     SECTION 2.7 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

          (a)  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrowers'

(i) of a Change of Control; or (ii) of the termination of the Hard Rock License

date. Within two Business Days of the occurrence of one of the events described
in clauses (i)-(ii) above, the Borrowers shall provide written notice to the
Holders setting forth such event, the date of such event and, if applicable, the
material terms or circumstances thereof. If a Holder elects to require the
Borrowers to prepay pursuant to this SECTION 2.7, such Holder shall exercise
this right by providing written notice to the Borrowers ("PREPAYMENT NOTICE").
All prepayments required under this SECTION 2.7(a) shall be made by Borrowers
within 5 Business Days of receipt of a Prepayment Notice. On the date of
prepayment, the Borrowers shall pay to any Holders of the Notes being prepaid
pursuant to this SECTION 2.7(a), the price specified above, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by such Holder in the
Prepayment Notice. Concurrently therewith, each Holder of Notes being prepaid
shall deliver to the Borrowers the original copy of its Notes or an affidavit of
loss thereof in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers.

          (b)  Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Borrowers shall have

Consolidated Net Income for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the
beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Initial Operating
Date to the end of Premier's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which

such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such
deficit); PLUS (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Premier
since the date of the Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital
or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of Premier (other than
Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable

                                       27
<Page>

Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Premier
that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than
Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary
of Premier), PLUS (iii) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was
made after the date of the Indenture is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or
repaid for cash, the lesser of (A) the cash return of capital with respect to
such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (B) the
initial amount of such Restricted Investment, PLUS (iv) to the extent that any
Unrestricted Subsidiary of Premier designated as such after the date of the
Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the
Indenture, the lesser of (A) the Fair Market Value of Premier's Investment in
such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (B) such Fair Market
Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, PLUS (v) 50% of any
cash dividends received by Premier or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after
the date of the Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Premier, to the
extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in Consolidated Net
Income of Premier for such period, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that at the time of
such payment (A) Premier's long-term Indebtedness after giving effect to such
payment does not then exceed $165 million; (B) the Consolidated Cash Flow for
the Borrowers for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters in which the
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi has been Operating shall be at least $33
million; (C) the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi shall have been Operating for
at least four fiscal quarters after the Initial Operating Date with Minimum

First Mortgage Notes were issued on the date of the Indenture and (F) there
shall be no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) under the Indenture.

interest or Repayment Charges on the Notes or other amounts) hereunder and under
any other Investment Document not later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on the
date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or
counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to each Holder pursuant to written
instructions from such Holder to the Borrowers at least one Business Day prior
to such payment, including pursuant to wire transfer instructions.

          (b)  Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest or
Repayment Charge on the Notes or other amounts) hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
interest.

     SECTION 2.9 TAXES.

          (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder
and under any Investment Document shall be made, in accordance with SECTION 2.8,
free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, EXCLUDING (i) income taxes imposed on

                                       28
<Page>

the net income of a Holder AND (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of
a Holder, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Holder
is organized or qualified to do business or a jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof in which the Holder engages in business activity other than
activity arising solely from the Holder having executed this Agreement and
having enjoyed its rights and performed its obligations under this Agreement or
any Investment Document or any political subdivision thereof (all such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively or individually, being called "TAXES"). If the
Borrowers must deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder
or under any other Investment Document to a Holder, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased by the amount (an "ADDITIONAL AMOUNT") necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this SECTION 2.9) such Holder shall receive an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers
shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount
deducted to the Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

          (b)  In addition, if applicable and if not paid in accordance with
Section 2.9(a) above, the Borrowers will pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any current or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Investment
Document, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any Investment Document ("OTHER TAXES").

          (c)  Subject to SECTION 2.9(f) below, the Borrowers agree to indemnify
each Holder for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Holder and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability prepared by such Holder absent manifest error, shall be
final conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be
made within 30 days after the date such Holder makes written demand therefor.
The Borrowers shall have the right to receive that portion of any refund of any
Taxes and Other Taxes received by a Holder for which the Borrowers have
previously paid any additional amount or indemnified such Holder and which
leaves the Holder, after the Borrower's receipt thereof, in no better or worse
financial position than if no such Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed or
additional amounts or indemnification paid to the Holder. The Holder shall have
sole discretion as to whether (and shall in no event be obligated) to make any
such claim for any refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes.

          (d)  As soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 days) after
the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to the relevant
Governmental Authority, the Borrowers will deliver to each Holder, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing payment thereof.

          (e)  Any transferee of a Holder, with respect to a Note, if organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia (a "NON-U.S. INVESTOR") shall deliver, to the extent
legally able to do so, to the Borrowers two copies of either United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or

                                       29
<Page>

other applicable form, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Investor claiming exemption
from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code
with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Investor delivers
a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Investor is not a bank
for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrowers and is not a
controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within
the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly
executed by such Non-U.S. Investor claiming exemption from U.S. Federal
withholding tax on payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the
Investment Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Investor on
or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the
date, if any, such Non-U.S. Investor changes its applicable lending office by
designating a different lending office (a "NEW LENDING OFFICE"). In addition,
each Non-U.S. Investor shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence
or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Investor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Non-U.S. Investor shall be required to deliver
any form pursuant to this paragraph (e) that such Non-U.S. Investor is not
legally able to deliver.

          (f)  The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S.
Investor or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Investor, in respect
of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above
to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Investor became
a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office,
the date such Non-U.S. Investor designated such New Lending Office with respect
to the Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this paragraph (f) shall not apply to (x)
any Non-U.S. Investor as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or
designation made at the request of the Borrowers and (y) to the extent the
indemnity payment or additional amounts any Holder would be entitled to receive
(without regard to this paragraph (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or
additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or
transfer to such Holder would have been entitled to receive in the absence of
such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation
to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such
Non-U.S. Investor to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above or (iii)
such Non-U.S. Investor is treated as a "conduit entity" within the meaning of
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision.

          (g)  Nothing contained in this SECTION 2.9 shall require a Holder to
make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it
reasonably deems to be confidential or proprietary), unless the amount required
to be paid by Borrowers exceeds $25,000 and Borrowers sign a reasonable
confidentiality agreement relating to such tax returns and other information.

     SECTION 2.10 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the
loan by the Investor for the design, development, construction, ownership and
operation of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi. The proceeds of the loan made
hereunder shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the
Disbursement Agreement.

                                       34
<Page>

     SECTION 4.3 ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when
executed and delivered by each Borrower will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect and to general
principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless or whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law and the availability of the remedy of
specific performance.

     SECTION 4.4 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. Except as specifically disclosed on
SCHEDULE 4.4, each Borrower has all material governmental authorizations,
approvals, consents, permits, licenses, certifications and qualifications, and
has complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the
United States, and other jurisdictions where such Person conducts business or
owns property, to conduct its business as is presently conducted and to own,
construct, erect, install, operate or maintain its facilities as they are
presently operated (including, without limitation, the Biloxi Gaming License).
No action, consent or approval or registration or filing with or any other
action by any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the
Transaction, except for such as have been made or obtained and are in full force
and effect or which are listed on SCHEDULE 4.4.

     SECTION 4.5 BORROWER'S BUSINESS; SUBSIDIARIES. The Borrowers are, as of
the Closing Date, exclusively engaged in the operation of the Borrowers'
Business which is described on SCHEDULE 4.5. Premier has only one Subsidiary,
Premier Finance. Premier Finance has no Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 4.6 FINANCIAL CONDITION.

          (a)  Each Borrower has previously provided to the Investor a true and
complete copy of the audited balance sheet of such Borrower as of June 30, 2003,
and the related statements of income and cash flow of such Borrower for the
fiscal year then ended (the "AUDITED FINANCIALS"). The Audited Financials were
prepared in accordance with GAAP, are true and correct in all material respects
and fairly present each Borrower's operations and their cash flows at such date
and for the period then ended. The auditors have issued a qualified statement to
the Borrowers concerning the Audited Financials, a copy of which is included
with the Audited Financials.

          (b)  Each Borrower has previously provided to the Investor a true and
complete copy of the preliminary unaudited balance sheet of such Borrower as of
September 30, 2003 and the related preliminary unaudited statements of income
and cash flow of such Borrower for the nine month period then ended (the
"INTERIM FINANCIALS"). The Interim Financials were prepared in accordance with
GAAP (except that footnotes are omitted), are true and correct in all material
respects and fairly present each Borrower's operations and their cash flows at
such date and for the period then ended, subject to normal and immaterial
year-end adjustments.

          (c)  Premier has previously provided the Investor with pro forma
consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrowers as of September
30, 2003, giving effect to the

                                       35
<Page>

incurrence of the full amount of Indebtedness contemplated under this Agreement
and the full amount of Senior Debt permitted to be incurred hereunder, and the
use of the proceeds thereof, and the related consolidated statements of
projected cash flow, projected retained earnings and projected income for such
fiscal year (the "PROJECTED STATEMENTS"). The Projected Statements are based on
estimates, information and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable
and the Borrowers have no reason to believe, in the light of conditions existing
at the time of delivery, that such projections are incorrect or misleading in
any material respect.

     SECTION 4.7 INDEBTEDNESS. SCHEDULE 4.7 contains a complete and accurate
list of all Indebtedness (whether liquidated or unliquidated, mature or not yet
mature, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured) of the Borrowers. Neither
of the Borrowers is in default or to its knowledge alleged to be in default in
any material respect with respect to any of its liabilities listed in the
Audited Financials or the Interim Financials.

     SECTION 4.8 OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 4.8 is an
accurate and complete list of the following information: (a) the authorized

or membership interests, as the case may be, of each class of the issued Capital
Stock of each Borrower and the number of outstanding shares thereof; (c) the
number of shares covered by all convertible securities and all options, warrants
and similar rights held with respect to the Capital Stock of each Borrower; (d)
the names of the record owners of all such shares of Capital Stock and all such
convertible securities, options, warrants and similar rights and the number of
shares held by each such record owner; and (e) the percentage of the outstanding
shares of Capital Stock held by each Borrower.

     SECTION 4.9 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since the ending date of the
Interim Financials, other than as disclosed in SCHEDULE 4.9 hereto, there has
occurred no Material Adverse Change.

     SECTION 4.10 TITLE TO PROPERTIES; POSSESSION UNDER LEASES.

          (a)  Each Borrower has good and marketable title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets free and clear of
Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

          (b)  Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 4.10 is an accurate and complete
list, as of the date hereof, of all leases of Real Property and other material
leases to which any Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower, or any of its
assets is bound, together with all amendments or supplements thereto
(collectively, the "LEASES"). True and complete copies of each of the Leases
have been made available to the Investors prior to the date hereof. Each of the
Leases is as of the date hereof valid, binding and enforceable upon the
Borrowers, and to the best of the Borrowers' knowledge, each of the other
parties thereto in accordance with its terms, and remains in full force and
effect. No Borrower is in default or, to Borrowers' knowledge, alleged to be in
default in any material respect with respect to any of its obligations under any
of the Leases (nor would be in default with the giving of notice, passage of
time, or both), and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no party other than any
Borrower is in material default with respect to such party's obligations under
any of the Leases (or would be in default with the giving of notice, passage of
time, or both). Each Borrower's possession of any property leased by it has not
been disturbed, nor, to Borrower's knowledge, has any claim been asserted
against such Borrower that is or

                                       36
<Page>

could reasonably be expected to be adverse to such Borrower's interests under
any of the Leases. None of the Leases is subject to any material rights of
set-off, recoupment or similar deduction or offset. No Borrower has assigned or
encumbered any of its rights, title or interest in or under any of the Leases
nor agreed to any oral modifications of any of the provisions of any of the
Leases.

     SECTION 4.11 LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

          (a)  Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.11 (the "LITIGATION SCHEDULE"),
there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before

threatened against or affecting any Borrower or any business, Property or rights
of any Borrower (i) that involve any Investment Document, the Hard Rock Hotel &
Casino Biloxi, the Indenture, the First Mortgage Notes or the Transaction or
(ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination.

          (b)  Except for matters set out in the Litigation Schedule, no
Borrower nor any of their respective material properties or assets is in breach

Applicable Law, decree, judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any Governmental
Authority; or (b) any deed, lease, loan agreement, commitment, bond, note, deed
of trust, restrictive covenant, license, indenture, contract, or other
agreement, instrument or obligation to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or to which its assets are subject.

     SECTION 4.12 CONTRACTS, ETC. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 4.12 is an
accurate and complete list of all material contracts to which any Borrower is a
party or by which any Borrower or any of its assets is bound (collectively, the
"CONTRACTS"). Each Borrower has entered into all Contracts necessary for the
conduct of its business as presently conducted. True and complete copies of each
of the Contracts has been made available to the Investor. Each of the Contracts
is valid, binding and enforceable upon the Borrowers and, to the Borrowers'
knowledge, each of the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms and
remains in full force and effect. No Borrower is in default or, to the knowledge
of the Borrowers, alleged to be in default in any material respect with respect
to any of its obligations under any of the Contracts (nor would be in default
with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both), and, to the knowledge of
the Borrowers, no party other than the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries is
in default with respect to such party's obligations under any of the Contracts
(or would be in default with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both). No
claim has been asserted against any Borrower that is or could be materially
adverse to its interests under any of the Contracts. None of the Contracts is
subject to any material rights of set-off, recoupment or similar deduction or
offset. Except as listed on Schedule 4.12 or in connection with the First
Mortgage Notes, no Borrower has assigned or encumbered any of its rights, title
or interest in or under any of the Contracts nor agreed to any oral
modifications of any of the material provisions of any of the Contracts.

     SECTION 4.13 NO SIDE AGREEMENTS; AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Except as set
forth in SCHEDULE 4.13, there exists no agreement or understanding calling for
any payment or consideration from a customer or supplier of any Borrower to an
officer, director, shareholder or manager of any Borrower with respect to any
transaction between any Borrower and a supplier or customer. Except as set forth
in SCHEDULE 4.13, no Borrower is a party to or bound by any

                                       37
<Page>

agreement and arrangement (whether oral or written) to which any Affiliate of
such Borrower is a party except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable
to such Borrower than it could obtain in a comparable arm's-length transaction
with an unaffiliated Person.

     SECTION 4.14 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT. No
Borrower is (a) an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (b) a "holding company"
as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended.

caused to be filed all Federal, state, and local tax returns which are required
to have been filed by it or has filed extensions therefor and has paid or caused

the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant

ERISA Affiliate (i) would incur any "withdrawal liability" (within the meaning

of Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA and both a "WITHDRAWAL") from each
Multiemployer Plan to which it has an obligation to contribute and (ii) has
incurred any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a past Withdrawal from a
Multiemployer Plan.

<Page>

tax, penalty or liability being imposed upon either Borrower, any of their
respective Subsidiaries, or any ERISA Affiliate.

          (e)  To the knowledge of the Borrowers, neither Borrower, or any ERISA
Affiliate, nor any predecessor-in-interest to any of them, has participated in,

operated in all material respects in accordance with Applicable Law and its
terms, and all obligations required to be performed under each such Plan have
been performed such that there is no material default or violation by any party
to any such Plan. Each such Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code
Section 401(a) and each trust established in connection with any such plan that
is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Code Section 501(a)
has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
that it is so qualified or exempt, as applicable, any no fact or event has
occurred since the date of such determination letter that could reasonably be
expected to adversely affect the qualified status of such Plan or the exempt
status of any such trust unless corrective actions were taken.

          (g)  Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.18(g), the execution and
performance of this Agreement will not (i) constitute a stated triggering event

becoming due to any employee, officer, director or independent contractor of the
Borrowers, or any ERISA Affiliate or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or
vesting for, or increase the amount of any compensation or benefits due to any
such individual.

          (h)  All rights that are necessary to amend or terminate each of the

been reserved, and such rights to amend or terminate are enforceable.

     SECTION 4.19 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

          (a)  To Borrowers' knowledge, the Real Property does not contain any
Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute, or
constituted a violation of, (ii) require Remedial Action under, or (iii) could

                                       39

Claim in connection with the Real Property or the operations of the Borrowers or
with regard to any Person whose liabilities for environmental matters the
Borrowers has retained or assumed, in whole or in part, contractually, by
operation of law or otherwise, nor do the Borrowers have reason to believe that
any such notice will be received or is being threatened; and

          (d) Hazardous Materials have not been transported from the Real
Property, nor have Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or
disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in a manner that could
reasonably be likely to give rise to liability under any Environmental Law, nor
have the Borrowers retained or assumed any liability, contractually, by
operation of law or otherwise, with respect to the generation, treatment,
storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials.

lockouts or slowdowns against any Borrower pending or, to the actual knowledge

Borrower or for which any claim may be made against any Borrower , on account of
wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been
paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Borrower. The consummation
of the Transaction, the development and operation of the Hard Rock Hotel &
Casino Biloxi and the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes pursuant to the
Indenture will not give rise to any right of termination or right of
renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement
to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.

     SECTION 4.21 EMPLOYEES. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 4.21 is an accurate and

Transaction to occur on the Closing Date and after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds of the investment: (a) the fair value of the assets
of the Borrowers, in each case on a consolidated basis, will exceed its debts
and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair

liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; and
(c) the Borrowers , in each case on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay
its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as and when

(unless a default or event of default thereunder has occurred and is then

          (a)  Premier shall not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "INCUR") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and neither Borrower shall issue any Disqualified Stock, nor permit any
of their Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred equity;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, the Borrowers may, subject in all cases to Section
7.1(c), (x) incur "Permitted Indebtedness" described in clause (b) below and (y)
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if:

               (i)   the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi is Operating; and

               (ii)  the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Premier's most recently
     ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are
     available immediately preceding the date on which such additional
     Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have
     been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
     forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
     Indebtedness had been incurred or the preferred equity or Disqualified
     Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such
     four-quarter period.

          (b)  For purposes of this Agreement, "PERMITTED INDEBTEDNESS" shall

     of (A) Indebtedness represented by the First Mortgage Notes to be issued on
     the date of the Indenture and the notes to be issued in exchange for the
     First Mortgage Notes and (B) their respective obligations arising under the
     collateral documents securing the First Mortgage Notes to the extent such
     obligations would represent Indebtedness;

               (iii) the incurrence by Premier or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the
     net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, replace, defease or

     permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above or pursuant to
     clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 7.1(b);

               (iv)  the incurrence by Premier of (A) FF&E Financing; PROVIDED,
     HOWEVER, that: (A) the principal amount of such Indebtedness does not
     exceed the cost (including sales and excise taxes, installation and
     delivery changes and other direct costs of, and other direct expenses paid
     or charged in connection with, such purchase) of the FF&E purchased or
     leased, or to be purchased or leased, with the proceeds thereof; and (B)
     Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance, replace,
     defease or discharge any FF&E Financing or Permitted Refinancing
     Indebtedness, in each case incurred pursuant to this clause (iv); PROVIDED,
     HOWEVER, that the aggregate principal

                                       48
<Page>

     amount of the FF&E Financing and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness

     one time outstanding;

               (v) the incurrence by Premier or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among a Premier and
     any of the Premier's Restricted Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (A)
     if Premier is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not
     Premier, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior
     payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the
     Notes; and (B) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that
     results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the
     Premier or a Restricted Subsidiary of Premier and any sale or other
     transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Premier or
     a Restricted Subsidiary of Premier will be deemed, in each case, to
     constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Premier or such Restricted
     Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (v);

               (vi) the incurrence by Premier or any of its Restricted

               (vii) the guarantee by Premier or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of Premier or a Restricted Subsidiary of
     Premier that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this
     Section 7.1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed
     is subordinated to or PARI PASSU with the Notes, then the guarantee shall
     be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

               (viii) the incurrence by Premier or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims,
     self-insurance obligations, bankers' acceptances, performance and surety

     business in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4.0 million at any
     one time outstanding under this clause (viii);

               (ix) the incurrence by Premier or any of its Restricted

     $5,000,000; and

               (x) the incurrence by Premier of Indebtedness in an aggregate
     principal amount not to exceed $60,000,000 under the Series 2004 Note;
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Premier may at any time only incur that amount of
     Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (x) equal to the dollar amount of
     Series 2004 Bonds that Premier Finance has purchased and holds at such
     time.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 7.1, any other provision in this Agreement, in any of the other
Investment Documents, in the Indenture, the First Mortgage Notes, the
Mississippi Bond Loan Agreement and the Series 2004 Note, the Borrowers hereby
agree that the maximum aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that they may
incur in addition to the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement and the
Notes

                                       49
<Page>

shall in no event exceed $185,000,000, plus up to $60,000,000 of additional
Indebtedness under the Series 2004 Note pursuant to clause (b)(x) above, as
reduced by payments or prepayments; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
may incur Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness issued to refinance Indebtedness
incurred in compliance with this Section 7.1(c).

          (d)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Premier shall not,
and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur any
Indebtedness (including Permitted Indebtedness) that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Premier or such
Restricted Subsidiary unless such Indebtedness is also contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes on substantially identical terms,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Premier or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries solely by virtue of being unsecured.

          (e)  For purposes of determining compliance with this SECTION 7.1, in
the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than
one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through
(viii) of SECTION 7.1(b) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
SECTION 7.1(a), Premier will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness
on the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this SECTION 7.1.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue
discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified
Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock
will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; PROVIDED, in each such case,
that the amount thereof is included in the Fixed Charges of Premier as accrued.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that Premier or any Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to
this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of
fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

     SECTION 7.2 LIENS. Premier shall not, nor will it permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on
any property or assets (including stock or other securities of any Person,
including any Restricted Subsidiary) now owned or hereafter acquired by it or on
any proceeds, income or revenues or rights in respect of any thereof, or assign
or convey any right to receive income therefrom except for Permitted Liens.

     SECTION 7.3 SALE AND LEASE-BACK TRANSACTIONS. Premier shall not, and shall
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement,
directly or indirectly, with any Person whereby it or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall sell or transfer any property, real or personal, used or
useful in its or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' business, whether now owned
or thereafter acquired, and thereafter rent or lease such property or other
property that it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries intends to use for
substantially the same purpose or purposes as the property being sold or
transferred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Premier or a Restricted Subsidiary of
Premier may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

          (a)  Premier or that Restricted Subsidiary, if applicable, could have
(i) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating
to such sale and leaseback

                                       50
<Page>

transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test contained in SECTION
7.1(a) and (ii) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section
7.2 hereof;

          (b)  the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction
are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors and set forth in an officers' certificate delivered to the
Holders, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback
transaction; and

          (c)  the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback transaction is
permitted by, and Premier or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary applies the
proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, the covenant contained in
SECTION 7.5.

     SECTION 7.4 INVESTMENTS. No Borrower shall, nor will it permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Investments except for Permitted
Investments.

     SECTION 7.5 MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, SALES OF ASSETS, ACT OF DISSOLUTION.

          (a)  Premier shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into
another Person or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of the properties or assets of its and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another
Person; unless:

               (i)   Premier is the surviving entity or the Person formed by or
     surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Premier) or to
     which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has
     been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United
     States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

               (ii)  the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
     merger (if other than Premier) or the Person to which such sale,
     assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes
     all the obligations of Premier under the Investment Documents pursuant to
     agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Holders;

               (iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of
     Default exists;

               (iv)  Premier or the Person formed by or surviving any such
     consolidation or merger (if other than Premier), or to which such sale,
     assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made on the
     date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any
     related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning
     of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00
     of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test
     set forth in SECTION 7.1(a) above;

               (v)   such transaction would not result in the loss or suspension
     or material impairment of any of Premier's or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries' Gaming

                                       51
<Page>

     Licenses, unless a comparable replacement Gaming License is effective prior
     to or simultaneously with such loss, suspension or material impairment; and

               (vi)  such transaction would not require any Holder to obtain a
     Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the law of any
     applicable gaming jurisdiction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Holder would
     not have been required to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found
     suitable under the laws of any applicable gaming jurisdiction in the
     absence of such transaction.

          (b)  Premier shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, suffer an Act of Dissolution.

          (c)  Premier shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, change its form of entity.

          (d)  Premier shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

               (i)   the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi is Operating;

               (ii)  Premier (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
     receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the
     Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
     otherwise disposed of;

               (iii) such Fair Market Value is determined by Premier's Board of
     Directors and evidenced by a resolution of that Board of Directors set
     forth in an officer's certificate delivered to the Holders; and

               (iv)  at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset
     Sale by Premier or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For
     purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be
     cash: (A) any liabilities, as shown on Premier's most recent consolidated
     balance sheet, of Premier or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
     contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated
     to the First Mortgage Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
     assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases Premier or
     such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; (B) any securities,
     notes or other obligations received by Premier or such Restricted
     Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to
     ordinary settlement periods, converted by Premier or such Restricted
     Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that
     conversion; and (C) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section
     7.5(f)(ii) below.

          (e)  In addition, Premier and its Restricted Subsidiaries may not
consummate a sale, lease, conveyance or other dispositions of any Key Project
Assets.

          (f)  Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, Premier (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be) may apply those Net Proceeds: (i) to make a capital expenditure with respect
to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi; or (ii) acquire assets that are not
classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in
connection with the operation of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi.

                                       52

          (g)  Premier Finance shall not assign, sell, convey or otherwise
transfer the Series 2004 Bonds, other than to the Trustee in connection with a
pledge of the Series 2004 Bonds to the Trustee for the benefit of the Senior
Lenders.

     SECTION 7.6 RESTRICTED PAYMENTS.

          (a)  Premier shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (i) declare or pay any dividend or make
any other payment or distribution on account of Premier's or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any
payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Premier or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of
Premier's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in any
capacity (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) of Premier or dividends or distributions payable
to Premier or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); (ii) purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in
connection with any merger or consolidation involving Premier) any Equity
Interests of Premier or any direct or indirect parent of Premier (including
without limitation, any Equity Interests of Premier held by AA Capital); (iii)
make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or
otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of Premier that is
contractually subordinated to the Notes, except a payment of interest or
principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or (iv) make any Restricted Investment
(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (i) through (iv)
above being collectively referred to as "RESTRICTED PAYMENTS").

          (b)  With respect to any payments made pursuant to (1) clause (i)
below, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused
thereby, and (2) clauses (ii) and (iii) below, no Default in the payment when
due of any principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Notes or any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, the
provisions contained in Section 7.6(a) above will not prohibit: (i) the
defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of Indebtedness of
Premier that is contractually subordinated to the Notes with the net cash
proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness; (ii) so long as Premier is a limited liability company,
distributions to members of Premier in an amount not to exceed the Tax Amount
for such period; and (iii) payments of amounts due to the Construction Manager
pursuant to the Owner Contractor Agreement.

          (c)  The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be
the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Premier or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair
Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors of Premier whose
resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the trustee. The Board of
Directors' determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million.

     SECTION 7.7 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Premier will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make

                                       53
<Page>

or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or
guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of a Premier (each, an
"AFFILIATE TRANSACTION"), unless.

          (a)  such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable
to Premier or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been
obtained in a comparable transaction by Premier or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

          (b)  Premier delivers to the Holders: (i) with respect to any
Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of
Directors set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with this SECTION 7.7 and that such Affiliate Transaction
has been approved unanimously by the Board of Directors; and (ii) with respect
to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to
the fairness to the Holders of the Notes of such Affiliate Transaction from a
financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking
firm of national standing.

          (c)  The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of this
SECTION 7.7:

               (i)   any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer
     and director indemnification or employment agreement or similar arrangement
     entered into by Premier or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
     ordinary course of business;

               (ii)  transactions between or among Premier and/or its Restricted
     Subsidiaries;

               (iii) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted
     Subsidiary of Premier) that is an Affiliate of Premier solely because
     Premier owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity
     Interest in, or controls, such Person;

               (iv)  payment of reasonable directors' fees to Persons who are
     not otherwise Affiliates of Premier;

               (v)   any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
     Stock) of Premier to Affiliates of Premier; and

               (vi)  Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 7.6 of this
     Agreement.

     SECTION 7.8 BUSINESS OF BORROWERS.

          (a)  No Borrower shall engage at any time in any business or business
activity other than the Borrowers' Business. No Borrower shall acquire or create
any new Subsidiary. No Borrower shall change the location of the operations of
such Borrower's Business from the location in which it is presently conducted
without the consent of the Holders. Each Borrower shall be a Single Purpose
Entity.

                                       54
<Page>

          (b)  No Borrower shall, nor permit any of its Affiliates to, directly

SUBSIDIARIES.

          (a)  Premier will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become

encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or

Person, so acquired; PROVIDED that, in the case of Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred; (v)

Indebtedness

                                       55
<Page>

are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in

any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, and will use their best efforts to resist any attempts
to claim or take the benefit of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
or the performance of their obligations under this Agreement or the Notes. To
the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each of the Borrowers hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Holders, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

     SECTION 7.16 RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIVITIES OF PREMIER FINANCE BILOXI CORP.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Premier
Finance will not hold any material assets, become liable for any material
obligations or engage in any significant business activities; PROVIDED that
Premier Finance may (i) be a co-obligor with respect to Indebtedness if Premier
is a primary obligor of such Indebtedness and the net proceeds of such
Indebtedness are received by Premier or one or more of Premier's Restricted
Subsidiaries other than Premier Finance Biloxi Corp, (ii) purchase and hold up
to $60,000,000 of Series 2004 Bonds from the Mississippi Business Finance
Corporation, and (iii) take any action in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Mississippi Bond Financing Documents.

     SECTION 7.17 INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS; CHARTER AMENDMENTS. No Borrower shall
(i) enter into any agreement or arrangement which would restrict in any material
respect the ability of such Borrower to fulfill its Obligations under the

their articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any of the
Investment Documents if the effect thereof would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Change.

     SECTION 7.18 DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. The
Board of Directors of Premier may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default; PROVIDED
that in no event will a Key Project Asset be transferred to an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned
by Premier and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Restricted Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the
designation and will reduce the amount

                                       56
<Page>

available for Restricted Payments under Section 7.6 or under one or more clauses
of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by Premier. That
designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that
time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Premier may redesignate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation
would not cause a Default.

     SECTION 7.19 AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN AGREEMENTS. Neither Premier nor any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries will amend, waive or modify, or take or refrain from
taking any action that has the effect of amending, waiving or modifying any
provision of the Mississippi Bond Indenture, the Mississippi Bond Financing
Documents, or waive any payments under the Series 2004 Bonds; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any such agreement may be amended or modified so long as the terms of such
agreement as so amended or modified are, on the whole, no less favorable to
Premier and Premier Finance that the terms of such agreement as of the Funding
Date.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of
such default (a "PAYMENT DEFAULT"); or (ii) results in the acceleration of such

then: (1) in every such event other than an Event of Default described in
paragraph (i) above, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such
event, the Holders of at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Notes may by notice to the Borrower declare the principal amount then
outstanding under the Notes held by such Holder to be forthwith due and payable
in whole or in part, whereupon the principal amount so declared to be due and
payable, together with the Repayment Charge, all PIK Amounts and accrued
interest thereon and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and
under any other Investment Document in respect of such Notes, shall become
forthwith due and payable, without presentment demand, protest or any other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower,
anything contained herein or in any other Investment Document to the contrary
notwithstanding; and (2) in any event with respect to an Event of Default
described in paragraph (i) above, the principal of the Notes then outstanding,
together with the Repayment Charge, all PIK Amounts and accrued interest thereon
and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other
Investment Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without
presentment demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any
other Investment Document to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that the
Holders of at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Notes have declared the principal amount then outstanding under the Notes held
by such Holders to be forthwith due and payable as set forth in clause (1)
above, then any other Holder may also declare the principal amount then
outstanding under the Notes held by such Holder to be forthwith due and payable
in whole or in part as provided in clause (1) above.

respect to the Obligations including, but not limited to: (a) commencing or
pursuing legal proceedings to collect any amounts owed with respect to or to
otherwise enforce the Obligations; or (b) executing upon, or otherwise
enforcing, any judgment obtained with respect to the payment or performance of
the Obligations.

     SECTION 8.4 COSTS. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable expenses of any
nature, whether incurred in or out of court, and whether incurred before or
after the Notes shall become due at their maturity date or otherwise (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) which the Holders may
reasonably incur in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the
Obligations.

     SECTION 8.5 SET-OFF. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Holder is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to any
Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by such Borrower) and, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and to apply any and all balances,
credits, deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final),
accounts or moneys at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
such Holder to or for the account of such Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrowers now or

                                       59
<Page>

hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
delivered by such Borrower to such Holder in connection therewith, whether or
not such Holder shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although
such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the Holders under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which they may have. A Holder shall give
the Borrower notice of any set-off hereunder after such set-off has occurred.

     SECTION 8.6 REMEDIES NON-EXCLUSIVE. None of the rights, remedies,
privileges or powers of the Holders expressly provided for herein are exclusive,
but each of them is cumulative with, and in addition to, every other right,
remedy, privilege and power now or hereafter existing in favor of each of the
Holders, whether pursuant to the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, by
statute or otherwise.

agree that it is the intent of the parties that certain provisions of this
Agreement (including without limitation, certain definitions contained in
Article I, certain covenants contained in Articles VI and VII, and certain
Events of Default contained in Article VIII) (the "SIMILAR PROVISIONS") are
intended to be substantially similar to like provisions contained in the
Indenture modified as appropriate to reflect the relationship of the Notes and
the First Mortgage Notes and the other provisions hereof. The parties further
agree that should the Similar Provisions contained in the Indenture be
substantially different from those contained in this Agreement that prior to,
and as a condition precedent to, the Funding, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith to amend the Similar Provisions contained in this Agreement in order
to make them substantially similar to those contained in the Indenture, subject
to appropriate modifications to retain the spirit of the provisions hereof.

     SECTION 9.4 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Investor, and when the

bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns.

     SECTION 9.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

          (a)  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred

duties hereunder or under the Notes to any of its Affiliates in accordance with
SECTION 9.21, and subject to SECTION 9.11 and SECTION 9.20. At any time after

occurred and is continuing), assign its Notes, or assign or delegate any of its
rights or duties hereunder or under the Notes in accordance with SECTION 9.21
and subject to SECTION 9.11 and SECTION 9.20; PROVIDED, that such Holder shall
bear its own expenses in connection with such assignment, and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that the Holder may not effect such an assignment to any Person that will be
required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming
Laws unless the Borrowers consent in advance in writing to such an assignment.

     SECTION 9.6 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.

          (a)  The Borrowers will pay to the Investor all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders in connection with the

provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

                                       61
<Page>

hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in relation to this Agreement and the
other Investment Documents, including any suit, action, claim or other activity
of the Holders to collect or otherwise enforce the Obligations or any portion
thereof, or in connection with the Transaction, including, without limitation,

PROVIDED, that it is agreed that the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse
the Investor with respect to the fees of Piper Rudnick LLP incurred for services
rendered through the date of the Closing shall not exceed $125,000, except as
otherwise agreed by the parties.

          (b)  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify each
Holder, and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such
Person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and to hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of in any way connected with,
or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other
Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) the use of the loan proceeds provided hereby, (iii) any claim,
litigation investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence
or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by the
Borrowers, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower;
provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee be available to the
extent it resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

          (c)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the provisions of
this SECTION 9.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Notes, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other
Investment Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders.
All amounts due under this SECTION 9.6 shall be payable on written demand
therefor.

     SECTION 9.7 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Each of the
Borrowers and the Holders hereby waive to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law all claims to consequential and punitive damages in any lawsuit
or other legal action brought by any of them against any other of them in
respect of any claim among or between any of them arising under this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, or any other agreement or agreements between or among
any of them at any time, including any such agreements, whether written or oral,
made or alleged to have been made at any time prior to the Closing Date, and all
agreements made hereafter or otherwise, and any and all claims arising under
common law or under any statute of any state or the United States of America,
including any thereof in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, whether

     SECTION 9.8 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INVESTMENT
DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS)
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (EXCLUDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS).

     SECTION 9.9 WAIVERS; AMENDMENT.

          (a)  No failure or delay of a Holder in exercising any power or right
hereunder or under any other Investment Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Holders hereunder and under the
other Investment Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Investment Document or consent to any departure by the
Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (b)  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrowers and the Holders in accordance with SECTION 9.18

     SECTION 9.10 INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. If at any time the interest rate
applicable to the Notes, together with all fees, charges, and other amounts
which are treated under Applicable Law as interest thereunder (collectively the
"CHARGES"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may
be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Holders holding
the Notes in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in
respect of the Notes, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof shall
be limited to the Maximum Rate. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, the Holder
shall ever receive anything of value deemed Charges by Applicable Law in excess
of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Charges shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Notes in the
inverse order of maturity (whether or not then due) or at the option of the
Holder be paid over to the Borrowers, and not to the payment of Charges. All
Charges (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Charges) paid or agreed
to be paid to the Holder shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal balance of the Notes so that the Charges
thereof for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
Applicable Law.

     SECTION 9.11 MANDATORY DISPOSITION OF NOTES.

          (a)  If any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder be licensed,
qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law and such Holder: (i)
fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30
days (or such other period as may be required by the Gaming Authority) after
being requested to do so by the Gaming Authority; or (ii) is denied

                                       63
<Page>

such license or qualification or not found suitable; the Borrowers will have the
right, at their option, to (A) require the Holder to dispose of its Notes within
30 days (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming
Authority) following the earlier of: (x) the termination of the period described
above for the Holder to apply for a license, qualification or finding of
suitability; or (y) the date of denial of such license, qualification or finding
of suitability; or (B) redeem the Notes of the Holder at a redemption price
equal to the price determined by the Gaming Authority or if the Gaming Authority
does not determine a price, the least of: (1) the principal amount of the Notes,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, to the earlier of the date of
redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority; (2) the
price at which such Holder acquired or paid for the Notes, to the earlier of the
date of redemption or as is required by the Gaming Authority; and (3) the Fair
Market Value of the Notes on the date of redemption.

          (b)  Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a
Holder of the Notes will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the
Holder will, to the extent required by applicable law, have no further right,
to: (i) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee or nominee or any
other person or entity, any right conferred by the Notes; or (ii) receive any
interest or any other distributions or payments with respect to the Notes or any
remuneration in any form with respect to the Notes, except the redemption price
of the Notes.

          (c)  The Borrowers shall notify the Holders in writing of any such
redemption as soon as practicable. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable fees
and costs incurred in connection with applying for and obtaining the license,
qualification or finding of suitability and of any investigation by the
applicable Gaming Authorities on behalf of any Holder that is required to apply
for such license, qualification or finding of suitability.

     SECTION 9.12 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Investment
Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the
subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the
other Investment Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Investment
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Investment Documents.

     SECTION 9.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS, AS
APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN
THIS SECTION 9.13.

     SECTION 9.14 SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Investment Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any way, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).
The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 9.15 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract and shall become effective as provided in SECTION 9.4. Delivery
of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall
be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.16 HEADING. Article and Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.17 JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

          (a)  Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in
the State of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Investment Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in the State of New York or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Holders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the other Investment Documents against such Borrower or their
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (b)  Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Investment Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

          (c)  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in SECTION 9.1. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 9.18 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS; DEFAULTS.

          (a)  Subject to the terms of SECTION 9.18(c), to the extent that (i)
the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Investment Documents require the
Borrowers to obtain the consent or approval of the Holders, (ii) the Borrowers
seek an amendment to or termination of any of the terms of this Agreement or any
of the Investment Documents, or (iii) the Borrowers seek a waiver of any right

the aggregate principal amount outstanding under all of the Notes.

          (b)  Subject to the terms of SECTION 9.18(c), to the extent that the
terms of this Agreement or any of the other Investment Documents require or
permit the Holders to take any enforcement action, including but not limited to
declaring a payment default or other Event of Default or accelerating amounts
due under any of the Investment Documents, subject to SECTION 8.1, each Holder

of its rights and remedies under the Investment Documents individually as to the
obligations of the Borrowers to such Holder.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in SECTION
9.18(a) OR 9.18(b), the Holders shall not, without the prior written consent and
approval of all of the affected Holders, amend, modify, terminate or obtain a

which will have the effect of (i) reducing the principal amount of any Notes or
of any payment required to be made to the Holders hereunder, or modifying the
terms of a payment or prepayment thereof; (ii) reducing the Interest Rate, or
extend the time for payment of interest under any Notes; or (iii) releasing the

under this Agreement, will be divided, PRO RATA, among all Holders.

     SECTION 9.19 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; ADVICE OF COUNSEL. This Agreement
provides for the making of a loan by the Holders, in its capacity as a lender,
in the Borrowers, in its capacity as borrower, and for the payment of interest
and repayment of principal by the Borrowers to the Holders. The provisions
herein for compliance with financial covenants, if any, and delivery of
financial statements are intended solely for the benefit of the Holders to
protect their interests as investors in assuring payments of interest and
repayment of principal, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as permitting or obligating the Holders to act as a financial or
business advisor or consultant to the Borrowers, as permitting or obligating the
Holders to control the Borrowers or to conduct the Borrowers' operations, as
creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of the Holders to the Borrowers,
or as creating any joint venture, agency or other relationship between the
parties other than as explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement. The
Holders are not (and shall not be construed as) a partner, joint venturer,
alter-ego, manager, controlling person, operator or other business participant
of any kind of the Borrowers; the Holders nor the Borrowers intend that the
Holders assume such status, and, accordingly, the Holders shall not be deemed
responsible for (or a participant in) any acts or

                                       66
<Page>

omissions of the Borrowers or any of its partners. Each of the Holders, and the
Borrowers represent and warrant to the other that it has had the advice of
experienced counsel of its own choosing in connection with the negotiation and
execution of this Agreement and with respect to all matters contained herein.

     SECTION 9.20 CONFIDENTIALITY Each of the Holders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement;
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any permitted transferee of any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect
contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual
counterparty's or prospective counterparty's professional advisor) to any credit
derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrowers; (g) with the
consent of the Borrowers; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii)
becomes available to any Holder on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Borrowers PROVIDED that such source is not bound by a confidentiality
agreement. For the purposes of this Section, "INFORMATION" means all information
received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other
than any such information that is available to any Holder on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; PROVIDED that, in the case of
information received from the Borrowers after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified (in a reasonable manner) at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

     SECTION 9.21 REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF NOTES.

          (a)  The Borrowers will keep at Premier's principal office a register
in which the Borrowers will provide for the registration of the Notes and their
transfer. The Borrowers may treat any Person in whose name any Note is
registered on such register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving
payment of the principal of and interest on such Note and for all other
purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Borrowers shall not
be affected by any notice to the contrary from any Person other than the
applicable Holder. All references in this Agreement to a "Holder" of any Note
shall mean the Person in whose name such Note is at the time registered on such
register.

          (b)  Upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or for
exchange to the Borrowers at Premier's principal office, the Borrowers at their
expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of the same
type in denominations of at least $500,000 (except a Note may be issued in a
lesser principal amount if the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note
is not evenly divisible by, or is less than, $500,000), as requested by the
holder

or transferee, which aggregate the unpaid principal amount of such Note,
registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be
no loss of interest on such surrendered Note and otherwise of like tenor.

          (c)  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon delivery of an indemnity
bond in such reasonable amount as the Borrowers may determine (or an unsecured
indemnity agreement from the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers),
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Note for
cancellation to the Borrowers at Premier's principal office, the Borrowers at
their expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same
class and of like tenor, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on (and
registered in the name of the holder of) such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note. Any Note in lieu of which any such new Note has been so executed
and delivered by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be not outstanding for any
purpose of this Agreement.

          (d)  All Holders are aware and will advise their respective officers,
agents and representatives who are informed of the matters that are the subject
of this Agreement, of the restrictions imposed by the United States securities
laws on the purchase and/or sale by any person or entity who has received
material non-public information from the issuer of such securities and on the
communication of such information to any other person or entity when it is
reasonably foreseeable that such other person or entity is likely to purchase or
sell such securities in reliance upon such information.

          (e)  The Notes that are the subject of this Agreement are subject to
restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold
except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, pursuant to an effective registration statement related thereto or
pursuant to exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

     SECTION 9.22 NON-SOLICITATION. Investor and Borrowers each agree not to,
directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of any individual who has an
active management position with the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates,
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent may
be granted or withheld in the other party's sole discretion.
