 9.2.3 Operating Expense Reserve Account. (a) On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date occurring in October, 2009, provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, Lender shall cause amounts on deposit in the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be transferred to an account with the Hotel Bank maintained by
Borrower (the “Borrower Hotel Account”) to pay for (i) operating expenses for the Property actually paid or accrued in such calendar month pursuant to the approved Annual Budget, or as otherwise approved by Lender in its
reasonable discretion and (ii) taxes or fees imposed by the Gaming Authorities to the extent amounts on deposit in the Gaming Reserve Account are insufficient to pay such taxes or fees (collectively, the “Monthly Expenses”).
Monthly Expenses may include Corporate Expenses payable by Borrower during the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs which are set forth in the approved Annual Budget (collectively, the “Monthly Corporate Expenses”). The
fees and expenses of the Hotel Bank shall be paid by Borrower. In the event the Hotel Bank can no longer maintain the Borrower Hotel Account as an Eligible Account, Lender shall have the right to cause the Borrower Hotel Account to be moved to a
depositary institution, reasonably acceptable to Lender, that can maintain same as an Eligible Account. 
 (b) If the actual Monthly Expenses paid by
Borrower in any month are less than the amount transferred to Borrower for the payment of such items for such month pursuant to Section 9.2.3(a) above, the amount of such excess shall be deducted from future deposits into the Operating
Expense Reserve Account in accordance with Section 9.4.1 hereof or upon request of Lender shall be deposited by Borrower back into the Deposit Account and applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.4.1. If the
actual Monthly Expenses to be paid by Borrower in any month are more than the amount set forth in the approved Annual Budget, provided, no event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may request that Lender approve a
disbursement for such additional amounts from the Operating Expense Reserve Account, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Within twenty (20) days after the end of each month, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to Lender
a financial statement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in all material respects setting forth all amounts expended for Monthly Expenses during such month, including showing variances from the Approved Budget and setting forth a short
explanation of any variance in excess of five percent (5%) of the budget line item in question and identifying any payments made to an Affiliate of Borrower and the reasons therefor. Each such financial statement shall be certified by an
officer of Borrower as being true, correct and complete in all material respects and include a certification that all amounts transferred to Borrower pursuant to Section 9.2.3(a) above were expended for Monthly Expenses in accordance
with said Section 9.2.3(a). Borrower shall promptly, but not later than five (5) Business Days after Lender’s request therefor, deliver to Lender such further documentation (including, without limitation, invoices, checks or
copies of contracts, if any) and information as Lender may reasonably request regarding any payments described in Borrower’s financial statements. If Borrower shall fail to deposit any excess funds into the Deposit Account as provided in this
subsection or provide its required financial statements or, after written request of Lender, reasonable evidence of expenditures, in each case, within the time periods provided in the preceding sentences of this subsection and such failure continues
for ten (10) or more days after notice of such failure, then, in addition to any other remedies which Lender may have with respect thereto, Lender may elect not to fund any additional amounts into the Operating Expenses Reserve Account and/or
Lender may continue to hold the funds in the Operating Expenses Reserve Account until such failure is cured.

the Seasonality Reserve Account in an amount necessary to cause the Seasonality Reserve Account to contain Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). If Borrower reasonably anticipates that, on any Payment Date, funds in the Deposit Account shall be
insufficient to make the deposits required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9.4.1, then, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written request of Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, an amount equal to the shortfall shall be transferred from the Seasonality Reserve Account, to the extent sufficient funds are available therein, to the Deposit Account and applied in the manner and order set forth in
Section 9.4.1. Any amounts that are transferred into the Operating Expense Reserve Account from the Seasonality Reserve Account in accordance with this Section 9.2.9 and disbursed to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.2.3 hereof shall
be used to pay Monthly Expenses, including, without limitation, Monthly Corporate Expenses. Borrower shall not be permitted to make requests for disbursements from the Seasonality Reserve Account in accordance with this Section 9.2.9 or the
Operating Expense Reserve Account more than two (2) times in any calendar month. Borrower shall be required to pay a disbursement request fee in an amount equal to $5,000 per request for each disbursement request in a calendar month following
