Expectations for MA Casinos’ Impact on Mohegan Sun

20

• Similar number of machines caused an approximately 6% reduction in NY exposure, or approximately one-quarter of previous business

• Mohegan has less exposure to MA than it did to NY in 2006

• No smoking allowed in MA casinos

• Roll-off of ~$50mm annual relinquishment liability and cash flows from capital light projects likely to offset MA impact
