     2.     Payments to Operating Assignee.  The Port Authority agrees to pay to
            ------------------------------

       --------
hereby  certifies,  represents  and warrants to Assignor, Assignee and Operating
Assignee  that  as  of  the  date  of  the  execution  of  this  Agreement:

     (a)     A  true, correct and complete copy of the Lease, and all amendments
thereto,  are  attached  hereto as SCHEDULE A. The Lease has not been amended or
modified,  except  as  set  forth on SCHEDULE A attached hereto and incorporated
herein  by  this  reference.

     (b)     The  Lease, as amended or modified, is in full force and effect and
constitutes  the  legal,  valid  and  binding  obligation of, and is enforceable
against,  the  Port  Authority  in  accordance  with  its  terms.

     (c)     The Rent (as such term is defined in the Lease) payable by Assignor
under the Lease presently consists of the Minimum Net Rent, the Percentage Rent,
and the Additional Rent (as those terms are defined in the Lease). The Rent
payable by Assignor under the Lease has been paid up through October 18, 1999,
except for the Percentage Rent and the Additional Rent which cannot presently be
calculated. The Minimum Net Rent now payable annually under the Lease is Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000).  In addition, the Riverfront Park Grant (as
defined in the Lease) now payable annually under the Lease is One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000).

     (d)     The  expiration  of  the  current  term of the Lease is October 18,
2006,  and  there are eight (8) separate renewal periods of five (5) years each,
of  the  term  of the Lease. No event has occurred or condition currently exists
that  would prevent Assignee or Operating Assignee from exercising its option to
extend  the  term  of  the  Lease  for  any or all of the aforementioned renewal
periods.

     (e)     To  the  best  knowledge of the officer executing this Agreement on
behalf  of  the  Port  Authority,  Assignor is not default in performance of any
covenant,  agreement or condition contained in the Lease, except as specifically
set  forth  on  SCHEDULE  B  attached  hereto  and  incorporated  herein by this
reference.

     (f)     Except  as set forth on SCHEDULE C attached hereto and incorporated
herein  by  this  reference, no event has occurred and no condition exists that,
with  the  giving  of  notice  or  the lapse of time or both, could constitute a
default  by  the  Port  Authority.

     (g)     The  Port  Authority has no present intention to bring an action or
otherwise  attempt  to  enforce  any  alleged  nonperformance  or  breach of any
provision  of  the Lease by Assignor. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE D attached
hereto  and  incorporated  herein  by  this reference, the Port Authority has no
existing  defenses  or offsets against the enforcement of the Lease by Assignor,
and  knows  of no other parties who are not signatories to the Lease who possess
or  may  assert  rights  under  or  in  connection  with  the  Lease.
<PAGE>

(h)     Except  as  set  forth  on  SCHEDULE  E attached hereto and incorporated
herein  by  this  reference, the Lease and the Development Agreement dated as of
March 12, 1993, by and between the Port Authority and Hilton Hotels Corporation,
as  thereafter  amended,  are the only agreements, written or oral, entered into
directly  between  the  Port Authority and Hilton Hotels Corporation or Flamingo
Hilton  Riverboat  Casino,  L.P.

     (i)     Except  as set forth on SCHEDULE F attached hereto and incorporated
herein  by this reference, the Port Authority has not received any notice of any
violations  of  any  statutes,  laws,  ordinances  or directives relating to the
Lease.

     6.     Counterparts.  This  Agreement  operates  as  the  required  written
            ------------
consent  under Article XVII of the Lease, and no further action need be taken or
consent obtained by Assignor, Assignee or Operating Assignee with respect to the
Port  Authority  to  give  full  legal  effect  to the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement,  except  to  deliver  an  executed  counterpart of the Assignment and
Assumption  Agreement,  in  recordable  form,  to  the  Port  Authority.

     7.     Reliance.  The Port Authority acknowledges that the Port Authority's
            --------
acknowledgment,  consent  representations  and  warranties  set  forth  in  this
Agreement are for the benefit of, shall be relied upon, and shall be enforceable
by,  Assignor,  in addition to the Assignee and Operating Assignee; accordingly,
the  Port Authority acknowledges and agrees that Assignor shall be a third party
beneficiary  hereof  and  shall  have  the  right  to enforce any such terms and
conditions  hereof  in  such  capacity.
