then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Nevada Law") permits a
corporation to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees and agents
against costs and expenses arising from claims, suits and proceedings if such
persons acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification may be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter, as to which such person is adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all
II-1
the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
In accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes 78.037, Article XI of Mandalay
Resort Group's Restated Articles of Incorporation provides that no director or
officer of Mandalay Resort Group shall be personally liable to Mandalay Resort
Group or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
or officer, except for (a) acts or omissions which include intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of dividends
in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.300.
Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.138, however, currently provides that a
director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i)
the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her
fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or
a knowing violation of the law. To the extent the Restated Articles of
Incorporation would be deemed to be inconsistent with Section 78.138, the
provisions of such statute should control.
Article X, Section 10.2 of Mandalay Resort Group's Restated Bylaws provides
for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
now or hereafter permitted by law.
Mandalay Resort Group maintains liability insurance under which officers
and directors are generally indemnified against losses and liability (including
costs, expenses, settlements, and judgments) incurred by them in such
capacities, individually or otherwise, other than specified excluded losses. The
insurance policy will pay on behalf of Mandalay Resort Group all covered losses
for which Mandalay Resort Group grants indemnification of each officer or
director as permitted by law which the officer or director becomes legally
obligated to pay on account of an indemnifiable claim. The policy generally
covers liabilities arising under the federal securities laws other than
specified exclusions such as any payment for a loss arising out of a deliberate
criminal or deliberate fraudulent act by the insured.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
