Lessor will lease such Equipment to Lessees, and Lessees will lease the
Equipment from Lessor.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

        SECTION 1.1    Definitions; Interpretation.    For all purposes hereof,
the capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in Appendix 1 to that certain Participation Agreement
dated as of even date herewith, among Lessees; Mandalay and its Subsidiaries
listed on Schedule I thereto, as Guarantors; Lessor, not in its individual
capacity, except as expressly stated therein, but solely as Trustee; the Persons
named on Schedule II thereto, as Certificate Holders; the Persons named on
Schedule III thereto, as Lenders; and Wells Fargo Bank Nevada, N.A., not in its
individual capacity, except as expressly stated therein, but solely as
Collateral Agent (as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified, the "Participation Agreement"); and the rules of
interpretation set forth in Appendix 1 to the Participation Agreement shall
apply to this Lease. All obligations imposed on "Lessee" or "Lessees" in this
Lease, and any Lease Supplement to which any Lessee is party, shall be the full
recourse, joint and several liability of all Lessees in accordance with
Section 10.20 of the Participation Agreement.

ARTICLE II
LEASE OF EQUIPMENT; LEASE TERM

        SECTION 2.1    Acceptance and Lease of the Equipment.    Lessor, subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article II of the
Participation Agreement, hereby agrees to purchase the Equipment, to accept
delivery of the Equipment and to lease all of Lessor's interest in the Equipment
to Lessees hereunder. Lessees hereby agree, expressly for the direct benefit of
Lessor, to lease the Equipment from Lessor for the Lease Term.

        SECTION 2.2    Acceptance Procedure.    Lessees hereby agree that
acceptance of delivery by Lessees of this Lease and one or more Lease
Supplements (in the form of Exhibit B, appropriately completed) with respect to
the Equipment to be accepted and leased by Lessees hereunder shall, without
further act, constitute the irrevocable acceptance by Lessees of such Equipment
for all purposes of this Lease and the other Operative Documents on and subject
to the terms set forth herein and therein and Lessees' agreement to lease such
Equipment during the Lease Term subject to the terms of this Lease and the other
Operative Documents.

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        SECTION 2.3    Lease Term.    Unless earlier terminated in accordance
herewith and with the other Operative Documents, the term of this Lease shall
include a base term (the "Base Term") commencing, on and including the Closing
Date and ending on but not including the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing
Date, and, if exercised pursuant to each of the terms and conditions of this
Lease, including Article XIX hereof, the Renewal Term (the Base Term and the
Renewal Term, if any, being collectively referred to as, the "Lease Term").

        SECTION 2.4    Title.    The Equipment is leased to Lessees without any
representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the
rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title with respect
thereto (including all Liens other than Lessor Liens) and all Applicable Laws
and Requirements of Law and any violations thereof. No Lessee shall have any
recourse against Lessor for any defect in or exception to title to any of the
Equipment other than any defect or exception resulting from Lessor Liens or a
breach by Lessor of its obligations under Article XXI.

        SECTION 2.5    Personal Property.    To the maximum extent permitted by
Applicable Laws, the parties hereto agree that the Equipment and any
Modifications shall constitute personal property and shall not be or become
fixtures or otherwise part of any real property (including any Facility) or, if
any of the Equipment shall be or become fixtures, Lessees shall execute and
deliver such documents and instruments (including the documentation described in
Section 2.4 (c)(viii) of the Participation Agreement) and take or authorize the
taking of such action to perfect and/or maintain at all relevant times a
perfected first priority Lien in favor of Lessor in and to any and all such
Equipment and to provide Lessor and Collateral Agent customary access rights
with respect thereto. No Lessee shall enter into or be a party to any lease or
mortgage of any real property on which any portion of the Equipment is or is to
be located or enter into any other agreement which grants to any Person any
right to any portion of the Equipment by reason of such portion being an
accession to any real property owned by such Person to the extent such lease or
mortgage would constitute a Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF RENT

        SECTION 3.1    Rent.    

        (a)  During the Lease Term, Lessees, jointly and severally, shall pay
(i) the interest component of Basic Rent on each Payment Date, on the date
required under Section 20.1(i) in connection with Lessees' exercise of the Sale
Option and on any date on which this Lease shall terminate with respect to the
Equipment and (ii) the principal component of Basic Rent on each Payment Date
set forth on Schedule I hereto.

        (b)  Basic Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United
States of America and shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.3 of the
Participation Agreement on the due date therefor.

        (c)  Any Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or any
portion of the Equipment when accepted or deemed accepted hereunder, whether or
not attributable to any act or omission of any Lessee or any act or omission of
Lessor or any other Person, shall not delay or otherwise affect Lessees'
obligation to pay Rent in accordance with and subject to the terms of this
Lease, including the provisions for early termination hereof.

        SECTION 3.2    Payment of Basic Rent.    Basic Rent shall be paid
absolutely net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full
amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction.

        SECTION 3.3    Supplemental Rent.    Lessees, jointly and severally,
shall pay to Lessor or the Person entitled thereto any and all Supplemental Rent
promptly as the same shall become due and

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payable, and if Lessees fail to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all
rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise
in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessees, jointly and severally, shall
pay to Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws and all Requirements of Law, interest at the
Applicable Default Rate on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for
the period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment of
Supplemental Rent payable to Lessor or any Indemnitee not paid when due or
demanded pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof and the other
Operative Documents by Lessor or any Indemnitee for the period from the due date
or the date of any such demand, as the case may be, until the same shall be
paid. The expiration or other termination of Lessees' obligations to pay Basic
Rent hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessees with respect
to Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessees to pay and discharge any
Supplemental Rent as and when due, Lessees shall also promptly pay and discharge
any fine, penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added under any
agreement with a third party for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental
Rent, all of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.

        SECTION 3.4    Method of Payment.    Each payment of Rent and other
amounts owing pursuant to the Operative Documents shall be made by Agent Lessee
to Collateral Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., Nevada time, to the account at
Collateral Agent designated on Schedule IV to the Participation Agreement (or in
the case of Excluded Amounts, directly to the Person entitled thereto) in funds
consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be
immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due,
unless such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of
such extension would be to carry the date of such payment into another calendar
month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. Payments received after 10:00 a.m., Nevada time, on the date due
shall for the purpose of Section 16.1 hereof be deemed received on such day;
provided, however, that for the purposes of the second sentence of Section 3.3
hereof, such payments shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business
Day and subject to interest at the Applicable Default Rate as provided in such
Section 3.3.

ARTICLE IV
QUIET ENJOYMENT; RIGHT TO INSPECT

        SECTION 4.1    Non-Interference.    Subject to Lessor's cure rights, as
provided for in Section 17.1, Lessor covenants that it will not interfere with
any Lessee's use or possession of the Equipment during the Lease Term, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it being agreed that
Lessee's remedies for breach of the foregoing covenant shall be limited to a
claim for damages or the commencement of proceedings to enjoin such breach. Such
right is independent of and shall not affect Lessees' obligations hereunder and
under the other Operative Documents or Lessor's rights otherwise to initiate
legal action to enforce the obligations of Lessees under this Lease. The
foregoing covenant shall not require Lessor to take any action contrary to, or
which would permit any Lessee to use any of the Equipment for a use not
permitted under, the provisions of this Lease.

        SECTION 4.2    Inspection and Reports.    

        (a)  Upon two (2) Business Days prior notice to Agent Lessee, Lessor or
its authorized representatives (the "Inspecting Parties") may inspect (i) any
Facility and the Equipment and (ii) the books and records of Lessees relating to
the Equipment and may make copies and abstracts therefrom and may discuss the
affairs, finance and accounts with respect to the Equipment with any Lessee's
officers. All such inspections shall be during the applicable Lessee's normal
business hours (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is existing), shall
be subject to such Lessee's customary safety and security provisions, shall be
conducted in compliance with any

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

applicable Gaming Laws and shall be at the expense and risk of the Inspecting
Parties, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lessees shall reimburse the Inspecting Parties for the reasonable costs of such
inspections and, except for the Inspecting Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, such inspection shall be at Lessees' risk. No inspection shall
unreasonably interfere with any applicable Lessee's operations. None of the
Inspecting Parties shall have any duty to make any such inspection or inquiry.
None of the Inspecting Parties shall incur any liability or obligation by reason
of making any such inspection or inquiry unless and to the extent such
Inspecting Party causes damage to the applicable Equipment or any property of
any applicable Lessee or any other Person during the course of such inspection.

        (b)  To the extent permissible under Applicable Laws, Lessees shall
prepare and file in timely fashion, or, where Lessor shall be required to file,
Lessees shall prepare and make available to Lessor within a reasonable time
prior to the date for filing and Lessor shall file, any reports with respect to
the condition or operation of any Equipment that shall be required to be filed
with any Governmental Agency.

ARTICLE V
NET LEASE, ETC.

        SECTION 5.1    Net Lease.    This Lease shall constitute a net lease and
Lessees' obligations to pay all Rent shall be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances. Any present or future law to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall any Lessee be
entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff,
counterclaim, or defense with respect to any Rent, nor shall the obligations of
any Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein permitted and by
performance of the obligations in connection therewith), by reason of: (i) any
defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or
fitness for use of the Equipment or any part thereof, or the failure of any of
the Equipment to comply with all Applicable Laws and Requirements of Law,
including any inability to use any of the Equipment by reason of such
non-compliance; (ii) except as provided in Section 14.1 with respect to the
adjustment of Basic Rent upon payment of any Casualty Amount, any damage to,
removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination of, or Release from,
demolition, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of any
Facility or any of the Equipment or any part thereof; (iii) any restriction,
prevention, interruption or curtailment of or interference with any use,
operation or possession of any Facility or any of the Equipment; (iv) any defect
in title to, interests in or rights to any of the Equipment or any Lien on such
title, interests or rights or on any Facility or any of the Equipment (provided,
that the foregoing shall not relieve any Person from its responsibility to
remove Lessor Liens attributable to it); (v) any change, waiver, extension,
indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or
liability of or by Lessor, Collateral Agent or any Participant; (vi) to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like
proceedings relating to any Lessee, Guarantor, Lessor, Collateral Agent, any
Participant or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease
by any trustee or receiver of any Lessee, Lessor, Collateral Agent, any
Participant or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
(vii) any claim that any Lessee has or might have against any Person, including
any Participant, or any vendor, designer, manufacturer, or contractor of or for
any of the Equipment; (viii) any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Lease, of any other Operative Document or
of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or illegality or
disaffirmance of this Lease against or by any Lessee or any provision hereof or
any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (x) any
impossibility or illegality of performance by any Lessee, Lessor or any one or
more of them; (xi) any action by any court, administrative agency or other
Governmental Agency; (xii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or
interference with the use of any Facility or the Equipment or any part thereof;
(xiii) any failure of

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Lessee to achieve any accounting or tax benefits or the characterization of
the transaction intended by the parties as set forth at Section 24.1 hereof and
Section 4.1 of the Participation Agreement; or (xiv) any other cause or
circumstances whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not
any Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Each Lessee's
agreement in the preceding sentence shall not affect any claim, action or right
such Lessee may have against any Person. The parties to the Operative Documents
intend that the obligations of Lessees hereunder shall be covenants and
agreements that are separate and independent from any obligations of Lessor
hereunder or under any other Operative Documents and the obligations of Lessees
shall continue unaffected unless such obligations shall have been modified or
terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.

        SECTION 5.2    No Termination or Abatement.    Each Lessee shall remain
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the terms of the
other Operative Documents and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or
avoid this Lease (except as provided herein) to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Laws, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting Lessor,
Collateral Agent or any Participant, or any action with respect to this Lease
which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor, Collateral
Agent or any Participant or by any court with respect to Lessor, Collateral
Agent or any Participant. Each Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws, all right to terminate or surrender this Lease (except as
provided herein) or to avail itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment,
reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent. Each Lessee
shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the
terms of the other Operative Documents and each Lessee hereby waives, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any and all rights now or hereafter
conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with
its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise,
Lessees, jointly and severally, shall be bound by all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE VI
SUBLEASES

        SECTION 6.1    Subleases.    Except for subleases permitted by this
Article VI, no Lessee shall have the right to assign, mortgage or pledge to any
Person, including an Affiliate of any Lessee or Mandalay, at any time, in whole
or in part, any of its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease, or
any portion of the Equipment, in any case without the prior written consent of
the Required Participants, and any such assignment, mortgage or pledge shall be
void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lessee may, without the consent of
Lessor or the Required Participants and so long as no Event of Default exists
and is continuing, enter into a sublease of all of its rights and obligations
under this Lease with a wholly-owned, direct or indirect, Subsidiary of
Mandalay.

        With respect to any sublease permitted under this Article VI, no Lessee
shall sublease any interest with respect to this Lease to, or permit any such
sublease by, any Person who shall then be engaged in any proceedings for relief
under any Debtor Relief Law. The sublease for any Equipment subject to a
sublease permitted under this Article VI must provide (and the relevant Lessee
shall assure) that such Equipment shall be used and operated only at one of the
Facilities or, in the case of Slot Machines, at a casino or other gaming
establishment operated by Mandalay or any of its Affiliates provided that with
respect to any such sublease of Slot Machines at a location other than a
Facility, Lessees shall have executed and delivered, or caused to be executed
and delivered, to Lessor and Collateral Agent, any and all such documents as
Trustee and/or Collateral Agent may reasonably require in order to create,
perfect, preserve and protect Lessor's Lien in such Sublease and Slot Machines
and ensure Lessor's and Collateral Agent's access to such Slot Machines. The
Lessees shall not permit any sublessee to engage in activities in respect of the
Equipment which are substantially different from Lessees' activities.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        No sublease permitted hereunder will (a) discharge or diminish any
Lessee's or any Guarantor's obligations under any Operative Document, including
Lessees' obligations under this Lease or under any other Operative Document, and
Lessees shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease and the
other Operative Documents with respect to all of the Equipment or (b) extend
beyond the last day of the Lease Term. In addition, each sublease permitted
hereby (x) shall be made and shall expressly provide that it is subject and
subordinate to this Lease and the rights of Lessor hereunder, (y) shall
expressly provide for the surrender of the Equipment subleased by the applicable
sublessee at the election of Lessor after the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, and (z) shall expressly prohibit any further sublease by such
sublessee of the Equipment subject thereto or the granting or existence of any
Liens on the Equipment subject thereto. The effectiveness of a sublease
hereunder shall be conditioned upon the receipt by Lessor of a writing executed
by Lessee, the applicable sublessee and Guarantors, and acceptable in form and
substance to Lessor (acting at the direction of the Required Participants)
(each, a "Sublease"), reaffirming that Lessees and Guarantors shall remain
primarily liable hereunder and under the other Operative Documents,
notwithstanding such Sublease and confirming that the applicable Lessee will
serve as the representative of any such sublessee with the authority, on behalf
of such sublessee, to bind such sublessee with respect to the Operative
Documents or any amendment, modification or waiver thereunder and shall have the
power and authority to receive and give all notifications, consents, payments
and deliveries under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. No Lessee
shall assign or pledge any of its rights under any Sublease to any Person other
than Lessor or Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Participants.

        Agent Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of any Sublease
permitted under this Article VI, and Agent Lessee shall, within fifteen
(15) days after execution of any Sublease, deliver to Lessor the fully executed
original of such Sublease and any and all other documents and instruments as
Lessor (acting at the direction of the Required Participants) may reasonably
require.

ARTICLE VII
LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

        SECTION 7.1    Condition of the Equipment.    EACH LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES
AND AGREES THAT ALTHOUGH LESSOR WILL OWN AND HOLD LEGAL TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT,
LESSEES, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, ARE RESPONSIBLE (A) FOR THE SELECTION OF THE
EQUIPMENT, EACH PART THEREOF AND THE MANUFACTURER THEREOF AND THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS RELATING TO THE MANUFACTURE, PURCHASE AND SHIPMENT THEREOF, (B) FOR
THE DESIGN, SIZE, CAPACITY, DEVELOPMENT, BUDGETING, CONSTRUCTION, SHIPMENT,

EQUIPMENT "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED) BY LESSOR, COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND IN EACH CASE

SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAVING AN INTEREST IN THE EQUIPMENT, BUT EXCLUDING
LESSOR LIENS), (B) THE RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF AND ANY SUCH
PERSON'S SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, INVITEES, LICENSEES, LESSEES, SUBLESSEES OR ANY
OTHER PERSONS CLAIMING BY OR THROUGH ANY SUCH PERSON, (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS
WHICH AN ACCURATE PHYSICAL INSPECTION MIGHT SHOW, AND (D) VIOLATIONS OF
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW WHICH MAY EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF OR ON THE

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DELIVERY DATE FOR THE EQUIPMENT. NONE OF LESSOR, COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OF THE
PARTICIPANTS HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION,
WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY
LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE (OTHER THAN FOR LESSOR LIENS),
MERCHANTABILITY, VALUE, HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, OR
FITNESS FOR USE FOR ANY PURPOSE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF),
THE ABILITY OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO PERFORM ANY FUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, (OR ANY PART THEREOF) AND NONE OF LESSOR,
COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT,
HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREIN (OTHER THAN FOR LESSOR LIENS) OR THE FAILURE OF
ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY REQUIREMENT OF
LAW. Each Lessee has been afforded full opportunity to inspect the Equipment to
be leased by it hereunder, is satisfied with the results of its inspections, is
satisfied that all such Equipment is suitable for its purposes and is entering
into this Lease solely on the basis of the results of its own inspections, and
all risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentence, as
between Lessor, the Collateral Agent and the Participants, on the one hand, and
such Lessee, on the other, are to be borne by such Lessee unless herein
expressly stated otherwise. The provisions of this Section 7.1 have been
negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing
provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any
representations or warranties by any of Lessor, Collateral Agent or the
Participants, express or implied, with respect to the Equipment (or any interest
therein), that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect or
otherwise.

        SECTION 7.2    Risk of Loss.    The risk of loss of or decrease in the
enjoyment and beneficial use of the Equipment as a result of the damage or
destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or
otherwise is assumed by Lessees, and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or
accountable therefor.

        SECTION 7.3    Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Lessor.    Lessor
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth herein and in the other Operative Documents, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Lease against Lessor, and Lessor agrees that
it shall not, nor shall it have a duty to, manage, control, use, sell, maintain,
insure, register, lease, operate, modify, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Equipment or any other part of the Trust Estate in any manner whatsoever, except
as required by the terms of the Operative Documents and as otherwise provided
herein.

ARTICLE VIII

        SECTION 8.1    Possession and Use of the Equipment.    Lessees may take
possession of the Equipment and may use the same beginning on the Advance Date
and continuing thereafter during the Lease Term. Lessees agree that, unless
otherwise then subject to a Sublease permitted under Section 6.1, the Equipment
will be used solely in the conduct of Lessees' business at one or more of the
Facilities or, in the case of Slot Machines, at a casino or other gaming
establishment located in Nevada operated by one or more Lessees, provided that
where any Slot Machine is used at a location other than a Facility, the
applicable Lessee(s) shall obtain and provide to the Lessor the documents of the
type described in Section 2.4(c)(viii) of the Participation Agreement, any and
all such documents as Trustee and/or Collateral Agent may reasonably require in
order to create, perfect, preserve and protect Lessor's and Collateral Agent's
respective Liens in such Sublease and Slot Machines and ensure Lessor's and
Collateral Agent's access to such Slot Machines. No Lessee shall use the

any part thereof for any purpose or in any manner that would adversely affect
the Fair Market Value, utility, remaining useful life or residual value of the
Equipment. No Lessee shall (a) use, operate, maintain or store at any time prior
to the Expiration Date any item of Equipment or any portion thereof in violation
of this Section 8.1, Section 9.1 or any Insurance Requirement; (b) abandon any
item of Equipment; or (c) except in connection with the permitted return of the
Equipment, permit any item of Equipment to be located in any jurisdiction other

be used and operated under and in compliance in all material respects with any
contracts or agreements, or regulations of Governmental Agencies applicable to
the use, maintenance or operation of the Equipment, or any portion thereof, to
which such Lessee or Lessor is a party or by which any Lessee or Lessor or the
applicable Facility (or other casino or gaming establishment, as the case may
be) is bound or under which any of them have rights. At all times during the
Lease Term, the Equipment shall be in the possession of Lessees, wholly-owned,
direct or indirect, Subsidiaries of Mandalay that are permitted sublessees or
another permitted sublessee, in the ordinary course of its business. Lessees
shall pay, or cause to be paid, all charges and costs required in connection
with the use of the Equipment as contemplated by this Lease and the other
Operative Documents. During the Lease Term, Lessees assume and agree to perform
on behalf of Lessor all of Lessor's obligations as owner of the Equipment and to
pay all fees, charges, costs, expenses, assessments, taxes (if any),
impositions, utilities (if any) and other amounts payable by Lessor as such
owner during the Lease Term and which relate to or arise in connection with the
purchase, disposition, ownership, lease or use of the Equipment, governmental
actions or other rights, privileges or entitlements required to be paid in
connection with the Equipment. All charges for utilities, (if any) imposed with
respect to the Equipment for a billing period during which this Lease expires or
terminates (except when Lessees purchase the Equipment in accordance with the
terms of this Lease, in which case Lessees shall be solely responsible for all
such charges) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessees
and any purchaser or purchasers of the Equipment, and each party shall pay or
reimburse the other for each party's pro rata share thereof; provided, that in
no event shall Lessor have any liability therefor.

Requirements.    Subject to the terms of Article XII relating to Permitted
Contests, Lessees, at their sole cost and expense, shall comply in all material
respects with all Requirements of Law (including all Environmental Laws) and
Insurance Requirements and manufacturer's operating standards and guidelines
relating to the Facilities or any of the Equipment, including the use,
construction, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration thereof and the
remarketing thereof pursuant to Article XX, whether or not compliance therewith
shall require structural or extraordinary changes in the Equipment or interfere
with the use and enjoyment of the Equipment, and procure, maintain and comply
with (or cause to be procured, maintained and complied with) all licenses,
permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the
use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Equipment.

Lessees, at their own expense, shall at all times (a) maintain the Equipment in
as good an operating and mechanical condition as when delivered, subject to
ordinary wear and tear, and in any event in accordance with standards no lower
than the highest of those applied by the Lease Obligors or any of their
Affiliates to similar equipment owned or leased by them; (b) maintain the
Equipment in accordance with prudent industry practice and all Applicable Laws,
whether or not such maintenance requires structural modifications; (c) comply in
all respects with, and maintain the Equipment in accordance with, all Insurance
Requirements and the terms of all contracts (including service contracts) which
are in effect at any time with respect to the Equipment or any part thereof and
in accordance with standard industry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maintenance practices as required to maintain in full force and effect all
warranties applicable to the Equipment; (d) use the Equipment only in accordance
with Article VIII and cause the Equipment to have at all times the capacity and
functional ability to be used, on a continuing basis and in commercial
operation, in accordance with Article VIII except during any period for which
any Casualty or Condemnation prevents such use; (e) make all necessary or
appropriate repairs, replacements and renewals of the Equipment or any part
thereof which may be required to keep the Equipment in the condition required by
the preceding clauses (a) through (d), whether interior or exterior, structural
or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, and
including repairs, replacements and renewals that would constitute capital
expenditures under GAAP if incurred by an owner of property; and (f) procure,
maintain and comply in all material respects with all material licenses,
permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the
manufacture, installation, construction, use, maintenance and operation of the

maintenance of the Equipment or any Part thereof (including periodicity of
maintenance or record keeping in respect of the Equipment and including
discrimination with respect to the installation of any Modifications required by
Applicable Laws that may be phased in over a period of time or any
discrimination based on the leased, rather than owned, status of the Equipment)
as compared to properties of a similar nature in which any Lessee has any
ownership or leasehold interest. Each Lessee waives any right that it may now
have or hereafter acquire to (x) require Lessor to maintain, repair, replace,
alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of the Equipment or (y) make repairs at
the expense of Lessor pursuant to any Applicable Laws or other agreements.

        SECTION 9.2    Maintenance and Repair Reports.    During the Lease Term,
Lessees shall keep or cause to be kept maintenance and repair reports, records,
logs and other materials required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental
Agency having jurisdiction over all or any part of the Equipment, in sufficient
detail, on the same basis as records are kept for similar properties owned or
leased by any Lease Obligor or any Affiliates thereof. Such reports, records,
logs and other materials shall be kept on file by Agent Lessee at its offices
during the Lease Term, and shall be made available at Agent Lessee's office to
Lessor upon reasonable request. Agent Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor
of any Condemnation or Casualty promptly after any Lessee has knowledge thereof.
Agent Lessee shall prepare and deliver to Lessor and the Participants within a
reasonable time prior to the required date of filing (or, to the extent
permissible, file on behalf or Lessor and the Participants) any and all reports
(other than income tax returns) to be filed by Lessor or any Participant with
any Governmental Agency or other Person by reason of the ownership by Lessor or
any Participant of the Equipment or the leasing thereof to Lessees. Lessor
agrees to inform Agent Lessee of any request for such reports received by it.

ARTICLE X
MODIFICATIONS, SUBSTITUTIONS, ETC.

        SECTION 10.1    Alterations and Modifications.    

        (a)  On and after the Advance Date (i) each Lessee, at its own cost and
expense, shall make or cause to be made alterations, renovations, improvements
and additions to the Equipment leased by it (or any Part thereof and
substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, "Modifications")) which
are (A) necessary to repair or maintain such Equipment in the condition required
by Section 9.1; (B) necessary in order for such Equipment to be in compliance in
all material respects with Applicable Laws or Insurance Requirements; or
(C) necessary or advisable to restore such Equipment to its condition existing
prior to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent required pursuant to
Article XIV; and (ii) so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default has
occurred and is continuing, such Lessee, at its own cost and expense, may
undertake, or cause or permit to be undertaken, Modifications to such Equipment
so long as such

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modifications comply with Applicable Laws and with Section 9.1 and subsection
(b) of this Section 10.1.

        (b)  The making of any Modifications must be in compliance with the
following requirements:

(i)No such Modifications in respect of any Equipment with a cost exceeding
$250,000 shall be made or undertaken except upon not less than thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to Lessor (except in the case of an emergency).

(ii)No Lessee shall make or cause or permit to be made any Modifications in
violation of the terms of any restriction, condition, covenant or other similar
matter affecting title to or interests in, or binding on, any of the Equipment
or that cause any of the Equipment to be suitable for use only by one or more of
the Lessees.

(iii)No Modifications shall be undertaken until the applicable Lessee shall have
procured and paid for (or shall have caused to be procured and paid for), so far
as the same may be required from time to time, all required permits and
authorizations relating to such Modifications of all Governmental Agencies
having jurisdiction over the applicable Equipment. Lessor, at Lessees' expense,
shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute
and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is
necessary or advisable.

(iv)The Modifications shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in
compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws then in effect and
the standards imposed by any insurance policies required to be maintained
hereunder or by the manufacturer in order to maintain all warranties in full
force and effect.

(v)All Modifications shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not
adversely affect the Fair Market Value, utility, remaining economic useful life
or residual value of the affected Equipment from the Fair Market Value, utility,
remaining economic useful life or residual value thereof immediately prior to
the making thereof or, in the case of Modifications being made by virtue of a
Casualty or Condemnation, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty
or Condemnation; provided, that with respect to any Modification made to meet
the requirements of any Applicable Law, or any Governmental Agency having
jurisdiction or any insurance policy required hereunder, the applicable Lessee
may make such Modification (a "Nonconforming Modification") without regard to
any decrease in the Fair Market Value, utility, remaining economic useful life
or residual value of the affected Equipment, but only to the extent that such
Lessee has made commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such decrease. If
such Modifications in respect of any of the Equipment have a cost exceeding
$5,000,000 and if requested by Collateral Agent on behalf of the Required
Participants, Lessor may engage the Appraiser at Lessees' sole cost and expense,
to determine (by appraisal or other methods satisfactory to Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Required Participants) the projected Fair Market Value of the
affected Equipment as of the completion of the Modifications relating thereto.

(vi)Each Lessee shall have made or caused to have been made adequate
arrangements for payment of the cost of all Modifications when due so that the
affected Equipment shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials
supplied or claimed to have been supplied to such Equipment, other than
Permitted Liens.

        SECTION 10.2    Title to Modifications.    Ownership in all
Modifications in respect of the Equipment shall, without further act, vest in
Lessor and shall be deemed to constitute a part of the Equipment and be subject
to this Lease.

10

        SECTION 10.3    Optional Equipment Substitutions.    Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth below, any applicable Lessee shall have the right
to substitute items of Equipment or Systems (each, a "Substitution Item" or
"Substitution System", as applicable) for items of Equipment or Systems which it
then leases (or has theretofore proposed to lease) under this Lease. For
purposes hereof, "Substitution Items" and "Substitution Systems" are different
from Parts in that Substitution Items and Substitution Systems are intended to
mean items of equipment or systems that are not originally contemplated to be
subject to this Lease. Lessees' substitution rights pursuant to this
Section 10.3 shall be subject to the following conditions:

        (a)  Equipment Other Than Slot Machines. With respect to Equipment other

substitute a Substitution Item for the substituted item of Equipment or
Substitution System for the substituted System, (ii) a description of the
intended Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, and (iii) a
proposed closing date for such substitution (the "Substitution Date");

(ii)Agent Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor and Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Participants not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
Substitution Date any and all further information regarding the intended
Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, as may be reasonably
required by Lessor or any Participant for the purpose of evaluating the intended
Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, and whether it should
be deemed acceptable substitution property for the substituted item of Equipment
or System, as the case may be;

(iii)Any Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, shall (A) have
the same or greater Fair Market Value, economic useful life and utility as the
substituted item of Equipment or System, as the case may be, and (B) relate to,
complement or otherwise be materially associated with the business of Lessees
and their Affiliates;

(iv)No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(v)Lessor, acting at the direction of the Required Participants, shall have
approved the Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, as
qualifying Equipment (such approval right of the Participants to be exercised
reasonably from the perspective of secured creditors) and such Lessee shall have
otherwise satisfied such terms and conditions regarding the inclusion of such
Substitution Item or Substitution System, as applicable, as Equipment as may be
reasonably required by Lessor, acting at the direction of the Required
Participants, on or before the Substitution Date.

        (b)  Slot Machines. Lessees shall be permitted to freely substitute Slot
Machines subject to the Lease from time to time provided that:

(i)Agent Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Collateral Agent, within 60 days
after the end of each Fiscal Quarter or, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence, a written report (a
"Slot Machine Report"), certified by a Responsible Official, specifying in
detail satisfactory to Lessor and Collateral Agent: (i) the Slot Machines then
subject to this Lease; (ii) the Slot Machines, if any, substituted and replaced
since the date of the immediately preceding delivered Slot Machine Report (other
than with respect to the first Slot Machine Report delivered hereunder);
(iii) the Slot Machines constituting Substitution Items during the quarterly
period covered by such Slot Machine Report; and (iv) in each of the foregoing
instances, the type, serial number (or other similar identification
information), invoice cost, age and the applicable Substitution Date of each
such Slot Machine;

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)Agent Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Collateral Agent (on behalf of the
Participants) all further information regarding the Slot Machines, or any
portion thereof, described in any Slot Machine Report as may be reasonably
required by Lessor, Collateral Agent or any Participant, and in any event shall
deliver to Collateral Agent a bill of sale dated as of the date of the
applicable Substitution Date transferring title to the relevant Substitution
Slot Machine(s) to Lessor as of such date;

(iii)Any Slot Machine or group of Slot Machines constituting Substitution Items
(each, a "Substitution Slot Machine") shall have the same or greater Fair Market
Value, economic useful life and utility as the Slot Machine(s) for which it or
they are substituted;

(iv)No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(v)Upon written request, Agent Lessee shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, all such documents as Lessor or Collateral Agent may
reasonably require to perfect and/or maintain at all relevant times a perfected
first priority Lien in favor of Lessor in and to any and all such Slot Machines
and to provide Lessor and Collateral Agent customary access rights with respect
thereto.

Upon a permitted substitution of Equipment or System, as applicable, pursuant to
this Section 10.3 Lessor shall execute such documents as may be required to
release the substituted item of Equipment or System, as applicable, from the
terms of this Lease, at Lessees' expense. Upon such substitution pursuant to
this Section 10.3, the substituted item of Equipment or Substitution System, as
applicable, shall become the property of the applicable Lessee, and title
thereto shall automatically vest in such Lessee upon such permitted
substitution.

ARTICLE XI

        SECTION 11.1    Covenants with Respect to Liens.    

        (a)  No Lessee shall directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to any
portion of the Equipment, Lessor's title to the Equipment, or any interest
therein, and Lessees shall protest any such Lien and diligently pursue the
defense thereof. Lessees, at their own expense, shall promptly pay, satisfy and
otherwise take such actions as may be necessary to keep the Equipment free and
clear of, and duly to discharge, eliminate or bond in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and Collateral Agent, any such Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) not accepted above if the same shall arise at any time.

        (b)  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting
the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to or for the performance
by any contractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any
labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction,
alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Equipment or any part
thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NONE OF LESSOR, COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OF

FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO ANY LESSEE OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE EQUIPMENT,
OR ANY PART THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREIN THROUGH OR UNDER ANY LESSEE, AND THAT NO
MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH
TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR, COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY PARTICIPANT IN AND
TO THE EQUIPMENT.

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE XII
PERMITTED CONTESTS

        SECTION 12.1    Permitted Contests in Respect of Applicable Laws.    If,
to the extent and for so long as (a) a test, challenge, appeal or proceeding for
review of any Applicable Laws relating to any of the Equipment or the obligation
to comply therewith shall be prosecuted diligently and in good faith in
appropriate proceedings by any applicable Lessee or (b) compliance with such
Applicable Laws shall have been excused or exempted by a valid nonconforming
use, variance, permit, waiver, extension or forbearance, following the Closing

Laws but only if and so long as any such test, challenge, appeal, proceeding,
waiver, extension, forbearance or noncompliance shall not, in the reasonable
opinion of Lessor, acting at the direction of the Required Participants, involve
(A) any risk of criminal liability being imposed on Lessor, Collateral Agent,
any Participant, any of the Equipment or (B) any material risk of (1) the
foreclosure, forfeiture or loss of any of the Equipment, or any material part
thereof, or (2) the nonpayment of Rent, Lease Balance or other amount payable
under the Operative Documents, (3) the interruption or cancellation of any
insurance coverage, (4) the invalidity or lapse of any warranty, (5) any sale
of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, any part of

proceedings be brought by or in the name of Lessor or it is customary in the
applicable jurisdiction for an owner to join in such proceedings; and in that
event Lessor shall join in the proceedings or permit them or any part thereof to
be brought in its name if and so long as (i) Lessees have not elected the Sale

shall provide or cause to be provided insurance with respect to the Equipment
and the Facilities of a character usually insured by Persons engaged in the same
or similar business similarly situated against loss or damage of the kinds and
in the amounts customarily insured against by such Persons, and carry such other
insurance as is usually carried by such Persons; provided, that in any event
Lessees shall maintain or cause to be maintained at all times:

coverage providing coverage against claims for third-party bodily injury,
including death and third-party property damage occurring on, in or about the
Facilities (including environmental hazard insurance) in an amount at least
equal to $100,000,000 per occurrence. Subject to Section 13.2(b), such coverage

umbrella and excess liability policies.

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (b)  Property Insurance. Insurance against loss or damage covering the
Equipment or any Facility or any portion thereof by reason of any Casualty in an
amount as is carried by Persons owning and/or operating similar properties
(subject to such deductibles and/or self-insurance in such minimum amounts as is
carried by Persons owning and/or operating similar properties); provided, that
at no time shall the amount of such coverage with respect to the Equipment be
less than the Lease Balance.

        (c)  Workers' Compensation. Lessees shall, in the construction of any
Modifications and the operation of the Equipment or any Facility, comply with
the applicable workers' compensation laws and protect Lessor, Collateral Agent

carried by Lessees or their Affiliates for similar properties owned or leased by
any of them or by other owners of similar properties, in such amounts and
against such risks as are then customary for properties similar in use.

        SECTION 13.2    Insurance Coverage.    The insurance coverage required
in Section 13.1 shall be written by reputable insurance companies that are
financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably appropriate considering
the amount and type of insurance being provided by such companies. Any insurance
company selected by any Lessee shall be rated in A.M. Best's Insurance Guide or
any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a similar
national reputation) and shall have a general policyholder rating of "A" (or
comparable rating for a rating by an organization other than A.M. Best) and a
financial rating of at least "VII" (or comparable rating for a rating by ISI or
Standard & Poor's Corporation or another organization other than A.M. Best) or
be otherwise acceptable to the Required Participants. In the case of liability
insurance maintained by any Lessee, such insurance shall name Lessor (both in
its individual capacity and as trustee), Collateral Agent (both individually and
in its capacity as Collateral Agent) and each of the Participants, as additional
insureds and, in the case of property insurance, shall name Collateral Agent as
sole loss payee. Each policy referred to in Section 13.1 shall provide that:

allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to Lessor and Collateral Agent; (ii) to the extent
available on a commercially reasonable basis, the interests of Lessor,
Collateral Agent and any Participant shall not be invalidated by any act or
negligence of or breach of warranty or representation by any Lessee or any other
Person having an interest in the Equipment; (iii) such insurance is primary with
respect to any other insurance carried by or available to Lessor, Collateral
Agent or any Participant; (iv) the insurer shall waive any right of subrogation,
setoff, counterclaim, or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,
against Lessor, Collateral Agent or any Participant; (v) such policy shall
contain a cross-liability clause providing for coverage of Lessor, Collateral
Agent and each Participant, as if separate policies had been issued to each of
them; and (vi) such policy shall provide that none of Lessor, Collateral Agent
or any Participant shall have any obligation or liability for payment of any
premiums, commissions, claims or assessments. Agent Lessee shall notify Lessor
and Collateral Agent promptly of any policy cancellation, reduction in policy
limits, or material modification or amendment.

        SECTION 13.3    Delivery of Insurance Certificates.    At the time any
insurance policy of any Lessee is renewed (but in no event less frequently than
once each year) or upon written request by Lessor following a Lease Event of
Default, Agent Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Collateral Agent
certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance required by Sections
13.1 and 13.2 to be maintained is in effect.

        SECTION 13.4    Insurance by Lessor, Collateral Agent or any
Participant.    Each of Lessor, Collateral Agent or any Participant may at its
own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Equipment
provided that (i) Lessee's insurance is designated as primary and in no event
excess or contributory to any insurance Lessor, Collateral Agent or any
Participant may have in force which

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

would apply to a loss covered under such Lessee's insurance policy, (ii) each
such insurance policy will not cause such Lessee's insurance required under this
Article XIII to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind, and
(iii) each such insurance policy shall contain a waiver of any right of
subrogation, set-off, counterclaim, or other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, against such Lessee or any other Lease Obligor. Any insurance
payments received from policies maintained by Lessor, Collateral Agent or any
Participant shall be retained by Lessor, Collateral Agent or such Participant,
as the case may be, without reducing or otherwise affecting any Lessee's
obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XIV
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION; ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        SECTION 14.1    Casualty.    Upon the occurrence of a Casualty prior to
or during the term of this Lease, Agent Lessee shall give Lessor and Collateral
Agent prompt written notice thereof (a "Casualty Notice"). The Casualty Notice
shall specify whether Lessees will:

        (a)  pay to Trustee, for the benefit of the Participants, the Casualty
Amount of the Equipment suffering such Casualty (provided that if the Equipment
suffering such Casualty is part of a System and, as a result of such Casualty,
such System, taken as a whole, shall have suffered a Casualty, then Lessees
shall pay to Trustee, for the benefit of the Participants, a Casualty Amount for
such System), which payment (together with any Supplemental Rent (whether
arising as a result of Section 9.7(d) of the Participation Agreement or
otherwise) then due) shall be made no later than the later of (i) sixty
(60) days after the occurrence of the Casualty or (ii) the next Payment Date
occurring after such Casualty (the "Casualty Settlement Date"), provided that in
any event the Casualty Settlement Date shall be no later than the last day of
the Lease Term; or

        (b)  replace such Equipment with respect to which the Casualty has
occurred pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 14.1;

provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, Lessees shall be obligated, at the option of the Required
Participants, to make the payments referred to in clause (a) above and shall not
be entitled to exercise any right of replacement pursuant to clause (b).

        If Lessees have elected, or are required, to pay the Casualty Amount
pursuant to clause (a) above, Lessees shall continue to make all payments of
Rent due under this Lease until and including the Casualty Settlement Date. Upon
payment of the Casualty Amount in respect of any item of Equipment suffering a
Casualty on such Casualty Settlement Date, the remaining scheduled payments of
the principal portion of Rent shall be proportionately reduced by an amount
equal to the product of the scheduled amount of such the principal portion of
Rent payment (determined in each case prior to the receipt of such Casualty
Amount), multiplied by the Affected Equipment Value Fraction of such item of
Equipment suffering such Casualty, and the Lease Balance shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect such reduction in the remaining scheduled payments of the
principal portion of Rent.

        If Agent Lessee has given notice that it intends to replace the item of
Equipment suffering such Casualty and such replacement is permitted under this
Section 14.1, or if Lessees are required to replace the item of Equipment
suffering such Casualty pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then Lessees shall
make subject to this Lease, not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such
Casualty Notice, a replacement for such item of Equipment meeting the
suitability standards hereinafter set forth, provided, however, that such 60-day
period shall be extended for a period equivalent to any period of delay caused
by Force Majeure provided, further that such extension period shall not exceed
thirty (30) days. To be suitable as replacement Equipment, an item must be of
the same general type, year of construction (or a later year of construction),
function, utility, state of repair and operating

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

condition (immediately preceding the Casualty assuming that such Equipment had
been maintained in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1) as the Equipment
suffering the Casualty, must have a value of not less than the Appraised Value
(as set forth in the Appraisal of the Equipment suffering the Casualty for the
date (the "Casualty Determination Date") set forth in the Appraisal closest to
the date of such replacement) of the Equipment suffering the Casualty (except as
otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph) and, if the Casualty
pertained to a System, taken as a whole, then the value of such System, after
giving effect to such replacement, shall not be less than the Appraised Value of
such System (as set forth in the Appraisal of such System for the Casualty
Determination Date) and be free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted
Liens. Lessees shall cause a Bill of Sale and new Schedule I to the applicable
Lease Supplement to be executed and delivered to Trustee and Collateral Agent
(on behalf of the Participants) in order to subject such replacement item to
this Lease, and upon such execution and delivery and the receipt by Trustee and
Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Participants) of (i) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to them of Lessees' compliance with the insurance provisions of
Article XIII with respect to such replacement item, and (ii) an opinion of
counsel to Lessees in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Trustee,
Collateral Agent and the Participants opining, among other things, to the effect
that all appropriate filings, recordings and other acts have been taken to
protect the right, title and interest of Trustee, on behalf of the Participants,
in such replacement item and that no other filing, recording, deposit, or giving
of notice with or to any Governmental Agency is necessary to protect such right,
title and interest in such replacement item, such replacement item shall be
deemed "Equipment" for all purposes hereof.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements for replacement of Equipment,
if the replacement item has a Fair Market Value of less than the Appraised Value
of the Equipment suffering the Casualty or, in the case of a Casualty pertaining
to a System, of the System taken as a whole, but the conditions specified in the
preceding paragraph would otherwise be satisfied, then Lessees may replace the
Equipment or System, as applicable, suffering the Casualty with such item so
long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Trustee, Collateral Agent
and Lessees shall have received an appraisal of the replacement item (or System,
as the case may be) from an Appraiser, which appraisal shall determine the Fair
Market Value of the replacement item (or System, as applicable) as of the date
of replacement, the end of the Base Term and the Renewal Term (except for such
periods as have then already elapsed), (ii) Trustee shall have received, as
Supplemental Rent, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the greater of (x) the
Appraised Value of the replaced Equipment (or System, as applicable) as of the
Casualty Determination Date as determined in the Appraisal delivered in
connection with the Closing or (y) the Appraised Value of the replaced Equipment
(or System, as applicable) as of the Casualty Determination Date (as determined
by the appraisal delivered in connection with such replacement) over (B) the
Appraised Value of the replacement item (or System, as applicable) as of the
date of replacement (as determined by the appraisal delivered in connection with
such replacement), (iii) all conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph
shall have been satisfied (except for the requirement that the replacement item
have a value of not less than the Appraised Value of the Equipment suffering the
Casualty), and (iv) Lessees shall have delivered a new Schedule I to this Lease
and a new Schedule I to the Lease Supplement covering the replaced Equipment (or
System, as applicable) and such new Schedules shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Required Participants, such new Schedule I to the
Lease Supplement shall describe the replacement Equipment (or System, as
applicable) and the Fair Market Value thereof and such new Schedule I to this
Lease shall reflect such adjustments to the installments of the principal
portion of Rent and remaining Supplemental Rent as necessary so that (x) the
Equipment (or System, as applicable) suffering the Casualty shall be treated as
if the Casualty Amount with respect thereto had been paid pursuant to
Section 14.1, and all reductions of the principal portion of Rent and Supplement
Balance made pursuant to this Section 14.1, (y) the replacement item shall be
treated as if it was purchased on such replacement date for a purchase price
equal to the value set forth in the appraisal thereof with an amortization
schedule (to be attached to the Lease Supplement) that reflects the decay curve
as set

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

forth in such appraisal, and (z), if the Casualty pertained to a System, taken
as a whole, such System after replacement of the applicable items of Equipment,
shall have the same function and utility, taken as a whole. After giving effect
to any replacement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the "Purchase Price" of
the replacement Equipment shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value thereof,
as set forth for the date of such replacement in the appraisal delivered in
connection with such replacement, for all purposes of this Lease and the other
Operative Documents.

        If Trustee has received the amount payable with respect to the Casualty
and all other amounts due hereunder including amounts payable under
Section 14.1(a) and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Trustee the proceeds of any
recovery in respect of the Equipment from insurance or otherwise ("Casualty
Recoveries"), and Trustee, subject to the rights of any insurer insuring the
Equipment as provided herein, shall execute and deliver to Agent Lessee, or to
its assignee or nominee, a quitclaim bill of sale (without representations or
warranties except that the Equipment is free and clear of Lessor Liens) for the
Equipment, and such other documents as may be required to release the Equipment
from the terms of this Lease, in such form as may reasonably be requested by
Agent Lessee. All fees, costs and expenses relating to a substitution as
described herein shall be borne by Lessees. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 14.1, Lessees shall not be released from their obligations hereunder in
the event of, and shall bear the risk of, any Casualty to any item of Equipment
prior to or during the term of this Lease and thereafter until all of Lessees'
obligations hereunder are fully performed.

        Any payments (including insurance proceeds) in an amount less than
$500,000 received at any time by Trustee or any Lessee from any Governmental
Agency or other party with respect to any loss or damage to any item of
Equipment not constituting a Casualty will be paid to or retained by Lessees to
be applied directly in payment of repairs or for replacement of property in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 9.1, if not already paid by
Lessees, or if already paid by Lessees and no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, shall be applied to reimburse Lessees for such
payment, and any balance remaining after compliance with said Sections with
respect to such loss or damage shall be retained by Lessees; provided, that in
the event that any Default or Event of Default so exists, Trustee shall hold
such proceeds as collateral security for the obligations of Lessee under this
Lease during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default.

        EXCEPT FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE EXISTENCE
OR ENFORCEMENT OF A LESSORS LIEN, EACH LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK OF LOSS,
DAMAGE, THEFT, TAKING, DESTRUCTION, CONFISCATION, REQUISITION, COMMANDEERING,
TAKING BY EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION, PARTIAL OR COMPLETE, OF OR TO EACH
ITEM OF EQUIPMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED OR OCCASIONED, SUCH RISK TO BE BORNE BY
LESSEES WITH RESPECT TO EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT FROM THE DATE OF THIS LEASE, AND
CONTINUING UNTIL SUCH EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO TRUSTEE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE PROVISIONS HEREOF. EACH LESSEE AGREES THAT NO OCCURRENCE SPECIFIED IN THE
PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL IMPAIR, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ANY OBLIGATION OF SUCH
LESSEE UNDER THIS LEASE, INCLUDING THE OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT.

        SECTION 14.2    Environmental Matters.    At Lessees' sole cost and
expense, Lessees shall promptly and diligently commence or caused to be
commenced any response, clean up, remedial or other action necessary to remove,
clean up or remediate any Environmental Violation with respect to the Equipment
or any Facility.

        SECTION 14.3    Notice of Environmental Matters.    Agent Lessee shall
promptly provide to Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened claim,
action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation or any Release on,
at, under or from any Facility or the Equipment, which violation or Release
could require in excess of $500,000 in remediation costs, or which could result
in the

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

imposition of criminal penalties upon Lessor, Collateral Agent or any
Participant (any such violation, claim, action, proceeding or Release, a
"Material Environmental Violation"). All such notices shall describe in
reasonable detail the nature of the Material Environmental Violation, including
any claims, actions or proceedings in respect thereof, and Lessees' proposed
response thereto. In addition, Agent Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt by any Lessee, copies of all written
communications with any Governmental Agency relating to any such Material
Environmental Violation. Agent Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed
reports of any such Material Environmental Violations as may reasonably be
requested by Lessor or Collateral Agent. Upon completion of remedial action of
such Material Environmental Violation by any Lessee, Agent Lessee shall cause to
be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Required
Participants and Collateral Agent a report describing the Material Environmental
Violation and the actions taken by Lessees in response to such Material
Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that the Material
Environmental Violation has been remedied in compliance in all material respects
with applicable Environmental Law. Each such Material Environmental Violation
shall be remedied prior to the Expiration Date unless the Equipment has been
purchased by Lessees in accordance with Article XV or Article XVIII. Nothing in
this Article XIV shall reduce or limit Lessees' obligations elsewhere in this
Lease or under the Participation Agreement.

ARTICLE XV

Participants would exceed $5,000,000;

custom and without representation and warranty except as to the absence of any
Lessor Liens attributable to Lessor;

reasonable costs and expenses of claiming and collecting such amount, including
all reasonable costs and expenses for which Lessor or any Participant is
entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Operative Documents) with respect to
the Casualty or Condemnation giving rise to the termination of this Lease
theretofore received by Lessor or at the request of Lessees, to the extent
actually received, such amounts shall be applied against sums due hereunder.

        SECTION 16.2    Remedies.    Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Lessor may, so long as such Lease Event of
Default is continuing, do one or more of the following as Lessor in its sole
discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or remedy Lessor
may have on account of such Lease Event of Default, including the obligation of
Lessees to purchase the Equipment as set forth in Section 18.2 and any rights
and remedies set forth in any Lease Supplement:

        (a)  Lessor may, by notice to Agent Lessee, rescind or terminate this
Lease as to any or all of the Equipment as of the date specified in such notice;
provided, however, that no reletting or taking of possession of the Equipment
(or any portion thereof) by Lessor shall be construed as an election on Lessor's
part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given
to Agent Lessee, and notwithstanding any reletting or taking of possession,
Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a continuing
Lease Event of Default and no act or thing done by Lessor or any of its agents,
representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender or
repossession of the Equipment shall be valid unless the same be made in writing
and executed by Lessor;

        (b)  Lessor may demand that Lessees, and Lessees shall upon any such
demand of Lessor, return the Equipment promptly to Lessor in the manner and
condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions
of, Article IX and Section 8.2, Section 9.1 and Section 14.2 hereof, and Lessees
shall comply with the requirements of Section 21.1 hereof to the extent required
by Lessor, as if the Equipment were being returned at the end of the Lease Term,
and Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of Lessees for any costs
and expenses incurred by Lessees in connection therewith and without prejudice
to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession of the Equipment, and
to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Laws, Lessor may enter
upon any of the Facilities (or such other applicable casino or gaming
establishment) and take immediate possession (to the exclusion of Lessees, but
subject to Gaming Laws) of the Equipment or any part thereof, by summary
proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to Lessees for or by reason of
such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to Lessor's other
damages, Lessees shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor and the Participants in connection with any reletting,
including, without limitation, reasonable brokers' fees and all costs of any
necessary alterations or repairs made by Lessor;

        (c)  Lessor may (i) subject to Applicable Laws, sell all or any part of
the Equipment at public or private sale, as Lessor may determine, free and clear
of any rights of Lessees (except that any Excess Sales Proceeds shall be payable
to Lessees) with respect thereto, in which event Lessees' obligation to pay
Basic Rent hereunder for periods commencing after the date of such sale shall be
terminated; and (ii) if Lessor shall so elect, demand that Lessees pay to
Lessor, and Lessees shall pay to Lessor, on the date of such sale, as damages
for loss of bargain and not as a penalty (in

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing on or after the Payment Date
coinciding with such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a Payment Date,
the Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale)), an amount equal to
(A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Lease Balance calculated as of such Payment
Date (including all Rent due and unpaid to and including such Payment Date),
over (2) the net proceeds of such sale (that is, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or any Participant(s) incident to such
conveyance, including repossession costs, brokerage commissions, pro-rations,
transfer taxes, fees and expenses for counsel, recording fees, if any, and any
repair costs); plus (B) interest at the Applicable Default Rate on the foregoing
amount from such Payment Date until the date of payment;

        (d)  Lessor may, at its option, elect not to terminate this Lease with
respect to the Equipment and may continue to collect all Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due Lessor (together with all costs of
collection) and enforce Lessees' obligations under this Lease as and when the
same become due, or are to be performed, and at the option of Lessor, upon any
abandonment of the Equipment by Lessees or repossession of same by Lessor,
Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to terminate this
Lease and may make the necessary repairs (and Lessees shall pay the reasonable
costs of such repairs) in order to relet the Equipment, and relet the Equipment
or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending
beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
terms and conditions as Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable;
and upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by Lessor from such
reletting shall be applied to Lessees' obligations hereunder and the other
Operative Documents in such order, proportion and priority as Lessor may elect
in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. If such rentals received from such
reletting during any period are less than the Rent with respect to the Equipment
to be paid during that period by Lessees hereunder, Lessees shall pay any
deficiency, as calculated by Lessor, to Lessor on the next Payment Date;

        (e)  Unless the Equipment has been sold in its entirety, Lessor may,
whether or not Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at any time
(subject to Lessee's prior performance in full under this clause) exercise any
of its rights under clause (b), (c) or (d) with respect to the Equipment or any
portion thereof, demand, by written notice to Agent Lessee specifying a date (a
"Default Purchase Date") not earlier than ten (10) days after the date of such
notice, that Lessees purchase, on such Default Purchase Date, the Equipment (or
any remaining portions thereof) in the manner provided in Section 18.2 and in
accordance with the provisions of Article XXI;

        (f)    Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be
available to it under Applicable Laws, including all rights, options and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC or a
law similar thereto has been enacted in a jurisdiction wherein the rights or
remedies are asserted), or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or
equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach
hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any
period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor's right to
collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or Lessor may defer any
such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event such suit
shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term;

        (g)  Lessor may retain and apply against the Lease Balance all sums
which Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to pay to,
or turn over to, Lessees pursuant to the terms of this Lease; or

        (h)  If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor, as a matter of right and with notice to Agent Lessee, shall have the
right to apply to any court and any applicable Gaming Board, in either case,
having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Equipment, and
each Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to any such appointment. Any such

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

receiver(s) shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like
or similar cases and all of the powers and duties of Lessor in case of entry,
and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date of
confirmation of the sale of the Equipment unless such receivership is sooner
terminated.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Lessee hereby waives (x) the
benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the
event of any sale of the Equipment or any interest therein and (y) any rights
now or in the future conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the
Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Equipment in mitigation of the
Lessor's damages or which may otherwise limit or modify any remedy of damages.

Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and performance
of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under
this instrument or under any of the other Operative Documents or other agreement
or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the
obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by
security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the
acceptance of this Agreement nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any
manner affect Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now
or hereafter held by Lessor, it being agreed that Lessor shall be entitled to
enforce this Agreement and any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor in
such order and manner as Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive
of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy
given by any of the Operative Documents to Lessor or to which it may otherwise
be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lessor.

        SECTION 16.3    Waiver of Certain Rights.    If this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 16.2, each Lessee waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, (a) any notice of the institution of legal proceedings to
obtain possession; (b) any right of redemption or repossession; (c) the benefit
of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent
or for debt or limiting Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; and
(d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's
rights or remedies under this Article XVI.

        SECTION 16.4    Power of Attorney.    Each Lessee unconditionally and
irrevocably appoints Lessor as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in its name

sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and delivering to Lessor or
such purchaser, all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper
instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in
any such request.

        SECTION 16.5    Grant of Security Interest.    Each Lessee hereby grants
a security interest to Lessor in all of the Equipment and the other Lessee

        (a)  renew this Lease (the "Renewal Option") with respect to all, but
not less than all, of the Equipment for one additional one-year renewal term
(the "Renewal Term") on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
other Operative Documents; provided, however, that such Renewal Option shall be

all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Equipment pursuant to
Section 21.1; or

        (c)  sell the Equipment on behalf of Lessor for cash to a purchaser or
purchasers not in any way affiliated with any Lease Obligor or any Affiliate of
any Lease Obligor on the last day of the Lease Term (the "Sale Option").
Lessees' right to sell the Equipment pursuant to the Sale Option shall be
conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment by Lessees of each of the terms
and conditions set forth in Article XX. In addition, all Subleases with respect
to the Equipment shall have been terminated prior to Lessor's receipt of
Lessees' election of the Sale Option. No Lessee shall enter into any additional
Subleases or renew any Subleases with respect to the Equipment following
Lessees' election of the Sale Option. Following Lessees' election of the Sale

is not available for any reason, unless Lessees shall have (a) affirmatively
elected the Sale Option within the time period provided for in Section 19.1 and
(b) satisfied each of the requirements in Articles XX and XXI, Lessees shall be
deemed to have elected the Purchase Option. In addition, the Sale Option shall

and conditions set forth at Articles XX and XXI and Lessor shall be entitled to

Default or Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

        (b)  Lessees shall not have exercised the Sale Option or the Purchase
Option.

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lessees' exercise of the Renewal Option shall be deemed to be a representation
by Lessees that on both the Expiration Date then in effect and the date Lessees
give notice of their exercise of the Renewal Option, no Lease Event of Default
or Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE XX
SALE OPTION

        SECTION 20.1    Sale Option Procedures.    Lessees' effective exercise
and consummation of the Sale Option with respect to the Equipment shall be

to the Equipment as of the dates set forth below:

        (a)  Agent Lessee shall have given to Lessor and the Participants
written notice of Lessees' exercise of the Sale Option in accordance with
Section 19.1.

        (b)  No Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall be continuing on,
nor shall any Lease Event of Default or Lease Default occur at any time
following, the date of the exercise of the Sale Option (the period commencing on
the date of Lessees' written notice to Lessor of Lessees' exercise of the Sale
Option and ending on the last day of the Lease Term is referred to herein as the
"Sale Option Period").

        (c)  On the date of Lessees' election of the Sale Option and upon
surrender of the Equipment, (i) the Equipment shall be in the condition required
by Section 9.1, (ii) Lessees shall have completed or caused to be completed all
Modifications commenced prior to the Expiration Date, and Lessees shall have
caused to be completed prior to the Expiration Date the repair and rebuilding of
the affected portions of the Equipment suffering a Casualty or Condemnation, and
(iii) there shall be no deferred maintenance in respect of the Equipment.

        (d)  Lessees shall, as nonexclusive agent for Lessor, use their best
commercial efforts during the Sale Option Period to obtain the highest cash
purchase price for the Equipment. Lessees shall be responsible for hiring
brokers and making the Equipment available for inspection by prospective
purchasers, and all marketing of the Equipment shall be at Lessees' expense.
Lessees shall promptly upon request permit inspection of the Equipment and any
Equipment records by Lessor, any Participant and any potential purchasers, and
shall otherwise do all things necessary to sell and deliver possession of the
Equipment to any purchaser.

        (e)  Lessees shall use their best commercial efforts to procure bids
from one or more bona fide prospective purchasers to purchase the Equipment.

        (f)    Lessees shall submit all bids to Lessor and the Participants, and
Lessor shall have the right to review the same and to submit any one or more
bids. All bids shall be on an all-cash basis unless Lessor and the Required
Participants shall otherwise agree in their sole discretion. In the event
Lessees receive any bid, Lessees shall within five (5) Business Days after
receipt thereof, and at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Expiration
Date, certify to Lessor in writing the amount and terms of such bid, the name
and address of the party (who shall not be any Lease Obligor or any Person with
whom any Lease Obligor has an understanding or arrangement regarding the future
use, possession or ownership of the Equipment, including any repurchase,
sale/leaseback or similar arrangement), but who may be a Participant, any
Affiliate thereof, or any Person contacted by any Participant (other than any
Person referred to in the foregoing parenthetical clause) submitting such bid.
If the Gross Proceeds to be paid to Lessor pursuant to clause (i) below from a
proposed bid which Lessees desire to accept is less than the Lease Balance,
Lessees' rights hereunder shall be further conditioned upon Lessor's receipt of
an Appraisal described at Section 20.1(l) demonstrating that such proposed bid
is for an amount at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Equipment as
established by such Appraisal.

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (g)  In connection with any such sale of Equipment, Lessees shall
provide to the purchaser and assume all customary seller's indemnities,
representations and warranties regarding title or ownership interests, absence
of Liens (except Lessor Liens) and the condition of such Equipment. Lessees
shall have obtained, at their cost and expense, all required governmental and
regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by
Applicable Laws in order to carry out and complete the transfer of the
Equipment. As to Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an "as is, with all
faults" basis without representation or warranty by Lessor, other than the
absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale shall be made subject to
Lessor's rights hereunder and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to
Lessor.

        (h)  Lessees shall pay or cause to be paid directly, and not from the
sale proceeds, any prorations, credits, costs, impositions, taxes and expenses
of or arising from the sale of the Equipment, whether incurred by Lessor, the
Participants or Lessees, including the cost of all testing of the Equipment
requested by Lessor or any potential purchaser, all environmental reports,
appraisals, transfer taxes, Lessor's and the Participants' reasonable attorneys'
fees, Lessees' attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and
all applicable documentary and other transfer and document taxes and
impositions.

        (i)    Whether or not a sale of the Equipment is completed on the
Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 20.1, Lessees shall pay to Collateral
Agent, on behalf of Lessor, on the Expiration Date (or in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to the Person entitled thereto) an amount equal to (i) the
Sale Option Recourse Amount with respect to the Equipment plus (ii) all accrued
and unpaid Rent (including Supplemental Rent, if any) and all other amounts
hereunder which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration
Date for the Equipment, in the type of funds specified in Section 3.4 hereof.

        (j)    Lessees shall pay to Lessor on or prior to the Expiration Date
the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Article IX of the
Participation Agreement.

        (k)  If a sale of the Equipment is consummated on or prior to the
Expiration Date, Lessees shall pay directly to Lessor the gross proceeds (the
"Gross Proceeds") of such sale (i.e., without deduction for any marketing,
closing or other costs, prorations or commissions, whether incurred by Lessees,
Lessor or any of the Participants); provided, however, that if the sum of
(x) the Gross Proceeds from such sale plus (y) the Sale Option Recourse Amount
with respect to the Equipment received by Lessor pursuant to clause (i)(i) plus
(z) amounts received by Lessor pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Participation
Agreement exceeds the Lease Balance for the Equipment as of such date, then the
excess shall be paid to Agent Lessee on such Expiration Date.

        (l)    If the bid that Lessees propose to accept and which Lessees
submit pursuant to Section 20.1(f) is for an amount less than the Lease Balance,
then Lessor shall promptly following the receipt of such bid, engage the
Appraiser, at Lessees' expense, to determine (by appraisal methods reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Participants) the Fair Market Value of the
Equipment as of the Expiration Date. A copy of such appraisal shall be delivered
to each of the Participants not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the
Expiration Date. The Appraiser shall be instructed to assume that the Equipment
is in the condition required by and have been maintained in accordance with this
Lease. Any such appraisal shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessees.

        (m)  Lessees shall assign, and shall cooperate with reasonable requests
of the Lessor or the purchaser for obtaining, any and all licenses, permits,
approvals and consents of any Governmental Agencies or other Persons that are or
will be required to be obtained by the Lessor or such purchaser in connection
with its use, operation, control or maintenance of the Equipment in compliance
with Applicable Laws.

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (n)  Lessees shall deliver a report of an engineer selected by Lessor
certifying that the Equipment and any Modifications are in the condition and
state of repair and maintenance required by all Applicable Laws and the
provisions of this Lease, together with such inspection reports, tests, and
other data adequate to substantiate the conclusions reached in such report or,
if the Equipment or any Modifications are not in such state of condition and
repair, such engineer shall provide a list of any discrepancies in such state of
condition and repair, and Lessees, at their sole cost and expense, shall cause
any such discrepancies to be fully corrected prior to the Expiration Date.

        (o)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease or any other
Operative Document to the contrary, at all times during the Sales Option Period,
the Equipment shall be in continuous commercial use and service by Lessees
and/or one or more permitted sublessees unless any such Equipment shall have
suffered a Casualty and Lessees shall then be in compliance with the
requirements of Article XIV with respect to any such affected Equipment.

        If one or more of the foregoing provisions shall not be fulfilled as of
the date set forth above with respect to the Equipment, including Lessees'
obligation at Section 20.1(f) to accept a bid for not less than the Fair Market
Value of the Equipment, then Lessor shall declare by written notice to Agent
Lessee the Sale Option to be null and void (whether or not it has been
theretofore exercised by Lessees), in which event all of Lessees' rights under
this Section 20.1 shall immediately terminate and Lessees shall be obligated to
purchase the Equipment pursuant to Section 18.2 on the Expiration Date.

        Except as expressly set forth herein, Lessees shall have no right, power
or authority to bind Lessor in connection with any proposed sale of the
Equipment.

        SECTION 20.2    Certain Obligations Continue.    During the Sale Option
Period, the obligation of Lessees to pay Rent with respect to the Equipment
(including the installment of Rent due on the Expiration Date for the Equipment)
shall continue undiminished and in amounts not less than the installments of
Basic Rent payable prior to Lessees' exercise of the Sale Option. Lessor shall
have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the
efforts of Lessees to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with
any such sale, other than as expressly provided in this Article XX. If Lessees
elect the Sale Option, Lessees shall nevertheless continue to use and operate
the Equipment during the Sale Option Period in accordance with the requirements
of Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 9.1.

        SECTION 20.3    Failure to Sell Equipment.    If Lessees shall exercise
the Sale Option and shall fail to sell the Equipment and comply with its other
obligations under Section 20.1 on or prior to the Expiration Date in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of Section 20.1, then Lessees and Lessor
hereby agree as follows:

        (a)  Immediately following the Expiration Date, (i) Lessees, at their
sole cost and expense, shall return possession of the Equipment to Lessor at a
place designated by Lessor in the continental United States of America in the
condition required by this Lease (including each of the requirements and
conditions set forth at Section 20.1(c) and (n)) and (ii) Lessees shall pay to
Lessor all accrued and unpaid Rent due hereunder plus all other amounts then due
and payable by Lessees under the Operative Documents. Thereafter, Lessees shall
have no further obligation to pay Basic Rent or the remaining Lease Balance.
Nothing in this Section 20.3 shall adversely affect any other rights Lessor may
have to terminate this Lease pursuant to any other Section of this Lease or
Lessor's right to pursue any remedy hereunder as a result of an Event of Default
arising as a result of Lessees' failure to comply with the requirements set
forth herein, including, pursuant to Article XVI and Article XVIII or Lessees'
obligation to pay amounts arising under Article IX of the Participation
Agreement. If the Expiration Date occurs on the last day of the Renewal Term,
then following the Expiration Date or the effective date set forth in such
notice, Lessor shall be

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

free to sell or lease the Equipment to any party at such reasonable times and
for such amounts as Lessor deems commercially reasonable and appropriate.

        (b)  Lessor reserves all rights under this Lease and the other Operative
Documents arising out of Lessees' breach of any provisions of this Lease
(including this Article XX), whether occurring prior to, on or after the
Expiration Date, including Lessees' breach of any of their obligations under
this Article XX, including the right to sue Lessees for damages.

        (c)  To the greatest extent permitted by law, each Lessee hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives, and releases Lessor from, any right to
require Lessor to sell the Equipment in a timely manner or for any minimum
purchase price or on any particular terms and conditions, each Lessee hereby
agreeing that if Lessees shall elect the Sale Option, their ability to sell the
Equipment on or prior to the Expiration Date and to cause any Person to submit a
bid to Lessor pursuant to Section 20.1(f) shall constitute full and complete
protection of Lessees' interest hereunder.

Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby solely by reason of the fact
that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole

ARTICLE XXIV
INTENT OF THE PARTIES

        SECTION 24.1    Nature of Transaction.    It is the intention of the
parties that:

        (a)  the Overall Transaction constitute an operating lease from Lessor
to Lessees for purposes of Lessees' financial reporting, including under
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13;

        (b)  for purposes of federal and all state and local income, franchise,
transfer and other taxes and for purposes of bankruptcy, insolvency,
conservatorship and receivership law (including the substantive law upon which
bankruptcy, conservatorship and insolvency and receivership proceedings are
based):

(i)the Overall Transaction constitutes a financing by the Participants to
Lessees and preserves beneficial ownership in the Equipment in Lessees, Lessees
will be entitled to all tax benefits ordinarily available to owners of property
similar to the Equipment for tax purposes and the obligations of Lessees to pay
the Interest and Yield

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

components of Basic Rent shall be treated as payments of interest to the
Participants and the obligation of Lessees to pay the principal component of
Basic Rent shall be treated as payment of principal to the Participants, and the
payment by Lessees of any amounts in respect of the Lease Balance shall be
treated as payments of principal to the Participants;

(ii)in order to secure the obligations of Lessees now existing or hereafter
arising under any of the Operative Documents, this Lease creates, and each
Lessee hereby grants, conveys, assigns, mortgages and transfers a first priority
(subject to Permitted Liens) security interest or a lien, as the case may be, in
the Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral in favor of Lessor, and for the
benefit of the Participants, and each Lessee does hereby irrevocably GRANT,
BARGAIN, SELL, ALIEN, REMISE, RELEASE, CONFIRM AND CONVEY to Lessor, and for the
benefit of the Participants, a Lien on all right, title and interest of such
Lessee in and to the Equipment; and

(iii)the Security Documents create Liens and security interests in the
Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of all of the
Participants to secure Lessees' payment and performance of the Obligations.

Nevertheless, each Lessee acknowledges and agrees that none of Trustee,
Collateral Agent, Arranger or any Participant has made any representations or
warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the
Operative Documents or any aspect of the Overall Transaction and that such
Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice
concerning the Operative Documents and the Overall Transaction as it deems
appropriate.

        (c)  Specifically, but without limiting the generality of subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section 24.1, Lessor and Lessees further intend and agree
that, for the purpose of securing Lessees' obligations under the Operative
Documents, (i) this Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and
financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the
conveyance provided for hereby shall be deemed to be a grant by Lessees to
Lessor, for the benefit of the Participants, of a lien and security interest in
all of Lessees' present and future right, title and interest in and to the
Equipment, including but not limited to Lessees' leasehold estate therein and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash,
investments, securities or other property to secure such obligations under the
Operative Documents, effective on the date hereof, to have and to hold such
interests in the Equipment unto Lessor, for the benefit of the Participants;
(iii) the possession by Lessor of notes and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) notifications to Persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial
intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessees shall be deemed to
have been given for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
Applicable Laws. Lessor and Lessees shall, to the extent consistent with this
Lease, take such actions and execute, deliver, file and record such other
documents, financing statements and other security agreements as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Lease were deemed to create a security
interest in the Equipment in accordance with this Section, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest with priority over
all Liens other than Permitted Liens, under Applicable Laws and will be
maintained as such throughout the Lease Term.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITIES

        [Note: The following description is compiled from Mandalay's Public
Disclosures]

        MANDALAY BAY.    This property, which opened March 2, 1999, is the first
major resort on the Las Vegas Strip to greet visitors arriving in Las Vegas on
I-15, the primary thoroughfare between Las Vegas and southern California. The
43-story South Seas themed hotel-casino resort has approximately 3,700 guest
rooms (including the 424-room Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay) and a
135,000-square-foot casino which, as of October 31, 2001, featured 2,126 slot
machines and 128 table games. Mandalay Bay's attractions include an 11-acre
tropical lagoon featuring a sand-and-surf beach and a three-quarter-mile lazy
river ride. The property features 13 restaurants, such as Charlie Palmer's
Aureole, Wolfgang Puck's Trattoria Del Lupo, China Grill, rumjungle, Red Square
and Border Grill, as well as a House of Blues nightclub and restaurant,
including its signature Foundation Room (situated on Mandalay Bay's top floor).
Additional features include a 125,000-square-foot convention facility and a
30,000-square-foot spa. Mandalay Bay offers multiple entertainment venues that
include the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay featuring sharks and rare sea predators,
a 1,700-seat showroom, the rumjungle nightclub and a 12,000-seat special events
arena that features additional entertainment and sporting events. Mandalay Bay
was designed to attract a higher income customer than historically targeted. We
have commenced construction of a three-level convention and meeting complex. The
facility will be located on approximately 16.5 acres adjacent to the existing
Mandalay Bay Conference Center and will include more than one million square
feet of exhibit space. Upon completion of the project, Mandalay Bay will offer a
total of almost two million gross square feet of conference and exhibit space.
Following the events of September 11, construction on the facility was
temporarily suspended. Mandalay intends to resume construction in the first
quarter of its next fiscal year, with the facility currently expected to open in
January 2003. The cost of the convention center, excluding land, preopening
expenses and capitalized interest, is estimated to be $235 million. As of
October 31, 2001, Mandalay and/or its Subsidiaries had incurred costs of
$46.5 million related to this project.

        LUXOR.    This property is an Egyptian-themed hotel and casino complex
situated on 64 acres of our Mandalay mile, between Mandalay Bay and Excalibur.
The resort features a 30-story pyramid and two 22-story hotel towers. In total,
the property has 4,404 guest rooms. The resort has a 120,000-square-foot casino
which as of October 31, 2001, featured 2,019 slot machines and 103 table games.
Luxor offers 20,000 square feet of convention space, a 20,000-square-foot spa, a
1,200-seat showroom that features the off-Broadway show "Blue Man Group," a
nightclub, and food and entertainment venues on three different levels beneath a
soaring hotel atrium. The pyramid's 2,454 guest rooms can be reached from the
four corners of the building by state-of-the-art "inclinators" which travel at a
39-degree angle. Above the pyramid's casino, the property offers a special
format motion base ride and an IMAX 2D/3D theater. Luxor's other public areas
include a buffet with a seating capacity of approximately 800, seven restaurants
including three gourmet restaurants, as well as a snack bar, a food court
featuring national fast food franchises, several cocktail lounges and a variety
of specialty shops.

        EXCALIBUR.    This property is a castle-themed hotel and casino complex
situated on a 53-acre site immediately to the north of Luxor. Excalibur has
4,008 hotel rooms and a 110,000-square-foot casino which, as of October 31,
2001, featured 2,209 slot machines and 72 table games. Excalibur's other public
areas include a Renaissance fair, a medieval village, an amphitheater with a
seating capacity of nearly 1,000 where nightly mock jousting tournaments and
costume drama are presented, two dynamic motion theaters, various artisans'
booths and medieval games of skill. In addition, Excalibur has a

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

buffet restaurant with a seating capacity of approximately 1,300, seven themed
restaurants, as well as several snack bars, cocktail lounges and a variety of
specialty shops.

        CIRCUS CIRCUS-LAS VEGAS.    This property, which is our original resort,
is a circus-themed hotel and casino complex situated on approximately 69 acres
on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. The property features 3,744 guest rooms
and a 109,000-square-foot casino which, as of October 31, 2001, featured 2,229
slot machines and 78 table games. From a "Big Top" above the casino, Circus
Circus-Las Vegas offers its guests a variety of circus acts performed daily,
free of charge. A mezzanine area overlooking the casino has a circus midway with
carnival-style games and an arcade that offers a variety of amusements and
electronic games. Three specialty restaurants, a buffet with a seating capacity
of approximately 1,200, two coffee shops, three fast food snack bars, several
cocktail bars and a variety of gift shops and specialty shops are also available
to the guests at Circus Circus-Las Vegas. The Adventuredome, covering
approximately five acres, offers theme park entertainment that includes a
high-speed, double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster, a coursing river flume
ride on white-water rapids, an IMAX motion base ride, several rides and
attractions designed for preschool age children, themed carnival-style midway
games, a state-of-the-art arcade, a 65-foot waterfall, animated life-size
dinosaurs, food kiosks and souvenir shops, all in a climate-controlled setting
under a giant space-frame dome. Circus Circus-Las Vegas also offers
