the same shall be prohibited and an Event of Default hereunder (and for the sake of clarity, nothing contained elsewhere in this Article IX or this Lease shall be deemed to limit or qualify the above terms of this sentence).

If Landlord consents in writing to a Transfer, (1) Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for payment of the Operating Lease Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other duties, obligations and covenants under this Lease, (2) Tenant shall give prior written notice of such Transfer to Landlord and each Mortgagee, (3) any transferee of Tenant’s interest under this Lease shall be required to execute and deliver an assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder that are applicable to such Transfer, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to Landlord, and (4) any such Transfer shall be conditioned upon obtaining and securing (A) all necessary Gaming Licenses and other approvals and consents of Governmental Authorities and (B) if required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the consent of any Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld in Mortgagee’s sole discretion.

Section 9.2 With respect to any Transfer requiring Landlord’s and any Mortgagee’s consent to a Transfer, Landlord and such Mortgagee shall be given not less than twenty (20) days’ advance written notice of the proposed Transfer, which notice shall be delivered to Landlord and such Mortgagee together with (i) a true and complete copy of the proposed instrument(s) of the Transfer, and (ii) such other information and documents as Landlord or such Mortgagee may request in its respective sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall pay, on demand, Landlord’s and such Mortgagee’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with their consideration of whether to grant any such consent to a Transfer (but no fee in excess of $750 shall be charged in connection therewith except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement). No Transfer may be consummated during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 9.3 Any consent by Landlord and Mortgagee under this Article IX shall apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized and shall not relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord and Mortgagee to any further Transfer of this Lease. No Transfer of all or any portion of this Lease shall release or relieve the original named Tenant from any obligations of Tenant hereunder unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Mortgagee.

Section 9.4 If Landlord consents in writing to a Transfer involving a sublease, license, concession or other right of occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises (a “Sublease”), Tenant shall cause each subtenant, licensee, concessionaire and holder of such right of occupancy (each a “Subtenant” and collectively, the “Subtenants”) to comply with its obligations under its Sublease, and Tenant shall diligently enforce all of its rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of such Sublease and this Lease.

Section 9.5 The fact that a violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Lease results from or is caused by an act or omission by any of the Subtenants shall not relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to cure the same. Tenant shall take all necessary steps to prevent any such violation or breach.

Section 9.6 If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is subleased, licensed or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after an Event of Default by Tenant, and in addition to any other remedies herein provided or provided by applicable law, collect all rent becoming due to Tenant directly from the Subtenants, and apply the net amount collected to the Operating Lease Rent herein reserved and all other sums due to Landlord by Tenant hereunder, but no such assignment, sublease, license, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the Subtenant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants, and conditions on the part of Tenant to be observed or performed hereunder. Tenant hereby authorizes and directs any such Subtenant to make such payments of rent directly to Landlord, or into any collection account and/or cash management system required by any Mortgagee upon receipt of notice from Landlord or the Mortgagee, and each Sublease will contain this provision.

No direct collection by Landlord from any such Subtenant shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder. After any assignment, subletting, license or occupancy or other Transfer, Tenant’s liability hereunder shall continue; provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for any liability arising as the result of any subsequent modification or amendment of this Lease by Landlord and any assignee of Tenant.

Section 9.7 To secure the prompt and full payment by Tenant of the Operating Lease Rent and the faithful performance by Tenant of all the other terms and conditions herein contained on its part to be kept and performed, Tenant hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Landlord and its successors and assigns, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to all permitted subleases, assignments, licenses and occupancy agreements (each a “Sublease” and collectively, the “Subleases”) and hereby confers upon Landlord and its successors and assigns, and their respective agents and representatives, a right of entry (subject to prior notice) in, and sufficient possession of, the Premises to permit and insure the collection by Landlord of the rentals and other sums payable under the Subleases, and further agrees that the exercise of said right of entry and qualified possession by Landlord shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof and that should said right of entry and possession be denied Landlord, its agent or representative, Landlord, in the exercise of said right, may use all requisite force to gain and enjoy the same without responsibility or liability to Tenant, its servants, employees, guests or invitees, or any Person whomsoever; provided, however, that such assignment shall become operative and effective only if (a) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (b) this Lease and the Term shall be cancelled or terminated pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions hereof or (c) there occurs repossession under a dispossess warrant or other re-entry or repossession by Landlord under the provisions hereof or (d) a receiver for the Premises is appointed, and then only as to such of the Subleases that Landlord may elect to take over and assume. At any time and from time to time within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written demand, Tenant promptly shall deliver to Landlord a schedule of all Subleases, setting forth the names of all Subtenants, with a photostatic copy of each of the Subleases, certifying that the same constitute all of the Subleases and that the copies are true and complete. Upon reasonable request of Landlord, Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents and representatives to inspect all Subleases affecting the Premises. Tenant covenants that each Sublease shall provide that the Subtenant thereunder shall be required from time to time, upon request of Landlord or Tenant, to execute, acknowledge and deliver, to and for the benefit of Landlord, an estoppel certificate confirming with respect to such Sublease the information set forth in Section 14.1 hereof.

Section 9.8 Tenant covenants and agrees that all Subleases hereafter entered into affecting the Premises shall provide that (a) they are subject and subordinate to this Lease in all respects (or such Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease by operation of law), (b) the term thereof shall not end less than one (1) day prior to the Expiration Date hereof, unless Landlord shall consent otherwise, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, (c) the Subtenants will not pay rent or other sums under the Subleases with Tenant for more than one (1) month in advance, (d) the Subtenants shall give to Landlord at the address and otherwise in the manner specified in Section 21.8 hereof, a copy of any notice of default by Tenant as the landlord under the Subleases at the same time as, and whenever, any such notice of default shall be given by the Subtenants to Tenant, (e) in the event of the

termination or expiration of this Lease prior to the Expiration Date hereof, any such Subtenant, at Landlord’s election, shall be obligated to attorn to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such Sublease, in which event such Sublease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord and the Subtenant upon all the terms and conditions of such Sublease, except as hereinafter provided. Any attornment required by Landlord of such Subtenant shall be effective and self-operative as of the date of any such termination or expiration of this Lease without the execution of any further instrument; provided, however, that such Subtenant shall agree, upon the request of Landlord, to execute and deliver any such instruments in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion to evidence such attornment. With respect to any attornment required by Landlord of any Subtenant hereunder, (i) at the option of Landlord, Landlord shall recognize all rights and obligations of Tenant as the lessor under such Sublease and the Subtenant thereunder shall be obligated to Landlord to perform all of the obligations of the Subtenant under such Sublease and (ii) Landlord shall have no liability, prior to its becoming lessor under such Sublease, to such Subtenant nor shall the performance by such Subtenant of its obligations under the Sublease, whether prior to or after any such attornment, be subject to any defense, counterclaim or setoff by reason of any default by Tenant in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant as lessor under such Sublease, nor shall Landlord be bound by any prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent or any security deposit unless such prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Landlord and Mortgagee or such deposit was received by Landlord. Landlord shall not unreasonably refuse a request by Tenant to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any Subtenant. The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

Section 9.9 If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code to any Person who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to Tenant, then notice of such proposed assignment shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such offer by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Tenant shall file any application or motion with a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assumption and assignment. Such notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of the assignee, (b) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (c) the proposal for providing adequate assurance of future performance by such Person under the Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any Person to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord upon demand an instrument confirming such assumption.

Section 9.10 The term “adequate assurance of future performance” as used in this Lease shall mean (in addition to the assurances called for in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(1)) that any proposed assignee shall, if determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be appropriate under the circumstances (a) deposit with Landlord on the assumption of this Lease an amount equal to the greater of (i) two (2) times the then monthly Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent or (ii) such other amount deemed by the Bankruptcy Court to be reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord under the circumstances, as security for the faithful performance and observance by such assignee of the terms and obligations of this Lease,

(b) furnish Landlord with financial statements of such assignee for the prior three (3) fiscal years, as finally determined after an audit and certified as correct by a certified public accountant, which financial statements shall show a net worth at least equal to the amount of the deposit referenced in (a) above, (c) grant to Landlord a security interest in such property of the proposed assignee as Landlord shall deem necessary to secure such assignee’s future performance under this Lease, and (d) provide such other information or take such action as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, shall determine is necessary to provide adequate assurance of the performance by such assignee of its obligations under the Lease.

Section 9.11 If, at any time after Tenant may have assigned Tenant’s interest in this Lease in a proceeding of the type described in Section 12.1(i) or (j), this Lease shall be disaffirmed or rejected in any proceeding of the type described in Section 12.1(i) or (j) hereof, or in any similar proceeding, or in the event of termination of this Lease by reason of any such proceeding or by reason of lapse of time following notice of termination given pursuant to Article XII based upon any of the events of default set forth in said Section 12.1(i) or (j), Tenant, upon request of Landlord given within thirty (30) days next following any such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant”, enter into a new lease with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the expiration date of the Term, unless sooner terminated as in such lease provided, at the same Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except that (i) Tenant’s rights under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights, if any, of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any Person claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any applicable law, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant to pay all Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent reserved in this Lease which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have accrued under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant shall default in its obligation to enter into said new lease for a period of ten (10) days next following Landlord’s request therefor, then in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of such default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as if Tenant had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default thereunder.

Section 9.12 (a) Licenses, certificates or permits held in the name of Tenant or an agent or representative of Tenant, which relate to the operation of the Premises, or the name of the Premises or the operations at the Premises, as then known to the general public (but excluding the items excluded in clauses (vii) and (viii) of Section 2.6(a)) shall upon Landlord’s written request upon an Event of Default, be assigned by Tenant to a replacement licensed operator of the Premises and/or a subsequent lessee identified by Landlord, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or by the terms of such licenses, certificates or permits. If Tenant fails to make or refuses to recognize the assignment of any such licenses, permits or certificates, this provision of this Lease shall constitute an act of assignment to the replacement licensed operator and/or lessee identified by Landlord except to the extent such assignment is prohibited by Legal Requirement or the terms of such licenses, certificates or permits.

(b) Tenant shall not and shall not allow any Person to abandon or surrender any material licenses, permits, certificates or authorizations required for or which relate to the operation of the Premises as casino and/or gaming operations without prior notice to, and receipt of written approval from, Landlord. Tenant shall not and shall not allow any Person to act or fail to act in any manner which will cause any material licenses, permits or certificates relating to the Premises, or the operation, use or maintenance thereof, to be revoked or not renewed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) Tenant shall not file bankruptcy, become insolvent, permit itself to become subject to any action seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official of Tenant or a substantial part of its assets, permit itself to become subject to any action of involuntary receivership, fail to pay its debts as they become due, or take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not take any steps or act in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Tenant’s Gaming License or that would prevent it from operating under such Gaming License at the Premises.

Section 9.13 The provisions of Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 hereof shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 9.14 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, all provisions contained in the Mortgage or any other Mortgage Loan Document in respect of assignments, Subleases and transfers of this Lease or the interest in Tenant shall take precedence over and be in lieu of any inconsistent provision provided for in this Article IX.

ARTICLE X

SUBORDINATION

Section 10.1 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all Mortgages now or hereafter in effect. At any Mortgagee’s direction, Tenant shall attorn to the Mortgagee, or any successor-in-interest to Landlord or the Mortgagee, including without limitation, any such party which takes title by foreclosure, power of sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, pursuant to a proceeding in bankruptcy or alternative procedure, or any right or remedy at law or in equity. The transfer of the title to the Premises, any part thereof or any underlying lease to any Mortgagee, or any successor in interest to Landlord or Mortgagee by foreclosure, power of sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, pursuant to a proceeding in bankruptcy or any alternative procedure, or any right or remedy at law or in equity shall not be considered a default or breach by Landlord of this Lease, which shall survive and remain in full force and effect. This Section 10.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any Mortgagee superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, however, Tenant shall, together with the Mortgagee, execute and deliver promptly any certificate or agreement that Landlord and any Mortgagee may reasonably request in confirmation of such subordination, and Tenant grants to Landlord an

irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of executing and delivering any such certificate or agreement for or on behalf of Tenant. In addition, Tenant agrees to provide all surveys, certifications, documents, agreements, instruments, reports and other assurances as Mortgagee may reasonably require Landlord to cause Tenant to deliver pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents. Upon any foreclosure of a Mortgage, the grant of any deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or any transfer pursuant to a proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, neither the Mortgagee nor anyone claiming by, through or under such Mortgagee shall be:

(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord);

(b) subject to any defense or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord) which arise prior to the date such Mortgagee (or someone acquiring at a foreclosure sale related to the Mortgagee’s Mortgage) acquires title to the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein;

(c) bound by any payment of Operating Lease Rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord);

(d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such Mortgagee or Landlord succeeded to any prior Landlord’s interest other than deposits and reserves received by such Mortgagee;

(e) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises;

(f) bound by any modification, amendment or supplement to this Lease made without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee; or

(g) bound by any security deposit for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease unless such deposit is actually received by Mortgagee.

If required by any Mortgagee, Tenant promptly shall join in any subordination and attornment agreement to indicate its concurrence with the provisions thereof and its agreement, in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage. Tenant shall promptly so accept, execute and deliver any subordination and attornment agreement proposed by any Mortgagee which conforms with the provisions of this Section 10.1. Any subordination and attornment agreement may also contain other terms and conditions as may otherwise be required by any Mortgagee or Landlord which do not increase Tenant’s monetary obligations or materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

Section 10.2 (a) Tenant hereby agrees to give to any Mortgagee copies of all notices given by Tenant of default by Landlord under this Lease at the same time and in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord, and the same shall not be effective as against Landlord until so given to Mortgagee. Such Mortgagee shall have the right to remedy any default by Landlord under this Lease, or to cause any default of

Landlord under this Lease to be remedied, and for such purpose Tenant hereby grants such Mortgagee such period of time as may be reasonable to enable such Mortgagee to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Landlord for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by such Mortgagee of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under this Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No default by Landlord under this Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as such Mortgagee, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to Force Majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Premises or control of Landlord is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee, as long as such Mortgagee, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that such Mortgagee intends to institute proceedings under the applicable Loan Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall prosecute the same with reasonable diligence and, after having obtained possession, prosecutes the cure to completion with reasonable diligence (other than those not reasonably susceptible of cure by Mortgagee). This Lease shall not be modified or amended, or terminated, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent, in the case of non-material amendments or modifications, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed, however, that Mortgagee’s refusal to consent to any proposed amendment or modification that would be contrary to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be unreasonable). In the event of the termination of this Lease by reason of any default by Landlord hereunder or for any other reason whatsoever except the expiration thereof, upon such Mortgagee’s written request, given within thirty (30) days after any such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagee or its designee or nominee a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the Term of this Lease upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Neither such Mortgagee nor its designee or nominee shall otherwise become liable under this Lease unless and until such Mortgagee, or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only for so long as such Mortgagee, or its designee or nominee remains, the fee owner of the Premises. Mortgagee shall have the right, without Tenant’s consent and without liability to Tenant for any claim for damages or any other relief therefor or in connection therewith, to foreclose the Mortgage or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such Mortgage, and in doing so, whether or not the same would occur by operation of law, terminate this Lease and evict Tenant from the Premises, provided, however, Landlord (or Mortgagee on behalf of Landlord) shall have the right at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu, to elect not to terminate this Lease at such time and shall, in such event, nevertheless retain the unilateral right at any time thereafter, on thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease and evict Tenant from the Premises, without liability to Tenant for any claim for damages or any other relief therefor or in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is subject to the last paragraph of Section 12.2.

(b) In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to each Mortgagee, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or such Mortgagee within a reasonable period of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed

following the giving of such notice and following the time when such Mortgagee shall have become entitled under the Mortgage Loan Documents to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy).

Section 10.3 Landlord and Tenant agree, for the benefit of the Lenders, to implement the lockbox arrangement described herein, in the Collection Account Agreement and in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 10.4 Tenant shall have the exclusive obligation to satisfy, pay and provide at its own expense, as Supplementary Rent, requirements for any Impositions, insurance premiums and FF&E reserves set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Landlord agrees to withdraw funds from the FF&E Reserve Account, the Blocked Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and the Working Capital Account as and when requested by Tenant, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents, provided Tenant delivers to Landlord such receipts and other materials as are necessary in order for Landlord to satisfy the conditions to such release set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Landlord agrees that disbursements from such reserves and escrows received by Landlord from the Mortgagee shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall use the funds from such reserves and escrows solely for the purposes set forth in and subject to the conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Tenant’s obligation to purchase FF&E and other Equipment in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof shall not be relieved or otherwise affected by Landlord’s failure (whether or not excused under the Mortgage Loan Documents) to provide funds to such FF&E Reserve Account or to disburse the same to Tenant, and (b) all FF&E and Equipment, immediately upon the acquisition thereof, shall and is intended to be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord, subject only to the terms of this Lease allowing Tenant to use the same until this Lease shall expire or terminate, and Tenant shall keep the same free and clear of all Liens.

Section 10.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.6 Tenant hereby acknowledges that on and as of the date of this Lease: (a) Collateral Agent is a Mortgagee and holds a first Mortgage on the Premises; (b) Landlord has provided to Tenant and Tenant has received copies of, and has reviewed, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents; (c) Tenant shall observe and perform, on a timely basis, to the extent applicable to Tenant, or the Premises, each term and condition under the Loan Documents, and any other Loan Documents which are hereafter delivered to Tenant; and (d) to the extent that the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents and such other Loan Documents which are hereafter delivered to Tenant pertain to the Premises (or the use, operation or occupancy thereof), Legal Requirements, Gaming Licenses, Operating Permits, Subleases, Rents or Tenant, Tenant agrees that each of such representations and warranties is hereby incorporated into this Lease by reference as if set forth herein at length such that Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord each and every such representation and warranty.

ARTICLE XI

OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT

Section 11.1 Tenant shall promptly comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements with respect to the Premises (or any part thereof) and/or the use and occupation thereof by Tenant, whether any of the same relate to or require (i) structural changes to or in and about the Premises, or (ii) changes or requirements incident to or as the result of any use or occupation thereof or otherwise, and subject to Article VII, Tenant shall so perform and comply, whether or not such Legal Requirements shall now exist or shall hereafter be enacted or promulgated and whether or not the same may be said to be within the present contemplation of the parties hereto. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, present and future compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition, Tenant will comply with the applicable provisions of ERISA and of the regulations and published interpretations thereunder and shall furnish to Landlord and Mortgagee promptly after any officer of Tenant either knows, or has a reasonable basis to know, notice that any violation or other reportable event (including the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA) has occurred.

Section 11.2 Tenant agrees to give Landlord notice of any notice, assessment, claim, demand, communication, violation, summons, complaint, investigation, termination, suspension, or revocation made, issued or adopted by any of the Governmental Authorities (including, without limitation, the Gaming Authorities) hereinbefore mentioned affecting in a material adverse manner (i) the Premises, (ii) the use, maintenance, occupancy, repair or restoration thereof or (iii) the financial condition of Tenant, a copy of which is served upon or received by Tenant, or a copy of which is posted on, or fastened or attached to the Premises, or otherwise brought to the attention of Tenant, by mailing within five (5) Business Days after such service, receipt, posting, fastening or attaching or after the same otherwise comes to the attention of Tenant, a copy of each and every one thereof to Landlord and Mortgagee. At the same time, Tenant will inform Landlord as to the Work which Tenant proposes to do or take in order to comply therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such Work would require any Alterations which would, in Landlord’s opinion, reduce the value of the Premises or change the general character, design or use of any of the Buildings or other improvements thereon, and if Tenant does not desire to contest the same, Tenant shall, if Landlord so requests, defer compliance therewith in order that Landlord may, if Landlord wishes, contest or seek modification of or other relief with respect to such Legal Requirements, so long as Tenant is not put in violation of any Legal Requirements, but nothing herein shall relieve Tenant of the duty and obligation, at Tenant’s expense, to comply with such Legal Requirements, or such Legal Requirements as modified, whenever Landlord shall so direct.

Section 11.3 Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Lender (which, for purposes of determining “Indemnified Parties”, shall include any noteholder in respect of the applicable Loan Documents and any servicer on behalf of any such noteholder), each of their respective Affiliates, any partners, members or managers thereof, any partners, members or managers of any such partners, members or managers, and any partners, members, managers, officers, stockholders, trustees, directors or employees of any of the foregoing and any successors and/or assigns of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), from and against and shall reimburse such

parties for (a) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, costs, charges, judgments, claims, causes of actions, suits, damages, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Claims”) (1) arising from or under this Lease or Tenant’s use, occupancy and operations of, in or about the Premises during the Term, (2) arising from the ownership, operation [(whether as a casino, or any ancillary uses, as permitted hereunder)], maintenance, management, use, regulation, development, expansion or construction of the Premises, including any of the foregoing in relation to the Gaming Equipment, (3) arising from working capital or other operating liabilities relating to the Premises (or the use thereof) covered by this Lease, including without limitation, any employment or labor matters of any kind (including any matters relating to collective bargaining agreements or pension liability and related matters, if applicable), Claims of Governmental Authorities, employee Claims, payroll and payroll overhead Claims, benefit program Claims, and other Claims relating to the liabilities of the Premises (or the use thereof), in each case which are attributable to occurrences during or prior to the Term that the Premises is leased by Tenant or (4) which may be imposed upon or incurred or paid by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason of or in connection with (i) any accident, injury, death or damage to any Person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any portion thereof or any adjacent street, alley, sidewalk, curb, or passageway; (ii) any changes, alterations, repairs and anything done in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof in connection with such changes, alterations and repairs; (iii) the use, non-use, occupation, condition, operation, maintenance or management of the Premises or any part thereof, or any adjacent street, alley, sidewalk, curb, or passageway; (iv) any negligent act or omission on the part of Tenant, any Subtenants or any of Tenant’s or Subtenant’s agents, contractors, servants, employees, space tenants, licensees, assignees, or subtenants; (v) the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof; (vi) any violation by Tenant (or by any agent, contractor or Subtenant then upon or using the Premises) of any provision of this Lease including, but not limited to, Article VII hereof, or any breach or violation of any Legal Requirement (including, without limitation, any Gaming Law) by Tenant or its agents, concessionaires, contractors, Subtenants, servants, vendors, materialmen or suppliers; or (vii) the condition of the Premises, or of any buildings or other structures now or hereafter situated thereon, or the fixtures or personal property thereon or therein, to the extent such events described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) occur during or prior to the Term; and (b) all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred, including actual, customary and reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements through and including appellate proceedings, in or in connection with any of such Claims; provided that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified for any Claim arising from its gross negligence, willful misconduct, illegal acts or fraud and in no event shall Tenant have any liability under this Section 11.3 to any Indemnified Party in respect of any consequential or punitive damages or diminution of value. If any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Claims, Tenant, upon notice from any of the Indemnified Parties, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding, at its sole cost and expense by counsel to be selected by Tenant but otherwise satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion. Tenant or its counsel shall keep each Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times of the status of such defense. If Tenant shall fail to defend such action or proceeding, such an Indemnified Party may retain its own attorneys to defend or assist in defending any such claim, action or proceeding, and Tenant shall pay the actual, customary and reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys. The terms and provisions of this

Section 11.3 shall not in any way be affected by the absence of insurance covering such occurrence or claim or by the failure or refusal of any insurance company to perform any obligation on its part. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall not enter into any settlement of a Claim which would impose a monetary liability on, or require an admission of liability, fault or other responsibility by, any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. Any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party shall be credited against the indemnification otherwise to be provided herein. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of any Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but delay in providing such notice shall not relieve Tenant of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent such delay materially prejudiced Tenant’s ability to defend such Claim. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to create a benefit for a third party except for Lenders and for other Indemnified Parties.

Section 11.4 If at any time prior to or during the Term (or within the statutory period thereafter if attributable to Tenant), any mechanic’s or other Lien or order for payment of money, which shall have been either created by, caused (directly or indirectly) by, or suffered against Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant (or any predecessor-in-interest to Tenant), shall be filed against the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the same to be discharged by payment, bonding or otherwise, within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives notice of the filing thereof unless (i) such Lien or order is contested by Tenant in good faith and (ii) Tenant provides sufficient security or evidence of financial ability, in each case to the satisfaction of Landlord and Mortgagee (in their respective sole and absolute discretion), to pay the amount of such Lien or order; provided that, if the Lien or order in question is the responsibility of a Subtenant under its Sublease and no other material default under such Sublease (after applicable notice and grace) has occurred and in continuing, then Tenant shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement set forth in clause (i) above so long as it is diligently enforcing its rights under such Sublease against such Subtenant. Tenant shall, upon notice and request in writing by Landlord or Mortgagee, defend for Landlord and Mortgagee, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any action or proceeding which may be brought on or for the enforcement of any such Lien or order for payment of money, and will pay any damages and satisfy and discharge any judgment entered in such action or proceeding and save harmless Landlord and Mortgagee from any liability, claim or damage resulting therefrom. In default of Tenant’s procuring the discharge of any such Lien as aforesaid Landlord and Mortgagee may, without notice, and without prejudice to its other remedies hereunder, procure the discharge thereof by bonding or payment or otherwise, and all cost and expense which Landlord and Mortgagee shall incur shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord or Mortgagee, as applicable, as Other Rent forthwith.

Section 11.5 Landlord shall not under any circumstances be liable to pay for any work, labor or services rendered or materials furnished to or for the account of Tenant upon or in connection with the Premises, and no mechanic’s or other Lien for such work, labor or services or material furnished shall, under any circumstances, attach to or affect the reversionary interest of Landlord in and to the Premises or any alterations, repairs, or improvements to be erected or made thereon. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the request or consent of Landlord, either express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any

materials for any specific improvement, alteration to or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials on behalf of Landlord that would give rise to the filing of any Lien against the Premises. [Pursuant to Section 108.234 of Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), Landlord hereby informs Tenant that Tenant must comply with the requirements of NRS § 108.2403 & NRS § 108.2407. Tenant shall take all actions necessary under Nevada law to ensure that no liens encumbering Landlord’s interest in the Premises arise as a result of Tenant’s Work, which actions shall include, without limitation, the recording of a notice of posted security in the Official Records of Xxxxx County, Nevada, in accordance with NRS § 108.2403, and either (i) establish a construction disbursement account pursuant to NRS § 108.2403(1)(b)(1), or (ii) furnish and record, in accordance with NRS § 108.2403(1)(b)(2), a surety bond for the prime contract for Tenant’s Work at the Premises that meets the requirements of NRS § 108.2415. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the name and address of Tenant’s prime contractor who will be performing Work on behalf of Tenant as soon as it is known. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately upon the signing of any contract with the prime contractor for the construction, alteration or repair of any portion of the Premises. Tenant may not enter the Premises to begin Work or any portion thereof on the Premises until Tenant has delivered evidence satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has complied with the terms of this Section 11.5. Failure by Tenant to comply with the terms of this Section 11.5 shall permit Landlord to declare Tenant in default of this Lease.]

Section 11.6 Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any loss of or damage to the property of Tenant or others by reason of casualty, theft or otherwise, or due to any interruption or failure of any services or use or the operation or management of the Premises, or due to any building on the Premises being defective or improperly constructed, or being or becoming out of repair, or for any injury or damage to Persons or property resulting from any cause of whatsoever nature (nor shall such party be liable for any such loss which is caused by or arises from the negligence of Landlord or its agents).

Section 11.7 Landlord shall not be required to furnish to Tenant any facilities or services of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, water, steam, heat, gas, oil, hot water, and/or electricity, all of which Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has obtained from the public utility supplying the same, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Upon Tenant’s written request, however, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant (at no cost to Landlord) with respect to such services.

Section 11.8 Tenant will qualify to do business and remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (including, without limitation, under any all Gaming Laws, if applicable, and Legal Requirements) as and to the extent required for the use, ownership, lease, operation, maintenance or repair of the Premises.

Section 12.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity that Landlord may have by reason of such Event of Default, at its option pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any further notice or demand whatsoever, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law (provided that any notice required as specified in this Section 12.2 must be joined in, and the exercise of any remedies as described in this Section 12.2 must be approved, by Mortgagee):

(a) Terminate this Lease by issuing written notice of termination to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, but if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, but, subject to Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, any requirement that the occupant needs to be the holder of a Gaming License, peaceably enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and its effects without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and upon any such termination, Tenant agrees that in addition to its liability for the payment of arrearages of Operating Lease Rent due and owing by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease upon such termination, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for damages. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages on the same days as the Operating Lease Rent are due hereunder, the total amount of such Operating Lease Rent payments plus a reimbursement for all unamortized tenant allowances and concessions, less such part, if any, of such payments that Landlord shall have been able to collect from a new tenant upon reletting; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant to relet the Premises so as to mitigate the amount for which Tenant is liable unless required by applicable law. Landlord shall have the right at any time to demand final settlement. Upon demand for a final settlement, Landlord shall have the right to receive, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay, as damages for Tenant’s breach, the total rental provided for in this Lease for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value using a discount rate equal to United States Treasury Securities having comparable maturities to such rental payments plus 3.0%.

(b) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and expel or remove Tenant and its effects therefrom without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Landlord may relet the Premises for the account of Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all arrearages of Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent due and owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall also pay to Landlord during each month of the unexpired Term the installments of Base Rent and other sums due hereunder, less such part, if any, that Landlord shall have been able to collect from a new tenant upon reletting; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to this Tenant to relet the Premises so as to mitigate the amount for which Tenant is liable unless required by applicable law. In the event Landlord exercises the rights and remedies afforded to it under this Section 12.2(b) and then subsequently elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for damages as set forth in Section 12.2(a) above and Landlord shall have the right at any time to demand final settlement as provided therein.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, cause the transfer of Gaming Licenses and other [Operating Permits] relating to the Premises and the operation and management of the Premises and leasing of the Premises to any replacement operator, manager or tenant of the Premises identified by Landlord, and after such replacement operator, manager or tenant obtains all appropriate Gaming Licenses, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to (i) transfer all books and records [to the extent relating solely] to the Premises and used in

connection with the operation of the Premises, and (ii) continue to perform the Diligence Activities and provide Transition Services during the Transition Period as required by Section 4.4 to the replacement operator, manager or tenant so as to provide continuation of [casino operations] and minimize disruption.

(d) Enforce, by all legal suits and other means, its rights hereunder, including the collection of Operating Lease Rent and all other sums payable by (or to be collected from) Tenant hereunder, without re-entering or resuming possession of the Premises and without terminating this Lease.

(e) Do whatever Tenant is obligated to do by the provisions of this Lease, may peaceably enter the Premises in order to accomplish this purpose and may make any reasonable expenditure or incur any reasonable obligation for the payment of money in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in its actions pursuant to this Section 12.2(e), with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid and such amount shall be deemed to be Other Rent hereunder.

(f) To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements (including Gaming Licenses), and in coordination with a transition to a replacement facility operator or manager: peaceably enter upon the Premises and change, alter, or modify the door locks on all entry doors of the Premises, and permanently or temporarily exclude Tenant, and its agents, employees, representatives and invitees, from the Premises. In the event that Landlord either permanently excludes Tenant from the Premises or terminates this Lease on account of Tenant’s default, Landlord shall not be obligated thereafter to provide Tenant with a key to the Premises at any time, regardless of any amounts subsequently paid by Tenant. If Landlord elects to exclude Tenant from the Premises temporarily without permanently repossessing the Premises or terminating this Lease, then Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with a key to reenter the Premises until such time as all delinquent rent and other amounts due under this Lease have been paid in full and all other defaults, if any, have been cured and Tenant shall have given Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has the ability to comply with its remaining obligations under this Lease; and if Landlord temporarily excludes Tenant from the Premises, Landlord shall have the right thereafter to permanently exclude Tenant from the Premises or terminate this Lease at any time before Tenant pays all delinquent rent, cures all other defaults and furnishes such evidence to Landlord. A key to the Premises will be furnished to Tenant only during Landlord’s normal business hours. Landlord’s exclusion of Tenant from the Premises shall not constitute a permanent exclusion of Tenant from the Premises or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. Landlord shall not be obligated to place a written notice on the Premises on the front door thereof explaining Landlord’s action or stating the name, address or telephone number of any individual or company from which a new key may be obtained. In the event Landlord permanently or temporarily excludes Tenant from the Premises or terminates this Lease, and Tenant owns property that has been left in the Premises but which is not subject to any statutory or contractual Lien or security interest held by Landlord as security for Tenant’s obligations, Tenant shall have the right to promptly so notify Landlord in writing, specifying the items of property not covered by any such Lien or security interest and which Tenant desires to retrieve from the Premises.

Landlord shall have the right to either (i) escort Tenant to the Premises to allow Tenant to retrieve Tenant’s property not covered by any such Lien or security interest, or (ii) remove such property itself and make it available to Tenant at a time and place designated by Landlord. In the event Landlord elects to remove such property itself as provided in the immediately preceding clause (ii), Landlord shall not be obligated to remove such property or deliver it to Tenant unless Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, an amount of cash equal to the amount that Landlord estimates Landlord will be required to reasonably expend in order to remove such property and make it available to Tenant, including all reasonable moving or storage charges theretofore or thereafter incurred by Landlord with respect to such property. If Tenant pays such estimated amount to Landlord and the actual amount incurred by Landlord differs from the estimated amount, Tenant shall pay any additional amounts to Landlord on demand or Landlord shall refund any excess amounts paid by Tenant to Tenant on demand.

(g) Terminate Tenant’s rights under any one or more of Sections 3.2, 3.3, 7.1 and 7.2.

Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law or equity. Exercise of such remedies shall be in compliance with the requirements of Gaming Licenses, Gaming Laws and Governmental Authorities, and in coordination with a transition to a replacement facility operator or manager. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else herein, with respect to Gaming Licenses, Gaming Laws or related Governmental Authorities of the State of New Jersey, no such Gaming Licenses, Gaming Laws or Governmental Authorities shall affect the rights or remedies of Landlord under this Lease, except to the extent of the enforcement of remedies relating to the control of casino operations in New Jersey.] Any entry by Landlord upon the Premises may be by use of a master or duplicate key or electronic pass card or any locksmith’s entry procedure or other means. Any reletting by Landlord (if any) shall be without notice to Tenant, and if Landlord has not terminated this Lease, the reletting may be in the name of Tenant or Landlord, as Landlord shall elect. Any reletting shall be for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which, in the absence of a termination of this Lease, would otherwise constitute the balance of the Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include free rent, rental concessions or tenant inducements of any nature) as Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. In the event of any reletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the reasonable cost of renovating, repairing and altering the Premises for a new tenant or tenants, and the cost of advertisements, brokerage fees, reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting (consistent with local market conditions). In the event any rentals actually collected by Landlord upon any such reletting for any calendar month are in excess of the amount of rental payable by Tenant under this Lease for the same calendar month, the amount of such excess shall belong solely to Landlord and Tenant shall have no right with respect thereto. In the event it is necessary for Landlord to institute suit against Tenant in order to collect the rental due hereunder or any deficiency between the rental provided for by this Lease for a calendar month and the rental actually collected by Landlord for such calendar month, Landlord shall have the right to allow such deficiency to accumulate and to bring an action upon several or all of such rental deficiencies at one time. No suit shall prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to bring a similar action for any subsequent rental deficiency or deficiencies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else in this Lease to the contrary, if any Transition Period (as defined in the Management Agreement) shall exist, this Lease shall not terminate prior to the expiration or earlier termination of such Transition Period.

Section 12.3 Subject to the terms of Section 12.2 above, upon the exercise by Landlord of any of the remedies contained in this Lease, at law or in equity, no re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord and Mortgagee. Notwithstanding any such reletting or re-entry to take possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a previous then continuing uncured default. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the term hereby granted shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless the same be made in writing by Landlord and Mortgagee.

Section 12.4 No taking of possession of and/or reletting the Premises, or any part thereof, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting.

Section 12.5 To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which would have the effect of limiting or modifying any of the provisions of this Article XII. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments which Landlord may request, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, evidencing such waiver or release.

Section 12.6 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Operating Lease Rent payable by Tenant hereunder and each and every installment thereof, and all costs, actual, customary and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in enforcing the provisions of this Lease on account of any delinquency of Tenant in carrying out the provisions of this Lease shall be and they hereby are declared to constitute a valid Lien upon the interest of Tenant in this Lease and in the Premises.

Section 12.7 Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Operating Lease Rent payable hereunder or any deficiencies or other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article XII, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no Event of Default by Tenant and termination.

Section 12.8 Nothing contained in this Article XII shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding an amount equal to the maximum allowed by Legal Requirement governing such proceeding and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount shall be greater than, equal to or less than the amount of the damages referred to in any of the preceding Sections of this Article XII.

Section 12.9 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as prohibited by applicable law, Tenant hereby expressly waives the service of any notice of intention to re-enter provided for in any statute, or of the institution of legal proceedings to that end, and Tenant, for and on behalf of itself and all Persons claiming through or under Tenant, also waives any and all right of redemption provided by any Legal Requirement or statute now in force or hereafter enacted or otherwise, or re-entry or repossession or to restore the operation of this Lease in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case of re-entry or repossession by Landlord or in case of any expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 12.10 No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, or receipt or acceptance of Operating Lease Rent with knowledge of or during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 12.11 In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to a decree compelling performance of any of the provisions hereof and the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. The rights granted to Landlord in this Lease shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy which Landlord may otherwise have at law, in equity or otherwise, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

Section 12.12 Tenant shall pay to Landlord and each other Indemnified Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding to which such Indemnified Party may be made a party by reason of any act or omission of Tenant. Tenant also shall pay to Landlord and each other Indemnified Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, actual, customary and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord and any Lender in enforcing any of the covenants and provisions of this Lease and incurred in any action brought by Landlord or such Lender against Tenant on account of the provisions hereof, and all such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and disbursements may be included in and form a part of any judgment entered in any proceeding brought by Landlord or such Lender against Tenant on or under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall only be obligated to pay to the extent that Landlord or such Lender is successful in such action. All of the sums paid or obligations incurred by Landlord or such Lender as aforesaid, with interest (at the Default Rate) and costs, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord or such Lender, as applicable, on demand.

Section 12.13 If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Supplementary Rent or Other Rent when such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such payment of Base Rent, Supplementary Rent or Other Rent, as the case may be, interest on the amount unpaid at the Default Rate (which for all purposes hereunder where such rate is specified shall remain the applicable interest rate even after a judgment against Tenant), computed from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment, as well as any late payment charge due under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE XIII

NO WAIVER

Section 13.1 No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination or cancellation of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises (or after the giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possess the Premises) shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or affect or otherwise operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Base Rent, Supplementary Rent or Other Rent then due, or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises by proper suit, action, proceeding or remedy; it being agreed that, after the service of notice to terminate or cancel this Lease or Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, or the commencement of suit, action or summary proceedings, or any other remedy, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of the Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due, or thereafter falling due, without, in any manner whatsoever, affecting such notice, proceeding, suit, action, order or judgment; and any and all such moneys collected shall be deemed to be payments on account of the use and occupation of the Premises or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder. The acceptance of any check or payment bearing or accompanied by any endorsement, legend or statements shall not, of itself, constitute any change in or termination of this Lease.

Section 13.2 The failure of Landlord to enforce any agreement, condition, covenant or term, by reason of its breach by Tenant shall not be deemed to void, waive or affect the right of Landlord to enforce the same agreement, condition, covenant or term on the occasion of a subsequent default or breach. No surrender of the Premises by Tenant (prior to any termination of this Lease) shall be valid unless consented to in writing by Landlord and Lender.

ARTICLE XIV

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; CONSENT

Section 14.1 Tenant agrees that it shall, at any time and from time to time, but no more than quarterly unless an Event of Default shall be continuing, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice by Landlord or any Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the person requesting the same a statement in writing certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent payable and the dates to which the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent have been paid, (iii) the amount of Base Rent actually paid on the last date such Base Rent was paid,

(iv) the amount of Management Fees subtracted from Base Rent on the last date such Base Rent was paid, (v) the date through which Management Fees have been paid in full, (vi) that the address for notices to be sent to Tenant is as set forth in this Lease, (vii) whether to Tenant’s actual knowledge, Landlord is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition or limitation contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each default, (viii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date, (ix) that Tenant is in possession of the Premises, and (x) any other matters reasonably requested by Landlord or Lender, as applicable, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article XIV may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser of the Premises, Lender and prospective Lender.

Section 14.2 Landlord has secured financing of its interest in the Premises by, among other things, assigning Landlord’s interest in this Lease and the sums payable thereunder and hereunder to Mortgagee. Tenant hereby consents to such assignment and, without further consideration, agrees to execute and deliver documents and certificates reasonably requested by Mortgagee to evidence same and provide additional information and take such other actions as may be necessary to consummate the purposes under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that the result of the foregoing actions shall not put Tenant in a materially worse position or increase Tenant’s costs hereunder (other than the direct costs of implementing such changes, such as legal fees, which Tenant hereby agrees to pay).

ARTICLE XV

QUIET ENJOYMENT

Section 15.1 Tenant, upon the payment of the Operating Lease Rents herein reserved and upon the due performance and observance of all the covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed and observed, including without limitation, the maintenance by Tenant of all necessary Gaming Licenses required for the operation of the Premises in good standing and the compliance by Tenant with all Legal Requirements, shall and may at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises without or hindrance of and from any Person claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 10.2.

ARTICLE XVI

SURRENDER

Section 16.1 Tenant shall, on the last day of the Term, or upon the sooner termination of the Term, (i) quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises (including the Leased Personal Property) vacant (subject to the below terms of this Section 16.1), and in the same level of condition and repair as on the Closing Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, or in such higher level of condition as required pursuant to the other terms hereof, and (ii) remove or

demolish all of the Gaming Equipment which Landlord shall have elected to cause Tenant to remove pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof; provided, however, that at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall allow the successor tenant to use the Gaming Equipment for a reasonable period of time until such successor tenant is able to acquire replacements therefor, as long as (if no Event of Default shall have been continuing as of the termination of the Term) the successor tenant shall pay Tenant the reasonable rental value for such use; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to allow any successor tenant to use the Gaming Equipment if such successor tenant does not hold the applicable Gaming License or, to the extent that the Gaming Equipment is leased from a third-party, such third-party does not consent to such use by such successor tenant. Upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, cause the transfer of the operation and management of the Premises and leasing of the Premises to any replacement operator, manager or tenant of the Premises designated by Landlord, and after such replacement operator, manager or tenant obtains all appropriate Gaming Licenses, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to transfer all books and records relating to the Premises and shall provide (and shall cooperate with Landlord in providing) all Transition Services during the Transition Period as required by Section 4.4 to the new Casino operator or manager so as to provide continuation of Casino operations and minimize disruption. Tenant’s obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. In the event that Tenant fails to surrender the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right to exercise the applicable remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Tenant shall have the right, as long as it is not in default under this Lease, upon the expiration of the Term (but subject to the temporary use by the successor tenant referred to above), to remove from the Premises all of the Gaming Equipment, provided that Tenant shall at its own cost and expense reasonably restore and repair any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of the Gaming Equipment. Such removal shall be done upon advance notice, at a mutually convenient time approved by Landlord and without disruption of the successor tenant’s business operations. The term “reasonable wear and tear” as used herein shall not be construed as permitting any missing items or components of any item of Leased Personal Property. Upon surrender, Tenant shall provide any additional documentation reasonably requested by Landlord relating to redelivery of or Landlord’s interest in each item of Leased Personal Property.

Section 16.2 Upon the expiration of the Term, all Base Rent, Supplementary Rent (subject to Section 3.3) and Other Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be apportioned to the date of expiration.

Section 16.3 Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Premises must be surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises as aforesaid will be extremely substantial, will exceed the amount of the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent theretofore payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease, a sum equal to the higher of the then fair market rental value of the Premises, determined taking into account the

effect of all material factors reasonably relevant to such determination and as approved by Mortgagee, or two (2) times the aggregate of the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent which was payable under this Lease with respect to the last month of the term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease; and in the event of any unauthorized holding over, Tenant shall indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties against all claims for damages by any other lessee or prospective lessee to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective before or after the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease. If Tenant holds over in possession after the expiration or termination of the term of the Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the term or renew this Lease, but the tenancy thereafter shall continue as a tenancy from month to month upon the terms and conditions of this Lease at the Base Rent, Supplementary Rent and Other Rent as herein increased. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Legal Requirement which would contravene or limit the provisions set forth in this Section 16.4. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE XVII

ACCESS

Section 17.1 Subject to Gaming Laws, Landlord shall at all times during the Term have the right and privilege to enter the Premises upon prior notice during business hours and in compliance with reasonable security requirements of Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or Mortgagees thereof. Landlord shall also have the right and privilege at all times during the Term to post notices of nonresponsibility for work performed by or on behalf of Tenant and, during the last one (1) year of the Term, Landlord shall have the right and privilege, to enter the Premises at reasonable times during business hours for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective new tenants.

Section 17.2 Subject to Gaming Laws, Landlord and Mortgagee shall at all times during the Term have the right to enter the Premises or any part thereof for the purpose of making such repairs or Alterations therein as Landlord deems necessary or advisable following the failure of Tenant to make any such repairs or Alterations beyond any applicable notice and cure period, but such right of access shall not be construed as obligating Landlord to make any repairs to or replacements to the Premises or as obligating Landlord to make any inspection or examination of the Buildings. In the event of an emergency, subject to Gaming Laws, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises or any part thereof.

ARTICLE XVIII

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Section 18.1 Tenant will not use, generate, treat, hold, possess, refine, handle, xxxxx, remove, control, manage, manufacture, produce, store, release, discharge or dispose of in, on, under, from or about the Premises or transfer or transport to or from the Premises any

Hazardous Substance and will not allow or suffer any other Person or entity to do so (except for non-material quantities of substances which are customarily used in the ordinary operation of a casino resort in compliance with Environmental Laws and for which Tenant has obtained any necessary permits, collectively, “Immaterial Use”).

Section 18.2 Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises in compliance with, and shall not cause, permit or suffer the Premises to be in violation of any Environmental Law.

Section 18.3 Tenant shall cause the Premises to be kept free and clear of all Liens and other encumbrances imposed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, whether due to any act or omission of Tenant or any other Person.

Section 18.4 Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of:

(a) any use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises or the migration thereof to or from other property, in each case, during or prior to the Term (other than Immaterial Use);

(b) the commencement, institution or threat of any proceeding, inquiry or action by or written notice from any Governmental Authority with respect to the use or presence of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises or the migration thereof from or to other property, in each case, during or prior to the Term;

(c) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Tenant or the Premises relating to any damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Substance, in each case, during or prior to the Term;

(d) any occurrence or condition on the Premises, in each case, during the Term, that could cause the Premises or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use under any Environmental Law; and

(e) any claims for the incurrence of expense by any Governmental Authority or others in connection with the assessment, containment or removal of any Hazardous Substance located on, under, from or about the Premises, in each case, during or prior to the Term.

Landlord shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of any of the facts, events or circumstances set forth in (ii) and (iii) above, including all claims under Environmental Laws commenced or threatened against Landlord with respect to the Premises during the Term.

Section 18.5 Landlord and Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Premises in connection with any Environmental Law. In the event that Tenant refuses or fails to defend any such legal proceedings or actions concerning matters for which Tenant has primary responsibility under this Article XVIII, Landlord and Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation to defend proceedings or actions using counsel chosen by Landlord or Mortgagee, as applicable, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and Mortgagee for its actual, customary and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such defense.

Section 18.6 Without Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises, nor enter into any settlement, consent or compromise which might, in Landlord’s or Mortgagee’s judgment, impair the value of, respectively, Landlord’s or Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises; provided, however, that such prior consent shall not be necessary if the presence of Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably practical or possible to obtain such consent before taking such action. In such event Tenant shall notify Landlord and Mortgagee as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Such consent shall not be withheld, where such consent is required hereunder, if a particular remedial action is ordered by a court or any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction.

Section 18.7 (a) Tenant shall protect, indemnify, defend, release and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs but excluding consequential damages, punitive damages and diminution in value) directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to, in whole or in part, (i) the breach of any of the covenants, representations and warranties of this Article XVIII by Tenant, or (ii) the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, preservation, treatment, holding, processing, refining, controlling, management, abatement, removal or disposal of a Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises (whether arising during or prior to the Term) or (iii) any violation or liability under any Environmental Law arising from any other activity carried on or undertaken on the Premises by Tenant or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Tenant or any third Persons occupying or present on the Premises (whether arising during or prior to the Term), including, without limitation: (A) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans including, without limitation: (1) the costs of removal or remedial action incurred by any Governmental Authority, or response costs incurred by any other Person, or damages from injury to, destruction of, or loss of natural resources, including the costs of assessing such injury, destruction or loss, incurred pursuant to any Environmental Law; (2) the clean-up costs, fines, damages or penalties incurred pursuant to the provisions of any Legal Requirements; and (3) the cost and expenses of abatement, correction or clean-up, fines, damages, response costs or penalties which arise from the provisions of any other Legal Requirements; and (B) liability for personal injury or property damage, including damages assessed for the maintenance of the public or private nuisance, response costs or for the carrying on of an abnormally dangerous activity; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have any liability under this Section 18.7 to any Indemnified Party for such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

This indemnity is intended to be operable under 42 U.S.C. Section 9607(e)(1), and any successor section thereof and shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and any transfer of all or a portion of the Premises by Tenant.

(b) The foregoing indemnity shall in no manner be construed to limit or adversely affect Landlord’s rights under this Article XVIII, including, without limitation, Landlord’s rights to approve any Remedial Work or the contractors and consulting engineers retained in connection therewith.

Section 18.8 In the event that any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other remedial work of any kind or nature (the “Remedial Work”) is required by any Legal Requirement, or by any Governmental Authority, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after written demand for performance thereof by Landlord (or such shorter period of time as may be required under any Legal Requirement or material agreement), commence to perform, or cause to be commenced, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion within such period of time as may be required under any Legal Requirement or agreement (or as otherwise required by Landlord), all such Remedial Work at Tenant’s sole expense in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Legal Requirement or Governmental Authority, including or Environmental Law. All such Remedial Work shall be performed by one or more contractors, approved in advance in writing by Landlord and Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved in advance in writing by Landlord and Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s) and/or the consulting engineer, and Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s actual, customary and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. In the event Tenant shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to complete such Remedial Work within the time required above, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed and all reasonable costs and expenses thereof incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly upon demand, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date the same was expended and until paid (and be included in, and form a part of, Operating Lease Rent).

Section 18.9 In the event that Landlord believes that there may be a violation or threatened violation by Tenant of any Environmental Law or a violation or threatened violation by Tenant of any covenant under this Article XVIII, Landlord and Mortgagee each is authorized, but not obligated, by itself, its agents, employees or workmen to enter at any reasonable time following notice, so long as such entry does not unduly interfere with Tenant’s normal conduct of business, and is in compliance with Gaming Laws, upon any part of the Premises for the purposes of inspecting the same for Hazardous Substances and Tenant’s compliance with this Article XVIII, and such inspections may include, without limitation, soil borings. If such inspection reveals any violation of Environmental Law or violation by Tenant of any covenant under this Article XVIII, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written demand, all actual, customary and reasonable expenses, costs or other amounts incurred by Landlord or Mortgagee in performing any inspection for the purposes set forth in this Section 18.9.

Section 18.10 All costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord under this Article XVIII shall be immediately due and payable as Other Rent within ten (10) days after written demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of notice of such payment by Landlord and the expiration of any grace period provided herein until repaid.

LICENSED CASINO OPERATIONS

Section 20.1 Tenant shall operate the Premises in a manner that is substantially consistent with its current operation. Landlord is merely the owner of the real property which is the subject of this Lease and shall have no liability in connection with the operation of the Premises or the provision of gaming services from or at or near the Premises. Tenant shall have the exclusive responsibility as the operator, licensee and provider of the Premises, independent and separate from Landlord: (i) for securing and maintaining in full force and effect all material Gaming Licenses relating to such Premises and services; (ii) for compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements including without limitation all Gaming Licenses, and

(iii) for all computer systems, software, record keeping, data bases and privacy requirements relating to the Premises and the use and operation thereof that, under Legal Requirements, must be held by the holder of the Gaming Licenses, all of which shall be provided at Tenant’s own expense.

Section 20.2 For purposes of satisfying the requirements of any Loan Documents or any refinancing, sale or appraisal process, Landlord and Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to conduct such inspections, audits, visitations and quality control reviews, of the Premises and services provided by Tenant from or at the Premises as Landlord and Mortgagee may reasonably desire, and for such purposes Tenant shall provide to Landlord and its representatives, and Mortgagee and its representatives, access to Tenant’s books and records relating to the Premises and the use and operation thereof and services during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. No such inspection, audit, visitation or quality control review conducted by Landlord or its representatives or Mortgagee or its representatives or any report resulting therefrom shall modify or reduce in any way Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or as the exclusive operator, licensee and provider of the Premises.

Section 20.3 Landlord and Tenant shall be independent contractors and nothing in this Lease shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, license or franchise relationship. Tenant shall not have any authority to create any obligation binding upon Landlord.

Section 20.4 All employees, contractors, consultants, professionals and providers relating to the Premises and the use and operation thereof, and relating to [gaming] services provided from or at the Premises, shall (as between Tenant and Landlord) be deemed to be employees or contractors of Tenant and not of Landlord.

Section 20.5 Tenant shall have exclusive responsibility for all of the on-site employees, contractors and consultants of or working in connection with the Premises and the use and operation thereof, and shall indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties for all Claims by such employees, contractors and consultants which may be hired or retained by Tenant, in each case during the Term.

Section 20.6 Tenant shall have the exclusive obligation to obtain and provide at its own expense all deposits, bonds, insurance, letters of credit, working capital, cash collateral, reserves, and other financial requirements of Gaming Laws to operate and provide gaming services at the Premises.

Section 20.7 Other than pursuant to Section 4.2, Tenant shall not enter into any transaction other than in the ordinary course of its business and in material compliance with Legal Requirements and on terms not materially less favorable to Tenant than those it would obtain in a comparable arms length transaction with a Person or entity not an Affiliate.

Section 20.8 Other than pursuant to Section 4.2, Tenant shall not, without Landlord and Mortgagee’s prior written consent, assign or transfer, or delegate any responsibilities with respect to any Gaming License or Operating Permit, except (in connection with such delegation) in a manner that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 20.9 Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or pledge as collateral security any of its interest in any Gaming Licenses pertaining to Tenant or the Premises without Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or refused in Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s sole discretion. Tenant shall hold such Gaming Licenses free from restrictions or known conflicts that would materially impair the use or operation of the Premises as intended.

Section 20.10 Tenant shall cause the Premises to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including Gaming Laws, and all Gaming Licenses and other Operating Permits. Tenant shall post all required bonds, if any, with any Gaming Authority as and in the amounts required under all applicable Legal Requirements (and shall, if Landlord or Mortgagee makes a request therefor, promptly provide Landlord or Mortgagee with copies of all bonds reasonably requested by such party).

Section 20.11 Tenant shall make all filings required under the Gaming Laws, or in connection with any Gaming Licenses or Operating Permits, and shall deliver to Landlord and Mortgagee copies of such filings as such party may reasonably request. Tenant will diligently and comprehensively respond to any inquiries and requests from the Gaming Authorities and promptly file or cause to be filed any additional information required in connection with any required filings as soon as practicable after receipt of requests therefor.

Section 20.12 (a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and Mortgagee such evidence of compliance with Legal Requirements, including Gaming Laws, as any such party may reasonably request. Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord and Mortgagee any material notice of non-compliance or violation of any Legal Requirement or of any material inquiry or investigation commenced by the Gaming Authorities in connection with the Premises, in each case that might have a Material Adverse Effect. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord and Mortgagee if it believes that any material license, including any material Gaming License, is in imminent danger of being revoked or suspended, or that any material action is pending, being considered or being, or could be, taken to revoke or suspend Tenant’s material licenses, including the material Gaming Licenses, or to fine, penalize or impose remedies upon Tenant, or that any action is pending, being considered, or being, or could be, taken to discontinue, suspend, deny, decrease or recoup any payments due, made or coming due to Tenant, in each case if same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord and Mortgagee any notice received by Tenant alleging or relating to the non-compliance by Tenant with any material Legal Requirements, including material Gaming Laws, if same is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and Mortgagee, promptly after receipt thereof, notices regarding or correspondence or materials filed in connection with any actions, suits, and proceedings before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator that would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant or the Premises.

(d) Tenant shall provide Landlord and Mortgagee reasonable notice of any and all material settlement discussions and/or negotiations between representatives of Tenant and any Governmental Authority, including without limitation, negotiations with respect to any material Claim, settlement agreement, consent order or corporate integrity agreement between Tenant and/or its Affiliates and any Governmental Authority (“Settlement Discussions”). In connection with material Settlement Discussions, (i) Tenant shall timely provide Landlord and Mortgagee with copies of any and all documents that Tenant intends to submit, or that Tenant receives, in connection with any Settlement Discussions, and (ii) Tenant shall advise Landlord and Mortgagee as to the status of such Settlement Discussions.

(e) No receipts of any such notice under this Section shall impose any obligation on Landlord or Mortgagee to take any action or to enforce its rights hereunder or otherwise remedy the circumstances leading to such notice.

Section 20.13 Subject in each case to Force Majeure, Tenant shall cause the [Casino Components] to be open for business as a [casino], except to the extent necessary to undertake any alterations or repairs (subject to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the performance of any such alterations or repairs). Tenant shall cause the Premises to be at all times operated, managed and maintained, at all times and in the manner and accordance with the standards required pursuant to this Lease and all applicable material Legal Requirements.

Section 20.14 If Landlord shall be in default under this Lease, then (subject to any applicable Legal Requirements) Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under this Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Landlord under this Lease, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default provided such actions are necessary to protect Mortgagee’s interest under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and Mortgagee shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the affected Premises at such times and in such manner as Mortgagee deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default. The actions or payments of Mortgagee to cure any default by Landlord under this Lease shall not remove or waive, as between Landlord and Mortgagee, any default that may occur or occurred under the Mortgage Loan Documents by virtue of such default by Landlord under this Lease.

Section 20.15 Tenant shall notify Mortgagee promptly in writing of (i) the occurrence, to Tenant’s knowledge, of any material default by any party to this Lease, (ii) the occurrence, to Tenant’s knowledge, of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by any party under this Lease, and (iii) the receipt by Tenant of any notice (written or otherwise) from any party under this Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease.

Section 20.16 Tenant shall (subject to any applicable Legal Requirements) promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Mortgagee to cure any default under this Lease or permit Mortgagee to take such other action required to enable Mortgagee to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to the Premises.

Section 20.17 Tenant possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, certificates, approvals and consents, including, without limitation, all environmental, liquor, Gaming Licenses, health and safety licenses of all Governmental Authorities which are material to the conduct of its business and the use, occupation and operation of the Premises (collectively, “Operating Permits”); each such Operating Permit is and will be in full force and effect (unless, in the case of any one Operating Permit, such Operating Permit is no longer necessary or advisable for the conduct of Tenant’s business); Tenant and each of its Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all such Operating Permits, and no event (including, without limitation, any material violation of any law, rule or regulation) has occurred which would be reasonably likely to lead to the revocation or termination of any such Operating Permit or the imposition of any restriction thereon.

Section 20.18 Tenant hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Each Gaming License is in full force and effect (except for such Gaming Licenses as are no longer necessary or advisable for the conduct of Tenant’s business); Tenant and each of its Affiliates, respective directors, members, managers, officers, key personnel and Persons holding a five percent (5%) or greater equity or economic interest directly or indirectly in Tenant are in compliance in all material respects with all such Gaming Licenses (to the extent required by applicable law), and no event (including, without limitation, any violation of any Legal Requirements) has occurred which would be reasonably likely to lead to the revocation or termination of any such Gaming Licenses or the imposition of any restriction thereon;

(c) Tenant is not in default in any material respect under, or in violation in any material respect of, any such Gaming License (and no event has occurred, and no condition exists, which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder or violation thereof that has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of any such Gaming License) unless such Gaming License is no longer necessary or advisable for the conduct of Tenant’s business;

(d) Tenant has not received any notice of any violation of applicable Legal Requirements which has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause any such Gaming License to be suspended, forfeited, modified in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on Tenant or the Premises or the business conducted thereat, not renewed, rescinded or revoked;

(e) No condition exists or event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, rescission or non-renewal of any such Gaming License; and

(f) The continuation, validity and effectiveness of all Gaming Licenses will not be adversely affected by the transactions contemplated by this Lease.

Section 20.19 There is no proceeding, investigation, or disciplinary action (including, without limitation, before any Gaming Authority, under any Gaming Law or under any Gaming License or other Operating Permit) pending or, threatened against Tenant or any of their respective directors, members, managers, officers, key personnel or Persons holding a five percent (5%) or greater direct or indirect equity or economic interest in Tenant that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Tenant or the Premises.

Section 20.20 Neither the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents (nor the Securitization or any participations in the Mortgage Loan, or the creation or sale of any of the Mezzanine Loans) will (i) require the consent of any Gaming Authority, other than those obtained or made prior to the date hereof (and except as disclosed in an opinion of counsel delivered concurrently herewith to Lender), or (ii) allow or result in the imposition of any material penalty under, or the revocation or termination of, any Gaming License or any material impairment of the rights of the holder of any Gaming License.

Section 20.21 Tenant is not a party to or otherwise bound by any agreements with Persons or organizations, which deviate in any material adverse respect from, or which conflict with, any Legal Requirements.

All of the above-described property is either leased or licensed from Landlord or is described in the exclusions contained in clauses (vii) and (viii) of Section 2.6(a) hereof.

Section 20.25 The Premises and the use thereof complies in all material respects with all material Legal Requirements including, without limitation, local, state, and federal building codes, fire codes, and other similar regulatory requirements.

Section 20.27 The parties acknowledge that Tenant and Tenant’s Affiliates, which are experienced operators of gaming and casino facilities similar to the operations conducted at the Premises, have conducted all of their own due diligence, examination and inspection regarding the Premises (and the use thereof) and are entirely familiar with all business, financial, liability, physical premises, operational and regulatory aspects, and every other matter or thing affecting or related to the gaming business operated at the Premises, and that Tenant is leasing the same in its “As Is” condition. Landlord has not made and does not make any representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the gaming business conducted at and from the Premises or otherwise with respect to this Lease, express or implied, and Tenant is not relying on Landlord or its Affiliates in connection with any decision to enter into this Lease.

Section 21.10 Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other party that such party has not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with this Lease and Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify the other party and save the other party harmless from any and all claims for brokerage commissions by any other Person, firm, corporation or other entity claiming through such party to have brought about this Lease transaction. The provisions of this Section 21.10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 21.11 Tenant is and shall be in exclusive control and possession of the Premises (except as expressly permitted hereunder) and Tenant shall operate the Premises for their intended purposes at Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion without control, interference or direction from Landlord or agents of Landlord (except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Lease), and Landlord shall not, in any event whatsoever, be liable for any injury or damage to any property or to any Person happening in, on or about the Premises, nor for any injury or damage to any property of Tenant, or of any other Person or Persons contained therein unless the same is caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions hereof, including without limitation Article XVII, permitting Landlord to enter and inspect the Premises are made for the purpose of enabling Landlord to be informed as to whether Tenant is complying with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions hereof, and if Landlord so desires, to do such acts as Tenant shall fail to do. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interests in the Premises for recovery of any judgment from Landlord and in no event shall Landlord (or its partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors or Affiliates) ever be personally liable for any such judgment.

Section 21.17 Landlord and Tenant each waive any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease and irrevocably waive, any claim or defense which asserts that this Lease is anything other than a true lease. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that they will not assert that this Lease is anything but a true lease for all purposes hereunder. Landlord and Tenant each stipulate and agree not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Premises as a true lease and further stipulate and agree that nothing contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like. Landlord or Tenant each shall support the intent of the parties that this Lease of the Premises pursuant to this Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.

Section 21.18 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s obligations to pay rent hereunder, and the rights of Landlord in and to such Operating Lease Rent, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. Except as expressly provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease or to be released, relieved, or discharged from any obligations or liabilities hereunder (including, without limitation, the payment of Operating Lease Rent) or entitled to any abatement, suspension, determent, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the following reasons:

(a) Any defect in, damage to, or destruction of, the Premises or any portion thereof;

(b) Any condemnation, confiscation, requisition, or other taking or sale of the possession, use, occupancy, or title to the Premises or any portion thereof;

(c) Any limitation, restriction, deprivation, or prevention of, or any interference with, the use, occupancy, or possession of the Premises or any portion thereof;

(d) Any set-off, abatement, counterclaim, suspension, recoupment, reduction, rescission, defense or other right or claim that Tenant may have against Landlord, any vendor or manufacturer of or contractor or subcontractor for the Premises or any part of any thereof, or any other person for any reason whatsoever;

(e) The inadequacy, incorrectness, or failure of the description of the Premises or any portion thereof;

(f) Any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting Landlord, any assignee of Landlord, or Tenant or any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any receiver, trustee, or liquidator (or other similar official), or by any court;

(g) Force Majeure;

(h) Any title defect, lien or matter affecting title to the Premises or eviction by paramount title or otherwise; or

(i) Any default by Landlord under this Lease or the impossibility or illegality of performance by Landlord, Tenant or both.

Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights that it may now have or that at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by applicable law or otherwise, to modify, terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Lease or to effect or claim any diminution or reduction of Operating Lease Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, except in accordance with the express terms hereof. Tenant agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise (except as expressly permitted under this Lease), then Tenant shall pay, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to Landlord or any other Person entitled thereto, an amount equal to each installment of Operating Lease Rent at the time such payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not been terminated in whole or in part. Each payment of Operating Lease Rent made by Tenant hereunder shall be final and Tenant shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from Landlord or any Person for any reason whatsoever. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that the Operating Lease Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been abated, reduced or terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.

Irrespective of the place of execution and/or delivery of this Lease or the location of the Premises, this Lease shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with, the Legal Requirements of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York without regards to conflicts of law principles, provided, however, that if, notwithstanding such agreement as to the application of the governing law of the State of New York by the parties, Legal Requirements in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located require local law to govern particular claims under this Lease, then to the extent of such requirement, such local law shall govern. Landlord and Tenant hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in New York with respect to any claim or litigation arising hereunder or any alleged breach of the covenants or provisions contained herein, and

acknowledge that proper venue in any matter so claimed or litigated shall be in the state and Federal courts located in New York; provided, however, that (1) Landlord shall be permitted, in addition, if required by Legal Requirement in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located, to bring any action against Tenant and/or to enforce this Lease in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located and (2) Tenant shall be permitted, in addition, if required by Legal Requirement in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located to bring any action against Landlord and/or to enforce this Lease in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located.

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Landlord or a Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 21.22 Regulatory Provisions.

(b) Landlord agrees to cooperate, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with all applicable Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Tenant and its subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to Tenant or to the Lease and Landlord and Mortgagee, by their acceptance hereof, acknowledge that each of them and their respective assignees are subject to being called forward by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability in order to remain entitled to the benefits of the Lease and the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Landlord and Mortgagee expressly acknowledge and agree that the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under this Lease is subject to the mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord and Mortgagee, by their acceptance hereof, acknowledge, understand and agree that, to the extent the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities is required pursuant to applicable law for the exercise, operation and effectiveness of any right or remedy hereunder, or the taking of any action that may be taken by Landlord or Mortgagee hereunder, including, without limitation, the taking of possession and disposition of collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering systems and mobile gaming systems (as those terms are defined in the Gaming Laws), such right or remedy shall be subject to such prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities.]
