12.5% / 14.5% SECOND LIEN SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2016

1. Interest. The Majestic Star Casino, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the “Issuer”), as obligor, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate and in the manner specified below.

The Issuer shall pay, in cash, interest on the principal amount of this Note, at the rate of 12.5% per annum; provided that, only to the extent the Issuer is prohibited from paying any interest due on this Note in cash by any Credit Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer shall pay, in PIK Notes, interest on the principal amount of this Note, at the rate of 14.5% per annum. The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and on the maturity date, commencing on June 1, 2012, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. To the extent lawful, the Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate of 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes, provided that the Issuer may pay such interest in Additional Notes to the extent the Issuer is prohibited from paying any interest due on this Note in cash by any Credit Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement; the Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment. The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Issuer may pay principal and interest by check to a Holder’s registered address.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Holder. Subject to certain exceptions, any Subsidiary of the Issuer may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 1, 2011 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Note Guarantors named therein, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”) (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and thereafter as in effect on the date the Indenture is so qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer may issue Additional Notes.


5. Optional Redemption. The Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to the redemption date.

6. Mandatory Redemption. There shall be no mandatory redemption of the Notes (other than as provided in Sections 3.8 and 3.9 of the Indenture).

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00, except that PIK Notes or increased principal amount of a Global Note shall be in denominations of $1.00 or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee shall require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar and the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer (i) of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or (ii) of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes, subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the record dates for the payment of interest.

9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (except certain payment defaults) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Without the consent of any Holders, the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes, or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder or under the Indenture or the Security Documents of any Holder, to release any Guarantee of the Notes permitted to be released under the terms of the Indenture, to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or to comply with the requirements of the Trustee and the Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of beneficial interests in the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Collateral may not amend or supplement the Security Documents or waive or modify the rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of the Indenture relating thereto.

10. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Issuer must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.


11. Trustee Dealings with Issuer. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, member, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or controlling person of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this provision shall be construed as a waiver or release of any claims under the Federal securities laws.

13. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
