Lessor agrees to, and hereby does, transfer and convey all right, title, and interest in and to the Alley Properties described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to Lessee. Lessor agrees to execute any other documents, including a quitclaim deed, that may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this paragraph.

S. & Y. harmless from any and all liability or cost associated therewith.
2. Paragraph 3(a), (b), and (c) of the original Lease, together with Paragraph 1 of the Amendment to Lease dated January 1, 1978, are hereby deleted in their entirety and are amended and substituted as follows:
RENTAL DUPING TERM OF LEASE:
(a) Commencing January 1, 1985, and for the balance of the term of the Lease, the rental for the Demised Premises shall be either the amount provided for in subparagraph (i), or subparagraph (ii) set forth below, whichever is greater.
(i) There shall be a guaranteed minimum annual rent in the sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (hereinafter referred to as “Basic Rental”). This Basic Rental shall not be subject to any adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index or otherwise during the remaining term of this Lease.
(ii) A sum equal to three percent (3%) of the gross gaming revenues for the first Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000) of such gross gaming revenues, one percent (1%) of the gross gaming revenues in excess of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000) up to Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000), and one-fourth of one percent (.25%) of gross gaming revenues in excess of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) up to Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), and one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of all gross gaming revenues in excess of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000). In addition thereto, for a period of five (5) years commencing January 1, 1985, Lessee shall pay an additional one-fourth of one percent (.25%) of all gross gaming revenues in excess of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) up to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000). Gross gaming revenue for the purposes of this Agreement shall include all gaming revenues received by Lessee from all gaming operations on the city block on which the Demised Premises is located including future expansions thereon that may be undertaken by Lessee, and the gross gaming revenue for the purposes of this Agreement shall be computed as follows:
The total of all amounts received from gaming operations, as winnings, less the total of all amounts paid out, from gaming operations, as losses. In computing winnings, no revenue shall be recognized on noncash
promotional items, or uncollected credit play. In computing losses, no deductions shall be allowed for noncash promotional payout or for the provision of anticipated payouts on progressive slot machines. Additionally, a deduction will be allowed for uncollected returned checks which were cashed for gaming purposes.
(b) The rental payments due under paragraph (a) above shall be paid as follows:
(i) The Basic Rental payable under subparagraph (a) (i) above shall be payable in monthly installments in the amount of Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($33,333.33).
(ii) To the extent that the amount payable under subparagraph (a) (ii) above is greater than the amount payable under subparagraph (a) (i) for any calendar year, the difference shall be payable within ninety (90) days after each calendar year.
(c) Lessee shall make available for inspection by Lessor’s duly authorized agent a copy of all gaming tax reports filed with the State of Nevada for the purposes of determining gross gaming revenues and copies of the result of any audits of the gaming revenue by representatives of the State of Nevada. In addition, the independent auditors of the Lessee shall provide the Lessor written confirmation after the completion of their examination of Lessee’s financial statements for each year, that their opinion on the financial statements was unqualified, or if their opinion was qualified in any respect related to the gross gaming revenue, the independent auditors shall provide the reasons for such qualification to the Lessor. The Lessor may, at any time and at its own expense, obtain its own independent audit of the gross gaming revenue, provided that it does not interfere with the conduct of normal business operations by the Lessee or the audits which are in progress by the State of Nevada or the Lessee’s independent auditors.
3. Lessor shall have no right, title, and interest to any of the Expansion Property or the Alley Properties or any improvements located thereon.
4. Lessee shall have the right to encumber the Existing Eldorado with a first mortgage or first deed of trust for financing for purposes other than substantial improvements, alterations or construction on the Demised
Premises and the Lease of the Demised Premises shall be subordinate to said mortgage or deed of trust; provided, however, that such financing shall be limited in amount to eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Existing Eldorado, shall be at a prevailing rate of interest, shall not extend beyond the term of the Lease and shall be with a National or State Banking Institution authorized to do business in the State of Nevada. If the parties are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Existing Eldorado, an M.A.I. Appraiser shall be mutually selected by the parties who shall appraise the Existing Eldorado. The Appraiser’s determination of fair market value shall be the value for the purposes of this provision. Lessee may enter into a binding agreement for such financing and the subordination of this Lease shall be effective automatically without further act of Lessor and Lessor hereby consents thereto. Lessor agrees to execute and deliver any such first mortgage or first deed of trust or any other documents or instruments that may be required by a lender to effectuate the subordination of this Lease. After July 1, 2007, the automatic subordination as set forth herein shall terminate and thereafter any subordination of this Lease will require the written approval of the Lessor; which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
5. All other terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement dated July 21, 1972, together with amendments thereto, except as otherwise provided herein or inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have caused this Amendment to Lease to be executed and have affixed their
signatures the day and year first written above.
