LICENSE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 12th day of March 1999, between Rite Aid Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Licensor"), and Corral Coin, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Licensee"). Licensee and Licensor are collectively referred to as "the Parties".

1. Purpose. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Licensee shall have the exclusive right to operate certain gaming devices (the "Devices") within each of the stores operated by Licensor in the State of Nevada which are designated on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Licensed Locations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an off-site replacement of a Licensed Location which constitutes a "replacement store" in accordance with Licensor's internal policies, which opens concurrently with the closing of the Licensed Location it is replacing, and which is located not more than two miles from the Licensed Location it is replacing, shall not constitute a new location for purposes of this Agreement. Licensee shall have the exclusive right to operate Devices within each replacement store.

2. License. Licensor hereby grants to Licensee the use of such amount of space (the "Gaming Space") as is reasonably required to set up the number of Devices currently permitted at such Licensed Location. The Gaming Space shall be located as close to the entrance and checkstand of the Licensed Location as is reasonably practicable with the exact location and square footage of the Gaming Space to be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. Upon agreement of the Gaming Space, Licensor will not change location of, or reduce the Gaming Space without Licensee's written consent. Licensee is hereby granted an exclusive right to operate up to the maximum number of Devices currently allowed by the State of Nevada in each of the Licensed Locations. However, Licensee may not operate fewer than RCT Devices at any Licensed Location in Xxxxx County or the city limits of either Reno or Xxxxxx City.

3. Term. The term of the license for each Licensed Location shall begin on RCT and shall expire at midnight on RCT. Licensee shall have first right of refusal as against any other licensed operator to operate the Devices on the premises of the Licensed Locations upon the expiration of this Agreement. On or before the expiration of this Agreement, and upon Licensor's disclosure to Licensee of the terms of another licensed operator's firm offer, Licensee shall have thirty days to notify Licensor of its intention to match such offer.

If less than RCT locations in operation, monthly fee for New Locations is the amount listed above for the period RCT through RCT.

(2) For New Locations outside of Xxxxx County or Reno/Xxxxxx City, the monthly fee will be mutually agreed upon by the Parties based on factors associated with each New Location.

c. During the term of this Agreement, if Licensor opens or acquires any New Location and Licensor determines to include Devices at such New Location, Exhibit A hereto shall be amended to include such New Location. In the case of a New Location opened or acquired on or after RCT, the fees due pursuant to this Section 4 with respect to such New Location shall be RCT of the then monthly fee during the RCT period following the date such New Location is opened for business by Licensor; provided, that if Licensor has not taken all steps required to be taken by it to permit Licensee to commence operations at such New Location, the RCT shall not commence until all such actions have been taken.

d. In the event an Existing Location is closed for renovation for a period of RCT or more, the Fees with respect to such renovated Existing Location shall be RCT of the then applicable monthly fee due pursuant to this Section 4 during the RCT period following the date such renovated Existing Location is reopened for business by Licensor; provided, that if Licensor has not taken all steps required to be taken by it to permit Licensee to recommence operations at such Existing Location, the RCT period shall not commence until all such actions have been taken.

e. The above fee shall be due and payable on the first day of each month. Fees for any partial month shall be prorated.

f. In the event that (i) Licensor should effect a material reduction in the hours of operation of the Licensed Locations, from the hours of operation in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (ii) there should be a change in the laws or regulations applicable to the operation of gaming devices in retail food and drug facilities which has the effect of materially reducing the revenues received by Licensee from its operation of the Devices hereunder, or (iii) a smoking ban is imposed at a Licensed Location by either Federal, state or local authorities, or by the terms of a lease agreement between Licensor and a third party, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at an equitable adjustment to the terms of this Agreement.
