RENT; PRIORITY MANAGEMENT FEE

4.1 Base Rent; Default Interest. Subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as base monthly rent for the Premises the sum of One Million Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,725,000.00) (“Base Rent”), which shall be paid on the fifteenth day of each month during the Term, commencing on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Term. Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated and paid with the first regular payment of Base Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent (as defined below) within ten (10) days of the date the same is due and payable, such unpaid amount shall automatically bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of such non-payment until paid (the “Default Interest”); provided, however, that Landlord’s collection of Default Interest shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights that Landlord may have at law or equity in respect of such Rent and Default Interest.

4.2 Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, on or before the twentieth calendar day of each calendar month during the Term, Landlord shall submit an invoice to Tenant for the following expense items incurred by Landlord in the immediately preceding calendar month and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the payment of Base Rent, the amount of such invoice on the fifteenth day of the following calendar month (collectively, the “Additional Rent” and, together with Base Rent and all other monies required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, “Rent”):

(a) for such improvements and/or services requested by Tenant and undertaken by or on behalf of Landlord with respect to the Premises at such cost as mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (which shall be Casino Expenses);

(b) Tenant Complimentaries (as defined below) (which shall be Casino Expenses); and

(c) for such other charges, costs or fees that may be payable as Additional Rent pursuant to the terms hereof (which shall be Casino Expenses).

4.3 Payment of Rent. All Rent and other monies required to be paid to Landlord hereunder shall be paid without offset, deduction, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America (or in the form of a Shortfall Note, as permitted by Section 4.6 hereof), at the offices of Landlord, at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attn: Controller, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

4.4 Casino EBITDAR. “Casino EBITDAR” shall mean Tenant’s earnings from operations at the Premises before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and Rent. The Casino EBITDAR shall be calculated with the following formula: “Casino Revenues” (defined as gross revenues from Gaming Operations) less “Casino Expenses” (defined as all expenses that are not Landlord Expenses (as defined below)), less the Priority Management Fee (as defined below), less Undistributed Expenses (as defined below) and less any other expenses of Tenant that Landlord and Tenant determine are reasonable and necessary for the conduct of the Gaming Operations at the Premises. Interest on the Gaming Asset Note, the Shortfall Note and the Working Capital Note shall be a Casino Expense.

4.5 Surplus Fund Reserve. To the extent that monthly Casino EBITDAR is in excess of Base Rent, Tenant shall establish a reserve account (the “Surplus Fund Reserve”) for any such excess cash flow which shall be applied, on a monthly basis, to accrued interest and unpaid principal under the Shortfall Notes (as defined below) until any balances thereof are satisfied. Thereafter, any Surplus Fund Reserve remaining shall be applied as follows: (a) 37.5% shall be applied to the accrued interest and unpaid principal under the Gaming Asset Note; (b) 37.5% shall be applied to the accrued interest and unpaid principal under the Working Capital Note (as defined below); provided, however, that in the event the balance on the Gaming Asset Note or the Working Capital Note has been satisfied, then the full 75% shall be applied to the accrued interest and unpaid principal under the remaining outstanding note, and, once the outstanding note has been satisfied, if applicable, then the full 75% (“Landlord’s Share”) shall remain in the Surplus Fund Reserve; and (c) 25% shall be withheld from Casino Revenues by Tenant. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any funds remaining in the Surplus Fund Reserve resulting from Landlord’s Share shall be the sole property of Landlord.

4.6 Shortfall Notes. In the event that Casino EBITDAR for the previous month is less than the monthly Base Rent, the deficit amount between the Base Rent and the actual monthly Casino EBITDAR shall be provided to Landlord in monthly shortfall notes (“Shortfall Notes”), rather than lawful money, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” which shall accrue interest monthly at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and which shall be non-recourse. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Gaming Assets shall be transferred to Landlord or its designee in full satisfaction of any balance owing on the Shortfall Notes, including any Default Interest.

4.7 Priority Management Fee. Tenant shall withhold from Casino Revenues a sum in the amount of Two Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($275,000.00) per month (the “Priority Management Fee”). The Priority Management Fee shall be prorated for any partial month. The Priority Management Fee shall be paid to Golden Gaming, Inc. or its designee for general management services provided to Tenant.

4.8 Priority Management Fee Exception; Working Capital Increase; Reserve Account.

Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of its lender to except out the Priority Management Fee from any subordination agreement between Landlord and its lender. In the event Landlord is unable to obtain the consent of its lender to the foregoing, then Landlord agrees, at Tenant’s request, to increase the loan evidenced by the Working Capital Note (as defined below) and/or to establish and fund a reserve account in an aggregate amount sufficient at all times to cover payment of the Priority Management Fee on a monthly basis for one year.

4.9 Undistributed Expenses. The parties acknowledge that Tenant may incur additional expenses to conduct the Gaming Operations in a manner commensurate with past or optimal practices and procedures and/or for such functions as mandated by the Gaming Authorities (“Undistributed Expenses”). Tenant anticipates that Undistributed Expenses will be comprised of the following: (a) advertising, entertainment and marketing promotions; (b) surveillance operations; (c) human resources; (d) accounting and finance services; (e) compliance services; (f) interest expenses, other than interest on the Shortfall Notes, the Gaming Asset Note and the Working Capital Note and any Default Interest; and (h) chargebacks to Tenant. All such allocated amounts for Undistributed Expenses shall be mutually agreed upon and negotiated between Landlord and Tenant on an annual basis in good faith and subject to the requirements of the Gaming Authorities. Undistributed Expenses shall be a Casino Expense, which number shall be based on actual expenses incurred.

4.10 Working Capital Note. Subject to the approval of the Gaming Authorities, Landlord shall make a working capital loan to Tenant as a revolving line of credit during the Term, in the amount of up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($1,500,000) to be drawn upon by Tenant for its working capital needs, evidenced by a promissory note (“Working Capital Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” which shall accrue interest monthly at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Working Capital shall be transferred to Landlord or its designee in full satisfaction of any balance owing on the Working Capital Note, including Default Interest.

(b) Utilities. Landlord shall provide or cause to be provided, throughout the Term to the Premises, all necessary and appropriate utility services, including water, electricity, phone, sewer, gas, garbage disposal and cable services, and including any and all charges for initiating and terminating such services such as disconnection fees, “hook-up” fees and similar costs and fees (other than satellite and race fees related to the race and sportsbook, which expenses shall be Casino Expenses) (collectively, “Utilities”).

The policies described in this Lease shall designate Landlord and its successors and assigns as additional insureds and/or loss payees as appropriate.

10.4 Endorsement. All policies provided for or contemplated in Section 10.2 of this Lease, shall name Tenant as the insured and Landlord as the additional insured, as its interests may appear.

10.5 Clauses. All policies provided for or contemplated in Section 10.2 of this Lease shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

10.8 Hazardous Activities. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Premises to be occupied or used in a manner which will materially increase the rates of any insurance for the Premises or the overall development within which the Hotel Casino is situated or that will make void or voidable any insurance then in force with respect to the Premises or the overall development within which the Hotel Casino is situated, or which will make it impossible to obtain fire or other insurance with respect to the Premises or the overall development within which the Hotel Casino is situated.

ARTICLE XI

DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION

11.1 Continuation of Rent. Should the Premises be damaged or destroyed in whole or in part, which damage or destruction substantially interferes with the Gaming Operations and

was not caused by the fault or negligence of Tenant, the Gaming Employees, Tenant’s Employees, or its agents, employees, servants, contractors, licensees, customers or business invitees, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by notifying the other party of such election in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after such damage or destruction; provided, however, if Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of such damage or destruction of Tenant’s election to restore or repair the Premises and proceeds to and does restore or repair the Premises with all reasonable diligence at its sole expense, to the condition in which they were immediately prior to such destruction or damages, the Lease shall not terminate, but shall continue in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent for the period of such repair; provided, however, such abatement shall be for not more than ninety (90) calendar days from the date of such damage or destruction.

11.2 Proceeds of Insurance. In the event of any destruction or damage to the Premises in respect of which the proceeds of the insurance policy carried by Tenant that are paid to Tenant or Landlord are insufficient to rebuild or restore the Premises and replace the Improvements, trade fixtures and personal property therein, then Tenant agrees to restore or repair, with all reasonable diligence, at its sole expense (which shall be a Casino Expense), the Premises to the condition in which they were immediately prior to such destruction or damages. Any and all plans, specifications and contracts for such restoration or reconstruction shall be subject to the approval of Landlord. Upon such approval, Tenant shall diligently proceed to restore and rebuild the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, restoration or repair shall not be required for a casualty occurring during the last six (6) months of the Term provided that all insurance proceeds or rights to claims therefor are delivered or assigned to Landlord.

11.3 Partial Condemnation. If a partial portion of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation, then a just portion of the Base Rent shall be abated according to the nature and extent of the taking, appropriation and/or injuries sustained by the Premises. Except for such abatement, Tenant shall not participate in any other respect in any part of the condemnation award that may be made. Nothing herein contained, however, shall preclude Tenant from asserting as against the condemning authority its claim for injury or damages occasioned by such condemnation to the Premises.

11.4 Full Condemnation. If the entire portion of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation, or a partial portion of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation and the portion remaining is not reasonably susceptible to conducting the Gaming Operations, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by notifying the other party of such election in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after such taking and Tenant shall not participate in any other respect in any part of the condemnation award that may be made. Nothing herein contained, however, shall preclude Tenant from asserting as against the condemning authority its claim for injury or damages occasioned by such condemnation to the Premises.

11.5 Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act. The terms and conditions contained in this Article 11 are intended as an express provision with respect to casualty and condemnation of the Premises which supersedes the provisions of the Nevada Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act.

(i) if Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord the guarantee required pursuant to Section 9.2.

13.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity, and without barring election of any other remedy, Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the following rights:

provided, however that the mere giving by Landlord of a Notice to Pay (or perform) or a Notice to Quit shall not, of itself, constitute a notice of termination of this Lease;

(b) without taking possession of the Premises, Landlord may require strict performance of all of the agreements, obligations and covenants hereof as the same shall respectively accrue, and shall have the right of action therefor; and

(c) Landlord may take possession of the Premises through suit or otherwise, for the purpose of re-letting them for the account of Tenant, and in that event, may re-let the Premises, or any part thereof, at such rental and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord shall reasonably deem proper.

In addition to any and all other damages sustained by Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for all expenses incurred by Landlord for such reletting.

Landlord shall have from time to time as the same shall accrue, or at any longer intervals, or at or after the expiration of said Term, a right of action against Tenant for all sums so accruing. All notices given pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, constitute the required statutory notice, if any, and any time given Tenant by Applicable Law to cure or remedy a default hereunder shall run from the time of the giving of

such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s liability to Landlord on account of an Event of Default shall not exceed the aggregate amount of (x) the Priority Management Fee actually received by Tenant and (y) the distributions from the Surplus Fund Reserve actually received by Tenant.

13.3 Waiver. It is covenanted and agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord to or of any action by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Tenant.

13.4 Default of Landlord. If Landlord shall be in default under this Lease in the event Landlord fails to perform any of the covenants, terms, provisions or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed hereunder (a “Landlord Event of Default”), in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity, and without barring election of any other remedy, Tenant may, at its sole option, have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such Landlord Event of Default, but in no event more than an additional thirty (30) days.

ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING

Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease nor the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest herein, or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, or license the use of all or any portion of the Premises or permit or undergo a Change in Control (as defined below) (collectively, “Transfer”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. “Change in Control” means (a) a sale or exchange of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding stock of any class, as applicable, or membership interest to a third party; or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the transferor. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this Lease or consent to the assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Absent a written agreement to the contrary that is executed by Landlord, no Transfer by Tenant shall act as, or affect a release of, Tenant from any of the agreements, obligations and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Any attempted Transfer of this Lease by Tenant shall be void and an Event of Default hereunder.

In no event shall Landlord have access to any area of the Premises for which access is restricted in accordance with Gaming Laws, except pursuant to such laws. Except in emergency situations, Landlord shall give Tenant at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of entry. Landlord shall have the right to use any means which Landlord may deem proper to open all doors in the Premises in an emergency. Entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means shall not be deemed to be forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Nothing contained herein shall impose or be deemed to impose any duty on the part of Landlord to do any work or repair, maintenance, reconstruction or restoration, which under any provision of this Lease is required to be done by Tenant or not required to be done by Landlord, and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of such an Event of Default by Tenant.

ARTICLE XVIII

ARTICLE XIX

SUBORDINATION

19.1 Subordination by Tenant. Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to subordinate this Lease and its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance, together with any renewals, extensions or replacements thereof, now or hereafter

placed, charged or enforced against the Premises, or any portion thereof, and to execute and deliver at any time, and from time to time, upon ten (10) calendar days written demand by Landlord, such documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate such subordination, provided that in connection with such subordination documents such mortgagee or beneficiary of agrees to provide a non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant whereby such mortgagee or beneficiary agrees that in the event of a sale or foreclosure under any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance, the purchaser upon any such sale or foreclosure shall not disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises for any reason other than one which would entitle Landlord to terminate the Lease under its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to subordinate its right to receive the Priority Management Fee hereunder unless and until Landlord has established and funded a reserve account in an aggregate amount sufficient at all times to cover payment to Tenant of the Priority Management Fee on a monthly basis for one year.

Subject to Gaming Laws, Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of the Premises or the Hotel Casino or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any deed of trust covering the Premises, attorn to the purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale, and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

20.20 Confidentiality.

(a) In connection with the performance of their obligations under this Lease, each party (acting as a “Disclosing Party”), or its respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, representatives (including, without limitation, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants) or agents (collectively its “Representatives”), whether before or after the date hereof, may disclose to the other, to the extent permitted by Gaming Laws (acting as “Receiving Party”) certain of the Disclosing Party’s commercially valuable, proprietary and confidential information and trade secrets with respect to its business and the business of its subsidiaries and affiliates, in either written or oral form, including without limitation information which may relate to its proprietary products, technology, processes, drawings, specifications, programs, models, financial and operational information and projections, formulae, data, know-how, developments, designs, improvements, software programs, products, marketing plans and strategies, customer and supplier lists, mailing lists, and other valuable business information and opportunities, as well as any analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, extracts or other documentation prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives based on such information disclosed by the Disclosing Party (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”).

(b) Each party, acting as a Receiving Party, agrees to keep strictly confidential all Proprietary Information so received by it from a Disclosing Party, and to use such Proprietary information solely for the purpose of discharging its obligations under this Lease. Each Receiving Party agrees that any and all Proprietary Information of a Disclosing Party is and shall remain the proprietary and confidential information and property of that Disclosing Party.

(c) Each Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care and diligence to maintain and protect any and all Proprietary Information of a Disclosing Party from disclosure to

others as the Receiving Party employs to protect its own information of like importance (but in no event less than reasonable care), and to not, except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process and only after compliance with subsection d below, without Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, disclose any Proprietary Information in any manner whatsoever, and to not use any Proprietary Information other than solely for the purpose set forth herein, and to prevent disclosure of such Proprietary Information by its Representatives, to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that Receiving Party may reveal the Proprietary Information to its Representatives who need to know for the purpose of discharging Receiving Party’s obligations under this Lease, provided such Receiving Party informs its Representatives of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information, and such Representatives agree to act in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Receiving Party will cause its Representatives to observe the terms of this Lease, and will be responsible for any breach of this Section 20.20 by any of its Representatives.

(d) In the event that any Receiving Party or any of its Representatives are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Proprietary Information, Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party promptly so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Disclosing Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Lease. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Disclosing Party waives Receiving Party’s compliance with the terms of this Lease, Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required, and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Proprietary Information.

(e) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, a Receiving Party shall, to the extent permissible under Applicable Laws, at its own expense, return or destroy, within 5 days, all copies of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party in the possession or control of the Receiving Party or its Representatives. Any oral information will continue to be subject to the terms of this Lease.

(f) A Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any portion of a Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information: (a) of which the Receiving Party presently has knowledge or which is in the Receiving Party’s possession on the date hereof, and which it did not learn through its contact with the Disclosing Party or its Representatives, or from a third party who is, or was, prohibited from disclosing such Proprietary Information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to Disclosing Party; (b) which currently is or becomes publicly available, or a matter of public knowledge generally, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (c) which is lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third Party who is not, or was not, prohibited from disclosing such Proprietary Information to Receiving Party by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (d) which is developed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives independent of any disclosure of such Proprietary Information by the Disclosing Party.

(g) Each Receiving Party acknowledges that a Disclosing Party may not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Lease by a Receiving Party, or by its Representatives, and that a Disclosing Party may suffer irreparable damage and injury in such event, and each Receiving Party agrees that a Disclosing Party, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the Disclosing Party’s favor without proof of actual damages, restricting the Receiving Party from committing or continuing any violation of this Lease.
