                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL  Hollywood Park, Inc. (the "Company" or "Hollywood Park") is a
diversified gaming, sports and entertainment company engaged in the ownership
and operation of casinos (including card club casinos), pari-mutuel racing
facilities, and the development of other gaming and sports related
opportunities.  Hollywood Park owns and operates, through its Boomtown, Inc.
("Boomtown") subsidiary, land-based, riverboat and dockside gaming operations in
Verdi, Nevada ("Boomtown Reno"), Harvey, Louisiana ("Boomtown New Orleans") and
Biloxi, Mississippi ("Boomtown Biloxi"), respectively.  Hollywood Park also owns
two card club casinos, located in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  The
Hollywood Park-Casino is operated by the Company, and is located on the same
property as the Hollywood Park Race Track.  The Company also owns the Crystal
Park Hotel and Casino (the "Crystal Park Casino"), which is leased to an
unaffiliated operator.  Presently, Hollywood Park is the only company that owns
and operates both California card club casinos and traditional casinos in
Nevada, Louisiana and Mississippi.  The Company's premier thoroughbred racing
facilities include, the Hollywood Park Race Track, which the Company has owned
for 60 years, and Turf Paradise, Inc. ("Turf Paradise"), located in Phoenix,
Arizona.

On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park and Casino Magic Corp. ("Casino Magic")
approved and signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Casino Magic,
Hollywood Park and HP Acquisition II, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hollywood Park).  Hollywood Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and
outstanding share of Casino Magic common stock, or approximately $81,000,000.
(See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.")

The financial information included herein has been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles as reflected in Hollywood Park's
consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.  This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q does not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally
presented annually and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management it reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present
a fair statement of the financial results for the interim periods.  It should be
understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve
greater reliance on estimates than at year end.  The interim racing results of
operations are not indicative of the results for the full year, due to the
seasonality of the Company's horse racing business.

</TABLE>

ESTIMATES  Financial statements prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles require the use of management estimates, including
estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment,
to determine the fair value of financial instruments, to account for the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and to determine litigation related
obligations.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
Whenever there are recognized events or changes in circumstances that indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management reviews the
asset for possible impairment.  In accordance with current accounting standards,
management uses estimated expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and
excluding interest costs, and grouped at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows that are as independent as possible of other asset
groups) to measure the recoverability of the asset.  If the expected future net
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss
would be recognized.  An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset,
with fair value measured as the amount at which the asset could be bought or
sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced
liquidation sale.  The estimation of expected future net cash flows is
inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions
regarding current and future net cash flows, market conditions, and the
availability of capital.  If, in future 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
periods, there are changes in the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the
impairment review analysis, the changes could result in an adjustment to the
carrying amount of the asset, but at no time would previously recognized
impairment losses be restored.

EARNINGS PER SHARE  Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net
income available to common shareholders (net income less preferred dividend
requirements) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period.  Diluted per share amounts were similarly computed, but include the
effect, when dilutive, of the conversion of the convertible preferred shares
(which is applicable to the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, only), and
exercise of stock options.

REDEMPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES  As of August 28, 1997, the Company's 2,749,900
outstanding depositary shares were converted into 2,291,492 shares of the
Company's common stock, thereby, eliminating the annual preferred stock cash
dividend payment of approximately $1,925,000 in future periods.

CASH FLOWS  Cash and cash equivalents included certificates of deposit and short
term investments with maturities of 90 days or less.

RACING REVENUES AND EXPENSES  The Company records pari-mutuel revenues,
admissions, food and beverage and other income associated with racing on a daily
basis, except for seasonal admissions, which are recorded ratably over the
racing season.  Expenses associated with racing revenues were charged against
income in those periods in which racing revenues were recognized.

GAMING REVENUE AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES  Gaming revenues at the Boomtown
properties consisted of the difference between gaming wins and losses, or net
win from gaming activity, and at the Hollywood Park-Casino consisted of fees
collected from patrons on a per seat or per hand basis.  Revenues in the
accompanying statements of operations excluded the retail value of food and
beverage provided to players on a complimentary basis.  The estimated cost of
providing these promotional allowances during the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, was $3,571,000 and $339,000, respectively, and for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, was $7,477,000 and $665,000, respectively.  (The
amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, are exclusive of the
costs associated with Boomtown's operations.)

RECLASSIFICATIONS  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances
to be consistent with the 1998 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION OF BOOMTOWN, INC.

On June 30, 1997, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April
23, 1996, by and among Hollywood Park, HP Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Boomtown, HP Acquisition, Inc. was merged with
and into Boomtown (the " Boomtown Merger").  As a result of the Boomtown Merger,
Boomtown became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each share of
Boomtown common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.625 of a share
of Hollywood Park's common stock.  Approximately 5,362,850 shares of Hollywood
Park common stock, valued at $9.8125 per share (excluding shares repurchased
from Edward P. Roski, Jr. ("Roski") and subsequently retired) were issued in the
Boomtown Merger.

The Boomtown Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
for a business combination.  The purchase price of the Boomtown Merger was
allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  Based on financial
analyses which considered the impact of general economic, financial and market
conditions on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it was determined
that the estimated fair values approximated their carrying value.  The Boomtown
Merger generated approximately $21,136,000 of excess acquisition cost over the
recorded value of the net assets acquired, all of which was allocated to
goodwill, to be amortized over 40 years.  The amortization of the goodwill is
not deductible for income tax purposes.  As of June 30, 1997, the 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
excess acquisition cost over the recorded value of the assets was estimated at
approximately $2,683,000. As of June 30, 1998, the Company revised its initial
estimates of the excess acquisition cost over the recorded value to $21,136,000,
due primarily to a reduction in the valuation of certain gaming fixed assets and
provisions for additional liabilities.

The Company acquired three of the four Boomtown properties; Boomtown Reno,
Boomtown New Orleans, and Boomtown Biloxi.  In connection with the Boomtown
Merger, Boomtown's Las Vegas property was divested on July 1, 1997, due to this
property having generated significant operating losses.

NOTE 3 -- SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 1998, short term investments consisted of investments in equity
securities.  These investments are recorded at fair value in the accompanying
financial statements, as determined by the quoted market price, and are
classified as available-for-sale.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company recorded an
unrealized gain on these investments of approximately $83,000.  Included in the
portfolio of equity securities were 653,900 shares of Casino Magic common stock,
for which the Company paid $2.00 per common share, or a total cost of $1,328,249
(inclusive of commissions).  As of August 6, 1998, the Company purchased an
additional 139,000 shares of Casino Magic common stock, at a cost of $2.03125
per common share, or a total additional cost of $286,702 (inclusive of
commissions).

NOTE 4 -- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment held as of June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
consisted of the following:

SECURED NOTES PAYABLE, BANK CREDIT FACILITY  On June 30, 1997, the Company
entered into a five year Bank Credit Facility with a bank syndicate led by Bank
of America National Trust and Savings Association.  As of June 30, 1998, due to
covenant limitations, approximately $87,280,000 of the total current
$100,000,000 Bank Credit Facility was available, of which $30,000,000 was
outstanding, at an interest rate of 7.88%.  The Bank Credit Facility is secured
by substantially all of the assets of Hollywood Park and its significant
subsidiaries, and imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants.

UNSECURED 9.5% NOTES   On August 6, 1997, Hollywood Park, Inc. and Hollywood
Park Operating Company, co-issued $125,000,000 of Series A 9.5% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Series A Notes").  On March 20, 1998, the
Company completed a registered exchange offer for the Series A Notes, pursuant
to which all $125,000,000 principal amount of the Series A Notes were exchanged
by the holders for $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series B 9.5%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, of the Company and Hollywood Park Operating
Company (the "Series B Notes") and, together with the Series A Notes, (the
"Notes") were registered under the Securities Act on Form S-4.  Interest on the
Notes is payable semi-annually, on February 1st and August 1st.  The Company
paid Liquidated Damages at an annual rate of 0.5% of the principal amount of the
Notes for the period January 27, 1998 to March 20,1998 (the date of consummation
of the exchange offer).  The Notes are redeemable, at the option of Hollywood
Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, in whole or in part, on or after
August 1, 2002, at a premium to face amount, plus accrued interest, as follows:
(a) August 1, 2002 at 104.75%; (b) August 1, 2003 at 102.375%; (c) August 1,
2004 at 101.188%; and (d) August 1, 2005 and thereafter at 100%.  The Notes are
unsecured obligations of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company,
guaranteed by all other material restricted subsidiaries of either Hollywood
Park or Hollywood Park Operating Company.

The indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") contains certain covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of Hollywood Park, Hollywood Park
Operating Company and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other
distributions, repurchase equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, create
certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell assets,
issue or sell equity interests in their respective subsidiaries or enter into
certain mergers and consolidations.  The Company believes that the consummation
of the Casino Magic Merger will be permitted under the terms of the Indenture
provided that, among other things, Casino Magic redeems a portion of its long
term indebtedness in a manner currently contemplated by the parties. (See "Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.")

BOOMTOWN 11.5% FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES  As permitted in the indenture (the
"Boomtown Indenture") governing the Boomtown 11.5% First Mortgage Notes (the
"Boomtown Notes") in June 1998, Boomtown elected to satisfy and discharge its
obligation regarding the $1,253,000 of Boomtown Notes.  As of June 9, 1998,
Boomtown had satisfied all conditions required to discharge its obligations
under the Boomtown Indenture.  The total cost to redeem the Boomtown Notes was
$1,378,000.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL  Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P. (the "Mississippi Partnership"), is a
Mississippi limited partnership, which is majority owned and controlled by
Hollywood Park, Inc. ("Hollywood Park"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Boomtown, Inc. ("Boomtown") and Bayview Yacht Club, Inc., which own 80% and 5%,
respectively, of the Mississippi Partnership, with the remaining 15% owned by
Eric Skrmetta ("Skrmetta").

The Mississippi Partnership owns and operates a casino ("Boomtown Biloxi"),
which opened in July 1994.  Boomtown Biloxi occupies nineteen acres on Biloxi
Mississippi's historic Back Bay.  The Mississippi Gulf Coast is marketed as the
"Playground of the South" and has been a major tourist destination, even prior
to the advent of full casino gaming in 1992.  The Mississippi Gulf Coast
comprises a land area of nearly 1,800 square miles, with more than 30 miles of
white sand beaches fronting the Gulf of Mexico.  Recent statistics indicated
that on an annual basis approximately 22 million patrons visited the Gulf Coast
casinos, of which 64% were drawn to the Mississippi Gulf Coast from outside the
state.  Boomtown Biloxi operates an "old west" themed 33,632 square foot casino,
which sits on a permanently moored 400 x 110 foot barge.  Boomtown Biloxi offers
1,038 slot machines and 35 table games.  The land-based facility houses all non-
gaming activities, including restaurants, buffets, a family video fun center and
gift shops.

On August 13, 1997, Hollywood Park exercised its option under the Mississippi
Partnership Agreement to exchange Skrmetta's interest in the Mississippi
Partnership, at Skrmetta's option, for either cash and/or shares of Hollywood
Park common stock with an aggregate value equal to the value of Skrmetta's 15%
interest in the Mississippi Partnership, with such value determined by a formula
set forth in the relevant Mississippi Partnership Agreement.  Hollywood Park
supplied Skrmetta with its calculation of the value of his 15% Mississippi
Partnership interest, and Skrmetta did not agree with the valuation.  Hollywood
Park has initiated arbitration proceedings to settle the valuation issue.

The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The
information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, it reflects all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary
to present a fair presentation of the financial results for this interim period.
It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently
involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.  This Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q does not include certain footnotes and financial presentations
normally presented annually and should be read in conjunction with the
Mississippi Partnership's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Historically, the Mississippi Partnership reported financial results with a year
end of September 30. Subsequent to Hollywood Park's June 30, 1997 acquisition of
Boomtown, the Mississippi Partnership reports results on a calendar year end of
December 31.

ESTIMATES  Financial statements prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles require the use of management estimates, including
estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of real estate and leasehold
interests held for investment.  These estimates are subject to a variety of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated by management.

GAMING REVENUES AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES  In accordance with industry
practices, the Mississippi Partnership recognized gaming revenues, as the net
win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and
losses.  Revenues in the accompanying statements of operations excluded the
retail value of food, beverage and other promotional allowances which were
provided to patrons without 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
charge. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances which were
reported as gaming expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
was $1,097,000 and $2,428,000, respectively, and for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, was $944,000 and $2,027,000, respectively.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
Whenever there are recognized events or changes in circumstances that indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management reviews the
asset for possible impairment.  In accordance with current accounting standards,
management uses estimated expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and
excluding interest costs, and grouped at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows that are as independent as possible of other asset
groups) to measure the recoverability of the asset.  If the expected future net
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset an impairment loss
would be recognized.  An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset,
with fair value measured as the amount at which the asset could be bought or
sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced
liquidation sale.  The estimation of expected future net cash flows is
inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions
regarding current and future net cash flows, market conditions, and the
availability of capital.  If, in future periods, there are changes in the
estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis the
changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset, but
at no time would previously recognized impairment losses be restored.

RECLASSIFICATIONS  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances
to be consistent with the 1998 financial statement presentation.

As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Mississippi Partnership also had
an outstanding note payable to Boomtown in the amounts of $44,827,000 and
$44,454,000, respectively.  These amounts primarily related to funds invested by
Boomtown for the initial construction of the property, and the net of subsequent
cash transfers to Boomtown from the Mississippi Partnership, and from Boomtown
to the Mississippi Partnership.  Interest on the note payable to Boomtown was
11.0% and 11.5%, as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

NOTE 5 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

DEBT GUARANTEES  On August 6, 1997, Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating
Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park), as co-obligors, issued
$125,000,000 of Series A 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, which on March
20, 1998, were exchanged for a like principal amount of 9.5% Series B Senior
Subordinated Notes (collectively the "Notes").  The Notes are fully and
unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed on a senior subordinated
basis by all of Hollywood Park's material subsidiaries, including Mississippi -
I Gaming, L.P.  This Quarterly Report is being filed pursuant to the Indenture
governing the Notes as a guarantor which is not wholly owned by the issuers of
the Notes.

In June 1997, Boomtown repurchased and retired an aggregate of approximately
$102,700,000 in principal amount of Boomtown's 11.5% First Mortgage Notes (the
"Boomtown Notes").  The remaining balance of $1,253,000 was fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P.  As permitted in the
Indenture (the "Boomtown Indenture") governing the Boomtown Notes, in June 1998,
Boomtown elected to satisfy and discharge its obligation regarding the Boomtown
Notes.  As of June 9, 1998, Boomtown has satisfied all conditions required to
discharge its obligations under the Boomtown Indenture.

LEASES WITH RELATED PARTIES  The Mississippi Partnership leases land from
Skrmetta for use by Boomtown Biloxi.  The lease term is 99 years and is
cancelable upon one year's notice.  The lease called for an initial 

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
deposit by the Mississippi Partnership of $2,000,000, for annual base lease rent
payments of $2,000,000 and percentage rent equal to 5.0% of adjusted gaming win
(as defined in the lease) over $25,000,000. Skrmetta agreed to provide the land,
free of annual base rent, for two years in exchange for a 15% interest in the
Mississippi Partnership. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the
Mississippi Partnership paid Skrmetta $811,000 and $1,609,000 of rent,
respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, paid
$751,000 and $1,508,000 of rent, respectively.

BARGE LEASE  On August 4, 1997, Hollywood Park executed an agreement to purchase
the barge that Boomtown Biloxi sits upon and the associated building shell for
$5,250,000.  The Mississippi Partnership had been leasing these assets.  The
Mississippi Partnership made a down payment of $1,500,000 upon signing the
agreement, with the balance payable in three equal annual installments of
$1,250,000 with interest set at the prime rate as of the first day of each year.

TIDELANDS LEASE  The Mississippi Partnership leases 5.1 acres of submerged
tidelands at the Boomtown Biloxi site from the State of Mississippi.  The lease
has a ten year term, (entered into in 1994) with a five year option to renew.
Lease rent for each of the first three years of the lease was $525,000, and will
be $425,000 for the next two years.  Rent for the balance of the lease term will
be determined in accordance with Mississippi law, based on an appraisal the
State of Mississippi will obtain.

OTHER  The Mississippi Gaming Commission requires (as a condition of licensing
or license renewal) gaming companies to make a one time capital investment in
facilities for general public use, such as restaurants and other non-gaming
facilities, equal to 25% of the initial casino construction and gaming equipment
costs.  On October 26, 1997, the Mississippi Partnership received verbal
notification that its current land-based facility satisfies the Mississippi
Commission's requirement.



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- -------------

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters addressed in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such
forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by
the Company's management.  Factors that may cause actual performance of
Hollywood Park to differ materially from that contemplated by such forward-
looking statements include, among others, the failure to finance or complete or
successfully operate planned improvements and expansions, including the Casino
Magic Merger (and, if the Casino Magic Merger is consummated, the ability to
meet the combined company's debt service obligations or to improve Casino
Magic's financial condition), the passage of adverse gaming-related legislation
in any of the Company's gaming jurisdictions (including, if passed the proposed
legislation in Mississippi described below) and a saturation of or other adverse
changes in gaming markets in which Hollywood Park operates (particularly in the
southeastern United States).  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (the "Act") provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking
statements.  All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the Act.  For more information on the potential
factors which could affect the Company's financial results, please review the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1997.

PENDING MERGER WITH CASINO MAGIC CORP.  On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park and
Casino Magic Corp. approved and signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among
Casino Magic Corp., Hollywood Park, Inc., and HP Acquisition II, Inc. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park) (the "Casino Magic Merger"), pursuant to
which HP Acquisition II, Inc., will merge into Casino Magic, with Casino Magic
surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park.  Hollywood
Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and outstanding share of Casino
Magic common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $81,000,000.  During the
second quarter of 1998 Hollywood Park purchased 653,900 shares of Casino Magic

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
common stock, for which it paid $2.00 per common share, or a total cost of
$1,328,249 (inclusive of commissions).  As of August 6, 1998, the Company
purchased an additional 139,000 shares of Casino Magic common stock, at a cost
of $2.03125 per common share, or a total additional cost of $286,702 (inclusive
of commissions).

The consummation of the Casino Magic Merger requires, among other things, the
approval of the Casino Magic shareholders, approval of the appropriate gaming
authorities in Mississippi and Louisiana, and an amendment to the Company's
present Bank Credit Facility to provide for the funds required to consummate the
Casino Magic Merger.  Casino Magic's shareholder meeting to vote on the Casino
Magic Merger is scheduled for September 9, 1998.  The Mississippi gaming
authorities have approved the Casino Magic Merger subject to approval by the
Casino Magic shareholders.  The Company expects to present the Casino Magic
Merger to the Louisiana gaming authorities in August 1998.  The Company has
executed commitment letters with Bank of America and members of the bank
syndicate for an Amended and Restated Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement (the
"Amended Bank Credit Facility") which would, among other things, increase the
amount available for the Company to borrow up to $300,000,000, reduce interest
and commitment fee rates, and amend certain covenants.  Final execution of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility is contingent upon, among other items, completion
of the Casino Magic Merger and redemption of certain Casino Magic debt
obligations.

On February 23, 1998, Hollywood Park entered into a voting agreement (the
"Voting Agreement") with Marlin F. Torguson ("Mr. Torguson") pursuant to which,
among other things, Mr. Torguson has agreed to vote the 7,954,500 shares, or
approximately 22%, of Casino Magic common stock he beneficially owns in favor of
approval and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Casino Magic
Merger, along with any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate
the Casino Magic Merger.  Mr. Torguson also agreed to continue to serve as an
employee of Casino Magic for three years following the Casino Magic Merger, and
not to compete with Hollywood Park or Casino Magic in any jurisdictions in which
either presently operates.

Casino Magic owns and operates dockside and riverboat gaming properties in Bay
St. Louis, Mississippi ("Casino Magic Bay St. Louis"), Biloxi, Mississippi
("Casino Magic Biloxi") and Bossier City, Louisiana ("Casino Magic Bossier"),
respectively, and is a 51% partner in two land-based casinos in Argentina.

Casino Magic Bay St. Louis began operations in September 1992 on a permanently
moored barge in a 17 acre marina with the adjoining land based facilities
situated on 591 acres.  Bay St. Louis is approximately 46 miles east of New
Orleans and 40 miles west of Biloxi.  Casino Magic Bay St. Louis offers
approximately 39,500 square feet of gaming space, with 1,132 slot machines and
42 table games.  The land based building is three stories with a restaurant,
buffet, snack bar, gift shop and live entertainment lounge.  In December 1994,
Casino Magic Bay St. Louis also opened the Casino Magic Inn; a 201 room hotel,
including four deluxe and 20 junior suites.  The property also contains the
Magic Dome, an 1,800 seat arena, which hosts approximately 50 events annually,
including nationally televised boxing matches, concerts and other special
events.  With the late 1997 addition of the 18 hole Bridges Golf Resort, Casino
Magic Bay St. Louis is positioned as a full service vacation destination.

Casino Magic Biloxi began casino operations in June 1993 and is located on the
Gulf of Mexico in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Region.  The property is situated
on the Front Bay on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico in a strip with four other
casinos, and is located on the major highway running through the Mississippi
Gulf Coast.  (Whereas, Boomtown Biloxi is located on the Back Bay of Biloxi.)
Casino Magic Biloxi conducts gaming from a permanently moored barge with
approximately 47,700 square feet of gaming space with 1,174 slot machines and 41
gaming tables.  The land based facility is located adjacent to the barge on the
approximately 11.5 acre site.  On May 1, 1998, Casino Magic Biloxi opened its
378 room luxury hotel, which includes 16 master suites, 70 junior suites, 6,600
square feet of convention and meeting space, a full service restaurant and
retail shops.  Casino Magic Biloxi's land based facility is approximately 21,600
square feet and offers buffets, full service restaurants and nationally
franchised fast food services.

Casino Magic Bossier opened in October 1996, with casino operations conducted
from a dockside riverboat.  The property is highly visible with convenient
access from Interstate Highway 20, a major thoroughfare between Bossier
City/Shreveport and the Dallas-Fort Worth area approximately 180 miles to the
west.  The Casino Magic Bossier riverboat measures 254 feet long and 78 feet
wide with approximately 30,000 square feet of gaming space, and offers 980 slot
machines and 44 table games.  The Casino Magic Bossier facility includes a
55,000 square foot entertainment pavilion connected to a garage providing
parking for approximately 1,400 vehicles.  The entertainment pavilion includes
the 350 seat Abracadabra buffet restaurant, a gift shop, a bar and lounge area,
and a 300 seat live entertainment theater.  The entertainment pavilion also
includes two smaller full service restaurants.  Casino Magic Bossier is just
beginning construction on a 188 room hotel with four master suites, 88 junior
suites and additional full service restaurants.  The hotel addition is expected
to be completed in early 1999.

In December 1994, Casino Magic, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Casino
Magic Neuquen SA ("Casino Magic Argentina"), entered into a twelve year
concession agreement with the Province of Neuquen, Argentina.  Casino Magic
Argentina operates two casinos in the Province of Neuquen in the cities of
Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes in west-central Argentina.  Neuquen Province
is the gateway to the well established tour destinations and ski resorts of the
Andes Mountains.  There are approximately 900,000 residents within a 50 mile
radius of the two cities.  Casino Magic Argentina, which began operations in
January 1995, includes approximately 29,000 square feet of gaming space and
contains approximately 64 table games, 400 slot machines and a 384 seat bingo
facility.

LEGENDS CASINO -- YAKAMA EXPANSION   Legends Casino opened on May 15, 1998,
featuring a 600 seat bingo hall, electronic pull tabs, and table games
including: Blackjack, Poker, Craps, Roulette, Mini-bac, Caribbean Stud.  Games
are played in the traditional Las Vegas style, with players betting against the
house.  (Legends Casino does not have slot machines.)  Legends Casino is located
in Toppenish, Washington, in a valley at the foot of Mt. Adams, a major vacation
destination.  Legends Casino is approximately 130 miles from both Seattle,
Washington and Portland, Oregon.  The nearest gaming facility is 157 miles away
in Pendelton, Oregon.

Hollywood Park, through its wholly owned subsidiary HP Yamaka, Inc. ("HP
Yakama") loaned approximately $9,243,000 to the Yakama Tribal Gaming Corporation
(the "Tribal Corporation") to construct the Legends Casino.  The Tribal
Corporation gave HP Yakama a promissory note for the $9,243,000, payable in 84
equal installments at a 10% rate of interest, with the first installment payable
on July 1, 1998.  The Tribal Corporation is current on amounts due under the
promissory note.

Pursuant to a seven year Master Lease between HP Yakama and the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Indian Nation (the "Tribes"), HP Yakama must pay
the Tribes monthly rent of $1,000.   HP Yakama and the Tribal Corporation
entered into a corresponding seven year Sublease, under which the Tribal
Corporation owes rent to HP Yakama.  Rent under the Sublease is initially set at
28% of Net Revenues (as defined in the relevant agreement), and decreases to 22%
over the seven year Sublease term.

HP Yakama, under the terms of a Profit Participation Agreement with North
American Sports Management ("NORAM") (who entered into the initial agreements
with the Tribal Corporation and the Tribes) is required to pay NORAM 22% of the
actual rent received from the Tribal Corporation under the Sublease.

BOOMTOWN NEW ORLEANS EXPANSION  On July 1, 1998, Boomtown New Orleans opened its
$10,000,000 land based expansion, The Great Escape.  The Great Escape is a
premier, adult oriented, dining and entertainment complex.  The 160 seat "Old
World" casual dining restaurant features an open display kitchen with a varied
and enticing menu.  The Great Escape features a state-of-the-art arcade style
amusement center including, among numerous other games, a 3-D giant screen
thrill ride; virtual reality rides; the very popular golf simulators; and a
billiard center.  There are also new banquet facilities for parties of up to 500
people.  The Great Escape is located on the second floor of the land based
facility and provides a second story entrance to the gaming floors of Boomtown
New Orleans' new larger and resplendent riverboat.

                                       21

BOOMTOWN BILOXI  On June 18, 1998, the Mississippi Gaming Commission renewed
Boomtown Biloxi's gaming operator's license for another two years.

MISSISSIPPI ANTI-GAMING INITIATIVE  In June 1998, a ballot measure to ban casino
gaming in Mississippi was filed with the state's attorney general.  If the
ballot measure is approved, it could require Mississippi casinos to shut down
within two years, and remain closed for at least four years.  The anti-gaming
coalition has until October 7, 1998, to collect the 98,000 signatures needed to
place the measure on the November 1999 ballot.  The Mississippi Gaming
Association and other pro-gaming groups filed suit to revise the initiative or
have it completely voided.  On July 24, 1998, a Judge ruled in favor of the
Mississippi Gaming Association's suit, which in effect declared the proposed
initiative null and void, due to the failure to disclose the economic impact of
closing down Mississippi gaming.  It is likely that a revised initiative will be
filed which will address the economic impact, and the attempt to ban Mississippi
gaming will continue.  It is too soon in the process to predict the outcome of
this situation.

PROPOSED INDIANA PROJECT  The Company has an application pending for the
remaining riverboat gaming license to be awarded for operations on the Ohio
River in Indiana.  The application was filed under a joint venture between the
Company and Hilton Gaming Corporation ("Hilton").  On May 6, 1998, Hollywood
Park and Hilton agreed that the Company would acquire Hilton's interest in the
joint venture, and Hilton withdrew as an applicant for the remaining Indiana
gaming license.  If the Company is awarded the Indiana gaming license, then the
Company will pay Hilton approximately $750,000 in exchange for Hilton's
interest, and plans to own and operate the project on its own.

On May 6, 1998, the Indiana Gaming Commission (the "Commission") met and decided
that it would grant the remaining Indiana gaming license on September 14, 1998.
There can be no assurance that the Commission will grant the gaming license or
that it will be granted to Hollywood Park, or if granted the gaming license,
that the Company will receive all other required approvals and environmental
permits necessary to proceed with this project.

TURF PARADISE  The Company has entered into an agreement to sell 12 acres of
land at its Phoenix, Arizona based Turf Paradise racing facility, for
approximately $4,574,000.  The purchaser (a national retailer) intends to
construct a major retail outlet at the site.  The sale is expected to be
completed no later than first quarter 1999.

HOLLYWOOD PARK GOLF CENTER  Due to potential lawsuits from nearby home owners,
in July 1998 the Company closed the Hollywood Park Golf Center.  The loss on the
write off of the Hollywood Park Golf Center assets, to be recorded in third
quarter 1998, will be approximately $1,126,000.

CRYSTAL PARK HOTEL AND CASINO  As of July 1, 1998, rent was scheduled to
increase to $350,000 per month, but instead, the Company agreed to accept rent
of $150,000 per month through January 1999, at which time the rent is presently
scheduled to increase to $350,000.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE  The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue on
its reporting systems and operations.  The year 2000 issue exists because
computer systems and applications were historically designed to use two digit
fields to designate a year, and date sensitive systems may not properly
recognize 2000.  Hollywood Park believes that its financial accounting software
will require limited changes to overcome the year 2000 issue, and any changes
are not expected to require material expenditures.  Based on the nature of
Hollywood Park's business, it is not expected that any non-financial software
applications that may be impacted by the year 2000 issue would cause any
interruption in operations.  The Company expects to complete any changes
required to overcome the year 2000 issue during 1998.  The Company currently
estimates that the costs associated with the year 2000 issue, and the
consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of the year 2000 issue, will
not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
position of the Company in any given year.

Even if the internal systems of the Company are not materially affected by the 
year 2000 issue, the Company could be affected through disruption in the 
operation of the outside entities with which the Company interacts. The Company 
relies, directly and indirectly, on external systems of business enterprises 
such as customers, suppliers and creditors, financial organizations and 
governmental entities for accurate exchange of data. The Company is in the 
process of determining whether those enterprises that have significant business 
relationships with the Company are taking adequate measures to address the year 
2000 issue.

SUNFLOWER RACING, INC.  Sunflower Racing, Inc. ("Sunflower") owns the Woodlands
Race Track located in Kansas City, Kansas.  On May 17, 1996, Sunflower filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  On March 31, 1996,
Hollywood Park recorded a non-cash write off of its approximately $11,412,000
investment in Sunflower.  In April 1998, the court rejected Sunflower's plan of
reorganization.  On June 4, 1998, the bankruptcy judge in Sunflower's bankruptcy
case converted the case from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 and appointed a trustee to
administer the assets of Sunflower.  Sunflower is presently operating under the
supervision of the trustee.  The trustee is moving ahead with plans to sell
Sunflower's assets later this year.

Sunflower has appealed the conversion orders as well as the order appointing a
trustee, and the earlier rejection.  The appeals are still pending.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST/PAIRED-SHARE STRUCTURE  The Company has no present
intentions to pursue a Real Estate Investment Trust Structure.

STOCK REPURCHASE  On August 5, 1998, the Company announced its intention to
repurchase and retire up to 20%, or approximately 5,256,000, shares of its
currently issued and outstanding common stock on the open market or in
negotiated transactions.  As of August 10, 1998, the Company had repurchased
44,128 shares at a total cost of approximately $486,000.



                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        
Hollywood Park's June 30, 1997 acquisition of Boomtown was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting for a business combination.  As required under
the purchase method of accounting, Boomtown's historical financial results were
not consolidated with Hollywood Park's historical financial results, and
therefore, the revenues and expenses vary significantly when comparing the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, to the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.

  Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30,

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased by
$56,801,000, or 122.6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997,
primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $58,239,000 of Boomtown revenues
in 1998, with no corresponding revenues recorded in 1997.  Gaming revenues
increased by $45,192,000, or 319.0%, due primarily to the inclusion of
$47,344,000 of Boomtown related revenues, netted against gaming revenue declines
at the Hollywood Park-Casino, due primarily to the implementation of a ban on
indoor smoking and recent economic problems in various Asian countries (a
significant portion of the Hollywood Park-Casino patrons are Asian).  Racing
revenues increased by $606,000, or 2.3%, due primarily to increased simulcasting
of Hollywood Park Race Track's live races to other racing facilities.  Food and
beverage revenues increased by $4,001,000, or 93.2%, due to the inclusion of
$3,969,000 of revenues generated at Boomtown properties, for which there were no
corresponding revenues in the 1997 results.  Hotel and recreational vehicle park
and truck stop and service station revenues related to Boomtown Reno, with no
corresponding revenues in the 1997 results.  Other income increased by
$2,830,000, or 173.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of $2,754,000 of other
income generated at the three Boomtown properties, for which there were no
corresponding revenues in 1997.

Total operating expenses increased by $48,584,000, or 131.5%, for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997,
primarily as a result of the inclusion of $49,281,000 of expenses related to
Boomtown for which there are no corresponding expenses in the 1997 results of
operations.  Gaming expenses increased by $23,237,000, or 286.5%, due primarily
to the inclusion of $24,630,000 of expenses related to Boomtown in the 1998
results and expense reductions of $1,393,000 at the Hollywood Park-Casino, a
result of the gaming revenue declines as previously discussed.  Food and
beverage expenses increased by $4,933,000, or 96.9%, due primarily to the
inclusion of $4,838,000 of expenses related to the three Boomtown properties,
with no corresponding expenses recorded in 1997.  Hotel

and recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station expenses
related to operations at Boomtown Reno with no similar costs in the 1997
results. Administrative expenses increased by $12,239,000, or 125.1%, of which
$11,411,000 was related to the three Boomtown properties, with the balance of
the increase primarily attributable to increased Hollywood Park corporate wages
due to additional staffing in 1998. Other expenses increased by $1,159,000, or
170.4%, due primarily to the inclusion of $1,215,000 of expenses related to the
three Boomtown properties. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$3,463,000, or 114.3%, due primarily to the inclusion of $3,606,000 of expenses
related to the three Boomtown properties. Interest expense increased by
$3,990,000, due to interest on the Notes, which were issued in August 1997, and
interest on borrowing from the Company's bank facilities (see "-Liquidity and
Capital Resources" below). Income tax expense increased by $1,743,000 or 47.4%,
due to the increase in pre-tax income in 1998 as compared to 1997.

 Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998, included the
results of operations of Boomtown, which was acquired by the Company on June 30,
1997, and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for a business
combination.  As required under the rules of purchase accounting, Boomtown's
results of operations, prior to the acquisition, were not combined with those of
Hollywood Park, and therefore, the results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, did not include Boomtown's results of operations,
generating significant differences when comparing the results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Total revenues increased by $108,143,000, or 147.9%, for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997, due primarily
to the inclusion of approximately $110,454,000 of revenues attributable to
Boomtown.  Gaming revenues increased by $87,859,000, or 327.3%, due primarily to
the inclusion of $90,989,000 of gaming revenues attributable to Boomtown, netted
against gaming revenue declines of approximately $2,230,000 at the Hollywood
Park-Casino, primarily a result of a ban on indoor smoking and recent economic
problems in various Asian countries (a significant portion of the Hollywood
Park-Casino's patrons are Asian).  Gaming revenues also declined by
approximately $900,000 at the Crystal Park Casino.  In 1997, the Crystal Park
Casino was leased to an operator, who subsequently defaulted on the lease and
the Company then leased the property to a new operator, and lowered the rent
during the first year to allow the new operator time to grow the business.
Racing revenues increased by $846,000, or 2.4%, due primarily to increased
revenues generated by simulcasting Hollywood Park Race Track's live races to
other racing facilities.  Food and beverage revenues increased by $7,002,000, or
102.1%, due primarily to the inclusion of Boomtown revenues of $7,031,000 in
1998, with no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results.  Hotel recreational
vehicle park and truck stop and service station revenues related to Boomtown
Reno, with no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results.  Other income
increased by $5,165,000, or 144.9%, due primarily to Boomtown revenues included
in the 1998 results and no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results.

Total operating expenses increased by $96,883,000, or 148.7%, during the six
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997,
due primarily to the inclusion of approximately $96,996,000 of Boomtown
operating expenses, for which there are no corresponding amounts in the 1997
operating expenses.  Gaming expenses increased by $48,155,000, or 317.6%, due
primarily to the inclusion of Boomtown expenses of $49,855,000, netted against
gaming expense declines at the Hollywood Park-Casino, a corresponding result of
the decline in Hollywood Park-Casino's gaming revenues.  Food and beverage
expenses increased by $8,717,000, or 98.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of
$8,593,000 of Boomtown expenses in 1998 with no corresponding revenues in 1997.
Hotel and recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station expenses
related to operations at Boomtown Reno with no corresponding costs in the 1997
results of operations.  Administrative expenses increased by $23,590,000, or
127.2%, due primarily to the inclusion of $22,829,000 of Boomtown expenses in
the 1998 results, with the balance of the increase primarily due to increased
expansion expenses at Hollywood Park.  Other expenses increased by $2,136,000,
or 148.4%, and included Boomtown costs of $2,280,000, for which there are no
corresponding costs in the 

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
1997 results. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7,269,000, or
125.8%, of which $7,165,000 was attributable to the three Boomtown properties.
Interest expense increased by $7,586,000, due to interest on the Notes and
interest on bank borrowings (see "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" below).
Income tax expense increased by $1,550,000, or 50%, due to the increased pre-tax
income in 1998 as compared to 1997.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                        
Hollywood Park's principal source of liquidity as of June 30, 1998, was cash and
cash equivalents of $40,079,000.  Cash and cash equivalents increased by
$16,330,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Net cash of $26,716,000
was provided by operating activities.  The Hollywood Park Race Track operates
its live race meet during the second quarter of each year, thus generating
additional operating cash.  Net cash of $37,796,000 was used in investing
activities.  Cash of $26,407,000 was used to purchase capital assets, including
amounts spent for the Boomtown Reno and Boomtown New Orleans construction
projects.  Cash of $7,636,000 was lent in connection with the HP Yakama project.
Cash was used for short term investing (including the purchase of Casino Magic
common stock) and the Company also, through it's wholly owned subsidiary HP
Casino, Inc. used cash of $1,946,000 to acquire the remaining minority interest
in Crystal Park LLC.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,410,000,
which included short term borrowings of $30,000,000 under the Company's Bank
Credit Facility.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $26,487,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 1997.  Net cash of $14,949,000 was provided by operating activities.
Net cash of $11,846,000 was provided by investing activities, which included
cash received in the Boomtown Merger and short term investment proceeds, netted
against disbursements for normal and necessary capital improvements.  Net cash
used in financing activities was $308,000.

HOLLYWOOD PARK  On June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a five year Bank
Credit Facility with a bank syndicate led by Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association ("Bank of America").  As of June 30, 1998, due to covenant
limitations, approximately $87,280,000 of the total current $100,000,000 Bank
Credit Facility was available, of which $30,000,000 was outstanding, at an
interest rate of 7.88%.  The Bank Credit Facility also provides for a letter of
credit sub-facility of $10,000,000, and a swing line sub-facility of up to
$10,000,000.  On May 1, 1998, a $2,035,000 outstanding letter of credit expired
and was not renewed.  The Bank Credit Facility is secured by substantially all
of the assets of Hollywood Park and its significant subsidiaries, and imposes
certain customary affirmative and negative covenants.

On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park announced the execution of an agreement to
consummate the Casino Magic Merger, and under the terms of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, Hollywood Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and
outstanding share of Casino Magic common stock, or approximately $81,000,000.
The Company has executed commitment letters with Bank of America and members of
the bank syndicate for an Amended and Restated Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement
(the "Amended Bank Credit Facility") which would, among other things, increase
the amount available to borrow to $300,000,000, reduce the interest and
commitment fee rates, and amend certain covenants.  Final execution of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility is contingent upon, among other items, completion
of the Casino Magic Merger and redemption of certain Casino Magic debt
obligations.

The Bank Credit Facility has been amended three times, most recently on June 12,
1998.  The first amendment, among other matters, reduced the availability of the
facility until the Bank Credit Facility was approved by the Louisiana Gaming
Control Board.  Hollywood Park received this approval on July 10, 1997.  The
second amendment, among other things, allowed the co-issuance of the Notes by
Hollywood Park Operating Company with Hollywood Park.  The third amendment,
among other things, modified certain covenants, allowing for increased capital
expenditures and other investments.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
Debt service requirements on the Bank Credit Facility consist of current
interest payments on outstanding indebtedness through September 30, 1999.
Beginning September 30, 1999, and on the last day of each third calendar month
thereafter, through June 30, 2001, the Bank Credit Facility will decrease by
7.5% of the commitment in effect on September 30, 1999.  Beginning September 30,
2001, and on the last day of each third calendar month thereafter, the Bank
Credit Facility will decrease by 10% of the commitment in effect on September
30, 1999.  Any principal amounts outstanding in excess of the Bank Credit
Facility commitment, as so reduced, will be payable on such quarterly reduction
dates.

Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate
determined, at the election of Hollywood Park, by reference to the "Eurodollar
Rate" (for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months) or the "Reference Rate", as
such terms are respectively defined in the Bank Credit Facility, plus margins
which vary depending upon Hollywood Park's ratio of funded debt to earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").  The margins
start at 1.25% for Eurodollar loans and at 0.25% for Base Rate loans, at a
funded debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1.50.  Thereafter, the margin for each
type of loan increases by 25 basis points for each increase in the ratio of
funded debt to EBITDA of 50 basis points or more, up to 2.625% for Eurodollar
loans and 1.625% for Base Rate loans.  However, if the ratio of senior funded
debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.50, the applicable margins will increase to 3.25% for
Eurodollar loans, and 2.25% for Base Rate loans.  Thereafter, the margins would
increase by 25 basis points for each increase in the ratio of senior funded debt
to EBITDA of 50 basis points or more, up to a maximum of 4.25% for Eurodollar
loans and 3.25% for Base Rate loans.  The applicable margins as of June 30,
1998, were 2.25% with respect to the Eurodollar Rate based interest rate and
1.25% with respect to the Base Rate interest rate.

The Bank Credit Facility allows for interest rate swap agreements, or other
interest rate protection agreements, up to a maximum notional amount of
$125,000,000.  Presently, Hollywood Park does not utilize such financial
instruments.

Hollywood Park pays a quarterly commitment fee for the average daily amount of
unused portions of the Bank Credit Facility.  The commitment fee is also
dependent upon Hollywood Park's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA.  The commitment
fee for the Bank Credit Facility starts at 31.25 basis points when the ratio is
less than 1.00, and increases by 6.25 basis points for each increase in the
ratio of 0.50, up to a maximum of 50 basis points.  For the quarter beginning
April 1, 1998, the commitment fee was 50 basis points.

On July 3, 1997, Hollywood Park borrowed $112,000,000 from the Bank Credit
Facility to fund Boomtown's offer to purchase its 11.5% Boomtown First Mortgage
Notes (the "Boomtown Notes"), and repaid this amount on August 7, 1997, with a
portion of the proceeds from the August 6, 1997, issuance of $125,000,000 of
Series A Notes due 2007.  The Series A Notes were co-issued by Hollywood Park
and Hollywood Park Operating Company, and were issued pursuant to a private
offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The balance of the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Notes was used
primarily for the purchase of a new riverboat for Boomtown New Orleans, and
other general corporate needs.

On March 20, 1998, the Company completed a registered exchange offer for the
Series A Notes, pursuant to which all $125,000,000 principal amount of the
Series A Notes were exchanged by the holders for $125,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Series B Notes of the Company and Hollywood Park Operating
Company which were registered under the Securities Act on Form S-4.  Interest on
the Notes is payable semi-annually, on February 1st and August 1st.  The Company
has paid Liquidated Damages at an annual rate of 0.5% of the principal amount of
the Notes for the period January 27, 1998 to March 20, 1998 (the date of
consummation of the exchange offer).  The Notes are redeemable, at the option of
Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, in whole or in part, on or
after August 1, 2002, at a premium to face amount, plus accrued interest, as
follows: (a) August 1, 2002 at 104.75%; (b) August 1, 2003 at 102.375%; (c)
August 1, 2004 at 101.188%; and (d) August 1, 2005 and thereafter at 100%.  The
Notes are unsecured obligations of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating
Company, guaranteed by all other material restricted subsidiaries of either
Hollywood Park or Hollywood Park Operating Company.

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
The indenture governing the Notes contains certain covenants that, among other
things, limits the ability of Hollywood Park, Hollywood Park Operating Company
and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue
preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity
interests (the previously discussed stock repurchase falls within the parameters
of the indenture) or subordinated indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into
certain transactions with affiliates, sell assets, issue or sell equity
interests in their respective subsidiaries or enter into certain mergers and
consolidations.  The Company believes that the consummation of the Casino Magic
Merger, and the execution of the Amended Bank Credit Facility will be permitted
under the terms of the Indenture provided that, among other things, Casino Magic
redeems a portion of its long term indebtedness in a manner currently
contemplated by the parties.

Effective August 28, 1997, the Company's 2,749,900 outstanding depositary shares
were converted into approximately 2,291,500 shares of its common stock, thereby
eliminating the annual preferred cash dividend payment of approximately
$1,925,000 in future periods.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company has invested approximately $3,514,000
(inclusive of an unrealized gain of approximately $83,000) in equity securities
(including Casino Magic common stock), which are presently being held as
available-for-sale.

BOOMTOWN  In November 1993, Boomtown issued $103,500,000 of 11.5% First Mortgage
Notes (the "Boomtown Notes").  On July 3, 1997, pursuant to a tender offer,
Boomtown repurchased and retired approximately $102,142,000 in principal amount
of the Boomtown Notes, at a purchase price of $1,085 per $1,000, along with
accrued interest thereon.  An additional $105,000 of the remaining Boomtown
Notes were tendered in the post Boomtown Merger change of control purchase
offer, at a price of $1,010 for each $1,000, completed August 12, 1997.  As
permitted in the indenture governing the Boomtown Notes (the "Boomtown
Indenture"), in June 1998, Boomtown elected to satisfy and discharge its
obligation regarding the remaining $1,253,000 of Boomtown Notes.  As of June 9,
1998, Boomtown had satisfied all conditions required to discharge its
obligations under the Boomtown Indenture.  Total cost to redeem the Boomtown
Notes was $1,378,000.

As consideration for the sale of its Las Vegas property, Boomtown received two
promissory notes receivable from Mr. Roski, the former lessor of Boomtown's Las
Vegas property, totaling approximately $8,465,000.  The first note is for
$5,000,000, bearing interest at Bank of America's reference rate plus 1.5% per
year, with annual principal payments of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest
commencing on July 1, 1998.  The second note is for approximately $3,465,000,
bearing interest at Bank of America's reference rate plus 0.5% per year, with
the principal and accrued interest payable, in full, on July 1, 2000.  (Mr.
Roski made the required July 1, 1998, principal and interest payment.)

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS  The Company has a capital commitment of approximately
$81,000,000, with respect to the purchase of Casino Magic's common stock, in
conjunction with the Casino Magic Merger, and as previously mentioned in
connection with the Amended Bank Credit Facility, will require an additional
$143,000,000 to redeem the 11.5% Casino Magic First Mortgage Notes.  The Casino
Magic Merger is expected to be completed in fourth quarter 1998, and the
redemption of the 11.5% Casino Magic First Mortgage Notes to be completed as
soon as practical thereafter.

Expansion Costs  In addition to the capital commitments as discussed, Hollywood
- ---------------                                                                
Park has other capital needs with respect to Boomtown Reno.  The Company expects
to spend approximately $25,000,000 on the expansion and renovation of Boomtown
Reno, including additional hotel rooms, expanded gaming space and other
amenities, which is expected to be completed by the end of 1998.  As of June 30,
1998, the Company has disbursed approximately $9,400,000 related to the Boomtown
Reno expansion.

GENERAL  Hollywood Park is continually evaluating future growth opportunities in
the gaming, sports and entertainment industries.  Hollywood Park expects that
funding for the Casino Magic Merger, other 

                                       27
<PAGE>
 
expansion, payment of interest on the Notes, payment of notes payable, and
normal and necessary capital expenditure needs will come from existing cash
balances generated from operating activities and borrowings from the Bank Credit
Facility. In the opinion of management, these resources will be sufficient to
meet Hollywood Park's anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future
and in any event for at least the next twelve months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

As of June 30, 1998, Hollywood Park did not hold any investments in market risk
sensitive instruments of the type described in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
- -------------------------

On July 21, 1998, Mr. Harry Ornest, Director and Vice Chairman of Hollywood
Park, Inc. passed away.  The Company is seeking a suitable replacement.

The Company continues to support legislation in California which would
significantly reduce the license fees paid to the state on wagers on
thoroughbred races, and would significantly increase the number of out-of-state
thoroughbred races that Hollywood Park Race Track would be able to simulcast
from other race tracks.  Senate Bill 27 ("SB-27") is currently pending before
the Assembly Appropriations Committee.  While passage of this legislation is
speculative, the Company is cautiously optimistic that SB-27, or some variation
thereof, will be enacted in 1998.  The precise benefits of this legislation are
subject to a number of factors and no assurance can be given of the magnitude of
such benefits in future years.

using for purposes of such proration the number of days which would have been in
such first monthly installment period if the Commencement Date had been the
first day of the calendar month.  The monthly installment payment to Landlord on
account of the Base Rent shall be equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the Base Rent

to Landlord a detailed annual statement setting forth the calculations of Gross
Gaming Win as filed with the Indiana Gaming Commission and the amount Additional

difference, if any, between the Additional Rent payable to Landlord for such
calendar year or partial calendar year, as computed and stated in the annual
statement, and the sum of the monthly installments Additional Rent paid to
Landlord for such calendar year or partial calendar year.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the sum of the monthly installments of Additional Rent
paid to Landlord for such calendar year or partial calendar year exceed the

     of any excavation or filling of the Leased Premises or the construction of
     any Improvements on the Leased Premises, shall conduct such environmental
     assessments and environmental testing and sampling as Tenant deems

     about the Leased Premises or the presence of contamination of the soil,
     surface water or ground water on, under or about the Leased Premises by
     Hazardous Substances. If such environmental assessments, testing and/or

     Substances to be placed, held or located on or at the Leased Premises,
     other than Hazardous Substances of a nature and in amounts normally present
     in or on, or used in connection with the operation of, commercial and
     retail facilities of the type constructed on the Leased Premises. Tenant
     shall not permit any Hazardous Substances to be disposed of or released
     upon the Leased Premises. To the extent any Hazardous Substances permitted
     to be placed, held, or located on or at the Leased Premises are regulated
     by any Environmental Laws, Tenant shall place, hold, locate or dispose of
     such Hazardous Substances in strict compliance with such applicable law.

               (c)  If Tenant has knowledge of or receives any notice of (i) the
     release, spill, discharge or emission of any Hazardous Substance from the
     Leased

     Discharge from the Leased Premises (an "ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLAINT") from any
     person or entity, including (without limitation) the United States
     Environmental Protection Agency and the Indiana Department of Environmental
     Management or any successor agency, Tenant shall give immediate notice

     affiliated entities, and their respective officers, directors, agents and
     employees from and against all damages, liability, losses, fines,
     penalties, costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) court costs,
     attorneys' fees and costs of removal or remediation of any Hazardous
     Substances or any contamination of soil, surface water or ground water by
     Hazardous Substances, arising out of, resulting from or in any way
     connected with (i) any breach or default by Tenant in the observance or
     performance of its covenants under the foregoing paragraphs (a) or (b),
     (ii) any violation of any Environmental Laws pertaining to the Leased
     Premises or Improvements or any activity thereon by Tenant or anyone else
     (other than Landlord) during the Term, (iii) any Environmental Complaint,
     whether meritorious or not, arising from any act or omission of Tenant or
     anyone else (other than Landlord) during the Term or (iv) any Hazardous
     Discharge occurring during the Term. Tenant's indemnification obligations
     hereunder shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and
     liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord at law or in equity, including,
     without limitation, the obligation Tenant has to indemnify and hold
     Landlord harmless under that certain Option to Lease Agreement between

                            ----------------------

          During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of first
refusal concerning the purchase of the Leased Premises on the terms hereinafter
set forth.  If at any time during the Term, Landlord shall receive a bona fide
offer, other than at public auction, from a third person (who does not have the
power of eminent domain) for the purchase of the Leased Premises, which offer
Landlord shall desire to accept, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant a
copy of such offer, and Tenant may, within sixty (60) business days thereafter,
elect to purchase the Leased Premises on the same terms as those set forth in
such offer.  If Tenant shall not accept such offer within the time specified
therefor and the Landlord shall close upon the sale of the Leased Premises
pursuant to the terms of such third party offer, the right of refusal shall
cease to exist, but this Lease shall continue otherwise on all of the other
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  This right of first refusal
shall be inapplicable to a transfer by way of sale, gift or devise, including a
trust, to or for a party related to Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord, or to
any transfer from one such related or affiliated party to another, but shall
apply to any such transfer to a unrelated or non affiliated third party.  If the
Leased Premises shall be conveyed to the Tenant under this right of first
refusal, any prepaid Rent shall be apportioned and applied on account of the
purchase price.

                                  ARTICLE VII

          SECTION 7.01   OPTION TO PURCHASE.  So long as this Lease is then in

full force and effect and Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall have
the option to purchase the Leased Premises on, or after, the twentieth (20th)
anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "PURCHASE OPTION") provided that
Tenant notify Landlord of its exercise of the Purchase Option and Tenant
specifies a time and place for closing (the "CLOSING").

Tenant to Landlord for the Leased Premises, together with the Other Leased
Premises, shall be Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000), subject to adjustments
provided for in this Lease (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Purchase Price shall be

published Index prior to the Commencement Date and the most recently published
Index prior to the date that Tenant exercises the Purchase Option; provided,
that the Purchase Price shall never be less than Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000). The portion of the Purchase Price payable to Landlord and
allocated to the Leased Premises is Twenty-Seven Million Dollars ($27,000,000).

          SECTION 7.03   OPTIONS EXERCISED CONCURRENTLY.  Tenant shall not

exercise the option set forth in this Article VII unless Tenant shall
concurrently exercise the purchase option set forth in the Other Lease.

          ------------   --------------------------                           
shall convey title to the Leased Premises to Tenant by limited/special warranty
deed subject only to matters existing on the date of Tenant's title insurance
policy in place as of the date of Closing and matters caused or created by
Tenant.

          SECTION 7.05   MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS AND COSTS.  Rent shall be prorated

with a suitable affidavit satisfying the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code relating to withholding of a portion of the Purchase Price in the event of
a purchase from a foreign person.

          Landlord shall promptly upon request prepare, execute and deliver such
further documents, and shall promptly obtain beneficiary statements and similar
certificates and perform such other acts as shall from time to time be
reasonably required in effecting the Closing and conveying, assigning,

          SECTION 8.01.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASES.  Except as hereafter
          ------------   ------------------------                      
expressly provided in this Section 8.01 or in Section 15.02, Tenant shall not
assign, sell or transfer this Lease or title to the Improvements or any interest
therein or sublease or lease all or any part of the Leased Premises and/or
Improvements without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as Tenant remains
fully liable for the obligations under the terms of the Lease.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign, sell or transfer this
Lease or title to the Improvements or any interest therein to: (i) any entity
whose shares of stock are publicly traded on a national stock exchange or (ii)
any entity having a net worth of not less than One Hundred Million Dollars
($100,000,000).  In no event shall Tenant assign or transfer this Lease or title
to the Improvements to any person or entity that does not hold a riverboat
owner's license for Switzerland County, Indiana.  Any assignment or transfer by
operation of law (voluntary or involuntary), merger, conversion or
reorganization, any assignment or transfer to a receiver or trustee in any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding shall constitute an
assignment or transfer for purposes of this Lease.  Any change in control of
Tenant or of any entity controlling Tenant shall not constitute an assignment or
transfer for purposes of this Lease.  For purposes of this Section 8.01,
"control" means the power to direct the management and policies of Tenant,
directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership or control of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the shares or other equity or beneficial interest or
power to vote the same, or by the partnership or trust agreement or other
instrument or contract or 

                                       22

otherwise; and the term "controlling" has the meaning correlative to the
foregoing. The foregoing restrictions of this Section 7.01 shall not apply to an
assignment or transfer by reason of foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure
to any Mortgagee or to an assignment or transfer by reason of condemnation or
deed in lieu of condemnation to any condemning authority. In addition, Tenant
shall be entitled to sublease retail space in the Improvement in the ordinary
course of business without the requirement of any consent of Landlord.

          SECTION 8.02.  ENCUMBRANCES.  Except for Mortgages meeting the
          ------------   ------------                                   
requirements of Section 15.02, Tenant shall have no right to mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or the Leased Premises and/or
Improvements, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion.

          SECTION 8.03.  GENERAL.  The consent by Landlord under the foregoing
          ------------   -------                                              
Sections 8.01 or 8.02 to any assignment, sale, transfer, letting or encumbrance
shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement of consent to any subsequent
assignment, sale, transfer or letting or encumbrance.  No assignment or transfer
by Tenant permitted hereby shall operate as a release of Tenant from its
obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall remain jointly and severally liable with
such assignee or transferee for the continuing obligations of the Tenant
hereunder.  Any purported assignment, sale, transfer, or letting in violation of
this Article VII shall be void and of no force and effect.

          ------------   -------------------------------------               
pay and discharge punctually, as and when the same shall become due and payable
(except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02):

          (a)  all Taxes which are assessed with respect to the Leased Premises
and the Improvements, or any part thereof, or any appurtenances or equipment
thereon owned by or leased to Tenant for any calendar year (or part thereof)
within the Term, together with all interest and penalties thereon.  Real Estate
Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term commences and ends shall
be prorated and paid as provided in Section 9.02; and

          (b)  all Utility Expenses commencing with the Commencement Date.

          Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with the covenants of this
Section 8.01 if payment of Taxes and Utility Expenses shall have been made
either within any period allowed by applicable law before the same shall become
a lien upon the Leased Premises or Improvements; or, if the Tax or Utility
Expense constitutes a lien before it is due and payable, then, before any
penalty 

                                       23

or interest is assessed with respect thereto. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
satisfactory evidence of payment of Real Estate Taxes and any other payment
hereunder if requested to do so by Landlord in writing.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.01 to the contrary, in the
event the Leased Premises and Improvements (or any part thereof) are assessed
for Real Estate Tax purposes as part of a larger parcel that is owned by
Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before ten (10) days prior to the
date the Real Estate Taxes with respect to such larger parcel are due and
payable by Landlord (i) Tenant's proportionate share (determined on the basis of
acreage) of the Real Estate Taxes assessed for land with respect to such larger
parcel for land and (ii) the Real Estate Taxes assessed with respect to the
Improvements; and Landlord shall, following receipt of such payment from Tenant,
pay the Real Estate Taxes for such larger parcel.

          SECTION 9.02.  PRORATION OF REAL ESTATE TAXES.  Real Estate Taxes
          ------------   ------------------------------                    
assessed for the calendar years in which the Term commences and ends shall be
prorated based upon the number of days within each such calendar year as shall
fall within the Term.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord's pro rata
share of the Real Estate Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term
commences promptly upon receipt by Landlord of satisfactory evidence of the
payment of such Real Estate Taxes by Tenant.  Tenant shall pay on the date of
termination of this Lease all Real Estate Taxes due and payable during the
calendar year in which the Term ends and Tenant's pro rata share of Real Estate
Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term ends.  If the amount of
such Real Estate Taxes is not then determined, the most recently available tax
rates and assessed valuations shall be used in determining the amount to be paid
under this Section 9.02.

          SECTION 9.03.  RIGHT TO CONTEST.  Tenant shall have the right to
          ------------   ----------------                                 
contest all Taxes and Utility Expenses referred to in Section 9.01 by
appropriate legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it may deem
appropriate.  Such legal proceedings shall include any and all appropriate
appeals or other proceedings and appeals from orders, judgments or decrees so
long as the same are sufficient to prevent a foreclosure sale.  Tenant shall
conduct all such proceedings at its expense.  Landlord, in its capacity as the
fee simple owner of the Real Estate, shall execute all documents reasonably
required for such proceedings.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall pay any such Taxes or Utility Expenses prior to the time
the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof) shall become subject
to sale upon foreclosure of the lien therefor.

          SECTION 9.04.  DISTRIBUTION OF OVERPAYMENT.  If there shall be any
          ------------   ---------------------------                        
refunds or rebates on account of Taxes or Utility Expenses paid by Tenant under
the provisions of this Lease, such refund or rebate shall belong to Tenant,
whether or not received by Landlord during the Term; provided, however, that in
the event of a refund or rebate resulting from the contest of Real Estate Taxes,
Landlord shall be entitled to its proportionate share of such refund or rebate
if the Real Estate Taxes were assessed on a larger parcel owned by Landlord of
which the Leased Premises and/or Improvements are a part.  Any refunds so
received by Landlord shall be deemed to be received by Landlord in trust for
Tenant and shall be paid to Tenant forthwith.  Landlord will, upon request of

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
Tenant, sign any receipts which may be necessary to secure the payment of any
such refund or rebate.

          SECTION 9.05.  SEPARATE ASSESSMENTS.  If the Leased Premises is part
          ------------   --------------------                                 
of a larger parcel that is owned by Landlord, Landlord shall make such
application as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain separate tax
assessments for the Leased Premises and Improvements. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

          Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at its expense, keep and
maintain or cause to be kept and maintained the Leased Premises and Improvements
in a first class, clean and safe condition and repair and in compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all applicable orders and requirements of governmental
authorities, including (without limitation) the making of all necessary
structural repairs and replacements. Landlord shall not be required to furnish
any services or facilities or to make any improvements, repairs or alterations
in or to the Leased Premises or the Improvements during the Term.

filing thereof discharge of record, at Tenant's expense, any mechanics',
materialmen's or other lien, or notice of intention to file any such lien, filed
against the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof or interest
therein; provided that Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity of
any such lien in any manner permitted by law so long as Tenant (a) shall provide
to Landlord, title insurance, an indemnity, bond or other assurance or security
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (b) shall thereafter diligently proceed
to cause such lien or notice of intention to file a lien to be removed and
discharged. If Tenant shall fail to so discharge, or to seek to discharge, any
such lien or notice of intention to file a lien, then Landlord may, but shall
not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to
be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in court a bond
for the amount claimed or in such other manner as is or may be permitted by law,
and Tenant shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord in respect thereto.

          SECTION 11.02.  INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT.  Subject to the provisions
          -------------   -------------------------                            
of Section 12.05 and regardless of whether or not caused or alleged to be caused
by the several, joint, concurrent or comparative negligence, but not sole
negligence, of Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole

cost and expense, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against and from any and
all liability, damages, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, court costs and attorneys' fees) arising out of, resulting
from or in any way connected with: (a) Tenant's possession, use or control of
the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term, (b) any
condition of the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the
Term, (c) any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any
covenant or agreement to be observed or performed by Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, (d) any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant, or
any of its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or its or their employees,
customers or invitees, or (e) any accident, injury to or death of persons or
damage to property whatsoever in or about the Leased Premises or Improvements or
any part thereof during the Term. In case any claim, action or proceeding
covered by the preceding indemnification provisions shall be brought against
Landlord, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall defend such action or
proceeding with counsel acceptable to Landlord.

          Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be in addition to
any and all other obligations Tenant may have to Landlord at law or in equity
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and any
transfer by Landlord of title to the Leased Premises.

          SECTION 12.01.  LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Tenant shall maintain and keep
          -------------   -------------------                                 
in force at all times during the Term, with an insurance company or companies
licensed to do business in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to
Landlord (a) comprehensive general public liability insurance covering any and
all claims for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property occurring
in or upon the Leased Premises and Improvements and having initial minimum
levels of combined coverage for bodily injury (including death resulting
therefrom) and property damage, including umbrella coverage, of not less than
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), for each occurrence and on an annual
aggregate basis and (b) workmen's compensation and employer's liability
insurance in such amounts as shall be required by law from time to time, but in
no event less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per accident.
Tenant's comprehensive general public liability insurance shall have extensions
of coverage to include blanket contractual liability for written and oral
contracts (including Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder), broad form
property damage and premises operations (including explosion, collapse and
underground coverage). In addition, Tenant shall maintain or cause its
contractor(s) or construction manager to maintain products and completed
operations coverage through the period ending two (2) years after completion of
construction of the Improvements. Each policy referred to in this Section 11.01
shall name Landlord as an additional insured, as well as Tenant's contractor(s)
and/or construction manager during the period of construction of any
Improvements and during any period in which construction, alteration or
substantial repair work is being performed on or to the Leased Premises or
Improvements (or any part thereof). Such liability insurance may be provided by
a single policy or combination of underlying policies, with the balance provided
by an excess or umbrella liability policy; provided such excess or umbrella
insurance complies with all other requirements of this Lease with respect to
such insurance.

          SECTION 12.02.  PROPERTY INSURANCE.  During the Term, Tenant shall
          -------------   ------------------                                
keep the Improvements insured with an insurance company licensed to do business
in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to Landlord for the benefit of
Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or
damage by fire or other casualty (including earthquake, to the extent customary
and available at reasonable costs) covered by a customary extended coverage
endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement
cost thereof and providing for and having a deductible in an amount not
exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). In addition during the period
of construction of the Improvements (or during any period in which construction,
alteration or substantial repair work is being performed on or to the Leased
Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof), Tenant shall maintain in force
builder's all risk coverage, with fire and extended coverages. Such builder's
all risk coverage may be written as an endorsement to the casualty insurance
required by the first sentence of this Section 11.02 and shall protect the
interests of Landlord and Tenant's construction manager and/or contractors and
subcontractors as their respective interests may appear. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall at all times maintain such insurance in an amount
sufficient to meet all co-insurance requirements under such insurance policy.
Landlord shall not carry any insurance concurrent in coverage and contributing
in the event of loss with any insurance required to be furnished by Tenant
hereunder, if the effect of such separate insurance would be to reduce the
protection or the payment to be made under Tenant's insurance.

          SECTION 12.03.  PROOF OF INSURANCE.  Tenant shall deliver copies of
          -------------   ------------------                                 
the insurance policies showing the coverages required by this Article XI to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date but in all events
prior to the commencement of any excavation or filling of the Real Estate or the
construction of any Improvements, and thereafter a copy of each replacement
policy shall be provided not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the policy being replaced. Each such policy referred to in this Article XII
shall contain a provision providing that the policy shall not be canceled, not
renewed or materially amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord.

          SECTION 12.04.  ADJUSTMENT IN INSURANCE.  If by reason of changed
          -------------   -----------------------                          
conditions or by reason of experience Landlord reasonably determines that the
insurance amounts referred to in the foregoing Section 12.01 are inadequate,
Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, increase the amounts of such insurance
carried to the extent appropriate for a like facility under like circumstances.
In the event that it shall become customary for lessees of similar premises to
maintain types or coverages of insurance other than those required to be
maintained by Tenant under this Article XII, Tenant shall maintain such other
types of coverages of insurance upon the written request of Landlord so long as
such types or coverages of insurance can be obtained by Tenant at reasonable
cost.

          SECTION 12.05.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Tenant and Landlord waive all
          -------------   ---------------------                                
rights against each other and against those for whom the other is legally liable
for all losses covered by insurance provided under this Article XI to the extent
the limits of such insurance are adequate to cover such losses, it being the
intent of this provision to allocate all risk of such loss to such insurance;
provided, however, that this waiver shall not be effective if it would preclude
- --------  -------                                                              
or prejudice the right of Landlord or Tenant to recover under such insurance
policy.  If the policies of insurance provided for under this Article XI require
an endorsement to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of
subrogation, Tenant shall cause such policies to be so endorsed.

          SECTION 12.06.  INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of all policies of
          -------------   ------------------                                  
insurance on the Improvements maintained pursuant to Section 11.02 remaining
after any required payment to any Mortgagee shall be used as a trust fund toward
the repair, replacement or rebuilding of the Improvements. Accordingly, all
insurance proceeds paid to Tenant and/or Landlord under such policies shall be
deemed to be received and held by such party in trust for the payment of the
costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements. All such
insurance proceeds so received shall be deposited by such party with the first
Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee with a banking or similar institution
approved by Landlord, to be held and disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution
for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the
Improvements in the manner and upon the conditions customarily applicable to
construction loans. If the insurance proceeds shall exceed the cost of
repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Improvements, the balance remaining after
payment of such costs shall be the property of and shall be paid to Tenant. The
institution so holding and disbursing the insurance proceeds may deduct from any
insurance proceeds deposited with it the amount of its charges for the
performance of its services and any reasonable expenses incurred by it in
connection therewith.

                                       28

          Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in collecting such
insurance proceeds and shall execute and deliver, as requested by Tenant, any
and all proofs, receipts, releases and other instruments as may be appropriate
for such purpose.

          SECTION 12.07.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.  In the event Tenant shall fail or
          -------------   ------------------                                    
refuse to obtain any insurance required by this Article XI, Landlord, in
addition to any other rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in
equity, shall have the right to obtain such insurance.  The cost of such
insurance shall constitute additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord
immediately upon demand.

          -------------   -----------------------------                        
the Term the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other cause,
Tenant shall cause the same to be repaired, replaced or rebuilt within a period
of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable, subject
to Unavoidable Delays. In the repair, replacement or rebuilding of any
Improvements hereunder, Tenant shall repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements
so damaged or destroyed to their condition immediately before such damage or
destruction, subject to all then applicable laws, ordinances, rules or
regulations of any governmental authority affecting the same. If the insurance
proceeds payable in respect of any such damage or destruction, less any cost of
collection and any less amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee, shall be
insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding,
Tenant shall provide for the deficiency. In such event, the time within which
Tenant shall be required to commence and complete its obligations hereunder
shall include a reasonable time to obtain and close the necessary commitments
for equity or mortgage financing to cover the deficiency.

          SECTION 13.02.  NO RENT ABATEMENT.  In no event shall Rent or other
          -------------   -----------------                                  
charges due hereunder abate in the event of such damage or destruction.

          -------------   ------------------                                 
there shall be a total taking or a Constructive Total Taking of the Leased
Premises and Improvements (or any part thereof) in condemnation proceedings or
by any right of eminent domain or by a conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease
shall terminate on the date of such taking and the Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder shall be prorated and paid to the date of such taking.

          -------------   ------------------------------                      
such total taking or Constructive Total Taking and the termination of this
Lease, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Chicago Title Insurance
Company, or such other entity mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant, as
trustee ("TRUSTEE"), but shall be applied by Trustee in the following order of
priority:

          (a)  First, to the Mortgagees in the order of priority of
     such Mortgages to the extent of unpaid principal amounts of such
     Mortgages, but only to the extent such unpaid principal amount
     represents loan proceeds that were used for the constructing and
     equipping of Improvements and all replacements thereof or the
     refinancing thereof, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
     and all costs, expenses and advances pursuant thereto and all
     advances made by such Mortgagee for the benefit of the Leased
     Premises and Improvements and the continued use and operation
     thereof;

          (b)  Second, to the payment of costs and expenses, including
     (without limitation) court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees,
     incurred by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking;

          (c)  Third, to Landlord in an amount equal to the value of
     the Real Estate determined as if unencumbered by this Lease and
     unimproved;

          (d)  Fourth, to Landlord in an amount equal to the then
     present value of the Base Rent and Additional Rent (based upon
     the amount of Additional Rent paid by Tenant for the calendar
     year immediately preceding such total taking or Constructive
     Total Taking) which would have been due and payable to Landlord
     during the Original Term or the applicable Extension Term if such
     total taking or Constructive Total Taking had not occurred; and

          (e)  Any remaining balance shall be paid to Tenant.

Nothing herein contained shall impair the right of Tenant to the full award,
compensation or damages payable as an award for loss of business or for moving
expenses, as long as such award shall not reduce the amount of the award
otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the condemning authority.

          SECTION 14.03.  PARTIAL CONDEMNATION.  In the event of a taking that
          -------------   --------------------                                
is less than a Constructive Total Taking, this Lease shall not terminate or be
affected in any way, except as provided in Section 14.04. The Condemnation
Proceeds in such event shall be paid to the Trustee and applied by the Trustee,
to the extent available (following any required payments to Mortgagees), in the
following order of priority:

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
          (a)  First, to the payment of costs and expenses, including
     (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
     Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking;

          (b)  The balance of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be
     payable in trust to the first Mortgagee or if there is no
     Mortgagee to a banking or similar institution approved by
     Landlord to be disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution for
     payment of the costs of repairing, replacing or rebuilding the
     Improvements in the manner then reasonably feasible as required
     by Section 14.04;

          (c)  The Condemnation Proceeds, if any, remaining after
     repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to Tenant, except
     to the extent of an equitable portion of the Condemnation
     Proceeds allocable by agreement of Landlord and Tenant to
     Landlord on account of any taking of fee title to any portion of
     the Real Estate.

          SECTION 14.04.  RESTORATION.  In the event of a taking that is less
          -------------   -----------                                        
than a Constructive Total Taking, Tenant shall proceed with due diligence,
subject to Unavoidable Delays, to repair, replace or rebuild the remaining
Improvements to their former condition as may be reasonably possible.  If the
Condemnation Proceeds are insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair,
replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency.

          SECTION 14.05.  TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION.  If, at any time during the
          -------------   ----------------------                             
Term, the whole or any part of the Leased Premises or Improvements or Tenant's
interest therein under this Lease shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or
by any right of eminent domain for temporary use or occupancy, the foregoing
provisions of this Article XIV shall not apply, and, except to the extent that
Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the
condemning authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms,
covenants, conditions and obligations hereof to be performed and observed by it,
as though such taking had not occurred. In the event of any such taking of the
character referred to in this Section 14.05, Tenant shall be entitled to receive
the entire amount of the Condemnation Proceeds paid for such taking, whether
paid by way of damages, rent, costs of moving or restoration or otherwise,
unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the
expiration of the Term, in which case the Condemnation Proceeds shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of expiration of the
Term. Upon the expiration of any such period of temporary use or occupancy
during the Term, Tenant shall, at its expense, restore the Improvements as
nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same were
immediately prior to such taking. If such period of temporary use or occupancy
shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Condemnation
Proceeds received by Tenant as compensation for the cost of restoration of the
Improvements shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the date of termination of
this Lease, and Tenant shall be thereby relieved of the obligation to perform
such restoration.

          SECTION 14.06.  RENT ADJUSTMENT.  In the event of a taking of the
          -------------   ---------------                                  
character referred to in Section 14.03, this Lease shall terminate as to the
portion of the Leased Premises so taken. No 

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
such partial taking shall affect the Rent payable hereunder unless (i) the
taking includes or affects leasable or other income producing space, or (ii) the
taking has or will have, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, an adverse effect upon
the operations of the Leased Premises or Improvements. In either of such events,
upon the request of Tenant (and payment to Landlord of the payment, if any,
agreed upon pursuant to Section 14.03), the Base Rent payable for the balance of
the Term of this Lease shall be equitably and proportionately reduced from the
date of such taking. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of such
reduction in Base Rent (or payment out of Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to
Section 14.03), they shall be determined on a consistent basis by an independent
appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of Landlord and Tenant
or, in the absence of agreement on a single appraiser, by an independent
appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of the appraisers
appointed (one each) by Landlord and Tenant. Until the amount of the reduction
in the Base Rent has been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the
Base Rent provided for herein. Upon determination of the reduction in Base Rent,
Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount by which any Base Rent theretofore
paid by Tenant for such period exceeds the amount of the Base Rent for such
period as so reduced against the first installments of Base Rent thereafter
payable under the Lease; provided, however, that if at the time of such
determination the Term has ended or such credit exceeds the amount of all future
installments of Base Rent payable hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an
amount equal to such excess upon demand.

specifically and without limitation, to introduce evidence to establish the
value of or damage to the Real Estate, the Leased Premises and/or the
Improvements (or any part thereof).

     Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to mortgage its entire
     interest under this Lease and in and to the Improvements.

               The execution and delivery of any such Mortgage shall
     not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this
     Lease, nor shall the holder of any such Mortgage be deemed (prior
     to a foreclosure judgment and the taking of possession as
     hereinafter provided) an assignee or transferee of this Lease so
     as to require such holder to assume the performance of any of the
     terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be
     performed hereunder. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord
     of the execution and delivery of a Mortgage meeting the
     requirements of this Section 15.02 and shall furnish it with
     conformed copies thereof.

               (b)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease
     to the contrary, no purchaser or transferee at any foreclosure
     sale or other transfer authorized by law or this Lease shall
     acquire any right, title or interest in or to this Lease, the
     Leased Premises or the Improvements unless (i) said purchaser or
     transferee shall, in the instrument transferring the same or
     immediately after acquiring the same, assume and agree to keep,
     observe and perform all of the terms, covenants and provisions of
     this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and
     performed (including the obligation to cure defaults arising
     prior to such assumption curable by the payment of money or
     otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured) and shall
     therein agree that no further or additional mortgage or
     assignment of this Lease shall be made, except as provided in
     this Article XIV and (ii) a duplicate-original of said assumption
     agreement, duly executed and acknowledged by said purchaser or
     transferee, shall be delivered to Landlord promptly following the
     consummation of such sale or transfer.

          SECTION 15.03.  NOTICES AND RIGHTS ON TENANT'S  DEFAULT.  If Tenant or
          -------------   ---------------------------------------               
a Mortgagee shall provide to Landlord a copy of any such Mortgage, together with
written notice specifying the name and address of the Mortgagee, Landlord agrees
that so long as any such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until
written notice of satisfaction is given by the Mortgagee to Landlord, the
provisions of this Article XV shall apply. Following any such notification
specifying the name and address of a Mortgagee:

          (a)  Landlord shall give such Mortgagee notice of each
     notice given to Tenant under this Lease (such notice to be given
     in the same manner as provided in the following Article XXV for
     notices to a party to this Lease) at such Mortgagee's last
     address for notice provided to Landlord as provided above. No
     such notice to Tenant shall be effective unless notice thereof is
     so given to all such Mortgagee(s). Landlord shall have no
     obligation to give notice to a Mortgagee at any address other
     than such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to
     Landlord.

          (b)  Such Mortgagee(s) shall have the right, until forty-
     five (45) days after the later of (i) expiration of Tenant's
     applicable cure period, or (ii) receipt of its copy of any such
     notice as is given to Tenant, to remedy or cause to be remedied
     the 

                                       33
<PAGE>
 
     Event of Default which is the basis of the notice; and Landlord
     shall accept performance by such Mortgagee as performance by
     Tenant.

          (c)  In case of an Event of Default by Tenant under this
     Lease, other than an Event of Default susceptible of being cured
     solely by the payment of money, Landlord shall take no action to
     effect a termination of this Lease by service of a notice or
     otherwise without first giving to such Mortgagee(s) a reasonable
     time, under prevailing circumstances, within which either: (i) to
     obtain possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements
     (including possession by a receiver) and to cure such Event of
     Default, in the case of an Event of Default that is susceptible
     of being cured when such Mortgagee has obtained possession of the
     Leased Premises and Improvements; or (ii) to institute and
     complete foreclosure proceedings or otherwise acquire Tenant's
     estate under this Lease, in the case of an Event of Default which
     is not so susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee upon
     obtaining possession. The provisions of this clause (c) of this
     Section 15.03 are conditioned on the Mortgagee delivering to
     Landlord, within the forty-five (45) day period specified in
     clause (b) above, an instrument agreeing that it will attempt
     with due diligence to obtain possession of the Leased Premises
     and Improvements, and that upon obtaining possession of the
     Leased Premises and Improvements, whether through foreclosure or
     otherwise, it will cure such Event of Default (other than an
     Event of Default described in Article XVIII).

          (d)  Such Mortgagee shall not be required to continue
     possession or continue foreclosure proceedings under clause (c)
     of this Section if the particular Event of Default has been
     cured.

          (e)  Landlord's right to terminate this Lease by reason of
     any Event of Default described in Article XVIII shall end, with
     respect to such Event of Default, on the date such Mortgagee or
     any purchaser at the foreclosure sale or by assignment in lieu
     thereof shall obtain possession of the Leased Premises as
     successor to Tenant (whether or not under a new lease); provided
     that Landlord has not, prior to such date, validly exercised its
     right to terminate this Lease, and provided that any purchaser or
     transferee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof
     complies with the provisions of Section 15.02(b).

          (f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
     this Lease, if Landlord shall purport to terminate this Lease for
     any reason prior to the last day of the Term, Landlord shall
     enter into a new lease for the Leased Premises with any
     Mortgagee, or its designee, for the remainder of what would have
     been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such purported
     termination, effective as of the date and time of such purported
     termination, at the Rent and upon the same terms, covenants and
     conditions contained herein, and Landlord, simultaneously with
     the execution and delivery of such new lease, shall assign and
     turn over to the tenant named therein the monies and subleases,
     if any, then being held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, 

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
     which Tenant would have been entitled to but for such purported
     termination, and said new tenant shall assume such subleases
     without recourse to Landlord, provided that:

               (i)    such Mortgagee shall make written request for
          such new lease within sixty (60) days after the date of such
          purported termination; and

               (ii)   such Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid to
          Landlord on the commencement date of the term of the new
          lease, all installments of Rent that at such time are or
          would have been due and unpaid through such commencement
          date under this Lease but for such purported termination and
          shall cure all uncured Events of Default of Tenant under
          this Lease that are curable by the payment of money or
          otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured by such
          Mortgagee; and shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on
          that date all expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
          fees, reasonable management fees and court costs and
          disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any
          such default and purported termination as well as in
          connection with the execution and delivery of such new
          lease, less the net income collected by Landlord from the
          date of such purported termination of this Lease to the
          commencement date of such new lease, any excess of such net
          income over the total of said sums and expenses to be
          applied by Landlord to the payment of the Rent thereafter
          becoming due under such new lease.

          In the event two or more Mortgagees each exercise their
     rights hereunder and there is a conflict that renders it
     impossible to comply with all such requests, the Mortgagee whose
     leasehold Mortgage would be senior in priority if there were a
     foreclosure shall prevail. If all of the foregoing conditions
     shall be satisfied, the purported termination shall be deemed
     ineffective and void ab initio, so that the new lease shall be
                          -- ------  
     deemed to be a continuation of this Lease for all purposes under
     applicable law. If such conditions shall not be met, the Lease
     shall be deemed to have terminated upon the expiration of the
     sixty (60) day period provided for in the foregoing clause (i) of
     this paragraph (f).

          (g)  In the event any Mortgagee pays any Rent or other sums
     due hereunder which relate to periods other than during its
     actual ownership of the leasehold estate, such Mortgagee shall be
     subrogated to any and all rights which Tenant may assert against
     Landlord with respect to such period for which such Rent or other
     sums were paid.

          (h)  No surrender or cancellation of this Lease (other than
     a termination by Landlord in compliance with the conditions of
     this Article XV) shall be effective without written approval of
     the Mortgagee(s); nor shall the acquisition of both the fee and
     leasehold estates in the Leased Premises in one entity be deemed
     to effect a merger thereof without the express written consent of
     the owner/lessee and all Mortgagees at the time said fee and
     leasehold estates are so acquired by one entity.

require any Mortgagee to cure or undertake to cure any default of Tenant, unless
and until such Mortgagee elects to exercise any right under Section 15.03 as to
which such cure or undertaking to cure is a condition.

          -------------   ---------------------                        
obtaining a Mortgage from a prospective  Mortgagee, such Mortgagee shall request
reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to the making of such
Mortgage Loan, Landlord will execute an agreement in recordable form so
modifying this Lease, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect
Landlord hereunder.

Mortgagee who shall fail to give Landlord written notice of its identity and
address.

written notice of any material default by Tenant as to which Tenant receives
notice pursuant to any Mortgage; and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to
obtain the agreement of any Mortgagee to accept any cure tendered by Landlord
(without obligation of Landlord to undertake any such cure) of any such material
Mortgage default.

action, the requesting party shall be entitled to specific performance,
declaratory relief, or such other remedies at law or equity which may be

purpose of (a) inspecting the same, (b) showing the same to prospective
purchaser's of Landlord's title to the Leased Premises or to prospective
tenant's of the Leased Premises, or (c) performing any work in the Leased
Premises that may be necessary by reason of Tenant's failure to perform any such
work or to commence the same within ten (10) days after written notice from
Landlord (or without notice in case of emergency). Nothing herein shall imply
any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work, and performance thereof by
Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform
the same. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance,
disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant or any subtenant or
licensee of Tenant by reason of performing any such work, and the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

          -------------   -----------------                                   
not remedied as hereinafter provided, shall be deemed an "Event of Default":

          (a)  The occurrence of any event set forth in Article XX, as therein
provided;

          (b)  Tenant's failure to pay any installment of Rent within thirty
(30) days of the due date thereof;

          (c)  Tenant's failure to perform any other covenant or agreement
herein contained on Tenant's part to be kept or performed and the continuance of
such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after notice in writing to Tenant
from Landlord specifying the nature of such failure;

          (d)  Tenant obtains a License for Switzerland County, Indiana and such
License shall be cancelled, terminated or revoked or shall have expired and not
be renewed, and Tenant shall not have assigned this Lease with the consent of
Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, to any other person or entity that holds a License for Switzerland
County, Indiana within one (1) year after the date of such cancellation,
termination, revocation or expiration; or

to Tenant a written notice of its election to end the Term of this Lease upon a
date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than forty-five (45)
days after the date of delivery to Tenant of such notice by Landlord.
Simultaneously with the sending of any notice of default or termination to
Tenant, Landlord shall send a copy of such notice to Mortgagees, as required by
Section 15.03.


          SECTION 18.02.  EXTENSIONS.  If Landlord gives notice at any time of a
          -------------   ----------                                            
default of a nature that cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period
provided in Section 18.01(c), then such default shall not be deemed an Event of
Default so long as Tenant, following notice from Landlord, proceeds to cure the
default as soon as reasonably possible and continues to take all reasonable
steps necessary to complete the same within a period of time which, under all
prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable.  In addition, no Event of Default
shall be deemed to have occurred if and so long as Tenant shall be delayed in or
prevented from curing the same within the applicable cure period by Unavoidable
Delay.

          SECTION 18.03.  REMEDIES.  Upon any Event of Default pursuant to

Section 18.01, or at any time thereafter so long as the same is not cured,
Landlord may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and
remedies Landlord shall have under this Lease or at law or in equity, (a) cure
any such Event of Default and collect the cost thereof from Tenant upon demand
or (b) reenter the Leased Premises and Improvements and recover possession
thereof (subject in each case to the rights of Mortgagees provided in Article
XV) in the manner prescribed by law, or (c) terminate this Lease.  In case of
any such reentry and recovery of possession, Landlord may, subject to Article
XV:

          (i)  collect all rents, proceeds and profits of the Leased
     Premises and Improvements and operate the same for its own
     account, and relet the Leased Premises and Improvements or any
     part thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a
     term or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be less than or
     exceed the then remaining Term of this Lease; and/or

          (ii) terminate this Lease.

During any period of possession hereunder, Landlord, at Landlord's option, may
complete such construction, alterations, repairs, and/or replacements of in the
Leased Premises and Improvements as Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
considers advisable and necessary; and the making of such alterations, repairs
and/or replacements shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from
liability hereunder.

          (e)  Any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any
     of Tenant's property, whereby the Leased Premises or Improvements shall be

whatever by Landlord for the Improvements.  For purposes of this Article XXII
leasehold improvements shall include (without limitation) floor coverings
(excluding area rugs), wall coverings, ceilings, lighting systems and fixtures,
plumbing fixtures and other mechanical systems, equipment and facilities and
built-in installations.  Leasehold improvements do not include trade fixtures,

          SECTION 22.02.  DEMOLITION OF IMPROVEMENTS.  Notwithstanding the
          -------------   --------------------------                      
provisions of Sections 22.01 or 22.03, Landlord shall have the right to require

Leased Premises following such demolition and removal within a reasonable time
after the expiration of the Term. Before commencing any demolition or removal,
Tenant shall furnish to Landlord surety bonds insuring completion of the
demolition and removal as required by this Section. In the event that Tenant
shall fail fully and properly to complete such demolition and removal within a
reasonable time after the expiration of the Term, Landlord shall be entitled to
complete the same, and the costs thereof incurred by Landlord shall be payable
by Tenant to Landlord as additional Rent; provided, however, that if such
demolition and removal cannot be completed by Tenant within a reasonable time
after the expiration of the Term because of Unavoidable Delay, the Term shall be
extended by a period of time commensurate with such Unavoidable Delay so as to
permit Tenant an opportunity to complete its demolition and removal.

          SECTION 22.03.  REMOVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS.  Notwithstanding the
          -------------   -----------------------

          -------------   -----------------------------

Tenant has surrendered possession of the Leased Premises shall be deemed to have
been abandoned by Tenant, and at the option of Landlord, such property: (a)
shall be retained by Landlord as its property; (b) shall be disposed of by
Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine, without accountability to
any person; or (c) shall be promptly removed by Tenant, at Tenant's expense,
upon written request from Landlord.  Landlord shall not be responsible for any
loss or damage occurring to any property owned by Tenant or any licensee or
sublessee of Tenant.

          SECTION 22.05.  GRANT OF RECIPROCAL EASEMENTS.  In the event that, at
          -------------   -----------------------------                        
the time of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant or an
Affiliate of Tenant owns real estate adjacent to the Real Estate on which are
constructed driveways or walkways providing access to any Improvements or any
other facilities essential to the reasonable, economic use of the Improvements,
Tenant shall grant or cause its Affiliate to grant Landlord such easements
appurtenant to the Real Estate as Landlord shall reasonably request providing
for the continued use of such driveways, walkways and/or facilities in
connection with the Improvements in the manner the same were used prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term.  Such easements may require
Landlord to contribute to the cost of maintenance and repair of such driveways,
walkways and/or facilities upon terms reasonable and appropriate under the
prevailing circumstances.

          SECTION 22.06.  SURVIVAL OF TERMS.  The terms of this Article XXII

          Failure of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any act or omission on
the part of the other party, however long the same may continue, shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by said party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by
Landlord or Tenant at any time, express or implied, of any breach of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other
provision of this Lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any
other provision. No acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment shall
constitute an accord or satisfaction, and such partial payment shall only be
deemed a part payment on account.

Article VI above, Landlord may transfer or assign its interest in this Lease and
title to the Leased Premises to any person or entity without the requirement of
any consent by Tenant.  In the event of the transfer or assignment of Landlord's
interest in this Lease and title to the Leased Premises and the assumption by
such transferee or assignee of all duties and obligations for the performance or
observance of any covenants or agreements to be performed or observed by
Landlord hereunder, only the transferee or assignee shall be responsible for the
performance or observance of such covenants or agreements thereafter under this
Lease.  It is the intent of this Section 24.01 that the provisions of this Lease
shall be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in
respect of their respective periods of ownership.

          SECTION 24.02. LIMITATION ON RIGHT OF RECOVERY AGAINST LANDLORD.
          -------------- ------------------------------------------------- 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, there shall be
absolutely no personal liability on Landlord, or any successor or assign of
Landlord, with respect to the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease, and
Tenant shall look solely to the interest of the Landlord, its successors and
assigns, in the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of
Tenant in the event of any breach by Landlord (or by such successor or assign)
of any of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Landlord hereunder, such exculpation of personal liability to be
absolute and without any exception whatsoever.

warrant to the other, respectively, that (a) such party has the power and
authority to execute and deliver this Lease and to observe and perform the
respective covenants to be observed by them hereunder, (b) that the undersigned
person executing this Lease on such party's behalf has been fully empowered and
duly authorized by all necessary action of such party to execute and deliver
this Lease for and on behalf of such party, and (c) this Lease is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such party.

          SECTION 29.11  REQUIRED LANDLORD LICENSES.  Landlord acknowledges that
          -------------  --------------------------
the Indiana Gaming Commission may, as part of the process for determining
whether to issue a Certificate or License to Tenant or to otherwise act on
Tenant's application for a License make findings or adopt a resolution
establishing or requiring the completion of conditions concerning or affecting
the Leased Premises or ownership thereof. Accordingly, Landlord agrees to use
best efforts to timely complete and submit to the Indiana Gaming Commission or
its delegate any required disclosure forms or waivers of confidentiality
restrictions which the Indiana Gaming Commission may require Landlord to submit
under applicable laws to enable the Indiana Gaming Commission to complete its
review of the Tenant's application. In the event the Indiana Gaming Commission
conditions the issuance of a License to Tenant on Landlord's divestment of the
Leased Premises and the Indiana Gaming Commission is able to require such
divesture under applicable laws as a condition to issuing a License to Tenant,
Landlord shall, within a reasonable time, transfer the Leased Premises to a
transferee selected by Landlord and acceptable to the Indiana Gaming Commission
subject to the terms of this Lease.

Substances to be disposed of or released upon the Leased Premises. To the extent
any Hazardous Substances permitted to be placed, held, or located on or at the
Leased Premises are regulated by any Environmental Laws, Tenant shall place,
hold, locate or dispose of such Hazardous Substances in strict compliance with
such applicable law.


               (c) If Tenant has knowledge of or receives any notice of (i) the
release, spill, discharge or emission of any Hazardous Substance from the Leased

pertaining to the Leased Premises or Improvements or any activity thereon by
Tenant or anyone else (other than Landlord) during the Term, (iii) any
Environmental Complaint, whether meritorious or not, arising from any act or
omission of Tenant or anyone else (other than Landlord) during the Term or (iv)
any Hazardous Discharge occurring during the Term. Tenant's indemnification
obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and
liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord at law or in equity, including, without
limitation, the obligation Tenant has to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
under that certain Option to Lease Agreement between Tenant and Landlord
pursuant to which this Lease is executed. Tenant's indemnification obligations
hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and
any transfer by Landlord of title to the Leased Premises.

               (e) Tenant, for itself and, to the extent permitted by law, for
and on behalf of its successors, assigns, licensees and subtenants, hereby
waives and releases any and all causes of action, claims or demands of
whatsoever kind or nature that Tenant or its successors, assigns, licensees or

          During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of first
refusal concerning the purchase of the Leased Premises on the terms hereinafter

Landlord shall desire to accept, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant a
copy of such offer, and Tenant may, within sixty (60) business days thereafter,
elect to purchase the Leased Premises on the same terms as those set forth in
such offer.  If Tenant shall not accept such offer within the time specified
therefor and the Landlord shall close upon the sale of the Leased Premises
pursuant to the terms of such third party offer, the right of refusal shall
cease to exist, but this Lease shall continue otherwise on all of the other
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  This right of first refusal
shall be inapplicable to a transfer by way of sale, gift or devise, including a
trust, to or for a party related to Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord, or to
any transfer from one such related or affiliated party to another, but shall
apply to any such transfer to a unrelated or non affiliated third party.  If the
Leased Premises shall be conveyed to the Tenant under this right of first
refusal, any prepaid Rent shall be apportioned and applied on account of the
purchase price.

          SECTION 8.01.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASES.  Except as hereafter
          ------------   ------------------------                      
expressly provided in this Section 8.01 or in Section 15.02, Tenant shall not
assign, sell or transfer this Lease or title to the Improvements or any interest
therein or sublease or lease all or any part of the Leased Premises and/or
Improvements without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as Tenant remains
fully liable for the obligations under the terms of the Lease.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign, sell or transfer this
Lease or title to the Improvements or any interest therein to: (i) any entity
whose share of stock are publicly traded on a national stock exchange, or (ii)
any entity having a net worth of not less than One Hundred Million Dollars
($100,000,000).  In no event shall Tenant assign or transfer this Lease or title
to the Improvements to any person or entity that does not hold a riverboat
owner's license for Switzerland County, Indiana.  Any assignment or transfer by
operation of law (voluntary or involuntary), merger, conversion or
reorganization, any assignment or transfer to a receiver or trustee in any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding shall constitute an
assignment or transfer for purposes of this Lease.  Any change in control of
Tenant or of any entity controlling shall not constitute an assignment or
transfer for purposes of this Lease.  For purposes of this Section 8.01,
"control" means the power to direct the management and policies of Tenant,
directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership or control of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the shares or other equity or beneficial interest or
power to vote the same, or by the partnership or trust agreement or other
instrument or contract or otherwise; and

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
 
the term "controlling" has the meaning correlative to the foregoing. The
foregoing restrictions of this Section 7.01 shall not apply to an assignment or
transfer by reason of foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure to any
Mortgagee or to an assignment or transfer by reason of condemnation or deed in
lieu of condemnation to any condemning authority. In addition, Tenant shall be
entitled to sublease retail space in the Improvement in the ordinary course of
business without the requirement of any consent of Landlord.

          SECTION 8.02.  ENCUMBRANCES.  Except for Mortgages meeting the
          ------------   ------------                                   
requirements of Section 15.02, Tenant shall have no right to mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or the Leased Premises and/or
Improvements, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion.

          SECTION 8.03.  GENERAL.  The consent by Landlord under the foregoing
          ------------   -------                                              
Sections 8.01 or 8.02 to any assignment, sale, transfer, letting or encumbrance
shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement of consent to any subsequent
assignment, sale, transfer or letting or encumbrance.  No assignment or transfer
by Tenant permitted hereby shall operate as a release of Tenant from its
obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall remain jointly and severally liable with
such assignee or transferee for the continuing obligations of the Tenant

                          TAXES AND UTILITY EXPENSES
                          --------------------------

          SECTION 9.01.  PAYMENT OF TAXES AND UTILITY EXPENSES.  Tenant shall
          ------------   -------------------------------------               
pay and discharge punctually, as and when the same shall become due and payable
(except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02):

          (a)  all Taxes which are assessed with respect to the Leased Premises
and the Improvements, or any part thereof, or any appurtenances or equipment
thereon owned by or leased to Tenant for any calendar year (or part thereof)
within the Term, together with all interest and penalties thereon.  Real Estate
Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term commences and ends shall
be prorated and paid as provided in Section 9.02; and

          (b)  all Utility Expenses commencing with the Commencement Date.

          Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with the covenants of this
Section 8.01 if payment of Taxes and Utility Expenses shall have been made
either within any period allowed by applicable law before the same shall become
a lien upon the Leased Premises or Improvements; or, if the Tax or Utility
Expense constitutes a lien before it is due and payable, then, before any
penalty

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
 
or interest is assessed with respect thereto.  Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with satisfactory evidence of payment of Real Estate Taxes and any
other payment hereunder if requested to do so by Landlord in writing.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.01 to the contrary, in the
event the Leased Premises and Improvements (or any part thereof) are assessed
for Real Estate Tax purposes as part of a larger parcel that is owned by
Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before ten (10) days prior to the
date the Real Estate Taxes with respect to such larger parcel are due and
payable by Landlord (i) Tenant's proportionate share (determined on the basis of
acreage) of the Real Estate Taxes assessed for land with respect to such larger
parcel for land and (ii) the Real Estate Taxes assessed with respect to the
Improvements; and Landlord shall, following receipt of such payment from Tenant,
pay the Real Estate Taxes for such larger parcel.

          SECTION 9.02.  PRORATION OF REAL ESTATE TAXES.  Real Estate Taxes
          ------------   ------------------------------                    
assessed for the calendar years in which the Term commences and ends shall be
prorated based upon the number of days within each such calendar year as shall
fall within the Term.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord's pro rata
share of the Real Estate Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term
commences promptly upon receipt by Landlord of satisfactory evidence of the
payment of such Real Estate Taxes by Tenant.  Tenant shall pay on the date of
termination of this Lease all Real Estate Taxes due and payable during the
calendar year in which the Term ends and Tenant's pro rata share of Real Estate
Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term ends.  If the amount of
such Real Estate Taxes is not then determined, the most recently available tax
rates and assessed valuations shall be used in determining the amount to be paid
under this Section 9.02.

          SECTION 9.03.  RIGHT TO CONTEST.  Tenant shall have the right to
          ------------   ----------------                                 
contest all Taxes and Utility Expenses referred to in Section 9.01 by
appropriate legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it may deem
appropriate.  Such legal proceedings shall include any and all appropriate
appeals or other proceedings and appeals from orders, judgments or decrees so
long as the same are sufficient to prevent a foreclosure sale.  Tenant shall
conduct all such proceedings at its expense.  Landlord, in its capacity as the
fee simple owner of the Real Estate, shall execute all documents reasonably
required for such proceedings.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall pay any such Taxes or Utility Expenses prior to the time
the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof) shall become subject
to sale upon foreclosure of the lien therefor.

          SECTION 9.04.  DISTRIBUTION OF OVERPAYMENT.  If there shall be any
          ------------   ---------------------------                        
refunds or rebates on account of Taxes or Utility Expenses paid by Tenant under
the provisions of this Lease, such refund or rebate shall belong to Tenant,
whether or not received by Landlord during the Term; provided, however, that in
the event of a refund or rebate resulting from the contest of Real Estate Taxes,
Landlord shall be entitled to its proportionate share of such refund or rebate
if the Real Estate Taxes were assessed on a larger parcel owned by Landlord of
which the Leased Premises and/or Improvements are a part. Any refunds so
received by Landlord shall be deemed to be received by Landlord in trust for
Tenant and shall be paid to Tenant forthwith. Landlord will, upon request of

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
 
Tenant, sign any receipts which may be necessary to secure the payment of any
such refund or rebate.

          SECTION 9.05.  SEPARATE ASSESSMENTS.  If the Leased Premises is part
          ------------   --------------------                                 
of a larger parcel that is owned by Landlord, Landlord shall make such
application as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain separate tax
assessments for the Leased Premises and Improvements.  Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

          Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at its expense, keep and
maintain or cause to be kept and maintained the Leased Premises and Improvements
in a first class, clean and safe condition and repair and in compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all applicable orders and requirements of governmental

structural repairs and replacements.  Landlord shall not be required to furnish
any services or facilities or to make any improvements, repairs or alterations
in or to the Leased Premises or the Improvements during the Term.

filing thereof discharge of record, at Tenant's expense, any mechanics',
materialmen's or other lien, or notice of intention to file any such lien, filed
against the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof or interest
therein; provided that Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity of
any such lien in any manner permitted by law so long as Tenant (a) shall provide
to Landlord, title insurance, an indemnity, bond or other assurance or security
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (b) shall thereafter diligently proceed
to cause such lien or notice of intention to file a lien to be removed and
discharged.  If Tenant shall fail to so discharge, or to seek to discharge, any
such lien or notice of intention to file a lien, then Landlord may, but shall
not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to
be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in court a bond
for the amount claimed or in such other manner as is or may be permitted by law,
and Tenant shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord in respect thereto.

          SECTION 11.02.  INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT.  Subject to the provisions
          -------------   -------------------------                            
of Section 12.05 and regardless of whether or not caused or alleged to be caused
by the several, joint, concurrent or comparative negligence, but not sole
negligence, of Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify
and save harmless Landlord against and from any and all liability,

                                      -32-

damages, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, court costs and attorneys' fees) arising out of, resulting from or
in any way connected with: (a) Tenant's possession, use or control of the Leased
Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term, (b) any condition
of the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term, (c)
any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant
or agreement to be observed or performed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this
Lease, (d) any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant, or any of its
agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or its or their employees, customers
or invitees, or (e) any accident, injury to or death of persons or damage to
property whatsoever in or about the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part
thereof during the Term. In case any claim, action or proceeding covered by the
preceding indemnification provisions shall be brought against Landlord, Tenant,
upon written notice from Landlord, shall defend such action or proceeding with
counsel acceptable to Landlord.

          Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be in addition to
any and all other obligations Tenant may have to Landlord at law or in equity
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and any
transfer by Landlord of title to the Leased Premises.

                                   INSURANCE
                                   ---------

          SECTION 12.01.  LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Tenant shall maintain and keep
          -------------   -------------------                                 
in force at all times during the Term, with an insurance company or companies
licensed to do business in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to
Landlord (a) comprehensive general public liability insurance covering any and
all claims for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property occurring
in or upon the Leased Premises and Improvements and having initial minimum
levels of combined coverage for bodily injury (including death resulting
therefrom) and property damage, including umbrella coverage, of not less than
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), for each occurrence and on an annual
aggregate basis and (b) workmen's compensation and employer's liability
insurance in such amounts as shall be required by law from time to time, but in
no event less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per accident.
Tenant's comprehensive general public liability insurance shall have extensions
of coverage to include blanket contractual liability for written and oral
contracts (including Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder), broad form
property damage and premises operations (including explosion, collapse and
underground coverage).  In addition, Tenant shall maintain or cause its
contractor(s) or construction manager to maintain products and completed
operations coverage through the period ending two (2) years after completion of
construction of the Improvements.  Each policy referred to in this Section 11.01
shall name Landlord as an additional insured, as well as Tenant's contractor(s)
and/or construction manager during the period of construction of any
Improvements and during any period in which construction, alteration or
substantial repair work is being performed on or to the Leased Premises or
Improvements (or any part thereof).  Such liability insurance may be provided by
a single policy or combination of underlying policies, with the balance provided
by an excess or umbrella liability policy; provided such excess or umbrella
insurance complies with all other requirements of this Lease with respect to
such insurance.

          SECTION 12.02.  PROPERTY INSURANCE.  During the Term, Tenant shall
          -------------   ------------------                                
keep the Improvements insured with an insurance company licensed to do business
in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to Landlord for the benefit of
Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or
damage by fire or other casualty (including earthquake, to the extent customary
and available at reasonable costs) covered by a customary extended coverage
endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement
cost thereof and providing for and having a deductible in an amount not
exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  In addition during the
period of construction of the Improvements (or during any period in which
construction, alteration or substantial repair work is being performed on or to
the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof), Tenant shall maintain
in force builder's all risk coverage, with fire and extended coverages.  Such
builder's all risk coverage may be written as an endorsement to the casualty
insurance required by the first sentence of this Section 11.02 and shall protect
the interests of Landlord and Tenant's construction manager and/or contractors
and subcontractors as their respective interests may appear.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall at all times maintain such insurance in an amount
sufficient to meet all co-insurance requirements

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
under such insurance policy. Landlord shall not carry any insurance concurrent
in coverage and contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required to
be furnished by Tenant hereunder, if the effect of such separate insurance would
be to reduce the protection or the payment to be made under Tenant's insurance.

          SECTION 12.03.  PROOF OF INSURANCE.  Tenant shall deliver copies of
          -------------   ------------------                                 
the insurance policies showing the coverages required by this Article XI to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date but in all events
prior to the commencement of any excavation or filling of the Real Estate or the
construction of any Improvements, and thereafter a copy of each replacement
policy shall be provided not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the policy being replaced.  Each such policy referred to in this Article XII
shall contain a provision providing that the policy shall not be canceled, not
renewed or materially amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord.

          SECTION 12.04.  ADJUSTMENT IN INSURANCE.  If by reason of changed
          -------------   -----------------------                          
conditions or by reason of experience Landlord reasonably determines that the
insurance amounts referred to in the foregoing Section 12.01 are inadequate,
Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, increase the amounts of such insurance
carried to the extent appropriate for a like facility under like circumstances.
In the event that it shall become customary for lessees of similar premises to
maintain types or coverages of insurance other than those required to be
maintained by Tenant under this Article XII, Tenant shall maintain such other
types of coverages of insurance upon the written request of Landlord so long as
such types or coverages of insurance can be obtained by Tenant at reasonable
cost.

          SECTION 12.05.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Tenant and Landlord waive all
          -------------   ---------------------                                
rights against each other and against those for whom the other is legally liable
for all losses covered by insurance provided under this Article XI to the extent
the limits of such insurance are adequate to cover such losses, it being the
intent of this provision to allocate all risk of such loss to such insurance;
provided, however, that this waiver shall not be effective if it would preclude
- --------  -------                                                              
or prejudice the right of Landlord or Tenant to recover under such insurance
policy.  If the policies of insurance provided for under this Article XI require
an endorsement to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of
subrogation, Tenant shall cause such policies to be so endorsed.

          SECTION 12.06.  INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of all policies of
                          ------------------                                  
insurance on the Improvements maintained pursuant to Section 11.02 remaining
after any required payment to any Mortgagee shall be used as a trust fund toward
the repair, replacement or rebuilding of the Improvements.  Accordingly, all
insurance proceeds paid to Tenant and/or Landlord under such policies shall be
deemed to be received and held by such party in trust for the payment of the
costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements.  All such
insurance proceeds so received shall be deposited by such party with the first
Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee with a banking or similar institution
approved by Landlord, to be held and disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution
for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the
Improvements in the manner and upon the conditions customarily applicable to
construction loans.  If the insurance

                                       35
<PAGE>
 
proceeds shall exceed the cost of repairing, replacing or rebuilding the
Improvements, the balance remaining after payment of such costs shall be the
property of and shall be paid to Tenant. The institution so holding and
disbursing the insurance proceeds may deduct from any insurance proceeds
deposited with it the amount of its charges for the performance of its services
and any reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection therewith.

          Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in collecting such
insurance proceeds and shall execute and deliver, as requested by Tenant, any
and all proofs, receipts, releases and other instruments as may be appropriate
for such purpose.

          SECTION 12.07.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.  In the event Tenant shall fail or
          -------------   ------------------                                    
refuse to obtain any insurance required by this Article XI, Landlord, in
addition to any other rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in
equity, shall have the right to obtain such insurance.  The cost of such
insurance shall constitute additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord
immediately upon demand.

the Term the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other cause,
Tenant shall cause the same to be repaired, replaced or rebuilt within a period
of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable, subject
to Unavoidable Delays.  In the repair, replacement or rebuilding of any
Improvements hereunder, Tenant shall repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements
so damaged or destroyed to their condition immediately before such damage or
destruction, subject to all then applicable laws, ordinances, rules or
regulations of any governmental authority affecting the same.  If the insurance
proceeds payable in respect of any such damage or destruction, less any cost of
collection and any less amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee, shall be
insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding,
Tenant shall provide for the deficiency.  In such event, the time within which
Tenant shall be required to commence and complete its obligations hereunder
shall include a reasonable time to obtain and close the necessary commitments
for equity or mortgage financing to cover the deficiency.

charges due hereunder abate in the event of such damage or destruction.

there shall be a total taking or a Constructive Total Taking of the Leased
Premises and Improvements (or any part thereof) in condemnation proceedings or

shall terminate on the date of such taking and the Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder shall be prorated and paid to the date of such taking.

          SECTION 14.02.  PROCEEDS OF TOTAL CONDEMNATION.  In the event of any
          -------------   ------------------------------                      
such total taking or Constructive Total Taking and the termination of this
Lease, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Chicago Title Insurance
Company, or such other entity mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant, as
trustee (the "TRUSTEE"), but shall be applied by Trustee in the following order
of priority:

          (a) First, to the Mortgagees in the order of priority of such
     Mortgages to the extent of unpaid principal amounts of such Mortgages, but
     only to the extent such unpaid principal amount represents loan proceeds
     that were used for the constructing and equipping of Improvements and all
     replacements thereof or the refinancing thereof, and all accrued and unpaid
     interest thereon and all costs, expenses and advances pursuant thereto and
     all advances made by such Mortgagee for the benefit of the Leased Premises
     and Improvements and the continued use and operation thereof;

          (b) Second, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without
     limitation) court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
     Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking;

          (c) Third, to Landlord in an amount equal to the value of the Real
     Estate determined as if unencumbered by this Lease and unimproved;

          (d) Fourth, to Landlord in an amount equal to the then present value
     of the Base Rent which would have been due and payable to Landlord during
     the Original Term or the applicable Extension Term if such total taking or
     Constructive Total Taking had not occurred; and

          (e) Any remaining balance shall be paid to Tenant.

Nothing herein contained shall impair the right of Tenant to the full award,
compensation or damages payable as an award for loss of business or for moving
expenses, as long as such award shall not reduce the amount of the award
otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the condemning authority.

          SECTION 14.03.  PARTIAL CONDEMNATION.  In the event of a taking that
          -------------   --------------------                                
is less than a Constructive Total Taking, this Lease shall not terminate or be
affected in any way, except as provided in Section 14.04.  The Condemnation
Proceeds in such event shall be paid to Trustee and applied by the Trustee, to
the extent available (following any required payments to Mortgagees), in the
following order of priority:

          (a) First, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without
     limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord and Tenant in
     connection with such taking;

          (b) The balance of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable in trust
     to the first Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee to a banking or similar
     institution approved by Landlord to be disbursed by such Mortgagee or
     institution for payment of the costs of repairing, replacing or rebuilding
     the Improvements in the manner then reasonably feasible as required by
     Section 14.04;

          (c) The Condemnation Proceeds, if any, remaining after repair,
     replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to Tenant, except to the extent of
     an equitable portion of the Condemnation Proceeds allocable by agreement of
     Landlord and Tenant to Landlord on account of any taking of fee title to
     any portion of the Real Estate.

          SECTION 14.04.  RESTORATION.  In the event of a taking that is less
          -------------   -----------                                        
than a Constructive Total Taking, Tenant shall proceed with due diligence,
subject to Unavoidable Delays, to repair, replace or rebuild the remaining
Improvements to their former condition as may be reasonably possible.  If the
Condemnation Proceeds are insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair,
replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency.

          SECTION 14.05.  TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION.  If, at any time during the
          -------------   ----------------------                             
Term, the whole or any part of the Leased Premises or Improvements or Tenant's
interest therein under this Lease shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or
by any right of eminent domain for temporary use or occupancy, the foregoing
provisions of this Article XIV shall not apply, and, except to the extent that
Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the
condemning authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms,
covenants, conditions and obligations hereof to be performed and observed by it,
as though such taking had not occurred.  In the event of any such taking of the
character referred to in this Section 14.05, Tenant shall be entitled to receive
the entire amount of the Condemnation Proceeds paid for such taking, whether
paid by way of damages, rent, costs of moving or restoration  or otherwise,
unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the
expiration of the Term, in which case the Condemnation Proceeds shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of expiration of the
Term.  Upon the expiration of any such period of temporary use or occupancy
during the Term, Tenant shall, at its expense, restore the Improvements as
nearly as may be

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
reasonably possible to the condition in which the same were immediately prior to
such taking. If such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond
the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Condemnation Proceeds received by
Tenant as compensation for the cost of restoration of the Improvements shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord on the date of termination of this Lease, and Tenant
shall be thereby relieved of the obligation to perform such restoration.

          SECTION 14.06.  RENT ADJUSTMENT.  In the event of a taking of the
          -------------   ---------------                                  
character referred to in Section 14.03, this Lease shall terminate as to the
portion of the Leased Premises so taken.  No such partial taking shall affect
the Rent payable hereunder unless (i) the taking includes or affects leasable or
other income producing space, or (ii) the taking has or will have, in Tenant's
reasonable judgment, an adverse effect upon the operations of the Leased
Premises or Improvements.  In either of such events, upon the request of Tenant
(and payment to Landlord of the payment, if any, agreed upon pursuant to Section
14.03), the Base Rent payable for the balance of the Term of this Lease shall be
equitably and proportionately reduced from the date of such taking.  If Landlord
and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of such reduction in Base Rent (or
payment out of Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to Section 14.03), they shall be
determined on a consistent basis by an independent appraiser with M.A.I.
credentials selected by agreement of Landlord and Tenant or, in the absence of
agreement on a single appraiser, by an independent appraiser with M.A.I.
credentials selected by agreement of the appraisers appointed (one each) by
Landlord and Tenant.  Until the amount of the reduction in the Base Rent has
been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the Base Rent provided
for herein.  Upon determination of the reduction in Base Rent, Tenant shall be
entitled to credit the amount by which any Base Rent theretofore paid by Tenant
for such period exceeds the amount of the Base Rent for such period as so
reduced against the first installments of Base Rent thereafter payable under the
Lease; provided, however, that if at the time of such determination the Term has
ended or such credit exceeds the amount of all future installments of Base Rent
payable hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to such excess
upon demand.

specifically and without limitation, to introduce evidence to establish the
value of or damage to the Real Estate, the Leased Premises and/or the
Improvements (or any part thereof).

          SECTION 15.02.  LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES.
          -------------   ------------------- 

               (a) Without the requirement of any consent of Landlord, Tenant
     shall have the right to mortgage its entire interest under this Lease and
     in and to the Improvements.

               The execution and delivery of any such Mortgage shall not be
     deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease, nor shall the
     holder of any such Mortgage be deemed (prior to a foreclosure judgment and
     the taking of possession as hereinafter provided) an assignee or transferee
     of this Lease so as to require such holder to assume the performance of any
     of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed
     hereunder. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the execution and
     delivery of a Mortgage meeting the requirements of this Section 15.02 and
     shall furnish it with conformed copies thereof.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
     contrary, no purchaser or transferee at any foreclosure sale or other
     transfer authorized by law or this Lease shall acquire any right, title or
     interest in or to this Lease, the Leased Premises or the Improvements
     unless (i) said purchaser or transferee shall, in the instrument
     transferring the same or immediately after acquiring the same, assume and
     agree to keep, observe and perform all of the terms, covenants and
     provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and
     performed (including the obligation to cure defaults arising prior to such
     assumption curable by the payment of money or otherwise reasonably
     susceptible of being cured) and shall therein agree that no further or
     additional mortgage or assignment of this Lease shall be made, except as
     provided in this Article XIV and (ii) a duplicate-original of said
     assumption agreement, duly executed and acknowledged by said purchaser or
     transferee, shall be delivered to Landlord promptly following the
     consummation of such sale or transfer.

          SECTION 15.03.  NOTICES AND RIGHTS ON TENANT'S  DEFAULT.  If Tenant or
          -------------   ---------------------------------------               
a Mortgagee shall provide to Landlord a copy of any such Mortgage, together with
written notice specifying the name and address of the Mortgagee, Landlord agrees
that so long as any such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until
written notice of satisfaction is given by the Mortgagee to Landlord, the
provisions of this Article XV shall apply.  Following any such notification
specifying the name and address of a Mortgagee:

          (a) Landlord shall give such Mortgagee notice of each notice given to
     Tenant under this Lease (such notice to be given in the same manner as
     provided in the following Article XXV for notices to a party to this Lease)
     at such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to Landlord as
     provided above. No such notice to Tenant shall be effective unless notice
     thereof is so given to all such Mortgagee(s).

                                       40
<PAGE>
 
     Landlord shall have no obligation to give notice to a Mortgagee at any
     address other than such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to
     Landlord.

          (b) Such Mortgagee(s) shall have the right, until forty-five (45) days
     after the later of (i) expiration of Tenant's applicable cure period, or
     (ii) receipt of its copy of any such notice as is given to Tenant, to
     remedy or cause to be remedied the Event of Default which is the basis of
     the notice; and Landlord shall accept performance by such Mortgagee as
     performance by Tenant.

          (c) In case of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, other
     than an Event of Default susceptible of being cured solely by the payment
     of money, Landlord shall take no action to effect a termination of this
     Lease by service of a notice or otherwise without first giving to such
     Mortgagee(s) a reasonable time, under prevailing circumstances, within
     which either: (i) to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and
     Improvements (including possession by a receiver) and to cure such Event of
     Default, in the case of an Event of Default that is susceptible of being
     cured when such Mortgagee has obtained possession of the Leased Premises
     and Improvements; or (ii) to institute and complete foreclosure proceedings
     or otherwise acquire Tenant's estate under this Lease, in the case of an
     Event of Default which is not so susceptible of being cured by such
     Mortgagee upon obtaining possession. The provisions of this clause (c) of
     this Section 15.03 are conditioned on the Mortgagee delivering to Landlord,
     within the forty-five (45) day period specified in clause (b) above, an
     instrument agreeing that it will attempt with due diligence to obtain
     possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, and that upon obtaining
     possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, whether through
     foreclosure or otherwise, it will cure such Event of Default (other than an
     Event of Default described in Article XVIII).

          (d) Such Mortgagee shall not be required to continue possession or
     continue foreclosure proceedings under clause (c) of this Section if the
     particular Event of Default has been cured.

          (e) Landlord's right to terminate this Lease by reason of any Event of
     Default described in Article XVIII shall end, with respect to such Event of
     Default, on the date such Mortgagee or any purchaser at the foreclosure
     sale or by assignment in lieu thereof shall obtain possession of the Leased
     Premises as successor to Tenant (whether or not under a new lease);
     provided that Landlord has not, prior to such date, validly exercised its
     right to terminate this Lease, and provided that any purchaser or
     transferee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof complies with the
     provisions of Section 15.02(b).

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
     if Landlord shall purport to terminate this Lease for any reason prior to
     the last day of

                                       41

     the Term, Landlord shall enter into a new lease for the Leased Premises
     with any Mortgagee, or its designee, for the remainder of what would have
     been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such purported termination,
     effective as of the date and time of such purported termination, at the
     Rent and upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained herein,
     and Landlord, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of such new
     lease, shall assign and turn over to the tenant named therein the monies
     and subleases, if any, then being held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease,
     which Tenant would have been entitled to but for such purported
     termination, and said new tenant shall assume such subleases without
     recourse to Landlord, provided that:

               (i)  such Mortgagee shall make written request for such new lease
          within sixty (60) days after the date of such purported termination;
          and

               (ii) such Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on
          the commencement date of the term of the new lease, all installments
          of Rent that at such time are or would have been due and unpaid
          through such commencement date under this Lease but for such purported
          termination and shall cure all uncured Events of Default of Tenant
          under this Lease that are curable by the payment of money or otherwise
          reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee; and shall pay
          or cause to be paid to Landlord on that date all expenses, including
          reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable management fees and court costs
          and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any such
          default and purported termination as well as in connection with the
          execution and delivery of such new lease, less the net income
          collected by Landlord from the date of such purported termination of
          this Lease to the commencement date of such new lease, any excess of
          such net income over the total of said sums and expenses to be applied
          by Landlord to the payment of the Rent thereafter becoming due under
          such new lease.

          In the event two or more Mortgagees each exercise their rights
     hereunder and there is a conflict that renders it impossible to comply with
     all such requests, the Mortgagee whose leasehold Mortgage would be senior
     in priority if there were a foreclosure shall prevail. If all of the
     foregoing conditions shall be satisfied, the purported termination shall be
     deemed ineffective and void ab initio, so that the new lease shall be
                                 -- ------
     deemed to be a continuation of this Lease for all purposes under applicable
     law. If such conditions shall not be met, the Lease shall be deemed to have
     terminated upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period provided for in
     the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph (f).

          (g) In the event any Mortgagee pays any Rent or other sums due
     hereunder which relate to periods other than during its actual ownership of
     the leasehold estate, such Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all
     rights which Tenant may assert against Landlord with respect to such period
     for which such Rent or other sums were paid.

          (h) No surrender or cancellation of this Lease (other than a
     termination by Landlord in compliance with the conditions of this Article
     XV) shall be effective without written approval of the Mortgagee(s); nor
     shall the acquisition of both the fee and leasehold estates in the Leased
     Premises in one entity be deemed to effect a merger thereof without the
     express written consent of the owner/lessee and all Mortgagees at the time
     said fee and leasehold estates are so acquired by one entity.

          SECTION 15.04.  NO OBLIGATION TO CURE.  Nothing herein contained shall
          -------------   ---------------------                                 
require any Mortgagee to cure or undertake to cure any default of Tenant, unless
and until such Mortgagee elects to exercise any right under Section 15.03 as to
which such cure or undertaking to cure is a condition.

          SECTION 15.05.  MODIFICATION OF LEASE.  If in connection with

obtaining a Mortgage from a prospective  Mortgagee, such Mortgagee shall request
reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to the making of such
Mortgage Loan, Landlord will execute an agreement in recordable form so
modifying this Lease, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect
Landlord hereunder.

written notice of any material default by Tenant as to which Tenant receives
notice pursuant to any Mortgage; and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to
obtain the agreement of any Mortgagee to accept any cure tendered by Landlord
(without obligation of Landlord to undertake any such cure) of any such material
Mortgage default.

Premises that may be necessary by reason of Tenant's failure to perform any such
work or to commence the same within ten (10) days after written notice from
Landlord (or without notice in case of emergency).  Nothing herein shall imply
any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work, and performance thereof by
Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform
the same.  Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance,
disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant or any subtenant or
licensee of Tenant by reason of performing any such work, and the obligations of

Leased Premises upon the expiration of the Term.  Such election by Landlord
shall be made by written notice from Landlord to Tenant given within thirty (30)

any demolition or removal, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord surety bonds
insuring completion of the demolition and removal as required by this Section.
In the event that Tenant shall fail fully and properly to complete such
demolition and removal within a reasonable time after the expiration of the
Term, Landlord shall be entitled to complete the same, and the costs thereof
incurred by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional Rent;
provided, however, that if such demolition and removal cannot be completed by
Tenant within a reasonable time after the expiration of the Term because of
Unavoidable Delay, the Term shall be extended by a period of time commensurate
with such Unavoidable Delay so as to permit Tenant an opportunity to complete
its demolition and removal.

          SECTION 22.03.  REMOVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS.  Notwithstanding the
          -------------   -----------------------

to any person; or (c) shall be promptly removed by Tenant, at Tenant's expense,

loss or damage occurring to any property owned by Tenant or any licensee or
sublessee of Tenant.

          SECTION 22.05.  GRANT OF RECIPROCAL EASEMENTS.  In the event that, at
          -------------   -----------------------------                        
the time of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant or an
Affiliate of Tenant owns real estate adjacent to the Real Estate on which are
constructed driveways or walkways providing access to any Improvements or any
other facilities essential to the reasonable, economic use of the Improvements,
Tenant shall grant or cause its Affiliate to grant Landlord such easements
appurtenant to the Real Estate as Landlord shall reasonably request providing
for the continued use of such driveways, walkways and/or facilities in
connection with the Improvements in the manner the same were used prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term.  Such easements may require
Landlord to contribute to the cost of maintenance and repair of such driveways,
walkways and/or facilities upon terms reasonable and appropriate under the
prevailing circumstances.

          SECTION 22.06.  SURVIVAL OF TERMS.  The terms of this Article XXII

          Failure of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any act or omission on
the part of the other party, however long the same may continue, shall not be
deemed to be a waiver by said party of any of its rights hereunder.  No waiver
by Landlord or Tenant at any time, express or implied, of any breach of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other
provision of this Lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any
other provision.  No acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment shall
constitute an accord or satisfaction, and such partial payment shall only be
deemed a part payment on account.
