                                 ---------------
     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Lease") is made and entered
into by and between THE PORT AUTHORITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (the "Landlord")
and  HILTON HOTELS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Tenant"), as of the

RECITALS

     The  following  recitals  are  a  material  part  of  this  Lease:
A.     Landlord is a body politic created and formed by the city of Kansas City,
Missouri  (the  "City")  under  Ordinance Number 47523 adopted February 11,
1983  by  virtue of the power granted to the City under Sections 68.010 et. seq.
of  the  Revised  Statutes  of  Missouri.

B.     Tenant submitted a proposal dated December 30, 1992, and supplemented on
January 11, 1993 (collectively, the "Proposal"), to construct gaming facilities
on property leased by Landlord from the City. Landlord and Tenant signed a
Development Agreement on March 12, 1993, under which Tenant attempted to develop
such facilities on Site B and agreed to construct related infrastructure on
behalf of Landlord and the City. Because of difficult site constraints, changing
regulatory requirements, changes in the Missouri gaming laws, and concern of
Landlord and Tenant with potential problems relating to environmental and
archaeological issues at Site B, Landlord and Tenant have agreed, subject to the
Development Agreement (as defined herein), to construct Tenant's gaming
enterprise at Site A instead of at Site B and to modify the requirements of the
Development Agreement relating to infrastructure construction and development.

C.     The City, as present owner of the Demised Premises (as defined herein)
has, under that certain Kansas City Riverfront Lease Agreement dated May 14,
1993 as amended by agreements dated September 30, 1994 and ________________,
1995 (collectively "City Lease"), leased the Demised Premises (as herein
defined) to Landlord with all necessary right, title and interest thereto in
order for Landlord to have the full legal ability to further sublease the same
to other parties such as Tenant.

D.     Subject to and in connection with that certain Development Agreement made
and entered into by and between the Landlord and Tenant on March 12, 1993, and
amended by Addenda One through Fourteen (collectively the "Development
Agreement"), the first and signature pages of each of which are attached hereto
identified as Exhibit A, Landlord has agreed to sublease to Tenant the Demised
Premises and the Easements (as defined herein) and Tenant has agreed to sublease
the same from Landlord.

E.     On March 12, 1993, Landlord and Tenant entered into a certain Lease
Agreement (the "Lease") under which Landlord leased to Tenant the Demised
Premises and additional real property.
<PAGE>

F.     In the Twelfth and Thirteenth Addendums to the Development Agreement
(Exhibit D) the parties agreed that Tenant would construct its riverboat gaming
floating facility ("Riverboat Gaming Facility") in a basin adjacent to the
Missouri River.

G.     The parties hereto have determined that the Lease should be amended and
restated.

     WITNESSETH,  that  for  and  in  consideration of the sum of Ten and NO/100
Dollars  ($10.00) to each of them paid by the other, and other good and valuable
consideration,  the  receipt,  adequacy  and  sufficiency  of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged by each of them, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as

was  executed  by such parties for the purpose of ingress and egress to and from
the Demised Premises and Riverfront Road and which such easement is described in
Exhibit  B-1, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and

(b)     A certain pedestrian easement (the "Pedestrian Access Easement") to be

Landlord and Tenant), without the necessity of any additional notice from either

shall  incur  no  expense  with  respect  to  the riverboat gaming enterprise of
Tenant, as Tenant agreed to so do under the Proposal, Tenant agrees (i) that any

such business endeavors, on or in connection with all or any portion of the
Demised Premises or the Easements.

Section 2.06     OBLIGATION TO OPERATE. At all times from and after the Opening
                 ---------------------
Date during the Term of this Lease (including any validly exercised renewals of
the original or any extended term hereof), Tenant will continuously use and
occupy the Demised Premises and operate its riverboat gaming enterprise in
connection therewith in good faith and in such a manner as shall assure the
transaction of a maximum volume of business in and at the Demised Premises and
from said riverboat gaming enterprise.  If Tenant shall fail to cause its said
riverboat gaming enterprise to be operated as required under the immediately
preceding sentence, then, in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord
under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord in lieu of Percentage Rent
and in addition to any other Rent payable hereunder, and as liquidated damages
for such failure to so operate, a sum equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then

which Tenant shall fail to so operate (e.g. if not operating for forty (40)
days, 40/365th of 50% of the then applicable Minimum Net Rent as Percentage Rent
for such forty (40) days). Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for the
purposes of this Section 2.06 Tenant's failure to so operate shall be deemed
unavoidable and not a failure to so operate, if and so long as non-operation
shall be directly caused by fire or other casualty, national emergency,
condemnation, enemy action, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, or national
defense preemptions, acts of God, energy shortages, changes in the Missouri law
which prohibits the continuation of Tenant's business, changes in the Kansas
City, Missouri gaming industry which make Tenant's gaming operations
unprofitable for a continuous period of one (1) year or more, or any other
similar causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant, and provided further
that Tenant shall continually thereafter use its diligent best efforts to
alleviate the cause for such cessation of operation and commence operation as
soon thereafter as is practicable.

of the Term of this Lease after Opening Date, a written statement, in form
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certified to as true, complete and accurate
by an authorized officer of Tenant, setting out its Gross Revenues during the
immediately preceding three (3) month period ("Tenant's Quarterly Statement"). A
similar statement, certified as correct by Tenant's chief financial officer
shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after each anniversary of
the Opening Date ("Tenant's Annual Statement"). Tenant shall pay any Percentage
Rent due, based on Tenant's Quarterly Annual Statement, within thirty (30) days
after the end of the quarter or year reported in Tenant's Quarterly or Annual
Statement, which statement reflects that any Percentage Rent is due hereunder,
as a result of 3-1/4% of Gross Revenues during the total period of time
reflected therein exceeding the Minimum Net Rent due for the 12-month period of
time as to which said Quarterly or Annual Statement relates.

Section  2.08     ACCOUNTING  RECORDS  AND  AUDITING  RIGHTS.
                  ------------------------------------------

2.08.1     Accounting  Records. Tenant shall maintain at the Demised Premises or
           -------------------
at  a  central  accounting  location  maintained  in the City, and identified to
Landlord  upon  request, account records and procedures complying with generally
accepted  accounting principles consistently applied, as defined by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") and the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  ("FASB");  provided,  however, that such principles shall
comply in all respects and conform to all rules, regulations and requirements of
the  Gaming  Commission of the State of Missouri or any similar body established
in  Missouri relating to accounting principles for the determination of adjusted
gross  receipts  of Tenant, so as to enable Tenant to calculate, and Landlord to
verify, any Percentage Rent due under this Lease. Tenant shall preserve Tenant's
said  books  and  records  relating to each calendar year for at least three (3)
years  after  the  end of such calendar. If at the conclusion of such three-year
period, a dispute is pending between Landlord and Tenant regarding the amount of
Percentage Rent due, then Tenant shall continue to preserve such records pending
the  final  disposition  of  such  dispute.

2.08.2     Audit Procedures. Within (and in no event later than) seventy-five
           ----------------
(75) days after the end of each calendar year of Tenant, Tenant shall cause the
certified public accountant then regularly auditing Tenant's books and records
(which CPA shall be licensed in Missouri and shall be a member of AICPA) to
audit Tenant's (and/or any subtenant's, licensee's, franchisee's or
concessionaire's) books and records relevant to the calculation of Rents and
other payments and Gross Revenues reported by Tenant and/or which should have
been reported by Tenant during its preceding calendar year and to certify to
Landlord the correctness of same and the compliance thereof with the definitions
and requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at the time of
filing thereof, copies of all financial reports and tax returns furnished to the
State of Missouri and/or the Gaming Commission thereof in connection with the
determination of Tenant's taxable gaming revenue and/or adjusted gross receipts.
Further, if Tenant shall fail to so provide to Landlord such certification
and/or copies as and when due hereunder or if Landlord shall desire to audit
such statement(s), Landlord, in conjunction with the City Auditor and Director
of Finance for the City, shall have the right to audit the books and records of
Tenant with respect to Percentage Rent or other payments provided for in this
Lease at any time upon reasonable notice; provided that Landlord agrees to
exercise this audit right not more frequently than once per fiscal year. Any
such audit shall be performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, during ordinary business hours and without unreasonably interfering
with Tenant's business. If such certification was not provided or if any such
audit reveals that Gross Revenue or any portion of Percentage Rent due hereunder
was understated, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of the audit with
appropriate backup documentation, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the additional
Percentage Rent due on account of the audit or audit corrections. Any adjusting
payment due on account of previous underpayment shall bear interest at the
Interest Rate (as defined herein) from the date it would have been paid had
Tenant's Quarterly Statement been correct, until the date actually paid. If such
certification was not so provided or if Percentage Rent reported therein was
understated by more than two percent (2%) for any audited period of time, then
Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the audit showing same and/or disclosing
such understatement; otherwise the audit shall be conducted at Landlord's
expense.

Section  2.09     NET LEASE. It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant
                  ---------
that  this  is a net lease and that from and after the opening Date, the Minimum
Net  Rent  (and  any  Percentage  Rent  and/or Additional Rent) shall, except as
herein  otherwise  provided,  be  absolutely net to Landlord, so that this Lease
shall  thereafter  yield,  net,  to  Landlord, the Minimum Net Rent specified in
section  2.03  hereof  in  each  remaining  year during the Term and any renewal
thereof,  together with the Percentage Rent provided for in Section 2.05 hereof,
and the Additional Rent provided for in Section 2.10 hereof, and that all costs,
expenses  and  obligations  of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to
the  Demised  Premises  and/or  the  operation  of  Tenant's  riverboat  gaming
enterprise  thereon  and/or  in connection therewith, except as herein otherwise
provided,  which  may  arise  or become due during or out of the original or any
renewal  Term of this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant, and that Landlord shall be
protected,  defended,  indemnified  and held harmless by Tenant from and against
the  payment  of  same  or  any  obligation  to  pay  the  same.

further acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are not subordinate to any
of its most senior or other debts or obligations and that Landlord has not

such work, it is necessary for Landlord to have net proceeds totaling in the

this  Lease.  In  case  of  any  particular  casualty  resulting  in  damage  or
destruction  not  exceeding  $500,000.00  in  the aggregate, the loss under such
policies  shall  be  adjusted  by Tenant and the insurance companies. In case of

be adjusted and paid as hereinabove provided. Each such policy shall contain a
provision that no involuntary act or omission of Tenant or anyone operating
under rights granted by it shall affect or limit the obligation of the issuing
insurance company to so pay the amount of any loss sustained.

arising in whole or in part from any of the following or other actual or alleged
matters,  occurrences,  events, transactions, acts and omissions during the Term
of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof or for so long as Tenant shall
be  in  possession  of  the  Demised  Premises  or  any  part  thereof:
<PAGE>

(a)     any  work  or  thing  done  or  permitted to be done in, on or about the
Demised  Premises  and  the Easements or any part thereof by Tenant, sublessees,
franchisees,  licensees and any of their respective officers, directors, agents,
contractors,  employees,  and  invitees;

(b)     any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation,

thereof or any alley, sidewalk, curb, street, bridge, walkway, garage,
passageway or space adjacent thereto or any riverboat gaming enterprise
associated therewith for which Tenant is responsible hereunder;

(c)     any negligent or intentional act or omission on the part of Tenant or
any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, subtenants, licensees or
invitees;

(d)     any accident, injury or damage to any person or property occurring in,
on or about or arising from the Demised Premises and the Easements or any part
thereof, or any alley, sidewalk, curb, street, bridge, walkway, passageway or
space adjacent thereto;

(e)     any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions or limitations contained in
this Lease and/or the Development Agreement, to be performed or complied with by
it; and/or

(f)     any obligation of the Tenant or Tenant's contractors and/or their
subcontractors under workers' compensation laws or the laws of the federal
government or any state's government as to any employee benefits or any
employment related problems under ERISA or any other statutory liabilities, be
they state, local or federal.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Tenant  shall  not be obligated hereunder with
respect  to  the  liability or responsibility for any pre-existing environmental
conditions  described  in  Section  8.02.3  hereof.

     In  case  any  action  or proceeding is brought against Landlord or City by
reason  of  any  such  claim, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord or City,
shall  at  Tenant's  sole  cost  and  expense  resist  and defend such action or
proceeding  by  counsel approved by Landlord in writing, which approval Landlord
agrees  not  to  unreasonably  withhold.

Landlord  shall  fully  indemnify  and  save  harmless  Tenant  and  its agents,
servants,  employees, officers and directors, with respect to any failure on the
part  of  Landlord  to  perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions, conditions, or limitations contained in this Lease and/or the
Development  Agreement, to be performed or complied with by Landlord and any and
all  liabilities,  obligations,  damages,  penalties, claims, costs, charges and
expenses, and any and all suits and proceedings in connection therewith, even if
any  such  suit,  claim  or  proceeding  is  false,  groundless  or  fraudulent,
including, without limitation, reasonable architects', engineers', accountants',
expert  witnesses' and attorneys' fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred by
or  asserted  against Tenant, its said agents, servants, officers, directors and
employees  by  reason  of or arising in whole or in part from any such actual or
alleged  matters,  occurrences,  events, transactions, acts and omissions during
the  Term  of  this  Lease or any renewal or extension thereof or for so long as
Tenant  shall  be in possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof.  In
case  any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any claim,
Landlord,  upon  written  notice  from Tenant, shall at Landlord's sole cost and
expense  resist  and  defend  such  action  or proceeding by counsel approved by
Tenant  in  writing,  which approval Tenant agrees not to unreasonably withhold.
Neither  Landlord  nor  the City shall be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to
those  claiming  by, through, or under Tenant, nor shall Landlord or the City be
required  to protect, defend, indemnify or hold Tenant or any of such persons or
entities harmless from and against any loss or damage which may be occasioned by
or  through Tenant or others (including Tenant's business invitees), as a result
of  the occupancy or use of the Demised Premises and the Easements or any damage
or  injury  of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any loss or
damage  which  arises  from  any defect in or failure of or danger in connection
with  the  Demised  Premises  and  the  Easements  or any improvement thereon or
adjacent  thereto,  or  any  utility  or  other  service furnished in connection
therewith  all  except  as  described  in  Section 8.02.3 hereof.  Other than as
described  in  section  8.02.3  hereof,  Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised
Premises and the Easements, and all parts thereof and make same available to its
business  invitees  and others at Tenant's sole risk and at no risk or liability
to  Landlord  or  the  City.

                          Damage or Destruction

Section  15.01     REPAIR/RESTORATION  BY  TENANT.  In  case  of  damage  to  or
                   ------------------------------
destruction  of  any  improvements  now  or  hereafter  existing  on the Demised
Premises  and the Easements, including the Site Improvements as defined herein),
Tenant be obligated to repair and/or restore the same.  If Tenant shall, as soon
as is practical after any such damage or destruction considering the extent
of  the  damage,  commence  repair  and/or construction of a new building and/or
other  improvements,  as  applicable,  the  proceeds of any insurance payable by
reason  of  such damage or destruction shall be paid to Tenant.  If Tenant shall
fail  to  so  commence such repair/construction and diligently pursue completion
within  such period of time, such proceeds of insurance shall be the property of
and  shall  be  paid  to  Landlord,  except for proceeds payable with respect to
Tenant's Personalty and Fixtures.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall
have  all  rights  to direct use of payments made under insurance provided under
Section  5.02(b)  hereof.

Section 15.02     NOTICE.  In case of damage to or destruction of any
                  ------
improvements on the Demised Premises and the Easements or any part thereof, by
fire or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly give written notice thereof to
Landlord, and Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and whether or
not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for such purpose,
restore, repair, replace, rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to its
value immediately prior to such damage or destruction, with such changes or
alterations as may be made from time to time at Tenant's election, all in
conformity with and subject to the applicable terms and conditions hereof and of
the Development Agreement.

Section 15.03     NO RIGHT TO TERMINATE/SURRENDER.  No destruction of or damage
                  -------------------------------
to the improvements on the Demised Premises and the Easements or any part
thereof, by fire or any other casualty, shall permit Tenant to surrender this
Lease or shall relieve Tenant from its liability to pay the full Minimum Net
Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent, the Riverfront Park Grant and other
charges payable under this Lease or from any of its other obligations under this
Lease or under the Development Agreement, and Tenant waives all rights now or
hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to quit or surrender this
Lease or the Demised Premises or any part thereof or to cease its operations
hereunder or to any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent on
account of any such destruction or damage.

                                  ARTICLE XVI.
                                 Condemnation

Section  16.01     TAKING.  In  the  event  that  the  Demised  Premises  or the
                   ------
Easements, or any part thereof, shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by
exercise  of  any  right of eminent domain or by agreement between Landlord
and  Tenant  (any  such  matters  being  hereinafter referred to as a "taking"),
Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to participate in any such condemnation
proceedings  or  agreement  for  the  purpose  of  protecting  their  interests
hereunder.  Each  party  so  participating  shall  pay its own expenses therein.

Section 16.02     SUBSTANTIAL/COMPLETE TAKING.  If at any time during the term
                  ---------------------------
of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof there shall be a taking of the
whole or substantially all of the Demised Premises, this Lease shall terminate
and expire on the date of such taking and the Rent payable hereunder shall be
equitably apportioned and paid to the date of such taking and Tenant shall have
no further liability to Landlord under this Lease.  For the purpose of this
Article, "substantially all of the Demised Premises" shall be deemed to have
been taken if (i) the untaken part of the Demised Premises and/or the Easements
shall be insufficient for the economic and feasible continued operation of the
riverboat gambling enterprise in connection therewith, or (ii) if the taken part
of the Demised Premises and/or Easements includes the Riverboat Gaming Facility.

Section 16.03     TERMINATION FROM TAKING.  If this Lease shall have terminated
                  -----------------------
as a result of such taking:

As  to  all  of  any  award (regardless of basis for the making of same), Tenant
shall be entitled to that portion of the award which is equivalent to a fraction
in  which the numerator is equal to the number of years remaining in the initial
Term  (and  any  potential renewal term) and the denominator is fifty (50) years
("Tenant's  Award")  and  Landlord  shall  be  entitled to the remainder of such
award, provided however that in no event shall Landlord's share of such award be
less  than  that  amount  of money required to retire all then outstanding bonds
secured by Landlord's interest in this Lease, on the earliest redemption date to
occur after termination of this Lease.  Provided further such minimum Landlord's
share  shall  not exceed the total principal interest and redemption premium, if
any, that would have been due and owing as of the next redemption date under the
first occurring Bond Issuance contemplated and described in Section 2.14 of this
Lease.

Section  16.04     PARTIAL TAKING.  If this Lease shall not have been terminated
                   --------------
as above provided and shall continue after the taking, then in such event all of
the  Award  (regardless  of  the  basis  for  the  making of same) shall be
distributed  as  follows:

(a)     Tenant  shall  be  tendered  that  portion of the award received for all
purposes  (including  land acquisition) of replacing, improving or making usable
any improvement on or adjacent to the Demised Premises that needs replacement or
alteration  or  improvement  as  a  result  of  the  taking;  and
<PAGE>

(b)     The remainder of the Award shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant
as set forth in Section 16.03 above, except that the provisions therein for
Landlord's minimum share respecting outstanding bonds shall not apply.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in  the  event of exercise of power of eminent
domain by the Missouri Highway Transportation Department ("MHTD") or a successor
thereof,  of  all  or  part  of Parking Parcel A as that term is defined in that
certain  Cooperative  Agreement between the City, Landlord and Tenant dated July
31,  1995,  Tenant and Landlord shall not be entitled to damages for such taking
and  in  such  event  the  parties  shall modify this Lease as therein provided.

Section  16.05     EASEMENT  TYPE  TAKING.  In  the  event  of  the taking of an
                   ----------------------
easement or any other taking which shall be of an interest or estate in the land
less  than a fee simple, as a result of which the Demised Premises shall be
insufficient  for  the economic and feasible continued operation of its business
thereon by Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and expire with the same force and
effect  as in the case of a taking pursuant to Section 16.03 hereof.  Otherwise,
such  taking  shall  be deemed a taking insufficient to terminate this Lease and
the  division  of the award shall be governed by Section 16.04 in so far as that
Section  shall  be  applicable;  provided,  however,  that if there shall be any
payment  or  award  predicated on a change in the grade of a street or avenue on
which  the  Demised  Premises  abut, Tenant shall be entitled, after making such
change  in  restoration  as  may  be necessary and appropriate by reason of such
change  of  grade, to reimbursement for the expense thereof to the extent of the
net  amount  of  any  payment  or award, after deduction of costs of collection,
including,  without  limitation,  attorneys'  fees  and  expenses,  which may be
awarded  for  such  change  of  grade.  Any part of an award for change of grade
which  shall  remain  unexpended after such restoration shall be the property of
Landlord.  If  any  award  shall  include  change of grade and any other item or
element  of  damage,  that part thereof shall be applied in accordance with this
Section  16.05  which shall be specifically attributed to change of grade by the
condemnation  award  or,  if not so attributed, shall be determined by agreement
between  the  parties.

                                 ARTICLE XVII.
            Assignments, Mortgages and Subleases of Tenant's Interest

     Except  as  specifically  provided herein and in the Development Agreement,
Tenant,  and  its  permitted  successors  and  assigns,  shall have the right to
assign,  sublet,  mortgage,  encumber  or  otherwise  affect  this  Lease or any
interest  therein,  with  the  prior  written consent of Landlord, which consent
shall  not  be  unreasonably  withheld.  Landlord's  withholding of such consent
shall  be  deemed  reasonable  hereunder unless Tenant and its proposed assignee
comply  with  requirements  substantially  similar to those set forth in Section
18.04  B  viii,  (b)  and  (c)  herein.

With  the  prior written consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed,  Tenant shall have the right to enter into sublease, license, franchise
and  concessionaire agreements with persons or entities to operate various types
of  ancillary and/or supporting business enterprises to Tenant's gaming business
enterprise  at the Demised Premises including, without limitation, those for the
serving  of  food  and  beverages.
<PAGE>

No  assignment  or  sublease, even if so consented to, shall be effective unless
and  until  Landlord  shall  have  received  an  executed  counterpart  of  such
assignment  or sublease, in recordable form, under which the assignee shall have
assumed all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall specifically agreed
to  perform  and observe the covenants and conditions in this Lease contained on
Tenant's  part  to  be  performed  and  observed.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is obligated
under  provisions  of  the  Development  Agreement to cause its riverboat gaming
enterprise  to be conducted by an enterprise which is ninety percent (90%) owned
by  Tenant  and  ten  percent  (10%)  owned by minority interests. To the extent
necessary  to  enable  such  joint  venture to so operate, Tenant may assign its
interest  hereunder  (but specifically without relieving it of any obligation or
liability hereunder), provided, however, that such enterprise is formed pursuant
to  the  minority ownership requirements of the Development Agreement and/or any
Exhibit  thereto  and  that  on  the  Opening Date and for a period equal to the
lesser  of  (i)  five  (5)  years after the date hereof, or (ii) three (3) years
after  the  Opening Date, and such enterprise shall in fact be ten percent (10%)
minority  owned.  Tenant  further  agrees  that  said ten percent (10%) minority
interest shall be such that such minority interest in the aggregate shall enjoy,
receive  and  benefit from its aggregate ten percent (10%) ownership interest in
the  riverboat  gaming  enterprise  herein  provided  for.

Landlord  shall  have the right to, or to allow City to, convey, assign, pledge,
encumber or mortgage any part of its respective interest in the Demised Premises
and/or  this  Lease,  specifically  including  but  not  being  limited  to  any
assignment  by  Landlord  to  a  third party bond trustee, as security for bonds
issued by Landlord and secured by this Lease so long as any such transfer is not
to any person or party in direct competition with Tenant, and, in the event of a
pledge,  encumbrance  or  mortgage,  such  mortgagees(s) and Tenant enter into a
Non-Disturbance  and  Attornment  Agreement  in  standard  form  reasonably
satisfactory  to  Tenant.  Tenant may pledge, encumber or mortgage its leasehold
estate  or  any  part thereof so long as any such transfer is subordinate to the
City's  and to Landlord's (or its mortgagee's) estates and provided further that
Landlord  and  any  such  mortgagee(s)  shall  enter into a Non--Disturbance and
Attornment  Agreement  in  standard form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
the  City.

                                 ARTICLE XVIII.
                                   Default

Section  18.01     "EVENT OF DEFAULT" BY TENANT DEFINED.  Any one or more of the
                   ------------------------------------
following  events  shall  constitute  an "Event of Default" by Tenant hereunder:

(a)     The  sale,  assignment  or  other  transfer  of  all  or any of Tenant's
interest in this Lease and/or the Demised Premises or any portion thereof (other
than  as  is  permitted  under  Article  XVII hereof) voluntarily, or under
attachment,  execution  or similar legal process, or if Tenant is adjudicated as
bankrupt  or  insolvent  under  any  state bankruptcy or insolvency law and such
adjudication  or  order is not vacated within ninety (90) days and Tenant is not
otherwise  in  default  hereunder.
<PAGE>

(b)     The commencement of a case under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code by or against Tenant or any operating entity of Tenant's riverboat gaming
enterprise ("Operator") in connection with the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition thereunder
proposing the adjudication of Tenant or Operator as bankrupt or insolvent, or
the reorganization of Tenant, or Operator or an arrangement by Tenant or any
such Operator with its creditors, unless the petition filed or case commenced is
withdrawn or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of its filing and
Tenant is not otherwise in default hereunder.

(c)     The appointment of a receiver or trustee for the business or property of
Tenant or any such Operator, unless such appointment shall be vacated within
ninety (90) days of its entry.

(d)     The making by Tenant or any such Operator of an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or if in any other manner Tenant's interest in this
Lease shall pass to another person, firm or entity by operation of law except a
merger or reorganization of Tenant in which Tenant shall be the survivor and/or
the same persons or entities in control of Tenant shall remain in control of
such merged or reorganized entity.

(e)     The failure of Tenant to pay any portion of properly due Rent within
five (5) days after the giving of notice thereof by Landlord that the same is
due hereunder. Tenant's failure to pay Percentage Rent greater than the Minimum
Net Rent shall not be sufficient ground for termination of this Lease by
Landlord if such failure is the result of a bona fide dispute as to the amount
due and payable and Tenant promptly pays any Percentage Rent underpayment with
interest at the Interest Rate from the due date until paid upon resolution of
such dispute.

(f)     Material default by Tenant in the performance or observance of any
covenant or agreement of this Lease (other than a default involving the payment
of Rent), or any obligation of Tenant under the Development Agreement or any
Exhibit thereto, which default is not cured within ten (10) days after the
giving of notice thereof by Landlord, unless such default is of such nature that
it cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period, in which case no
Event of Default shall occur so long as Tenant shall commence the curing of the
default within such ten (10) day period and shall thereafter diligently
prosecute the curing of same; provided, however, if Tenant shall default in the
performance of any such covenant or agreement of this Lease, the Development
Agreement or any Exhibit thereto two (2) or more times in any twelve (12) month
period, then notwithstanding that each of such defaults shall have been cured by
Tenant, any further default of such covenant or agreement within such twelve
(12) month period shall be deemed an Event of Default without the ability for
cure.

(g)     The vacation or abandonment of the Demised Premises at any time after
the Commencement Date by Tenant except a vacation or abandonment permitted under
Section 2.06 hereof.

(h)     The occurrence of any other event described as constituting an '"Event
of Default" elsewhere in this Lease or the Development Agreement or any Exhibit
thereto and the continuation of such an Event of Default after the expiration of
any cure period provided herein or therein.
<PAGE>

Section  18.02     REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the
                   --------
continuation of any such Event of Default after the expiration of any applicable
cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without further notice to Tenant
in any instance (except as expressly provided for below), may do any one or more
of  the  following:

(a)     With  or  without  judicial process, enter the Demised Premises and take
possession thereof without the necessity of legal proceedings, and remove Tenant
and all other persons and property from the Demised Premises, and may store
such  property  in  a  public  warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
account  of  Tenant  without  resort to legal process and without Landlord being
deemed  guilty  of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned
thereby;  and  Landlord  may,  from time to time without terminating this Lease,
make  such  alterations  and  repairs  as  may be necessary to relet the Demised
Premises  or  any  portion  thereof,  alone  or together with other premises, on
behalf  of  Tenant and for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than
the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term or any
then  validly exercised renewal thereof) and on such terms and conditions (which
may  include concessions or free rent and alteration of the Demised Premises) as
Landlord,  in  its  sole  discretion,  may  determine, but Landlord shall not be
liable  for,  nor  shall  Tenant's obligations under this Lease be diminished by
reason  of, any failure by Landlord to relet the Demised Premises or any failure
by  Landlord to collect any rent due upon such reletting so long as Landlord has
reasonably  attempted to mitigate damages as required in Section 18.10.  No such
re-entry  or  the  taking  of  possession of the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof  by  Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate
this  Lease  or  to  accept  a surrender thereof unless a written notice of such
intention  be  given  to  Tenant.  Notwithstanding  any  such  reletting without
termination,  Landlord  may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for  such previous breach and receive, in addition to any other damages which it
may  be entitled, the Default/Termination Damages defined in 18.03 of this Lease
and, in addition, the "Liquidated Damages" described in 18.03(ii) of this Lease;
or

(b)     Perform, on behalf and at the expense of Tenant, any obligation of
Tenant under this Lease which Tenant has failed to perform and of which Landlord
shall have given Tenant notice, the cost of which performance by Landlord,
together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of such
expenditure, shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant to
Landlord upon demand.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (b) and
regardless of whether an Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord may
exercise the remedy described in this clause (b) without any notice to Tenant if
Landlord, in its good faith judgment, believes it would be materially injured by
failure to take rapid action or if the unperformed obligation of Tenant
constitutes an emergency; or

(c)     Elect to terminate this Lease and the tenancy created hereby by giving
written notice of such election to Tenant, and reenter the Demised Premises and
the Easements, without the necessity of legal proceedings, and remove Tenant and
all other persons and property from the Demised Premises and the Easements, and
may store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for
the account of Tenant without resort to legal process and without Landlord being
deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned
thereby; or
<PAGE>

(d)     Exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which it may have.

(e)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere
herein or as provided by law or equity generally, in recognition of the major
investment in Site Improvements, grants and fundings to be made by Tenant for
Landlord's benefit as set out herein or in the Development Agreement, Landlord
agrees that after the  Commencement Date, it will only elect the remedies of
dispossessing Tenant or terminating this Lease as a last resort in the event
that Tenant has materially failed to perform its obligations hereunder and
Tenant has failed to compensate Landlord for all reasonable damages and costs
caused Landlord by such breach(es) so long as Tenant in good faith is continuing
to operate the riverboat gaming enterprise in substantially the manner
contemplated herein.

     All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including, without limitation,
reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  in enforcing any of its rights and remedies under
this  Lease  shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and shall be paid to Landlord
by  Tenant  upon  demand.

Section  18.03     DAMAGES.
                   -------
     Whether  or  not  this  Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section
18.02 hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the continuation of
any  such  Event  of  Default after the expiration of any applicable cure period
provided  for  herein, Tenant shall in all events nevertheless remain liable for
(a)  any  Rent,  any installment of the Riverfront Park Grant (the "Grant"), any
damages  which  may  be  due or sustained prior to the last to occur of the date
upon  which  an  Event  of  Default  occurs  or  the  date  of expiration of any
applicable  cure period with respect to such Event of Default, including damages
under  Section  2.06  hereof,  and,  in addition, all reasonable costs, fees and
expenses,  including,  but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses,  incurred  by  Landlord  in  pursuit of its remedies hereunder, and in
renting  the Demised Premises and the Easements or any portion thereof to others
from time to time (all such Rent, Grant, damages, costs, fees and expenses being
referred  to  herein  as  "Default/  Termination Damages"), and (b) in the event
Landlord shall attempt to relet or shall relet all or any portion of the Demised
Premises or in the event that this Lease shall be terminated, additional damages
(the  "Liquidated  Damages"),  which,  at  the election of Landlord, shall be as
follows:

(i)     in the event that Landlord has not exercised its right to terminate this
Lease,  an  amount equal to the Rent which would have become due during the
remainder of the Term or any exercised renewal thereof, less the amount of rent,
additional  rent,  grant,  and  other sums, if any, which Landlord shall receive
during  such  period from others to whom the Demised Premises and/or any portion
thereof  may be rented (other than any rent or other sum received by Landlord as
a  result  of  any  failure of such other person or entity to perform any of its
obligations  to  Landlord),  in  which  case  such  Liquidated  Damages shall be
computed  and  payable  in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of
each  calendar  month  following  the  occurrence of an uncured Event of Default
under  this  Lease  and  continuing  until  the  date  on which the Term (or any
exercised renewal thereof with no automatic renewals to occur thereafter) is due
to expire, and any suit or action brought to collect any such Liquidated Damages
for any month shall not in any manner prejudice the right of Landlord to collect
any  Liquidated  Damages  for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding or be
deemed  to  require  repeated  lawsuits  hereunder;  or
<PAGE>

(ii)     if Landlord shall at any time exercise its right to terminate this
Lease, an amount equal to the present worth (as of the date of such termination)
of Rent and Grant which, but for such termination of this Lease, would have
become due during the remainder of the Term (or any exercised renewal thereof),
less the fair rental value of the Demised Premises for the remainder of the Term
(or any exercised renewal thereof) with no automatic renewals to occur
thereafter, as determined by an independent appraiser named by the presiding
judge of the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, in which case such
Liquidated Damages shall be payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand and
shall bear interest at the Interest Rate until paid.  For purposes of this
clause (ii), "present worth" shall be computed by discounting such amount to
present worth at a discount rate equal to the Interest Rate.

     If an uncured Event of Default shall take place after the expiration of two
or  more  years  after  the  Opening  Date,  then, for purposes of computing the
Liquidated  Damages,  the  Percentage Rent payable with respect to each calendar
year  or  portion thereof following such uncured Event of Default (including the
balance  of  the  year  in which such uncured Event of Default shall take place)
shall  be  conclusively  presumed  to  be  equal  to the average Percentage Rent
payable  with  respect  to  each  complete  year preceding such uncured Event of
Default.  If  such  uncured  Event  of  Default  shall  take  place  before  the
expiration  of two years after Opening Date, then, for purposes of computing the
Liquidated  Damages,  the  Percentage Rent payable with respect to each calendar
year  or  portion thereof following such uncured Event of Default (including the
balance  of  the calendar year in which such uncured Event of Default shall take
place)  shall  be  conclusively  presumed  to  be equal to twelve (12) times the
average  monthly  amount  of  Percentage Rent which was due and payable prior to
such  uncured Event of if no Percentage Rent shall have been payable during such
period,  then  the  Percentage Rent for each year of the unexpired Term shall be
conclusively  presumed to be a sum equal to that described in Section 2.06 as if
there  had  been a failure of Tenant to operate its riverboat gaming enterprise.

Default/Termination  Damages shall be due and payable immediately upon demand by
Landlord  following  any  uncured  Event  of  Default  of this Lease pursuant to
Section  18.02.  Liquidated  Damages  shall  be due and payable at the times set
forth  herein.

Nothing  contained  in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord
to  prove  for  and  obtain, in proceedings for the termination of this Lease by
reason  of  bankruptcy  or insolvency, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by
any  statute  or  rule  of  law  in  effect  at the time when, and governing the
proceedings  in which the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be
greater,  equal  to,  or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to
above.  The  failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Demised Premises or any
part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages
hereunder  so  long  as Landlord has reasonably attempted to mitigate damages as
required  in  Section  18.10.

Section  18.04     REMEDIES  IN  EVENT  OF  BANKRUPTCY  OR  OTHER  PROCEEDING.
                   ----------------------------------------------------------

A.     Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if termination
of  this  Lease  shall  be stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction
over  any  proceeding described in paragraph (b) of Section 18.01, or by federal
or  state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if Tenant
or  Tenant  as  debtor-in-possession  or  the  trustee  appointed  in  any  such
proceeding  (being collectively referred to as "Tenant" only for the purposes of
this  Section  18.04) shall fail to assume Tenant's obligations under this Lease
within  the  period  prescribed  therefor by law or after entry of the order for
relief  or  as  may  be allowed by the court, or if Tenant shall fail to provide
adequate  protection  of  Landlord's  right,  title  and  interest in and to the
Demised  Premises  or  adequate  assurance of the complete and continuous future
performance  of  Tenant's  obligations  under  this Lease, then Landlord, to the
extent  permitted  by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such
proceeding,  shall  have  the  right,  at its election, to terminate this Lease,
without  written  notice  to  Tenant,  and  upon  the  effective  date  of  such
termination,  this  Lease  shall  cease and expire as aforesaid and Tenant shall
immediately  quit  and  surrender  the  Demised  Premises as aforesaid. Upon the
termination  of  this  Lease  as  provided  above, Landlord, without notice, may
re-enter and repossess the Demised Premises using such force for that purpose as
may  be  necessary  without  being  liable to indictment, prosecution or damages
therefor  dispossess  Tenant  by  summary  proceedings  or  otherwise.

B.     For the purposes of the preceding paragraph (a), adequate protection of
Landlord's right, title and interest in and to the Demised Premises, and
adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, shall include, without limitation, the following
requirements:

(i)     that  Tenant  comply  with  all  of  its  obligations under this Lease;

(ii)     that  Tenant pay to Landlord, on the first day of each month occurring
subsequent to the entry of such order, or the effective date of such stay, a sum
     equal  to  the  amount  by  which  the Demised Premises diminished in value
during  the  immediately  preceding  monthly period, but, in no event, an amount
which  is  less  than  the  aggregate  Rent  payable  for  such  monthly period;

(iii)    that Tenant continue to use the Demised Premises in the manner and for
the purposes originally required by this Lease;

(iv)     that Landlord be permitted to supervise the performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease;

(v)     that Tenant pay to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after entry of
such order or the effective date of such stay, as partial adequate protection
against future diminution in value of the Demised Premises and adequate
assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, a security deposit in an amount reasonably
acceptable to Landlord;
<PAGE>

(vi)     that Tenant has and will continue to have unencumbered assets after
the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses adequate to
assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease;

(vii)     that if Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same
(pursuant to Title 11 U.S.C.  365, or as the same may be amended) to any person
or entity who/which shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of
this Lease on terms acceptable to such court having competent jurisdiction over
Tenant's estate, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth (x) the
name and address of such person or entity, (y) all of the terms and conditions
of such offer, and (z) if required by law or by any court, the adequate
assurance to be provided Landlord to assure such person's or entity's future
performance under this Lease, including, without limitation, the assurances
referred to in Title 11 U.S.C. S365(b)(3) , as it may be amended, shall be given
to Landlord by Tenant no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of
such offer, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date
that Tenant shall make application to such court for authority and approval to
enter into such assignment and assumption, and Landlord shall thereupon have the
prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time
prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept, or to cause
Landlord's designee to accept, an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms
and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer
made by such person or entity, less any brokerage commissions which may be
payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person or entity for the
assignment of this Lease; and

(viii)   that if Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same,
and Landlord does not exercise its option pursuant to paragraph (vii) of this
Section 18.04, Tenant hereby agrees that:

a.     such  assignee  shall  have  a  net  worth not less than the net worth of
Tenant  as  of  the  Opening Date, or such Tenant's obligations under this Lease
shall  be unconditionally guaranteed by a person or an entity having a net worth
equal  to  Tenant's  net  worth  as  of  the  Opening  Date;

b.     such assignee shall not use the Demised Premises except subject to all
restrictions contained in this Lease;

c.     such assignee shall assume in writing all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease including, without limitation, all of such terms,
covenants and conditions respecting the permitted use and payment of Rent, and
such assignee shall provide Landlord with assurances satisfactory to Landlord
that it has the experience in operating gaming enterprises similar to that to be
conducted by Tenant hereunder, sufficient to enable it to so comply with all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and successfully operate the
Demised Premises for such use; and

d.     if such assignee makes any payment to Tenant, or for Tenant's account,
for the right to assume this Lease (including, without limitation, any lump sun
payment, installment payment or payment in the nature of rent over and above the
Rent payable under this Lease), Tenant shall pay over to Landlord one-quarter
(1/4) of any such payment.
<PAGE>

Section  18.05     CONTINUED  OBLIGATION.
                   ---------------------

A.     No  expiration  or termination of this Lease or relief sought or obtained
by  Landlord or Tenant hereunder relieve Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be,
of  its  liability  and  obligations  under  this  Lease, and such liability and
obligations  shall  survive any such expiration or termination or enforcement or
attempted  enforcement  of  relief  hereunder.

B.     In the event that the Demised Premises or any part thereof be re-let by
Landlord for the unexpired term of this Lease, or any part thereof, before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, then the amount
of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall, prima facie, be the fair and
                                             ----- -----
reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Demised Premises so
re-let during the term of the re-letting.  Nothing herein contained shall limit
or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain, as liquidated
damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by
any statute or rule of law in affect at the time when, and governing the
proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount
be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to
above.

Section  18.06     WAIVER  BY TENANT.  Tenant hereby expressly waives, so far as
                   -----------------
permitted  by  law,  the service of any notice of intention to re-enter provided
for  in any statute and, except as is herein otherwise provided, Tenant, for and
on  behalf  of  itself  and  all  persons and entities claiming through or under
Tenant  (including  any  leasehold mortgagee or other creditor), also waives any
and all right of redemption or re-entry or re-possession in case Tenant shall be
     dispossessed  by  a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case
of  re-entry  or  re-possession  by  Landlord  or  in  case of any expiration or
termination of this Lease.  The terms "enter", "re-enter", "entry" or "re-entry"
as  used  in  this  Lease  are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

Section 18.07     NO WAIVER BY LANDLORD OR TENANT.  No failure by Landlord or
                  -------------------------------
Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or
condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach of any
agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof, and no acceptance of full or
partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a
waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition.  No
agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof to be performed or complied with
by Tenant or Landlord, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or
modified except by a written instrument executed by the non-breaching party.  No
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every
agreement, term, covenant and condition hereof shall continue in full force and
effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.
<PAGE>

Section 18.08     INJUNCTION.  In the event of any breach or threatened breach
                  ----------
by Tenant or Landlord of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions
contained in this Lease, Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to
invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise as though other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

Section 18.09     CUMULATIVE RIGHTS.  Each right and remedy provided to Landlord
                  -----------------
or Tenant in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

Section 18.10     MITIGATION.  While Landlord shall be entitled to pursue each
                  ----------
and every remedy hereunder as provided above, Landlord shall have the obligation
to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate its damages hereunder by seeking a
new tenant after Landlord has terminated this Lease.

Section 18.11     DEFAULT BY LANDLORD; TENANT REMEDIES.  Should Landlord
                  ------------------------------------
materially default in the performance or observance of any covenant or agreement
of this Lease, or any obligation of Landlord under the Development Agreement or
any Exhibit thereto, which default is not cured within ten (10) days after the
giving of notice thereof by Tenant, unless such default is of such a nature that
it cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period, in which case no
default by Landlord shall occur so long as Landlord shall commence the curing of
the default within such ten (10) day period and shall thereafter diligently
prosecute the curing of same; provided, however, if Landlord shall default in
performance of any such covenant or agreement of this Lease, the Development
Agreement or any Exhibit thereto two (2) or more times in any twelve (12) month
period, then notwithstanding that each of such defaults shall have been cured by
Landlord, any further default of such covenant or agreement within such twelve
(12) month period shall be deemed a default without cure thereof.  If Landlord
does not timely cure such a default, Tenant shall have such legal and equitable
remedies as are provided by law for such a default.

     All  costs  and  expenses  incurred by Tenant (including without limitation
reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  in  enforcing any of its rights or remedies under
this  Lease  shall  be  paid  to  Tenant  by  Landlord  upon  demand.

                               Renewal Privileges

Section  19.01     EIGHT  RENEWAL  TERMS.  If  this  Lease shall be in force and
                   ---------------------
effect  on  the date for the expiration of the initial term hereof, Tenant shall
automatically be deemed to have elected a renewal of the term hereby granted for
a  period  of  five (5) years beginning with the date of such expiration of
such  initial term, provided, however, that Tenant shall not have given Landlord
at  least  twelve  (12)  months prior written notice negating such election.  If
this  Lease  shall  be in force and effect on the date for the expiration of the
first  renewal term hereof, Tenant shall automatically be deemed to have elected
a  second  renewal  of  the  term  hereby granted for a period of five (5) years
<PAGE>

beginning  with the date of such expiration of the first renewal term, provided,
however,  that  Tenant shall not have given Landlord at least twelve (12) months
prior written notice negating such election. If this Lease shall be in force and
effect on the date for the expiration of the second renewal term thereof, Tenant
shall automatically be deemed to have elected a third renewal of the term hereby
granted  for  a  period  of  five  (5)  years  beginning  with  the date of such
expiration  of the second renewal term, provided, however, that Tenant shall not
have  given  Landlord  at least twelve (12) months prior written notice negating
such  election.  If  this Lease shall be in force and effect on the date for the
expiration  of  the  third  renewal  term thereof, Tenant shall automatically be
deemed  to have elected a fourth renewal of the term hereby granted for a period
of  five  (5)  years  beginning  with  the  date of such expiration of the third
renewal  term,  provided,  however, that Tenant shall not have given Landlord at
least  twelve  (12) months prior written notice negating such election.  If this
Lease  shall be in force and effect on the date for the expiration of the fourth
renewal  term  thereof,  Tenant  shall automatically be deemed to have elected a
fifth  renewal  of  the  term  hereby  granted  for  a  period of five (5) years
beginning with the date of such expiration of the fourth renewal term, provided,
however,  that  Tenant shall not have given Landlord at least twelve (12) months
prior  written  notice  negating such election.  If this Lease shall be in force
and  effect  on  the  date  for the expiration of the fifth renewal term hereof,
Tenant shall automatically be deemed to have elected a sixth renewal of the term
hereby  granted  for  a period of five (5) years beginning with the date of such
expiration  of  the fifth renewal term, provided, however, that Tenant shall not
have  given  Landlord  at least twelve (12) months prior written notice negating
such  election.  If  this Lease shall be in force and effect on the date for the
expiration  of  the  sixth  renewal  term  hereof, Tenant shall automatically be
deemed to have elected a seventh renewal of the term hereby granted for a period
of  five  (5)  years  beginning  with  the  date of such expiration of the sixth
renewal  term,  provided,  however, that Tenant shall not have given Landlord at
least  twelve  (12) months prior written notice negating such election.  If this
Lease  shall  be  force and effect on the date for the expiration of the seventh
renewal  term  hereof,  Tenant  shall automatically be deemed to have elected an
eighth  renewal  of  the  term  hereby  granted  for  a period of five (5) years
beginning  with  the  date  of  such  expiration  of  the  seventh renewal term,
provided,  however,  that  Tenant  shall not have given Landlord at least twelve
(12)  months  prior  written notice negating such election.  Tenant acknowledges
that  a  provision of the charter of the City may impose a fifty (50) year limit
on  the  term of the City Lease, which limit may affect the length of the eighth
renewal  of  the  term  of  this Lease.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any
resulting  limitation  on  the  length of the eighth renewal only of the term of
this  Lease  shall  not give rise to any claim of default under or invalidity of
this  Lease  or  any  extension hereof.  This Lease shall not be deemed to be or
have  been  in  force and effect on any date on which Tenant shall be in default
hereunder.  Each  such  renewal term shall be upon the same terms and conditions
as contained herein for the initial term (and applicable renewal term(s)) except
for  the  diminishing  of  the  number  of  renewal terms remaining as each such
renewal  term  expires and except that as to each such renewal term, the Minimum
Net Rent payable during same (in equal annual installments as to the Minimum Net
Rent)  shall  be  increased from the Minimum Net Rent payable during the initial
term  hereof  by  the percentage of change in the Consumer Price Index as of the
Opening Date to the Consumer Price Index as of the first day of any such renewal
term.  For  the purposes of this Section 19.01, the "Consumer Price Index" means
the  Consumer  Index  for  all  urban consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, United States City Average,
all items (1982 equals 100). If no such Index is then being published, as of the
first day of any such renewal term, then Landlord shall designate a successor or
replacement  index of substantially equivalent reliability and objectivity.  The
Consumer  Price  Index  in effect for any given date shall be deemed to refer to
the  Consumer  Price  Index  last  established  before  such  date.
<PAGE>

Section 19.02     NO WAIVER OR RELEASE.  No renewal term hereunder shall be
                  --------------------
evidence of a waiver or release of any default or claim of either party hereto
against the other.  Any unsatisfied claim of either party hereto against the
other under the terms of this Lease during the initial Term or any renewal term
shall survive and be deemed to be a similar default or claim under any
subsequent renewal term.
