Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1.INTEREST. The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11% per annum from _______ until maturity (except as otherwise described below). The Authority will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”) to the holders of record on the preceding March 1 and September 1, respectively. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest with respect to the Notes, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be ___________. The Authority shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

[The interest payment on the Notes due on September 15, 2012 will be payable entirely in cash.] For any [subsequent] interest period through March 15, 2018, the Authority may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Notes entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) or by paying the interest in a combination of (i) Cash Interest and (ii) increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Notes or issuing Additional Notes (either option pursuant to this clause (ii), “PIK Interest”). If the Authority elects to pay interest on the Notes with PIK Interest in any period, Cash Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 9% per annum and PIK interest will accrue for such period at a rate of 2% per annum. If the Authority elects to pay any PIK Interest, it will increase the principal amount of the Notes or issue Additional Notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest payment period (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) to Holders on the relevant record date. The Authority must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each interest period by delivering a notice to the Trustee at least five business days prior to the beginning of each interest period. The Trustee will promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of such an election, interest on the Notes will be payable in the form paid for the prior interest period. After March 15, 2018 the Authority will make all interest payments on the Notes entirely in cash. PIK Interest will be payable (x) with respect to Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of, or held by, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (or any successor depositary) or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding global notes, effective as of the applicable interest payment date, by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) and (y) with respect to Notes represented by certificated notes, by issuing Additional Notes in certificated form, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) and the Trustee will, at the request of the Authority, authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes in certificated form for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant record date, as shown in the records of the Registrar. The payment of PIK Interest according to sections (x) and (y) of this paragraph shall be known as a “PIK Payment.”

Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented by global notes as a result of a PIK Payment, such Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any Additional Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. All Additional Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on September 15, 2018 and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and privileges as the Initial Notes. Any certificated Additional Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of each such Additional Note.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Authority will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Authority maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Authority, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall hold at least $1.0 million in principal amount of Notes and have provided wire transfer instructions to the Authority and the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be made in accordance with those instructions.

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Authority may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Authority may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Authority issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2012 (“Indenture”) among the Authority, The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Tribe”), the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

At any time or from time to time, the Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of Article 3 of the Indenture, if any Gaming Regulatory Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming laws in order to obtain or maintain any gaming license or franchise of the Authority under any applicable gaming laws, and the Holder or beneficial owner fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so by such Gaming Regulatory Authority (or such lesser period that may be required by such Gaming Regulatory Authority) or if such Holder or beneficial owner is not so licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Authority has the right, at its option, (i) to require such Holder or beneficial owner to dispose of such

Holder’s or beneficial owner’s Notes within 30 days of receipt of such notice of such finding by the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority); or (ii) to call for redemption of the Notes of such Holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof and (2) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes, together with, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Regulatory Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so ordered by such Gaming Regulatory Authority. The Authority shall not be required to pay or reimburse any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes who is required to apply for any such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs of the licensure or investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability. Such expenses shall be the obligation of such Holder or beneficial owner.

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Authority shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a)    If there is a Change of Control, the Authority shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 20 Business Days following any Change of Control, the Authority shall deliver a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b)    If the Authority or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within five Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Authority will make an offer to repurchase the Notes, together with any senior subordinated Indebtedness ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and containing similar provisions requiring the Authority to make an offer to purchase such pari passu senior subordinated Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale, pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any), pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of such pari passu senior subordinated Indebtedness (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) and the Notes (the “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) (the “Collateral Asset Sale Offer Price”). The offer price in any Collateral Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and will be payable in cash, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and such other pari passu senior subordinated Indebtedness. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Authority may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu senior subordinated Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu senior subordinated Indebtedness (to the extent that such other senior subordinated Indebtedness permits such selection) to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed, provided Additional Notes may be redeemed in whole regardless of the amounts thereof. On and after the Redemption Date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000, except that Additional Notes issued as a result of a PIK Payment may be issued in denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple thereof, and any increase in the principal amount of Notes as a result of a PIK Payment may be made in integral multiples of $1.00. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Authority may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Authority need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
