ARTICLE III.

RENT

Section III.1. Guaranteed Rent.

(a) Interim Floor Rent Guaranty. Tenant guaranties payments to the City for Lease Year ending July 31, 2003 (and thereafter for each Lease Year until the Floor Rent Guaranty provided in subsection 3.1 (b) takes effect), as combined base rent and percentage rent from the Hotel Lease and the Casino Lease of an aggregate sum of at least $2,500,000.00, such that the total combined base rent and percentage rent payable to the Landlord by Tenant under those two leases is no less than $2,500,000.00 (the “Interim Floor”). If such payments to the City in any given Lease Year when this Interim Floor Rent Guaranty is applicable fall below the Interim Floor, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, prior to sixty (60) days following such Lease Year, the difference between the Interim Floor and the aggregate of those base and percentage rent payments made by Tenant during that preceding Lease Year.

(b) Floor Rent Guaranty. By August 31 following the earlier of either the opening of Phase I of the Facilities or eighteen (18) months from the Execution Date, Tenant shall guaranty payments to the City for the Lease Year in which such event occurs as combined base rent and percentage rent from the Hotel Lease, the Casino Lease, and this Lease of an aggregate sum of at least $2,733,000, such that total combined base rent and percentage rent payable to the Landlord by Tenant under those three leases is no less than $2,733,000 (the “Floor”). Thereafter, if payments to the City in any given Lease Year fall below the Floor, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, prior to August 31 following such Lease Year, the difference between the Floor and the aggregate of those base and percentage rent payments made by Tenant during that preceding Lease Year. The first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the greater of either the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase I Facility was open or six months. The first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the greater of either the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase I Facility was open or six months; provided that if the Phase I Facility is open in the Lease Year ending July 31, 2003, the first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase I Facility was open.

(c) Phase I Supplemental Guaranteed Rent. In addition to the rent guaranty provided in subsection (b), by August 31 following the earlier of either the opening of Phase I of the Facilities, or eighteen (18) months from the Execution Date, Tenant guaranties that Landlord will receive as Supplemental Guaranteed Rent for the Leased Premises the amount, if any, by which the “New Revenue Amount” [which is defined as the amount by which the aggregate of both i) the total of base rent and percentage rent paid to the City of Biloxi under the Hotel Lease and the Casino Lease during the previous Lease Year period, and ii) the Percentage Rent from this Lease for the same period, exceed the sum of $2,733,000.00] of the Lease Year in which such event occurs, and thereafter for each Lease Year, is less than the sum of Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000.00) Dollars. For example, when it is both initiated and coupled with the guaranty set out in subsection (b) above, the Phase I Supplemental Guaranteed Rent will result in a minimum guaranteed rent to the Landlord from the aggregate of the Casino Lease, the Hotel Lease, and this Lease of at least

$3,233,000.00. The first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the greater of either the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase I Facility was open or six months; provided that if the Phase I Facility opens in the Lease Year ending July 31, 2003, the first such payment shall be prorated based upon the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase I Facility was open.

(d) Phase II Supplemental Guaranteed Rent. In addition to the rent guaranty provided in subsection (b) (and as a successor guaranty to the Phase I Supplemental Guaranteed Rent formula), on the earlier of either the August 31 following the opening of Phase II of the Facilities, or August 31, 2005, the Tenant guaranties that Landlord will receive as Supplemental Guaranteed Rent for the Leased Premises the amount, if any, by which the “New Revenue Amount” [which is defined as the amount by which the aggregate of both i) the total of base rent and percentage rent paid to the City of Biloxi under the Hotel Lease and the Casino Lease during the previous twelve month period, and ii) the Percentage Rent from this Lease for the same period, exceed the sum of $2,733,000.00] of the Lease Year in which such event occurs, and thereafter for each Lease Year, is less than the sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand ($750,000.00) Dollars. For example, when it is both initiated and coupled with the guaranty set out in subsection (b) above, the Phase II Supplemental Guaranteed Rent will result in a minimum guaranteed rent to the Landlord from the aggregate of the Casino Lease, the Hotel Lease, and this Lease of at least $3,483,000.00 [subject to the Market Adjustment provision in subsection (f) below]. The first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase II Facility was open.

(e) Phase III Supplemental Guaranteed Rent. In addition to the rent guaranty provided in subsection (b) (and as a successor guaranty to the Phase II Supplemental Guaranteed rent formula, and subject further to the operation of subsection 3.1(f)), on the earlier of either the August 31 following the opening of Phase III of the Facilities, or August 31, 2008, the Tenant guaranties that Landlord mill receive as Supplemental Guaranteed Rent for the Leased Premises the amount, if any, by which the “New Revenue Amount” [which is defined as the amount by which the aggregate of both i) the total of base rent and percentage rent paid to the City of Biloxi under the Hotel Lease and the Casino Lease during the previous twelve month period, and ii) the Percentage Rent from this Lease for the same period, exceed the sum of $2,733,000.00] of the Lease Year in which such event occurs, and thereafter for each Lease Year, is less than the sum of One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars. For example, when it is both initiated and coupled with the guaranty set out in subsection (b) above, the Phase III Supplemental Guaranteed Rent will result in a minimum guaranteed rent to the Landlord from the aggregate of the Casino Lease, the Hotel Lease, and this Lease of at least $3,733,000.00 [subject to the Market Adjustment provision in subsection (f) below]. After the Phase III Guaranteed Rent has been in effect for one year, it shall be subject to the provisions of subparagraph (f) below. The first such payment shall be pro-rated based upon the portion of the previous Lease Year that said Phase III Facility was open.

(f) Market Adjustments to Phase II Guaranty and Phase III Guaranty.

1.) Beginning one year after the Phase II Supplemental Rent Guaranty becomes applicable, in any Lease Year in which both: i) the overall gaming market in the combined ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County market falls below $1,250,000,000.00 (according to the aggregate of all gross gaming revenues reported to the Mississippi Gaming Commission for that period); and ii) the

gross gaming revenue of Tenant from its Biloxi property (according to gross gaming revenues reported to the Mississippi Gaming Commission for that period) is less than $90,000,000.00; then the Phase II Supplemental Rent Guaranty shall not be applicable but the Phase I Supplemental Rent Guaranty shall be applicable; and,

2) Beginning one year after the Phase III Supplemental Rent Guaranty becomes applicable, in any Lease Year in which both: i) the overall gaming market in the combined ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County market falls below $1,250,000,000.00 (according to the aggregate of all gross gaming revenues reported to the Mississippi Gaming Commission for that period); and ii) the gross gaming revenue of Tenant from its Biloxi property (according to gross gaming revenues reported to the Mississippi Gaming Commission for that period) falls below $100,000,000.00 but is not less than $90,000,000.00; then the Phase III Supplemental Rent Guaranty shall not be applicable but the Phase II Supplemental Rent Guaranty shall be applicable.

3) For example, after this provision (f) takes effect those specific adverse market conditions cannot reduce the cumulative minimum guaranteed rent [subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e)] below $3,233,000.00.

(g) Additional Interim Guaranteed Rent. In addition, until such time as payments under the Phase I Guaranteed Rent begin, Tenant shall annually pay the lesser of $125,000.00 (intended by Landlord and Tenant for the benefit and account of IHL as provided in the Point Cadet Settlement Agreement) or such lesser amount that Landlord (City) is required to pay IHL under Paragraph III(2) of the Point Cadet Settlement Agreement. This supplemental amount shall be over and above the rent generated by or required to be paid under the Hotel Lease and the Casino Lease, even though its amount is affected by or calculated from increases in said revenue. The first such payment shall be made one year after the last payment of rent by the City to IHL under their prior agreement (the IHL Lease). When the Phase I Guaranteed Rent payments begin, this additional guaranteed rent obligation shall terminate.

(h) The rent guaranties described in Section 3.1(c) [$500,000.00], Section 3.1(d) [$750,000.00], Section 3.1(e) [$1,000,000.00], and Section 3.1(b) [$2,733,000.00] above, as well as the floor amount upon which they are based [$2,733,000.00], shall increase every five (5) years in accordance with the Consumer Price Index based calculation set out in this paragraph. The first such increase shall take effect beginning the sixth (6^th) Lease Year, and thereafter increases shall take effect on every fifth anniversary of that date. The new numbers for each such increase shall be the previous year’s numbers increased by the increase in the Consumer Price Index, as promulgated by the U.S. Department of Labor or successor entity for the previous five (5) year period, but not to exceed a total increase of ten percent (10%) in any single five (5) year period.

(i) All rental payments provided above shall be payable to Landlord at such place as is set forth in the Point Cadet Settlement Agreement, without any demand therefor, and without any deduction or set-off whatsoever. Supplemental Guaranteed Rent payments for each applicable Lease Year must be paid within the first month (August 1-31) following that Lease Year.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Lease, Landlord may, in its discretion, construct double-deck or multi-level parking facilities.

(b) Landlord agrees that should the common areas, including the parking lots within the areas of the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project, be made available by Landlord for the non-exclusive use of additional tenants of the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project and their employees and customers after the commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall use its best efforts to require each such additional tenant to construct additional parking facilities at the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet site in an amount sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the zoning ordinances applicable to the businesses operated by those additional tenants; however, if a court of competent jurisdiction should adjudicate that Landlord is without the authority to require any such additional tenant to provide said parking, then the failure of Landlord to require it shall not be deemed a breach of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation from Landlord for such failure.

Section VII.2. Control of Common Areas by Landlord.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Lease, all parking areas, access roads, wharves and facilities which may be furnished by Landlord in or at the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project (including employee parking areas, truck way or ways, driveways, loading docks and areas, ramps, landscaped and planting areas, retaining walls, stairways, bus stops, first aid stations, comfort stations, lighting facilities, signs, music program service, if any), and all other areas and improvements for the general use, in common, of tenants, their officers, agents, employees and customers, shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect to all facilities and areas mentioned in this section.

Section VII.3. Parking Facilities.

(a) Throughout the term hereof, Tenant shall provide primary vehicular parking facilities for the use of its customers, employees and concessionaires through parking facilities constructed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, on the Leased Premises, the Access Tract, and other premises leased by Tenant.

(c) The parties acknowledge that changes may be required from time to time to the entrance of the Point Cadet project site south of U.S. Highway 90 and that it is in the best interest of both parties that such changes be made in a manner that is cosmetically appealing and safe for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, yet also accommodates as many surface parking spaces as possible. The parties agree that, subject to the approval by Tenant of the change in design to be utilized, Landlord may at its own expense redesign the entrance and portion of the parking lot fronting U.S. Highway 90 and may incorporate the area indicated in the document attached as Exhibit P-3 to the Hotel Lease into such design. A reconfiguration of the parking facilities at the Point Cadet site pursuant to this subparagraph (c) shall not be construed as a violation of subparagraph (b) of this section. It is the intent of the parties that the parcel identified by reference as Exhibit P-3 to the Hotel Lease is one and the same as that parcel described on Exhibit P-3 of the Casino Lease.

(d) Should Tenant remove or displace any parking facilities located on the Leased Premises which were designated as permanent parking or temporary parking under the Casino Lease, the Hotel Lease, or this Lease, Landlord shall neither be required to replace any such lost parking spaces nor to compensate Tenant for the loss of use of those parking spaces, and Landlord shall not be considered in default of any provision of this Lease, the Hotel Lease, or the Casino Lease regarding parking based upon the loss of such parking.

The Biloxi Port Commission shall have the authority to designate whether these parking spaces are reserved for Port Commission employees, specific lessees, contractors, or slip tenants of the Biloxi Port Commission, the general public, or any other person designated by the Biloxi Port Commission.

Section VII.4. Maintenance and Repair of Parking Facilities.

(a) Tenant will maintain in good repair and in a clean, neat and attractive condition and will supply and pay for public utilities consumed in the operation of: its parking facilities located on the Leased Premises; those parking spaces south of U.S. Highway 90 formerly designated as temporary in the Casino Lease but now designated as permanent in the Hotel Lease; and those parking spaces made available to all Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project area tenants on a non exclusive basis for Tenant’s patrons, customers or employees. For purposes hereof and for purposes of this Lease, the term “parking facilities” shall include the appurtenant landscape areas, lighting and sprinkler system.

(b) At such time in the future that the parking areas constructed, improved or maintained by Tenant shall be used jointly with another tenant or other tenants of the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet project area, other than the Biloxi Port Commission, Tenant will be entitled to demand and receive from such other tenant(s) participation in the costs of repairs, maintenance, and utility costs relating to the non-exclusive parking area(s) by way of contributions, on a fair and equitable pro-rata basis according to the respective volume of use thereof attributable to the various tenants.

Nevertheless, if Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant within fourteen (14) days of such acquisition that it will provide common public parking facilities reasonably equivalent in size and capacity and within the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project area, and within ninety (90) days from the date of such acquisition take steps to provide common public parking facilities reasonably equivalent in size and capacity and within the Biloxi Waterfront-Point Cadet Project site, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and be unaffected by such acquisition.

(b) The removal or relocation of parking spaces as contemplated by Section 7.3 of this Lease shall not be subject to the provisions of this subsection. The parties acknowledge that the parking spaces may be removed or relocated during the term(s) of this Lease upon the conditions provided in Section 7.3 and agree that such relocation or removal shall not cause this Lease to cease and terminate as contemplated above.

Landlord reserves the right to subject and/or subordinate its interest in this Lease at all times to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed upon Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises or the Access Tract, or upon the land or premises of which the Leased Premises and Access Tract are a part, or upon any building now or hereafter placed by Landlord upon the land of which the Leased Premises forms a part, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, all without the necessity of Tenant joining in any such subordination; however, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver such further instrument evidencing Tenant’s consent to the subordination by Landlord of its interest in this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request, provided Landlord’s proposed lender executes a non-disturbance agreement reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. It is further understood and agreed, however, that neither such subordination of Landlord’s interest, nor any foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, shall affect Tenant’s right to continue in possession of the Leased Premises or use of the Access Tract under the terms of this Lease so long as Tenant shall not default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Section XIV.1. Consent Required.

(a) Landlord hereby consents to the mortgage by Tenant of Tenant’s interest in this Lease as additional collateral for the financing obtained by Tenant in the amount of $500,000,000.00. Such consent is on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the consents signed by City and State in April 2002 and all of the terms and conditions of said consents are incorporated herein. Neither said mortgage nor this consent shall extend to or affect the interest of Landlord as lessor, or its reversionary interest under this Lease, or the estate of Landlord in any to any land or building and improvements now or hereafter erected on the Leased Premises or the Access Tract. Any further or additional mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall require the written consent of Landlord as provided herein, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law or otherwise. If this Lease is assigned or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant pursuant to said written consent of Landlord, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. After any approved assignment or sublease, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from liability for performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and such release unless specifically released in writing therefrom by Landlord, and sublessee or assignee specifically agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 24.10 of this Lease. Should Landlord consent to an assignment or subletting of this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to the release of liability of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant from their obligations under this Lease, provided the determination of reasonableness of a denial or release of liability may include the same factors used to determine the reasonableness of the consent to assignment or subletting but shall be an independent determination.

If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

(c) Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises and the easement over the Access Tract, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises and the Access Tract for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.

(d) In determining the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average annual minimum and percentage rents paid by Tenant from the commencement of the term to the time of default, or during the preceding three (3) full calendar years, whichever period is shorter. Without limitation of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, and regardless of whether or not Landlord shall have re-entered, relet or terminated this Lease, in the event of any default or breach by Tenant, at the election of Landlord: (i) the entire rent for the whole term of this Lease and any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be immediately due and payable, or (ii) Landlord may proceed for past-due installments and indebtedness only, reserving Landlord’s right to proceed later for the remaining installments and subsequently maturing indebtedness. All rights and remedies of Landlord, as set forth in this Lease, shall be in addition to such other rights and remedies as Landlord may have under any applicable law.

(e) To the fullest extent allowable by law, Landlord shall have a lien on the goods, furniture and effects belonging to Tenant for all rents and sums payable hereunder and all other charges due Landlord hereunder, which lien shall be superior to all other liens of any kind or character whatsoever.

The laws of the State of Mississippi shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.
