instead, will be made pursuant to separate agreements entered into between the
Issuer and the providers of FF&E Financing. In order to account for such FF&E
Financing for purposes of tracking the progress and status of the Facility

Consultant will confirm the Issuer's certifications and representations to the
extent set forth in the certificates to be submitted by the Independent
Construction Consultant hereunder from time to time unless the Independent
Construction
21

its confirmation. Upon request by the Disbursement Agent or the Independent
Construction Consultant, the Issuer shall cause the providers of such FF&E
Financing to confirm the amounts drawn and the amounts available to be drawn

Construction Disbursement Account to the PFC Payment Account in an amount equal
to the total Permitted Land-Based Project Costs shown on the attached copy of
the completed Bond Requisition or (ii) request that amounts be Disbursed from
the Construction Disbursement Account to the PFC Payment Account to fund or
replenish the Company's Direct Payment Account in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(b) All amounts transferred from the Construction

in SECTION 8 of the Bond Purchase Agreement have been satisfied or waived; and
(ii) (1) in the case of clause (a)(i), instruct the
Disbursement Agent to immediately transfer such funds from the PFC Payment

the conditions precedent to Disbursements in accordance with the requirements of
this Agreement. The Disbursement Agent's transfer of funds from the Construction
Disbursement Account to the PFC Payment Account and thereafter to the Bond
Trustee's Construction Disbursement Account or the Company's Direct Disbursement
Account, as instructed in such Construction Disbursement Request, shall make
funds available from time to time for PFC to purchase the Bonds and for loans to
be made to Premier to pay Permitted Land-Based Project Costs in accordance with
the Bond Financing Documents and SECTION 5.9 hereof.

determining that the conditions specified in SECTIONS 4.2.2(a) THROUGH 4.2.2(f)
have been satisfied unless the Disbursement Agent shall have Knowledge that such
certifications are inaccurate; and
(l) Concurrently with the submission of the Construction
Disbursement Request, the Issuer shall submit an Available Construction Funds
Certificate to the Disbursement Agent, the Trustee and the Independent
Construction Consultant in accordance with SECTION 5.4 and, if applicable, a
Tidelands Lease Certificate to the Disbursement Agent in accordance with SECTION
6.1.
4.2.3 NON-SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS. In the event that the
Disbursement Agent determines that any conditions of SECTION 4.2.2 described
above has not been satisfied in respect of any Construction Disbursement Request
and so long as such conditions are not satisfied, the Disbursement Agent shall
not authorize any disbursement of funds from the Construction Disbursement
Account pursuant to a Construction Disbursement Request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the
following payments may be made by the Disbursement Agent:
30
(a) if all other conditions in SECTION 4.1 and
SECTION 4.2.2 hereof are met (except for SECTION 4.2.2(i), payments for work
completed or materials purchased on or prior to the date that the Disbursement
Agent determined that condition (i) of SECTION 4.2.2 was not satisfied and has
so notified the Issuer in writing;
(b) payments not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate to
prevent the condition of the Facility from deteriorating or to preserve any work
completed as certified to be reasonably necessary or advisable by the Issuer (in
writing); and
(c) if such condition continues for a period of three
consecutive months or more, at the request of the Issuer, Retainage Amounts for
the portion of the Facility completed; provided that the Issuer certifies that
the conditions for paying such amounts (other than completion of the Facility)
are met.
4.3 ADVANCE CONSTRUCTION DISBURSEMENTS.
(a) In addition to the payments permitted by SECTION 4.2.3,
the Issuer shall have the right from time to time (but no more frequently than
once per calendar month, unless otherwise permitted by the Disbursement Agent)
to deliver to the Disbursement Agent an Advance Construction Disbursement
Request in the form of EXHIBIT C-3 (an "ADVANCE CONSTRUCTION DISBURSEMENT
REQUEST"), which Advance Construction Disbursement Request shall not be required
to include or attach the supporting documentation required for all other
Construction Disbursement Requests; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event a
Default or Event of Default subsequently exists (in addition to any other rights
and remedies hereunder or permitted by law), the Issuer shall promptly take all
action reasonably required to cause to be delivered to the Independent
Construction Consultant all supporting documentation with respect thereto that
would otherwise be required for a Construction Disbursement Request.
(b) In any Advance Construction Disbursement Request, the
Issuer may request payment to any Contractor of Disputed Amounts so long as the
Available Advance Construction Disbursement Amount minus the aggregate amount
requested to be disbursed in such Advance Construction Disbursement submitted
under this SECTION 4.3 is greater than zero.
(c) In addition, in any Advance Construction Disbursement
Request, the Issuer may request a disbursement to the PFC Payment Account to
enable PFC to purchase Bonds the proceeds from which will not be immediately
disbursed by the Bond Trustee to pay Permitted Land-Based Project Costs. In such
event, PFC may instruct the Disbursement Agent to transfer such funds from the
PFC Payment Account to the Company's Direct Disbursement Account to write checks
against from time to time (rather than being disbursed by the Bond Trustee
directly to Contractors for payment of Project Costs as set forth in a Bond
Requisition). The aggregate amount then outstanding with respect to all Advance
Construction Disbursements submitted under this clause (c) which have not been
documented as required in this Agreement for other Disbursements shall not
exceed $500,000.
(d) The Disbursement Agent shall comply with any Advance
Construction Disbursement Request, so long as (i) the Advance Construction
Disbursement Request on its face has been completed as to substantially all the
information required therein; (ii) the Disbursement Agent shall not have
received written notice by any party hereto that a
31
Default or an Event of Default exists; and (iii) the Issuer and the Independent
Construction Consultant certify that the Available Advance Construction
Disbursement Amount MINUS the amount of the then requested Advance Construction
Disbursement shall be greater than zero.
4.4 INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT DISBURSEMENTS.
(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest
Payment Date during the Construction Period, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Disbursement Agent a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT C-4 certifying as to the
amount required to be paid with respect to the First Mortgage Notes under the
Indenture on such Interest Payment Date and the calculation of such amount. On
each such Interest Payment Date, Disbursement Agent shall liquidate securities
held in the Interest Reserve Account (to the extent required) and pay over to
the Trustee the amounts due with respect to the First Mortgage Notes, as
specified in such certificate, from the Interest Reserve Account. In the event
that the Issuer fails to deliver the certificate required by the first sentence
of this paragraph (or sets forth in such certificate an incorrect calculation of
the amount required to be paid with respect to the First Mortgage Notes under
the Indenture on such Interest Payment Date), the Trustee may direct the
Disbursement Agent to liquidate such securities (to the extent required), and
disburse to the Trustee the amounts necessary to pay the amounts due with
respect to the First Mortgage Notes. In the event there are insufficient funds
in the Interest Reserve Account to pay any amount due pursuant to such
certificate or direction so given by the Trustee, the Issuer shall, prior to the
applicable Interest Payment Date, deposit in cash into the Interest Reserve
Account an amount equal to such deficiency; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee
shall direct the Disbursement Agent to disburse an amount equal to such
deficiency from the Construction Disbursement Account to the Interest Reserve
Account in the event such amounts are not received from the Issuer on a timely
basis. The Issuer acknowledges that any failure by the Issuer to provide notice
or deposit funds referenced in this SECTION 4.4(a) shall not in any way
exonerate or diminish its obligation to make all payments under the Indenture as
and when due.
(b) The parties generally intend that the portion of the
Proceeds that will be held in the Interest Reserve Account will equal the
difference (the "INITIAL INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT TARGET") of (a) the aggregate
amount of the interest payments that will be due on the First Mortgage Notes on
each of the first four Interest Payment Dates (the "INTEREST RESERVE INCOME
REQUIREMENT") less (b) the amount of interest and other income that the Issuer
reasonably expects to earn on amounts held in the Interest Reserve Account (the
"EXPECTED INTEREST RESERVE INCOME AMOUNT"). The portion of the Proceeds that
will be deposited into the Interest Reserve Account contemporaneously with the
execution of this Agreement may exceed the Initial Interest Reserve Account
Target since the Expected Interest Reserve Income Amount will be established
with greater clarity after the Issuer directs the Disbursement Agent in writing
to invest such Proceeds. As such, within five (5) Business Days after the date
hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the Disbursement Agent a request for the
disbursement of such excess funds from the Interest Reserve Account to the
Construction Disbursement Account in the form of EXHIBIT C-5 hereto. The
Disbursement Agent shall, after receiving such request, transfer such amounts
specified on such request to the Construction Disbursement Account. On the
second (2nd) Business Day after the Disbursement Agent's receipt of written
confirmation from the Trustee that each of the four interest payments with
respect to the First Mortgage Notes required to be made to the Trustee under
this Section have been received by the Trustee and provided that the
Disbursement Agent has not received written notice from the Trustee or the
Issuer that
32
an Event of Default exists, the Disbursement Agent shall release all remaining
funds in the Interest Reserve Account to (A) the Construction Disbursement
Account if the release of funds therefrom permitted under SECTION 4.6 shall have
not yet occurred; and (B) an account designated by the Issuer, if the release of
funds permitted under SECTION 4.6 has occurred.
4.5 ISSUER'S REIMBURSEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY FUNDED PROJECT COSTS. If,
at any time and from time to time, the Issuer shall be unable to satisfy the
conditions precedent to any disbursement set forth in this Article, the Issuer
shall be entitled to pay Project Costs then due and owing and to later seek
reimbursement of such Project Costs from the Construction Disbursement Account
as part of a Disbursement Request as and when permitted in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement at the time (if any) that the Issuer is able to satisfy
the conditions precedent to disbursement set forth in this Article.

5. CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION PERIOD COVENANTS.
The following covenants apply only during the Construction Period:
5.1 AMENDMENTS TO PROJECT BUDGET. The Project Budget for the
Facility may be amended from time to time in the manner set forth herein. The
Issuer shall have the right from time to time to amend the Project Budget
without consent of the Trustee, Independent Construction Consultant or any other
party to this Agreement to change the amounts allocated for specific line item
components of the Facility; PROVIDED that, in any such amendment, the Issuer may
neither modify the description of any line item nor modify the Pre-Issuance
Expense amount set forth for any such line item and, for each line item, the
Remaining Budgeted Amount must equal the difference of the Total Budgeted Amount
for such line item less the amount of Pre-Issuance Expenses for such line item.
5.1.1 SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR LINE-ITEM INCREASES. A line item
in the Project Budget may be increased only if the funds for such increase are
made available in the Project Budget from:
(a) an increase in Additional Pre-Operating Revenue to
the extent not previously expended or dedicated to the payment of items
contained in the Project Budget;
(b) an increase in Realized Savings from another line item
and a corresponding reduction in the construction line items related to such
Realized Savings; or
36
(c) the reduction of the "contingency" line item in the
Project Budget, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the "contingency" line item may not be
reduced below Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) until the date that is
forty-five (45) days after the date the Final Plans have been completed and such
reserved amount shall not be available for application to any other line item in
the Project Budget unless and until the Final Plans have been completed.
5.1.2 PROJECT BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS. Any amendment to the
Project Budget shall be in writing. Any such amendment shall identify with
particularity the line item to be increased or decreased, if any, the amount of
the increase or decrease (if any), and in the event of an increase in a
construction line item, the Realized Savings, Additional Pre-Operating Revenue,
and/or line item for "contingency" in the Project Budget permitted to be reduced
pursuant to SECTION 5.1.1 (but not any Retainage Amounts), which are proposed to
be utilized to pay for the increase; and (y) in the case of a decrease in a
construction line item, the Realized Savings in the amount of such decrease. The
parties acknowledge that a portion of any cost reduction achieved with respect
to the work performed under a Construction Contract may be payable to the
General Contractor or another Contractor under such Construction Contract
(subject to the conditions contained in the GMP Contract or such other
Construction Contract with respect to application of savings) and that in such
case the entire reduction may not become Realized Savings. Construction line
items may be reduced only upon obtaining, and in the amount of, Realized
Savings. The total amount allocated in the Project Budget for the line items for
Finishes, as such line items are set forth on EXHIBIT D-3 hereto, may not be
reduced by more than fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of the amounts allocated
to such line items on EXHIBIT D-3 hereto. The "pre-opening expenses" line item
on the Project Budget may not be reduced by more than fifteen percent (15%). The
"contingency" line item on the Project Budget may be reduced by allocation to
other line items subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 5.1.1(c). The
"working capital and machine loads" line item, the "excess liquidity" line item,
the "owner supplied FF&E" line item, and the "FF&E" line item on the Project
Budget may not be reduced. Any amounts of Realized Savings, Additional
Pre-Operating Revenue, contingency amounts or previously allocated reserves so
identified for use in connection with a particular line item thenceforth shall
be deemed dedicated to the particular line item, unless and until the Project
Budget is amended to reduce the amounts budgeted for the line item of the
Project Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time Soft Costs may be
applied against the "excess liquidity" line item of the Project Budget;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER that (x) $ 3,000,000.00 constitutes a reserve against which no
Project Costs may be applied and represents amounts that can only be disbursed
to the Issuer upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 4.6, and
(y) $1,031,900.00 shall be deposited concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement into the Tidelands Lease Reserve Account and constitutes a reserve
that can only be disbursed upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent in
Section 4.8.
5.1.3 PROJECT BUDGET AMENDMENT CERTIFICATE. The Issuer shall
submit the Project Budget amendment to the Disbursement Agent by an Officer's
Certificate in the form of EXHIBIT E hereto (an "PROJECT BUDGET AMENDMENT
CERTIFICATE") together with the certificates of the General Contractor (for Hard
Costs under GMP Contract (including "Direct Purchase Items" as defined in GMP
Contract) if modified by such Project Budget amendment), Independent
Construction Consultant and Architect (for Hard Costs with respect only to Plans
prepared by it) as provided in the form of EXHIBITS 1 through 3 to the Project
Budget Amendment Certificate. Upon submission of such Project Budget Amendment
Certificate, together with the
37
Exhibits thereto, such amendment shall become effective hereunder, and the
Project Budget for the Facility shall thereafter be as so amended.
5.2 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AMENDMENT PROCESS. The Issuer shall not
enter into or approve any Construction Contract Amendment except as set forth in
this SECTION 5.2. The Issuer shall have the right from time to time to amend any
Construction Contract to change the scope of work for any portion of the
Facility and/or the Issuer's payment obligations in connection therewith. Any
Construction Contract Amendment that (i) results in a cost increase in a
Material Construction Contract in excess of $250,000, individually (or, with
respect to the GMP Contract only, in excess of $500,000, individually) or when
taken together with all other Construction Contract Amendments, results in a
cost increase of $2,000,000 in the aggregate (or, with respect to the GMP
Contract only, in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate), (ii) when taken
together with all related Construction Contract Amendments and after giving
effect to any new, related Construction Contracts, results in a material
lessening of the scope or quality of the work constituting the design or
construction of the Facility or (iii) results in the likely addition of no less
than two weeks of construction (or such amendments, in the aggregate, result in
the likely addition of no less than eight weeks of construction) (a "MATERIAL
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AMENDMENT") shall be in writing and shall identify with
particularity all changes being made. Each Material Construction Contract
Amendment shall be effective when and only when: (a) the Issuer has, or the
Issuer and the Contractor have, executed and delivered the Material Construction
Contract Amendment (with the effectiveness thereof subject only to satisfaction
of the applicable conditions in clauses (b) and (c) below); (b) the Issuer has
submitted the Material Construction Contract Amendment to the Disbursement Agent
and the Trustee together with an Officer's Certificate in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT F (a "CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AMENDMENT CERTIFICATE"), together
with the certificates of the Independent Construction Consultant, the General
Contractor (only for Hard Costs under the GMP Contract (including "Direct
Purchase Items" as defined in the GMP Contract), unless such Hard Costs relate
to an owner change directive issued by Premier under the GMP Contract) and
Architect (for Hard Costs with respect only to Plans prepared by it) as provided
in the form of EXHIBITS 1 through 3 to such Construction Contract Amendment
Certificate. Construction Contract Amendments which are not Material
Construction Contract Amendments shall not require compliance with the
requirements set forth in this SECTION 5.2 or the approval of the Trustee or any
other Person to be effective.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AFTER THE ISSUANCE DATE.
The Issuer may from time to time enter into Construction Contracts consistent
with the Final Plans and the Project Budget, as each is in effect from time to
time. Each such Construction Contract shall be in writing. Each Material
Construction Contract shall become effective when and only when: (a) the Issuer
and the counterparty to such Material Construction Contract have executed and
delivered the Material Construction Contract (with the effectiveness thereof
subject only to satisfaction of the conditions in clauses (b), (c) and (d)
below); (b) the Issuer has submitted to the Trustee, with a copy to the
Disbursement Agent and the Independent Construction Consultant: (i) such
Material Construction Contract together with an Officer's Certificate in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT K (an "ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
CERTIFICATE") and all exhibits, attachments and certificates required thereby,
each duly completed and executed, and (ii) copies of such performance and
payment bonds as the counterparty to such Construction Contract may be required
to provide to the Issuer pursuant to such Material Construction Contract (which
performance and payment bonds shall name the Trustee as an additional
38
obligee) and (iii) (y) and the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain a
consent from the counterparty (i) substantially in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT H-1 for Construction Contracts where the amount to be paid to the
Contractor under such Construction Contract and all related Construction
Contracts with the same Contractor exceeds $1,000,000, and (ii) substantially in
the form EXHIBIT H-2 for Construction Contracts where the amount to be paid to
the Contractor under such Construction Contract and all related Construction
Contracts with the same Contractor is between $500,000 and $1,000,000, signed by
the counterparty to such Material Construction Contract; (c) if entering into
such Material Construction Contract will result in an amendment to the Project
Budget, the Issuer has complied with the requirements of SECTION 5.1; and (d) if
entering into such Material Construction Contract will cause the Available
Construction Funds to be less than the Remaining Costs, then the Issuer,
treating such difference as a cost overrun, has complied with the requirements
of SECTION 5.4. A consent shall not be required where the amount to be paid to
the Contractor under such Construction Contract and all related Construction
Contracts with the same Contractor is less than $500,000.
5.4 AVAILABLE CONSTRUCTION FUNDS CERTIFICATE. Concurrently with the
submission of any Construction Disbursement Request, the Issuer shall submit an
Officer's Certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D-1 (an "AVAILABLE CONSTRUCTION
FUNDS CERTIFICATE"), to the Disbursement Agent, the Trustee and the Independent
Construction Consultant. Each Available Construction Funds Certificate shall
include (i) an Available Construction Funds Schedule dated as of the first
Business Day of such month and shall set forth (A) the actual investment income
earned on the Construction Disbursement Account or the Issuer's Payment Account
through a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of the Available
Construction Funds Schedule, and (B) the Anticipated Investment Income and (ii)
either (x) shall include a certification that the amount currently on deposit in
the Tidelands Lease Account is equal to or exceeds the amount of the Tidelands
Lease Required Payment or (y) shall attach a completed Tidelands Lease
Certificate in accordance with SECTION 6.1(a).
5.4.1 ADDITIONAL PRE-OPERATING REVENUE. If at any time the
Issuer submits an Available Construction Funds Certificate pursuant to this
Section and the Issuer can no longer reasonably anticipate that the Additional
Pre-Operating Revenue earned (and anticipated to be earned through the date that
the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the Initial Operating Date will occur)
from investments of funds in the Construction Disbursement Account or the
Issuer's Payment Account will equal the amount of such Additional Pre-Operating
Revenue set forth in the Project Budget, then:
(a) if the total amount of such Additional Pre-Operating
Revenue at such date earned or anticipated to be earned is less than the total
amount of such Additional Pre-Operating Revenue set forth in the Project Budget,
then the Available Construction Funds shall be deemed reduced by the amount of
such deficiency and the Issuer, as a condition to the next Construction
Disbursement Request, shall reallocate contingencies, provide additional
Available Construction Funds or otherwise amend the Project Budget so that the
Remaining Costs do not exceed the total Available Construction Funds; or
(b) if the total amount of such Additional Pre-Operating
Revenue at such date earned or anticipated to be earned is greater than the
total amount of such Additional Pre-Operating Revenue set forth in the Project
Budget, then the Available Construction Funds shall be deemed increased by the
amount of such excess.
39
5.4.2 COST OVERRUNS. The Issuer covenants to cure any
anticipated cost overrun for any line item on the Project Budget (taking into
account any applicable contingencies which have been allocated to such line item
by an amendment to the Project Budget) or for the Facility as a whole within ten
days after the Issuer becomes aware of any such anticipated cost overrun by:
(a) providing sufficient funds to cover in full such cost
overrun from previously unallocated Available Construction Funds or Additional
Pre-Operating Revenue (but in each case only to the extent that the same have
not previously been expended or allocated (including Retainage Amounts) to the
payment of items contained in the Project Budget); and/or
(b) with respect to a cost overrun as to a particular line
item, effecting an amendment to the Project Budget to allocate such funds to the
line item in question.
5.5 PROJECT COST SCHEDULE CERTIFICATE. The Issuer shall submit an
Officer's Certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D-2 (a "PROJECT COST SCHEDULE
CERTIFICATE") to the Independent Construction Consultant within five Business
Days following the delivery of a written request for the same by the Independent
Construction Consultant (but no more frequently than once per calendar month).
Each Project Cost Schedule Certificate shall include a Project Cost Schedule
dated as of the first Business Day of the month in which such Project Cost
Schedule Certificate is delivered and shall set forth (a) for each line item in
the Project Budget, each of the items required on EXHIBIT D-2, (b) (i) the
actual investment income earned on the Construction Disbursement Account or the
Issuer's Payment Account through a date not more than 30 days prior to the date

the work or payment required in connection with any line item has not yet been
completed, the Issuer reasonably believes that the estimated cost to complete

respects.

Construction Disbursement Account, there are sufficient Available Construction

and any other material expenses the Issuer reasonably believes will need to be
incurred by the Issuer in order to cause the Initial Operating Date to occur on
or prior to the Operating Deadline.
(j) As of the date hereof, no Event of Default exists, and the requested
disbursements from the Construction Disbursement Account and the payments
contemplated from the Construction Disbursement Account in connection therewith
will not constitute, result in, nor create an Event of Default.

CONSENT AND AGREEMENT
(OWNER CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT)
This CONSENT AND AGREEMENT (OWNER CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT) (the
"CONSENT"), dated as of [___________], 2004, is executed by [________________],
a [______________________] (the "UNDERSIGNED"), PREMIER ENTERTAINMENT BILOXI LLC
(d/b/a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi), a Delaware limited liability company
("PREMIER"), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association,
as trustee under the Indenture (as defined below) (together with its successors
and assigns from time to time under the Indenture, the "TRUSTEE").
RECITALS
A. THE FACILITY. Premier proposes to develop, construct and
operate the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, a full service gaming, hotel and
entertainment resort and certain related amenities to be developed upon
approximately 8.5 acres along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Biloxi, Mississippi
(the "FACILITY").
B. FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES. Concurrently herewith, Premier and

Premier, the "ISSUER") is issuing $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
10 3/4% First Mortgage Notes due 2012 together with all other notes issued under
the Indenture, including all notes issued in exchange or replacement thereof,
the "FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES"), pursuant to that certain Indenture dated as of
January 23, 2004, among the Issuer and the Trustee (as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "INDENTURE"), to finance Project Costs. The
first priority liens in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the holders from time
to time of the First Mortgage Notes (collectively, the "SECURED PARTIES")
C. OWNER CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT. The Undersigned and Premier have
entered into that certain [Agreement Between Owner and Contractor] dated as of
[_____________], 20____, pursuant to which the Undersigned has agreed to
[___________________________] in connection with the Facility (as amended and
supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms and the
terms hereof, the "CONTRACT").
D. SECURITY AGREEMENT. Pursuant to that certain Pledge and
Security Agreement dated as of January 23, 2004 (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"), by
and between Premier, PFC, the Trustee and the other parties named therein,
Premier has collaterally assigned its interest under the contracts between
Premier and any person pertaining to the construction of the Facility, including
the GMP Contract (the "CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS") to the Trustee on behalf of the
Secured Parties.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. The Undersigned consents to Premier's transfer, assignment, and
grant of a security interest in and to the Contract, as provided for in the
Security Agreement.
Page 1 of 8
EXHIBIT H-1
2. The Trustee shall be entitled (but not obligated) to cure any
defaults of Premier under the Contract. Upon receipt of notice from the Trustee,
the Undersigned agrees to accept such cure by the Trustee.
3. The Undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of
the Trustee, (i) cancel or terminate the Contract except as provided in the
Contract and in accordance with SECTION 4 hereof, or consent to or accept any
cancellation, termination or suspension thereof by Premier, (ii) sell or assign
any part of its interest in the Contract; or (iii) amend or modify the Contract
in any material respect unless a Construction Contract Amendment Certificate has
been delivered by Premier pursuant to SECTION 5.2 of the Cash Collateral and
Disbursement Agreement entered into among the Issuer, the Trustee, such
construction consultant and a disbursement agent thereunder (the "DISBURSEMENT
AGREEMENT").
4. The Undersigned will not terminate the Contract on account of
any default or breach of Premier thereunder without written notice to the
Trustee and first providing to the Trustee (i) ninety (90) days from the date
notice of default or breach is delivered to the Trustee to cure such default if
such default is the failure to pay amounts to the Undersigned which are due and
payable under the Contract or (ii) a reasonable opportunity, but not fewer than
one hundred twenty (120) days, to cure such breach or default if the breach or
default cannot be cured by the payment of money to the Undersigned. If
possession of the Facility is necessary to cure such breach or default and the
Trustee or its designee(s) or assignee(s) declare Premier in default and
commence foreclosure proceedings, the Trustee or its designee(s) or assignee(s),
will be allowed a reasonable period to complete such proceedings. If the Trustee
or its designee(s) or assignee(s) are prohibited by any court order or
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings from curing the default or from commencing
or prosecuting foreclosure proceedings, the foregoing time periods shall be
extended by the period of such prohibition, but such extension shall not exceed
one hundred and fifty (150) days beyond the time frames set out in clause (ii)
of the first sentence of this SECTION 4.
5. The Undersigned consents to the transfer of Premier's interest
under the Contract to (i) the Secured Parties or any of them or (ii) a purchaser
or grantee at a foreclosure sale by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure and sale
or by a conveyance by Premier in lieu of foreclosure (any such purchaser or
grantee, other than the Secured Parties, shall be referred to herein as a "THIRD
PARTY TRANSFEREE"). The Undersigned agrees that upon such foreclosure, sale or
conveyance, the Undersigned shall recognize such Secured Party or Third Party
Transferee as the applicable party under the Contract (provided that such
Secured Party or Third Party Transferee assumes the obligations of Premier under
the Contract and provided further that such Secured Party or Third Party
Transferee is creditworthy). "Assume the obligations of Premier under the
Contract" shall mean the assumption by such Secured Party or Third Party
Transferee of all obligations of Premier under the Contract, regardless of
whether for past or future matters, and specifically, but not by way of
limitation, shall require simultaneous payment of all amounts owed and
acknowledgement of liability for all amounts becoming owed, all as a condition
of the Undersigned's obligation to accept such assumption and to accept
instructions from such Secured Party or Third Party Transferee. A Third Party
Transferee or Secured Party shall be deemed creditworthy if either (a) it has a
net worth of at least $20 million dollars (calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals in effect from time to time in the
United States); or (b) it has been approved as creditworthy by Undersigned, it
being understood that the Undersigned shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or
condition its approval and shall take into account the net worth of such Secured
Party or Third Party Transferee and any letter of credit or other credit
instrument proposed to be made available as security for the performance of such
Third Party Transferee.
6. If the Trustee gives written notice to the Undersigned that an
event of default has occurred under any of the agreements with the Secured
Parties (the "TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS") and requests that the Undersigned continue
its performance under the Contract, then the Undersigned shall
Page 2 of 8
EXHIBIT H-1
thereafter perform for the Secured Parties under the Contract in accordance with
its terms so long as the Undersigned shall be paid all amounts as and when
required under the Contract, including payment of any sums due to the
Undersigned for work performed up to and including the date of Premier's default
and thereafter, with said request constituting such an agreement by the Trustee
on behalf of one or more of the Secured Parties to so pay the Undersigned in
accordance with the Contract. The Undersigned shall have the right to refuse to
continue performance of the Contract unless and until the Undersigned has been
paid in full for all amounts then due under the Contract. The Undersigned shall
render such performance to the Secured Parties notwithstanding any contrary
directions, instructions or assertions from Premier. Premier hereby authorizes
and directs the Undersigned to render such performance to the Secured Parties as
contemplated herein.
7. In the event that the Contract is rejected by a trustee or
debtor-in possession in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and if, within
sixty (60) days after such rejection, the Secured Parties or their successors or
assigns shall so request, the Undersigned will execute and deliver to the
Secured Parties or their designee or assignee (if creditworthy as defined
herein) a new Construction Contract, which Construction Contract shall be on the
same terms and conditions as the original Contract, subject to such extensions
of time and additional compensation as may be appropriate under the
circumstances. However, as a condition precedent to the Undersigned's
obligations to execute and deliver any such new Construction Contract, Secured
Parties shall pay all previously unpaid sums owed to the Undersigned under the
original Contract.
8. The parties recognize and agree that the events contemplated in
SECTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 may lead to or involve time delays and
increased costs as to the Undersigned's performance under the Contract, and,
therefore, the Undersigned must be granted such extensions of time and
additional compensation as may be appropriate due to actual impacts of the
circumstances contemplated herein.
9. In the event the Secured Parties or their designee(s) or
assignee(s) elect to perform Premier's obligations under the Contract and cure
any default by Premier under the Contract as provided in SECTIONS 2 and 4 above
(and not under SECTIONS 5, 6, 7, or 10 herein), the Secured Parties, their
designee(s) and assignee(s), shall have no personal liability to the Undersigned
for the performance of such obligations, and the sole recourse of the
Undersigned in seeking the enforcement of such obligations shall be to such
parties' interest in the Facility; however, this limitation on personal
liability shall not apply as to actions by the Secured Parties or their
designee(s) or assignee(s) under SECTIONS 5, 6, 7, or 10 herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any foreclosure of the Facility by the Secured Parties, the
Undersigned shall retain any and all of its rights and claims against Premier.
10. In the event the Secured Parties or their designee(s) or
assignee(s) succeed to Premier's interest under the Contract, the Secured
Parties shall have the right to assign all or a pro rata interest in the
Contract or a new Construction Contract entered into pursuant to SECTION 7 to a
person or entity to whom the Facility is transferred, provided such transferee
assumes the obligations of Premier (or the Secured Parties) under the Contract.
Upon such assignment, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Secured Parties
(including their agents and employees) shall be released from any further
liability thereunder to the extent of the interest assigned, upon the following
conditions: (i) the assignee must be a party as to whom the Undersigned does not
have a reasonable objection, including, but not limited to, as to the
creditworthiness (as defined in SECTION 5 above) of the assignee; (ii) all sums
due to the Undersigned as of the time it received notice of that assignment or
as of the time such assignment takes place (whichever is later) are paid in
full; and (iii) the assignee must acknowledge, upon terms and conditions
acceptable to Undersigned, liability for all sums due and owing and becoming due
and owing thereafter and for all other obligations under the Contract,
including, but not limited to obligations as to the issues addressed by SECTION
8.
Page 3 of 8
EXHIBIT H-1
11. The warranties provided by the Undersigned under the Contract
shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the warranty
periods set forth in the Contract) in the event that the Secured Parties or
their designee(s) or assignee(s) succeed to Premier's interest in the Contract
(whether by foreclosure, sale or other assignment) and upon the further
assignment or sale of the Contract by the Secured Parties or their designee(s)
or assignee(s).
12. The Undersigned hereby assigns to Premier (and Premier's
assigns) all its interest in any subcontracts and purchase orders now existing
or hereinafter entered into by the Undersigned for performance of any part of
the Undersigned's obligations under the Contract (the "SUBCONTRACTS"). Such
assignment shall be effective only upon the termination of the Contract for the
default of the Undersigned, and then only as to those Subcontracts which Premier
(or its assigns) at such time accepts in writing. The Undersigned also grants a
security interest to Premier (and Premier's assigns) in all of its interest in
such Subcontracts as security for the performance of the Undersigned's
obligations under the Contract. The Undersigned further assigns to Premier (and
Premier's assigns) all of its rights with respect to any warranties under the
Subcontracts, such assignment shall be effective upon the termination of the
Contract for the default of the Undersigned.
13. The Undersigned hereby agrees (i) to cooperate with
Professional Associates Construction Services, Inc. or any other person
designated from time to time by the Trustee to serve as construction consultant
under the Disbursement Agreement (the "INDEPENDENT CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT") to
facilitate performance of its duties to monitor the progress of the construction
of the Facility, (ii) to, upon request, deliver to the Independent Construction
Consultant copies of any notices and progress reports delivered to Premier
pursuant to the Contract, (iii) to meet with the Independent Construction
Consultant to discuss the status and progress of construction of the Facility
whenever reasonably requested by the Independent Construction Consultant and
(iv) to allow the Independent Construction Consultant the opportunity to be
included in all material meetings between the Undersigned and Premier related to
the construction of the Facility. However, this shall not prohibit the
Undersigned from moving forward with any meeting when the circumstances
surrounding such meeting make it unreasonable to await involvement by the
Independent Construction Consultant.
14. The Undersigned hereby represents, warrants and certifies that:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Undersigned
of the Contract and this Consent has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and does not and will not require any further consents or
approvals which have not been obtained, or violate any provision of any law,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction or similar matters or breach any
agreement presently in effect with respect to or binding on the Undersigned
(except as to assignments of Subcontracts set forth in SECTION 12).
(b) This Consent and the Contract are legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in
accordance with their respective terms.

correct copy of the Contract including all amendments and modifications thereto,
up to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, the Contract is in full force and
effect and constitutes the only agreement between the Undersigned and Premier

PARTIES")
A. THE FACILITY. Premier proposes to develop, construct and
operate the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, a full service gaming, hotel and
entertainment resort and certain related amenities to be developed upon

(the "FACILITY").
B. FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES. Concurrently herewith, Premier and
Premier Finance Biloxi Corp., a Delaware corporation ("PFC," and together with
Premier, the "ISSUER") is issuing $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
10 3/4% First Mortgage Notes due 2012 (together with all other notes issued
under the Indenture, including all notes issued in exchange or replacement

C. [CONTRACT]. The Undersigned and Premier have entered into that
certain Agreement Between Owner and Contractor dated as of [ ], 20 , pursuant to
which the Undersigned has agreed to [ ][DESCRIBE WORK OR SERVICES TO BE

terms hereof, the "CONTRACT").
D. SECURITY AGREEMENT. Pursuant to that certain Pledge and
Security Agreement dated as of January 23, 2004 (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"), by

Premier has collaterally assigned its interest under the contracts between
Premier and any person pertaining to the construction of the Facility, including
the Contract (the "CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS") to the Trustee on behalf of the
Secured Parties.
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. The Undersigned consents to Premier's transfer, assignment, and
grant of a security interest in and to the Contract, as provided for in the
Security Agreement.
2. The Trustee shall be entitled (but not obligated) to cure any
defaults of Premier under the Contract. Upon receipt of notice from the Trustee,

Contract and in accordance with SECTION 4
Page 1 of 1
EXHIBIT H-2
hereof, or consent to or accept any cancellation, termination or suspension
thereof by Premier, (ii) sell or assign any part of its interest in the
Contract, or (iii) amend or modify the Contract in any material respect unless a
Construction Contract Amendment Certificate has been delivered by Premier
pursuant to SECTION 5.2 of the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement
entered into among the Issuer, the Trustee, such construction consultant and a
disbursement agent thereunder).
4. The Undersigned will not terminate the Contract on account of
any default or breach of Premier thereunder without written notice to the
Trustee and first providing to the Trustee a reasonable opportunity, but not
fewer than one hundred twenty (120) days, to cure such breach or default if the
breach or default cannot be cured by the payment of money to the Undersigned. If
possession of the Facility is necessary to cure such breach or default and the
Trustee or its designee(s) or assignee(s) declare Premier in default and
commence foreclosure proceedings, the Trustee or its designee(s) or assignee(s),
will be allowed a reasonable period to complete such proceedings. If the Trustee
or its designee(s) or assignee(s) are prohibited by any court order or
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings from curing the default or from commencing

extended by the period of such prohibition, but such extension shall not exceed

Parties and requests that the Undersigned continue its performance under the
Contract, then the Undersigned shall thereafter perform for the Secured Parties
under the Contract in accordance with its terms so long as the Undersigned shall
be paid all amounts as and when required under the Contract.
7. In the event that the Contract is rejected by a trustee or
debtor-in possession in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and if, within
sixty (60) days after such rejection, the Secured Parties or their successors or
assigns shall so request, the Undersigned will execute and deliver to the
Secured Parties or their designee or assignee a new Construction Contract, which
Construction Contract shall be on the same terms and conditions as the original
Contract, subject to such extensions of time and additional compensation as may
be appropriate under the circumstances.
8. In the event the Secured Parties or their designee(s) or
assignee(s) elect to perform Premier's obligations under the Contract and cure
any default by Premier under the Contract, the Secured Parties, their
designee(s) and assignee(s), shall have no personal liability to the Undersigned
for the performance of such obligations, and the sole recourse of the
Undersigned in seeking the enforcement of such obligations shall be to such
parties' interest in the Facility. If the Secured Parties or their designee(s)
or assignee(s) (succeeding to Premier's interests under the Contract) assign all
or a pro rata interest in its rights and obligations under the Contract or new
Construction Contract to a person or entity to whom the Facility is transferred,
then the Trustee and the Secured Parties (including their agents and employees)
shall be released from all further liability thereunder.

assigns) all its interest in any subcontracts and purchase orders now existing
or hereinafter entered into by the Undersigned for performance of any part of
the Undersigned's obligations under the Contract (the "Subcontracts"). Such
assignment shall be effective only upon the termination of the Contract for the
default of the Undersigned, and then only as to those Subcontracts which Premier
(or its assigns) at such time accepts in writing. The Undersigned also grants a
security interest to Premier (and Premier's assigns) in all of its interest in
such Subcontracts as security for the Undersigned's obligations under the
Contract.
11. The Undersigned hereby represents, warrants and certifies that
the Undersigned has delivered to the Trustee a true and correct copy of the
Contract including all amendments and modifications thereto, up to the date
hereof. As of the date hereof, the Contract is in full force and effect and
constitutes the only agreement between the Undersigned and Premier with respect
to the matters and interest described therein.

respective successors, transferees and assigns (including without limitation,
