<P style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%" align="left">Since Hard Rock Hotel
Holdings, LLC (the &#8220;<I>Company</I>&#8221;) acquired the Hard Rock
Hotel&nbsp;&amp; Casino in Las Vegas (the &#8220;<I>Hard Rock</I>&#8221;) and
certain related assets on February&nbsp;2, 2007 (the &#8220;<I>Acquisition
Closing Date</I>&#8221;), the members of the Company have funded various
matters relating to the Hard Rock through postings of letters of credit or
contributions of cash to the Company. Pursuant to the Company&#8217;s limited
liability company agreement, subject to the receipt of required regulatory
approvals, if the Company&#8217;s members make fundings to the Company on a non
pro-rata basis, then the percentage interests of the members in the Company are
adjusted to take into consideration the disproportionate fundings (according to
formulas set forth in the limited liability agreement).

<P style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%" align="left">On December&nbsp;4,
2008, the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board approved the adjustments
to the members&#8217; percentage interests in the Company to take into account
fundings made after the Acquisition Closing Date. As of November&nbsp;4, 2008,
DLJ MB IV HRH, LLC, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV, L.P. and DLJMB HRH
VoteCo, LLC (collectively, the &#8220;<I>DLJMB Parties</I>&#8221;) had
collectively funded an additional approximately $244.1&nbsp;million in cash and
letters of credit and Morgans Hotel Group Co. and Morgans Group LLC
(collectively, the &#8220;<I>Morgans Parties</I>&#8221;) had collectively
funded an additional approximately $15.2&nbsp;million in cash and letters of
credit since the Acquisition Closing Date. As a result, as of November&nbsp;4,
2008, after giving effect to the adjustments approved by the Chairman on
December&nbsp;4, 2008, the DLJMB Parties collectively held a 85.84% Percentage
Interest (as defined in the Company&#8217;s limited liability company
agreement) in the Company and the Morgans Parties collectively held a 14.16%
Percentage Interest (as defined in the Company&#8217;s limited liability
company agreement) in the Company. Since November&nbsp;4, 2008, the DLJMB
Parties have made additional fundings to the Company that are not reflected in
the percentage interests described above.

the exemption from registration requirements under Section&nbsp;4(2) of the
