4.10. Nothing in this Section 4 shall constitute a waiver of any immunity which Landlord may be entitled to under the laws of the State of Maryland, as they may be amended from time to time.

Section 5. Improvements to Premises.

5.1. General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5., Tenant shall not make any structural alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises, nor raze any improvement, without first obtaining Landlord's written consent thereto, except that Landlord has given its prior approval for the repairs and improvements listed in Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to withdraw and withhold such prior approval for all such repairs and improvements if, pursuant to Landlords review of final plans and specifications for such repairs and improvements under Section 5 of this Lease, the final plans and specifications for such repairs and improvements (i) are materially inconsistent with the plans included in Exhibit E, (ii) fail to comply with state or local code or regulations pertaining to the protection of natural resources that Landlord identifies as needing such protection (including, but not limited to, protection of water quality and animal and plant species), (iii) are materially inconsistent with the requirements contained in the Request for Proposals # 2012-0102, or (iv) fail to comply with the 2000 Maryland Stormwater Design Manual (as the same may be amended) pertaining to stormwater management. The following procedures shall be utilized by Tenant to invoke Landlord's approval process required by this Section 5.1.

5.1.1. Minor. Tenant shall be permitted to make minor non-structural alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises which will cause no disturbance to the existing conditions of the land without Landlord’s consent, provided that Tenant submits a plan for such alteration, improvement or addition to the Area Manager at the notice address set forth in Section 12.

5.1.2. Major. When Tenant desires to make structural alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises which entail a change in land use or cause a disturbance to the existing conditions of the land (i.e. new construction, grading, excavation, clearing of trees, etc.), Tenant shall submit a detailed written request for approval to the Assistant Secretary for Land Resources at the notice address set forth in Section 12, with a copy to the Area Manager. A request which involves disturbance to the existing conditions of the land shall require an internal environmental review by appropriate units of the Department of Natural Resources before Landlord approval can be given. In the event the request involves a change in land use, Landlord will need to obtain Clearinghouse Approval which requires input from other State agencies and is coordinated by the Maryland Office of Planning. Landlord will be diligent in receiving approval from the Clearinghouse Review but cannot commit to the timing of receipt of such approval. In the event that Landlord approval is capable of being given without consent or approval from another governmental entity, Landlord shall make a good faith effort to issue such approval within sixty (60) days of receipt of a complete proposal. If Landlord fails to render a decision within said sixty (60) days, Tenant may deem such approval to be granted so long as Landlord has not requested additional time in which to respond.

Page 12

If Landlord consents to any such proposed alteration, addition, improvement or razing, it shall be made at Tenant's sole expense (and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any cost incurred on account thereof), and at such time and in such manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of the remainder of the Park by Landlord, any tenant thereof or other person. Any improvements made to the Premises by Tenant shall be made only in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, and plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord.

5.1.3. Tenant shall not (a) cause or allow any of its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, assigns or invitees to cause the escape, disposal or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous substances or materials in amounts in excess of any legal requirement, (b) allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law, or (c) allow any such materials or substances to be brought onto or near the premises, except as may be necessary to performing the obligations undertaken by Tenant hereunder. For purposes of this Lease, “Hazardous Substances and Materials” shall include, without limitation, those described in the Comprehensive Environmental response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended; any similar and applicable federal, state or local laws relating to environmental requirements; and the regulations adopted under these acts. The Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the State, its officers, employees and agents, against and from any liability, claim of liability or expense arising out of any release of hazardous materials on the Premises or Park caused by Tenant’s use thereof, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or any person acting under Tenant.

10.3. Permitted Assignments and Subleases. Pursuant to Section 10-305 of the State Finance and Procurement Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, any sublease or assignment or any other transfer or change of control in or of the Tenant or leasehold estate on property owned by the State of Maryland is subject to the prior approval of the State of Maryland Board of Public Works. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 10.5 below, the State of Maryland Board of Public Works hereby approves Tenant’s granting of a First Leasehold Mortgage for purposes of financing the improvements and performance obligations required of Tenant under this Lease, with all proceeds being used solely for purposes of the project contemplated herein.

The State of Maryland Board of Public Works also approves the assignment of this Lease to the First Leasehold Mortgagee, in the event of a default under said First Leasehold Mortgage uncured within the applicable notice and grace periods under said First Leasehold Mortgage, which gives rise to an assignment, sublease or other transfer of the leasehold estate to the First Leasehold Mortgagee, provided however, that the First Leasehold Mortgagee gives the Landlord a copy of any notice of default pursuant to the First Leasehold Mortgage, and notice of its intention to foreclose pursuant to the First Leasehold Mortgage.

Code, State finance & Procurement Article, §11-101 (r) and makes the certification required in Md. Code, State Finance & Procurement Article § 13-222; (b) provides working capital for the Project equal to at least six months worth of operating expenses as determined by the project’s budget for the most recent Operating Year; (c) is capable of curing all uncured Events of Default existing at the time of the assignment of the Lease; (d) has business experience equivalent or superior to the Tenant with regards to operating the Premises as a first class hotel/resort, championship golf course, and video lottery venue if the project is being operated by an Operator other than Tenant, has an Operator meeting the approval of the Board of Public Works, and (e) is acceptable to Landlord as a reasonable replacement to Tenant. In the event either the Landlord or the State of Maryland Board of Public Works fails to respond within forty-five (45) days to a request for approval as required in this Section, such request shall be deemed approved.

Page 24

The Landlord and the State of Maryland Board of Public Works may also condition their consent to any assignment of this Lease upon the entry by such assignee into an agreement with Tenant (and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord and the State of Maryland Board of Public Works), providing for such assignee’s assumption of all of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

10.3.1. In the event that Tenant’s video lottery operation license terminates prior to the termination of this Lease and Tenant elects to have its Leasehold Interest purchased in full (i.e. a buyout of Tenant’s interest in the premises), the Maryland Board of Public Works hereby conditionally approves the assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, subject to any such assignee satisfying the above-referenced criteria and conditions as prerequisites for the Board’s approval.

10.4. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Section 10, in the event that Tenant’s video lottery operation license terminates prior to the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be allowed to (a) continue as Tenant under this Lease and shall be permitted to sublease the Premises to any successor holder of a video lottery operation license to operate video lottery on the Premises; or (b) terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days advance written notice to Landlord.

Tenant shall in good faith negotiate a sublease within ninety (90) days of the selection of a successor license holder. Failure to negotiate in good faith or to execute a sublease of the premises on terms acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and/or a successor Licensee shall constitute a default under this Lease.

The Landlord and the State of Maryland Board of Public Works may condition its consent of any sublease, upon being reasonably satisfied with the terms and conditions of any sublease agreement entered into by the Tenant. Sublease agreements shall not in any way conflict with the terms of this Lease, and shall require that the subtenant carry the same liability insurance and indemnify the State of Maryland and the Landlord to the same extent as required by the Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in advance by the Landlord and the State of Maryland Board of Public works, the sublease agreement shall provide that it shall automatically terminate in the event this Lease expires or is earlier terminated.

Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the future reasonable requests of Tenant or its financing provider(s) to execute such additional documents to accommodate reasonable requests by Tenant’s financing provider(s) for a security interest in Tenant’s leasehold interest in the demised Premises including, but not limited to, (a) an agreement to provide notice to Tenant’s financing provider(s) in the event of a default by Tenant, (b) an agreement to provide Tenant’s financing provider(s) a reasonable opportunity to cure in the event of a default by Tenant, (c) an acknowledgement by Tenant’s financing provider(s) that any equipment and trade fixtures installed on the demised Premises by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant and shall not become a fixture owned by the Landlord, subject to Section 5.2. of this Lease.

At the time Tenant enters into a leasehold mortgage or other such lender-held leasehold security interest (“Leasehold Mortgage”), there shall be no uncured Event of Default under this Lease (and no event or condition shall exist which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default). Landlord agrees to provide to a prospective Mortgagee an estoppel certificate as to such facts and based on Landlord’s knowledge, in conjunction with the granting of a Leasehold Mortgage.

All rights of a Mortgagee acquired under a Leasehold Mortgage shall be and are subject to each of the provisions set forth in this Lease, and to all rights and interests of Landlord under this Lease and its fee simple interest in the Property, and each Leasehold Mortgage shall state by its terms that it is subordinate and subject to Landlord’s interests under this Lease in all respects.

Section 11. Default.

11.1. Definition. It shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) if (a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent, or other sum which it is obligated to pay by any provision of this Lease, when and as due and payable hereunder and without demand therefore, or to perform any of its other obligations under the provisions of this Lease, or if Tenant’s License is ever revoked or otherwise terminated for cause; or (b) Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under the provisions of this Lease.

11.2. Notice; Grace period. Anything contained in the provisions of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting party shall not exercise any right or remedy on account thereof which it holds under any provision of this Lease or applicable law unless and until

Page 26

11.2.1. the non-defaulting party has given written notice thereof to defaulting party, and

11.2.2. Defaulting party has failed, (a) if such Event of Default consists of Tenant’s failure to pay money, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord gives such written notice to pay all of such money, or (b) if such Event of Default consists of something other than a failure to pay money, within thirty (30) days after the non-defaulting party gives such written notice to cure such Event of Default (or, if such Event of Default is not reasonably curable within such period of thirty (30) days, to begin to cure such Event of Default within such thirty (30) day period and to diligently pursue such cure thereafter until it is fully cured. In the event that the defaulting party is unable to fully cure such Event of Default within ninety (90) days, the non-defaulting party, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to exercise any and all of defaulting party’s rights on event of default contained in this Lease.

11.2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of default shall be required to be given, and (even if Landlord gives such notice) the defaulting party shall be entitled to no such grace period, (i) in any emergency situation in which, in the non-defaulting party’s reasonable judgment, it is necessary for the non-defaulting party to act to cure such Event of Default without giving such notice, or (ii) if an Event of Default occurs more than twice during any twelve (12) month period (regardless of whether the current Event of Default is the same as any previous Event of Default for which a notice was given).

11.3. Landlord's Rights on Tenant’s Event of Default.

11.3.1. On the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may (subject to the operation and effect of the provisions of subsection 11.2.)

(a) terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such termination to Tenant, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such notice or any later date therefore specified by Landlord therein and upon such termination repossess the Premises in accordance with the requirements of applicable law; and/or

(b) cure such Event of Default in any other manner; and/or

(c) pursue any combination of such remedies and/or any other right of remedy available to Landlord on account of such Event of Default under this Lease and/or at law or in equity.

Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice Landlord’s right to damages, by reason of such termination.

Page 27

11.3.2. On the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall, immediately on its receipt of a written demand therefore from Landlord, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount sufficient to reimburse Landlord for (a) all expenses (including, by way of example rather than of limitation, any and all repossession costs, management expenses, operating expenses, reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord (i) in curing or seeking to cure any Event of Default and/or (ii) in exercising or seeking to exercise any of Landlord's rights and remedies under the provisions of this Lease and/or at law or in equity on account of any Event of Default, and/or (iii) otherwise arising out of any Event of Default.

11.4. Tenant’s Rights on Landlord’s Event of Default. On the occurrence of any Event of Default by Landlord, Tenant may (subject to the operation and effect of the provisions of subsection 11.2.) pursue any legal remedy available to Tenant on account of such Event of Default.

Section 12. Notices. Any notice, demand, consent, approval, request or other communication or document to be provided hereunder to a party hereto shall be (a) given in writing, and (b) deemed to have been given (i) forty-eight (48) hours after being sent by certified or registered mail in the United States mails, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, if to Landlord: Department of Natural Resources, c/o Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Assistant Secretary for Land Resources, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, with a copy to: Department of Natural Resources, c/o Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Director, Land and Property Management, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, with a copy to: Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Park Manager, Rocky Gap State Park, 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, and if to Tenant: Xxxxx X.

Section 13. Taxes. The Tenant shall pay, prior to the accrual of any interest or penalties thereon, all governmental impositions (including, without limitation, taxes of every kind and nature whatsoever) and assessments, if any, lawfully levied or assessed upon or in respect of the Property, or upon any part thereof or upon any Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) therefrom.
