On December 21, 2011 (the “Option Effective Date”), MRMI entered into an option agreement with EPT, which was last amended by a letter agreement dated November 22, 2013, between EPT and MRMI (as amended, the “Option Agreement”) . Pursuant to the Option Agreement, EPT granted us a sole and exclusive option (the “Option”) to lease certain portions of the EPT Property pursuant to the terms of a lease negotiated between the parties our rights and obligations pursuant to the Option Agreement are subject to certain existing EPT agreements.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, (i) MRMI may extend the Option Exercise Period End Date (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement) for up to twelve months (the “First Extended Option Exercise Period”) from November 30, 2013 to November 30, 2014 by making monthly option payments (each an “Option Payment”) and (ii) the Final Option Exercise Outside Date (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement) will be extended to a date that is 120 days from the earliest to occur of specified triggers relating to whether MRMI is chosen to receive a Gaming Facility License or 60 days from when affiliates of MRMI enter into an agreement to develop a Gaming Facility with someone other than MRMI (each a “Trigger Event”). If a Trigger Event occurs, EPT may, in its sole discretion, extend the Final Option Exercise Outside Date by a maximum of 90 days and, before the Final Option Exercise Outside Date, waive such Trigger Event in writing (in which case the Option Agreement would continue as if such Trigger Event had not occurred). If a Trigger Event has not occurred as of the end of the First Extended Option Exercise Period, (i) MRMI may extend the Option Exercise Period End Date by up to an additional twelve months (the “Second Extended Option Exercise Period”) from November 30, 2014 to November 30, 2015 by making monthly Option Payments at a higher amount. If a Trigger Event has not occurred as of the end of the Second Extended Option Exercise Period, MRMI may extend the Option Exercise Period End Date on a monthly basis until the occurrence of a Trigger Event by making monthly Option Payments at an even higher amount. If MRMI exercises the Option and the Casino Lease for the EPT Property is executed between the Parties, any additional amounts paid by MRMI as Option Payments shall constitute prepaid rent and shall be applied against amounts due to EPT as rent under the Casino Lease.

If a Trigger Event occurs, EPT shall have the immediate right to discuss or negotiate with any other entity with respect to developing a casino or seeking a Gaming Facility License regarding the EPT Property and, if MRMI has not exercised the Option by the applicable Final Option Exercise Outside Date, EPT shall have the immediate right to enter into an agreement with another entity to develop a casino or seek a Gaming Facility License with respect to the EPT Property. Pursuant to the letter agreement that amended the Option Agreement dated August 30, 2013, between EPT and MRMI (the "Letter Agreement"), EPT granted to MRMI the option to purchase the EPT Property together with the other property owned by EPT at the site of the former Concord Resort, which option is exercisable upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event or any time between May 1, 2015 and June 30, 2015, at book value as of the date of the Letter Agreement plus capitalized expenses incurred by EPT after the date of the Letter Agreement through the purchase date and related to the development of the property.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement:

1.
On the date EPT’s Board of Directors provided an irrevocable notice to proceed with the development of the EPT Property in accordance with the terms of the Master Development Agreement, executed by the parties on December 14, 2012, all payments made by MRMI to EPT pursuant to the Option Agreement to date, which total $1,222,603, became non-refundable.

2.
EPT entered into an agreement with Aquatic Development Group to be the water park developer and operator for the project at the EPT property (a “Second Tenant Commitment”). In connection with the receipt of a Second Tenant Commitment, MRMI agreed to reimburse certain out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such tenant, subject to a cap.

3.
The Parties executed the Master Declaration.

4.
During the term of the Letter Agreement and other agreements of the Parties, MRMI will make good faith efforts to pursue a casino license. If MRMI fails to diligently pursue a casino license, MRMI shall notify EPT and the Final Option Exercise Outside Date shall be 60 days following the receipt of such notice by EPT.

5.
MRMI provided EPT a certificate of the MRMI Board of Directors which, in substance, waived MRMI’s right to terminate the MDA pursuant to Section 14.21 thereof and prohibits MRMI, unless the Option terminates due to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, so long as EPT has provided its notice to proceed, the Master Declaration has been executed and EPT is not in breach of the Option Agreement or any other agreements between the parties, from building or operating a Gaming Facility in its defined region under the Gaming Act anywhere other than at the EPT Property or building or operating a VGM facility anywhere other than at MRMI’s existing site or at the EPT Property for a period of five years following the termination of the Option Agreement.In connection with the Option Agreement, we paid EPT option payments in the amount of $750,000 on December 21, 2011 and on March 8, 2013, MRMI paid EPT a pro-rated option payment in the amount of $472,603. On September 18, 2013, EPT’s Board of Directors provided an irrevocable notice to proceed with the development of the EPT Property in accordance with the terms of the MDA. MRMI provided EPT with a certificate of the MRMI Board of Directors which waives MRMI's right to terminate the MDA (as set forth above). Therefore, all payments made by MRMI to EPT pursuant to the Option Agreement as of that date, which total $1,222,603, have become non-refundable. On December 30, 2013, MRMI made an option payment to EPT in the amount of $250,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 MRMI made option payments to EPT totaling $750,000.
