                           PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

                          AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

                  THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW
INSTRUCTIONS (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as of August 31,
1999 (the "EXECUTION DATE"), by and between HBR REALTY COMPANY, INC., a
Nevada corporation ("HBR"), and IOWA WEST RACING ASSOCIATION, NONPROFIT
CORPORATION, an Iowa nonprofit corporation ("IWRA"), for the purpose of
setting forth the agreement of the parties and of instructing FIDELITY
NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY ("ESCROW AGENT") with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                                 R E C I T A L S

                  A. IWRA is the owner of (i) an undivided fee simple
interest in that certain parcel of real property located in the City of
Council Bluffs, County of Pottawattamie, State of Iowa, as more particularly
described on EXHIBIT "A" attached hereto (the "LAND PARCEL"), together with

"GAMING FACILITY"), and (ii) a leasehold interest in certain parcels of real
property located in the City of Council Bluffs, County of Pottawattamie,
State of Iowa, and in the City of Omaha, County of Douglas, State of
Nebraska, each as more particularly described on EXHIBIT "B" attached hereto
(collectively, the "LEASED PROPERTIES").

                  B. The Land Parcel, together with the Leased Properties,
the Improvements, the balance of the "Real Property," the "Personal
Property," the "Intangible Property," and the "Net Working Capital" (each as
hereinafter defined), are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"PROPERTY."

                  C. Subject to the receipt of any and all permits, consents
and approvals necessary from any "Governmental Authority" (as hereinafter
defined), including, without limitation, the Iowa Racing and Gaming

                                A G R E E M E N T

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, HBR and IWRA
hereby agree, and instruct Escrow Agent, as follows:

1.       AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL.

                  Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
IWRA agrees to sell, transfer and convey to HBR, and HBR agrees to acquire and
purchase from IWRA, the Property, upon and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

2.       CONSIDERATION.

                  2.1 CONSIDERATION. The consideration for the Property (the
"CONSIDERATION") shall be (i) One Hundred Thirty Nine Million Six Hundred
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($139,600,000.00) plus (ii) an amount equal to the
present value of certain projected tax savings (the "INITIAL TAX SAVINGS
PAYMENT") to be realized by HBR calculated as of the "Closing Date" (as
hereinafter defined) in accordance with SCHEDULE 2.1 attached hereto.

                  2.2 HOLDBACK. At "Closing" (as hereinafter defined), Forty
Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($45,000,000.00), without interest (the
"HOLDBACK"), of the Consideration shall not be paid by HBR but shall become
payable only in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below:

                           2.2.1  REFERENDUM APPROVAL.  On or before the
"Referendum Payment Date" (as hereinafter defined), HBR shall pay to IWRA, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds (x) the Holdback, plus (y) Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), without interest (the "BONUS"),
unless either (i) the proposition to approve gambling games at pari-mutuel
racetrack enclosures, submitted to the county electorate at the 2002 general
election pursuant to the requirements of Iowa Code Section 99F.7, subsection
10, subparagraph "d" as in effect on the date hereof (the "REFERENDUM"),
shall not have been approved, or (ii) as of the Referendum Payment Date, a
slots casino cannot continue to be operated at the Gaming Facility under
then-applicable law, PROVIDED, that if a "Referendum Challenge" (as
hereinafter defined) shall have been brought prior to the Referendum Payment
Date, then,

                                     2

<PAGE>

subject to any payment obligation under Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, HBR shall not
be obligated to pay the Holdback or the Bonus. Passage of the Referendum is
hereinafter referred to as "REFERENDUM APPROVAL," the date the results of the
Referendum are certified to the County Auditor of Pottawattamie County, Iowa is
hereinafter referred to as the "REFERENDUM DATE," and the fifth (5th) "Business
Day" (as hereinafter defined) after the Referendum Date is hereinafter referred
to as the "REFERENDUM PAYMENT DATE."

                           2.2.2   FAILURE OF REFERENDUM APPROVAL WITHOUT
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. If Referendum Approval is not obtained or if HBR is
not required to pay the Holdback and the Bonus due to the existence of a
Referendum Challenge, but the operation of a slots casino at the Gaming
Facility can continue through December 31, 2003 without being interrupted as
a result of the Referendum or any Referendum Challenge (other than one or
more interruptions totaling an aggregate of no more than four weeks during
such period), then HBR shall have no obligation to pay the Holdback or the
Bonus. In such circumstance, HBR shall be obligated to pay to IWRA, by wire
transfer in immediately available funds, an amount equal to Ten Million and
No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), without interest (the "ANNIVERSARY
PAYMENT"), on December 31, 2003. If the Anniversary Payment has been earned,
then on the last day of each complete calendar quarter after December 31,
2003 during which HBR can continue to operate a slots casino at the Gaming
Facility, HBR shall be obligated to pay to IWRA by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, a payment of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00), without interest (the "QUARTERLY
PAYMENTS"), PROVIDED, that HBR's obligations to make Quarterly Payments shall
terminate if such operations are interrupted after December 31, 2003 as a
result of the Referendum or a Referendum Challenge, such termination to be
effective for the quarter in which the interruption occurred and all
subsequent quarters. The maximum number of Quarterly Payments shall be as
follows: (a) if the Referendum Approval shall not have been obtained, eight
(8); or (b) if the Referendum Approval was obtained, but HBR is not required
to pay the Holdback and the Bonus because of the existence of a Referendum
Challenge, sixteen (16), each of (a) and (b) shall be reduced as necessary to
reflect any payments made pursuant to Section 2.2.3 hereof.

                           2.2.3  REFERENDUM CHALLENGES.  If any judicial,
administrative or other legal proceeding which seeks to void, delay,
challenge or otherwise contest the results of a Referendum Approval (each, a
"REFERENDUM CHALLENGE") is brought following Referendum Approval, but prior
to the Referendum Payment Date, then, subject to the provisions of Section
2.2.2, HBR shall not be obligated to pay the



                                     3

<PAGE>

Holdback or the Bonus unless and until (i) all such Referendum Challenges
have been dismissed or otherwise denied to the reasonable satisfaction of
HBR, or (ii) not earlier than the 180th day following the Referendum Date,
IWRA shall have provided HBR with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
acceptable to HBR, that such Referendum Challenge is substantially without
merit and likely to fail. Subject to the provisions of this section, if
condition (i) or (ii) above is satisfied, HBR shall pay to IWRA, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, the Holdback and the Bonus (minus
any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.2.2 hereof, and plus interest at the
rate of 6% per annum from the Referendum Date to the date such amounts were
actually paid), not later than five (5) Business Days following the
satisfaction of such condition (the "CHALLENGE PAYMENT DATE"). If, prior to
December 31, 2005, HBR makes any payment pursuant to Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or
2.2.3(ii), and as a result of any Referendum Challenge brought prior to, or
within 180 days after, the Referendum Date, HBR cannot continue to operate a
slots casino at the Gaming Facility, IWRA shall reimburse HBR for all amounts
paid pursuant to Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 hereof, less any amounts that
would have been paid pursuant to Section 2.2.2 if the Referendum Approval had
not been obtained. Any reimbursement shall include interest at the rate of 6%
per annum, from the date HBR made such reimbursable payment to IWRA to the
date IWRA makes such reimbursement to HBR. Prior to the Challenge Payment
Date, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings under Section 18.9
hereunder to challenge the other party's determination that condition (i) or
(ii) is or is not satisfied. The prevailing party in such arbitration shall
be entitled to payment of reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred in
connection with such arbitration, and all payment obligations of HBR shall be
suspended during the pendency of any such arbitration. If the arbitrators
determine that any suspended payment was due to IWRA, HBR shall pay such
amount, plus interest at the rate of 8% per annum, from the date such payment
was determined to have been due until the date such amount is paid.

                           2.2.4  RIGHT OF OFFSET.  If, on any date that
payment is due to IWRA under this Section 2.2, IWRA owes HBR monies pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement (other than Section 2.2.1), the Lease by and
between HBR and IWRA, attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C" (the "LEASE"), or the
Management Agreement by and between IWRA and Harveys BR Management Company,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("MANAGER"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT "D" (the
"MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), then HBR shall be entitled to offset such amounts
against payments due to IWRA as follows: (i) if such amounts are owed to HBR
pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof, then HBR may offset such amounts from any
payment owed to IWRA, and (ii) if such amounts are owed to HBR pursuant to
any other section of this Agreement, the Lease



                                     4

<PAGE>

or the Management Agreement such amount shall have been reduced to a final
judgment, not subject to appeal, at which time HBR may offset such amounts
from any payment owed to IWRA. In the event that HBR intends to offset any
amounts, it shall notify IWRA at least five (5) Business Days prior to such
offset, PROVIDED, that the failure to make such notice shall not adversely
affect HBR's right to make such offset. If IWRA disputes any offset, it may
initiate arbitration proceedings under Section 18.9 hereunder to challenge
any such offset within thirty (30) Business Days of the date IWRA receives
notice of such offset from HBR. The prevailing party in such arbitration
shall be entitled to payment of reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred
in connection with such arbitration. If the arbitrators determine that any
amounts offset by HBR should have been paid to IWRA, HBR shall pay such
amounts, plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum, from the date such
payments were determined to have been due until the date such amounts are
paid.

                           2.2.5  CERTAIN RIGHTS ASSIGNABLE.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 18.6.1 of this Agreement, IWRA may assign its
rights to payment of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.2 to Iowa
West Foundation, an Iowa nonprofit corporation (the "FOUNDATION"), PROVIDED,
that the Foundation shall have executed an agreement to bound by the terms of
this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of notice from IWRA that such assignment has
occurred, HBR shall make such payments directly to the Foundation in
accordance with this Section 2.2.

                  2.3 LETTER OF CREDIT. HBR's obligations pursuant to Section
2.2.1 and payments due in the event of an unsuccessful Referendum Challenge
under Section 2.2.3 hereof shall be supported by an irrevocable letter of
credit on the terms set forth on Schedule 2.3 attached hereto (the "LETTER OF
CREDIT"), which Letter of Credit shall be delivered on the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 8.3.4 hereof. On the Closing Date, Escrow Agent shall
deliver the Letter of Credit to First National Bank of Omaha ("L/C ESCROW
AGENT") to be held pursuant to the terms and conditions below. The reasonable
fees and expenses of the L/C Escrow Agent shall be paid by HBR.

                           2.3.1  DRAWS ON THE LETTER OF CREDIT.  If HBR is
obligated to pay the Holdback and the Bonus to IWRA in full pursuant to
Sections 2.2.1 or 2.2.3, but HBR fails to make such payment when due, then
IWRA shall send HBR a notice of such failure. If HBR does not pay the
Holdback to IWRA within two (2) Business Days of HBR's receipt of IWRA's
notice, then, subject to Section 2.3.3 below, IWRA and HBR shall each deliver
a notice executed by such party which instructs L/C Escrow Agent to draw on
the amount of the Letter of Credit to the extent of any shortfall in the
payment of the Holdback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary



                                      5


<PAGE>



herein, subject to the terms of Section 2.3.2 below, L/C Escrow Agent shall
draw on the entire stated amount of the Letter of Credit on the third (3rd)
Business Day prior to the expiry date thereof, unless on or before such date,
HBR delivers to L/C Escrow Agent (i) an extension of such expiring Letter of
Credit, (ii) a replacement letter of credit substantially on the same terms
as the Letter of Credit, or (iii) an amount of cash equal to the stated
amount of the expiring Letter of Credit.

                           2.3.2  CANCELLATION OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT.
Within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of either (i) the Referendum
Date, if Referendum Approval is not obtained; or (ii) the later of HBR's
payment of the Holdback and the Bonus as set forth in Sections 2.2.1 or
2.2.3, if the Referendum Approval is obtained; IWRA and HBR shall deliver a
notice executed by each party which instructs L/C Escrow Agent to cancel the
Letter of Credit. If a Referendum Challenge is pending and HBR makes any
payment to IWRA under Section 2.2.2 hereof, IWRA and HBR shall deliver a
notice executed by each party which instructs L/C Escrow Agent to reduce the
amount of the Letter of Credit accordingly.

                           2.3.3  DISPUTES.  In the event that HBR and IWRA
have any dispute regarding any matter governed by this Section 2.3, then they
shall submit their dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Section
18.9 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event
that there is a dispute between the parties as to any amount to be disbursed
from L/C Escrow Agent to IWRA, then (i) with respect to the amounts in
dispute, L/C Escrow Agent shall hold such amount or the Letter of Credit
supporting such amount in escrow and shall not disburse any disputed amounts
until the dispute is resolved pursuant to a written agreement between HBR and
IWRA or a written determination of the arbitrator pursuant to Section 18.9
hereof and (ii) with respect to amounts not in dispute, HBR and IWRA shall
instruct L/C Escrow Agent to disburse the undisputed amounts to IWRA in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the parties receipt of an
exe cuted decision of an arbitrator with respect to any amount held by L/C
Escrow Agent, HBR and IWRA shall deliver instructions to L/C Escrow Agent to
disburse such amounts in accordance with such arbitrator's decision.

                  2.4 ALLOCATION OF THE CONSIDERATION. The Consideration
(less any payments required under Section 2.2 hereof) shall be allocated
among the Property in accordance with section 1060 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), and the Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder, and such allocations shall be reflected on EXHIBIT
"E" attached hereto. HBR and IWRA agree to file their respective United
States federal and state income "Tax Returns" (as defined below),



                                     6


<PAGE>

including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, in a manner consistent with
EXHIBIT "E" as such exhibit may be adjusted, from time to time. Prior to the
Closing, EXHIBIT "E" shall be prepared by HBR and be reasonably acceptable to
IWRA. Any additional Consideration paid pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall be
allocated pursuant to section 1060 of the Code and in a manner consistent with
the allocations as set forth on EXHIBIT "E".

30       OPENING OF ESCROW.

                  On or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the
Execution Date, HBR and IWRA shall cause an escrow ("ESCROW") to be opened
with Escrow Agent by delivery to Escrow Agent of a fully executed copy of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute escrow instructions to Escrow
Agent as well as the agreement of the parties. Escrow Agent is hereby
appointed and designated to act as Escrow Agent and instructed to deliver,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the documents and funds to be
deposited into Escrow as herein provided. The parties hereto shall execute
such additional escrow instructions (not inconsistent with this Agreement as
determined by counsel for HBR and IWRA) as Escrow Agent shall deem reasonably
necessary for its protection, including Escrow Agent's general provisions (as
may be modified by HBR, IWRA and Escrow Agent). In the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and such additional
escrow instructions, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

40       ACTIONS PENDING CLOSING.

                  4.1  DUE DILIGENCE.

                           4.1.1  PROPERTY DOCUMENTS.  Prior to the Execution

review and copying, true, correct and complete copies of all contracts,
organizational and corporate documents, collective bargaining agreements,
employment documents and records, correspondence, books, ledgers, files and
any and all other materials relating to the Property (other than business

nonprofit status), audited and unaudited financial statements for the past
three (3) years, incorporation documents, corporate by-laws and minutes,
standard operating procedure manuals or guidelines, business plans,
documentation regarding human resource programs or policies, personnel

of any nature, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Gaming
Commission, the Administrator of the Gaming Commission, the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice
(collectively, the "GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES" and each, a "GOVERNMENTAL
AUTHORITY") regarding the Property, all property tax statements and assessed
value notices, and all insurance policies (collectively, the "PROPERTY
DOCUMENTS"), to the extent that the same were in its possession and IWRA has
used its best efforts to cause its agents, auditors or independent
contractors to deliver the same to HBR after a diligent review and
examination of their respective files and records.

                           4.1.2  HBR'S DILIGENCE TESTS.  At all reasonable
times during the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending on the
Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, HBR, its agents
and representatives shall be entitled to: (a) enter onto the Property at all
reasonable times so long as reasonable advance notice has been given to IWRA,
to perform any inspections, investigations, studies and tests of the
Property, including, without limitation, physical, structural, mechanical,
architectural, engineering, soils, geotechnical and environmental tests, that
HBR deems reasonable; (b) cause an environmental assessment of the Property
to be performed, upon reasonable notice to IWRA; (c) review all Property
Documents  and examine and copy any and all books and records maintained by
IWRA or its agents (including, without limitation, all documents relating to
utilities, zoning and the access, subdivision and appraisal of, and all legal
requirements affecting, the Property); and (d) investigate such other matters
as HBR may reasonably desire. The parties shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain an environmental report and assessment reasonably
acceptable to HBR (the "PHASE I REPORT") as soon as reasonably practicable.
HBR shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless IWRA from all claims,
liens and encumbrances (including, without limitation, any

                                     8


<PAGE>

claim for a mechanic's lien or materialman's lien), causes of action, costs,
losses, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by IWRA in connection
with or arising out of any inspections or tests carried on, by or on behalf
of HBR pursuant to this Section 4.1.2; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that HBR shall not
indemnify IWRA for any claim, loss or cause of action caused by IWRA's
negligence or willful misconduct or any physical condition existing on the
Property prior to HBR's or its agent's entry thereon. HBR's indemnity
obligation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the
Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

                  4.2  TITLE MATTERS.

                           4.2.1  ABSTRACT OF TITLE.  IWRA has caused a
continuation of the abstract of title for the Real Property (the "ABSTRACT OF
TITLE") to be completed and delivered to the Law Offices of Curtis J.
Heithoff, Attorney at Law, HBR's Iowa local counsel ("HBR'S LOCAL COUNSEL").
HBR's Local Counsel has examined and prepared an attorney's title opinion
(the "TITLE OPINION") addressed to Fidelity National Title Insurance Company
(in such capacity, "TITLE COMPANY"). The Abstract of Title shall become the
property of HBR on the Closing Date, and shall show marketable title, subject
to "Permitted Exceptions" (as defined below) in conformity with this
Agreement, the land title law of the State of Iowa, and the Iowa Title
Standards of the Iowa State Bar Association.

                           4.2.2  DELIVERIES BY IWRA.  IWRA has caused:  (a)
Title Company to issue and deliver to HBR a current preliminary report for an
American Land Title Association (ALTA) extended coverage owner's policy of
title insurance for the Property (the "PTR"); (b) Title Company to deliver to
HBR legible copies of all documents referenced as exceptions in the PTR
(collectively, the "UNDERLYING DOCUMENTS"); (c) a search for filings (at the
State and County in which the Property is located and at the State of
formation of IWRA) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code with regard to
the Personal Property (the "UCC SEARCH") to be performed and delivered to
HBR; and (d) a surveyor licensed in the State of Iowa to prepare and deliver
to HBR and Title Company a current as-built survey for the Property (the
"SURVEY"), in a form reasonably satisfactory to HBR and Title Company, made
in accordance with ALTA / ACSM minimum technical standards and the laws of
the State of Iowa, certified to HBR (and its nominees), Title Company, IWRA
and, at the request and expense of HBR, to any other person, limited
partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, or any
other entity (collectively, "PERSON") as HBR may reasonably request, showing
the entire Real Property, all adjoining streets and roads (including, without
limitation, the points of ingress and



                                     9


<PAGE>



regress thereto), the exact location by metes and bounds and the exact
dimensions of the Land Parcel and any buildings and structures located
thereon, a legal description of the Land Parcel, the flood zone designation
of the Real Property, the exact location of any Improvements, set back lines,
protrusions, encroachments, parking spaces and easements on and upon the Real
Property, together with all rights-of-way and other matters relating to the
Real Property. The PTR, the Underlying Documents, the UCC Search and the
Survey shall be collectively referred to herein as the "TITLE DOCUMENTS."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge that, as of the
Execution Date, a final Survey has not yet been delivered by IWRA to HBR for
approval.

                           4.2.3  HBR'S REVIEW OF TITLE.  HBR shall have
until the fifteenth (15th) day following the receipt of all Title Documents
and the Phase I Report (the "DUE DILIGENCE TERMINATION DATE") to notify IWRA
in writing of any objection that HBR may have to any matters reported or
shown in the Title Documents (provided, however, that if any updates to the
Title Documents are received by HBR, HBR shall have an additional five (5)
Business Days, regardless of the passage of the Due Diligence Termination
Date, following HBR's receipt of such update and legible copies of all
documents referenced therein, to notify IWRA of objections to items shown on
any such update that were not disclosed on the previously delivered Title
Documents). Matters reported in or shown by the Title Documents (or any
updates thereof) and not timely objected to by HBR as provided above shall be
deemed to be "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS." As a condition to Closing, IWRA shall
take all reasonable action necessary to remove from title to the Property any
exceptions and matters so objected to by HBR, or, in the alternative, IWRA
shall obtain for HBR title insurance from Title Company insuring over such
exceptions or matters, such insurance to be in form and substance
satisfactory to HBR. If, prior to the Closing, IWRA is unable despite such
reasonable actions to remove or satisfactorily insure over any exceptions or
matters objected to by HBR, then HBR may, as its sole and exclusive remedy
therefor, either: (a) terminate this Agreement (in which case the parties
shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and
Title Company, and neither party shall thereafter have any rights or
obligations to the others hereunder, other than pursuant to Sections 4.1.2
and 8.7 and Article 15 hereof, which provisions shall survive the termination
of this Agreement); or (b) proceed to a timely Closing whereupon such
objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, IWRA shall
discharge and remove any and all liens affecting the Property that secure an
obligation to pay money (other than installments of real estate taxes not
delinquent



                                     10
<PAGE>

as of the Closing) (collectively, the "LIENS") and, even though HBR does not
expressly disapprove such Liens, such Liens shall not be Permitted Exceptions.

                           4.2.4  CONDITION OF TITLE AT CLOSING.  Upon the
Closing, IWRA shall transfer, contribute and convey to HBR fee simple title
to the Real Property by a duly executed and acknowledged general warranty
deed in the form of EXHIBIT "G" attached hereto (the "DEED"), subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions. Prior to the Closing, IWRA shall not take any
action or commit or suffer any acts that would give rise to a variance from
the current legal description of the Real Property, or cause the creation of
any exception or encumbrance against or respecting the Real Property without
the prior written consent of HBR, which consent may be withheld in HBR's sole
and absolute discretion. IWRA shall not directly or indirectly sell,
contribute, assign or create any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to
the Property, the Gaming License, or the Gaming Equipment, or create or
permit to exist thereon any lien, charge or encumbrance other than the
applicable Permitted Exceptions, or enter into any agreement to do any of
the foregoing, without the prior written consent of HBR (which consent may be
granted or withheld in HBR's sole and absolute discretion). Nothing in this
Section 4.2.4 shall preclude HBR from disapproving title matters in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.3 hereof.

                  4.3 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING THE CLOSING. From the
Execution Date through the Closing Date, IWRA shall conduct its operations
and business with respect to the Property in the ordinary and usual course of
business, consistent with all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, or court
or administrative orders or decisions of all applicable "Governmental
Authorities" (collectively, "LAWS") and past practice. In furtherance of the
immediately preceding sentence, IWRA shall use its best efforts to cause AIM,
Inc., an Iowa corporation ("CURRENT MANAGER"), its current property manager,
and all of IWRA's and/or Current Manager's employees to operate the Property
in the ordinary course of business, consistent with all Laws and past
practice. Current Manager shall be deemed to have reviewed this Agreement.

                           4.3.1 Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement,
prior to the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of HBR, IWRA
shall not:

                           (i)      mortgage or otherwise encumber or subject
to any lien any of the Property;

                           (ii)     sell, transfer or assign any of the
Property;


                                     11
<PAGE>

                           (iii)    enter into any contract with respect to
the Property which (a) is not terminable within ninety (90) days, or (b)
requires the approval of the Gaming Commission, unless with respect to (a)
and (b), a proposed copy of the contract, including, without limitation, any
agreements relating to greyhound purses, has been delivered to HBR and HBR
has not disapproved such contract within five (5) Business Days of its
receipt;

                           (iv)     take any actions with respect to the
development of the Property, including, without limitation, applying for,
pursuing, accepting or obtaining any permits, approvals or other development
entitlements from any Governmental Authority or finalizing or entering into
any agreements relating thereto without the prior written consent of HBR
(which consent may be granted or withheld in HBR's sole and absolute
discretion);

                           (v)      except as may be required by a change in
Law or in generally accepting accounting principles, change any of the
accounting practices, principles, or procedures employed as of the Execution
Date;

                           (vi)     unless required by a change in Law,
close, terminate or otherwise eliminate any activity historically conducted
on the Property;

                           (vii)    unless required by a change in Law, make
any material change to any practice or procedure relating to the employees of
IWRA, including, without limitation, any human resources procedures,
compensation and benefit programs, and salary or hourly wage amounts, except
ordinary merit pool increases or increases due to tenure in accordance with
past practice provided that, with respect to any employee, such increase
shall not exceed five percent (5%) of such employee's salary or hourly rate
prior to such increase without the prior written consent of HBR (which
consent may be granted or withheld in HBR's sole and absolute discretion);

                           (viii)   take or agree to take in writing or
otherwise, any actions prohibited in subsections (i) through (vii) above.

                  4.4   TRANSFERRED AND NON-TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES.

                           4.4.1  HBR will extend offers of continued
employment to all the employees of IWRA working at the Property as of or
immediately prior to the Closing Date for employment beginning immediately
after the Closing Date (other than the general manager (the "GENERAL
MANAGER") of the Property). Employees who accept such employment with HBR are
herein collectively referred to as the "TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES." For the
purposes of compensation, leave and benefit programs only, including tenure
provisions and vesting rights, each Transferred Employee shall retain as his
or her hire date, the most recent date he or she was hired by IWRA. The terms
and conditions of employment of such Transferred Employees, including
benefits, shall be at least equal to those provided to existing employees of
the entity affiliated with HBR that owns and operates the riverboat casino
located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, commonly known as Harvey's Casino Hotel.
Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in order to
accomplish an orderly transfer of the Transferred Employees. IWRA hereby
agrees to employ the General Manager upon such terms as HBR and the General
Manager shall agree to assist in such transition (the "TRANSITION EMPLOYMENT
PERIOD"). HBR shall be responsible for the General Manager's compensation and
benefits (as in effect on the Execution Date) during the Transition
Employment Period. IWRA shall use its best efforts to cause the General
Manager of the Property to cooperate with and aid in the orderly transfer of
the Property to HBR. Upon request by HBR prior to the end of the Transition
Employment Period, IWRA shall terminate the employment of the General
Manager following the Transition Employment Period. IWRA shall pay ninety
(90) days' severance pay to General Manager.

                           4.4.2  On or prior to the Closing Date, IWRA shall
terminate the employment of all Transferred Employees.

                           4.4.3  All obligations, debts, and liabilities
relating to any Transferred Employee, which (a) due and payable on or prior
to the Closing Date, (b) attributable to the period on or prior to the
Closing, (c) have accrued but are not due or payable on or prior to the
Closing (excluding, however, any obligations, debts or liabilities included
in the working capital adjustment set forth in Section 8.5 hereof which shall
be HBR's obligations), are the responsibility of IWRA and (d) any accrued
bonuses are the responsibility of IWRA and are to be paid to the Transferred
Employees by IWRA prior to or on the Closing Date.



                                     13

<PAGE>

                           4.4.4  All known obligations, debts, liabilities
and "Proceedings" (as hereinafter defined) relating to any and all employees
of IWRA that are not Transferred Employees (such employees being hereinafter
referred to as "NON-TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES") for periods prior to and
including the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all salaries,
accrued vacations, bonuses and liabilities under severance or employment
agreements for the Non-Transferred Employees, are the responsibility of IWRA.
IWRA shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to terminate
or not to terminate any or all of the Non-Transferred Employees. For any
Non-Transferred Employees that remain employees of IWRA from and after the
Closing Date, IWRA shall continue to assume any and all liabilities under any
health, welfare, insurance, disability, retirement or similar plans, policies
or arrangements and other liabilities or obligations concerning or relating
to Non-Transferred Employees and shall indemnify, defend and hold HBR
harmless from and against any and all Proceedings arising out of or relating
in any way to the employment, employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment or termination of employment by IWRA of any Non-Transferred
Employee, including, without limitation, any current or future Proceedings
regarding the violation of applicable Federal, state and local laws, rules
and regulations relating to immigration, discrimination, harassment, terms
and conditions of employment, work hours, wages, plant closings or mass
layoffs, child labor, occupational health and safety, and the payment and
withholding of taxes and other sums required by Governmental Authorities.

                           4.4.5  HBR and IWRA acknowledge and agree that,
(a) except as provided in Section 4.4.1 no representations or commitments
concerning the terms or conditions of employment by IWRA or HBR following the
Closing have been or will be given to any employees of IWRA, except as agreed
to in writing as a joint or individual communication to any employees of IWRA
and as may be required for any "effects bargaining" with the Union; (b)
except as HBR may otherwise agree in writing or as may be required by Law,
the employment of any Transferred Employee by HBR following the Closing shall
be on an at-will basis, and HBR (or any such Transferred Employee) may
terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or
without cause or notice; and (c) the terms and conditions of the Transferred
Employees' employment with HBR follow ing the Closing are subject to change
at any time with or without notice.

                  4.5 NOTICE OF CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; LITIGATION. IWRA
shall promptly notify HBR of any change (collectively, the "CHANGES") in any
condition with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or of any event
or circumstance of which IWRA obtains knowledge subsequent to the Execution
Date that (a) materially



                                     14


<PAGE>

affects the Property or any portion thereof, or the use or operation of the
Property or any portion thereof, (b) makes any representation or warranty of
IWRA to HBR under Article 9 of this Agreement untrue or misleading in any
material respect or (c) makes any covenant or agreement of IWRA under this
Agreement incapable or substantially less likely of being performed, it being
expressly understood that IWRA's obligation to provide information to HBR
under this Section 4.5 shall in no way relieve IWRA of any liability for a
breach by IWRA of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements under this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, on or before
the Closing Date, IWRA shall deliver to HBR written notice of any Changes of
which IWRA has knowledge that have occurred since or subsequent to the
Execution Date. In the event that any "Proceeding" of the character described
in Section 9.3 hereof is initiated prior to the Closing, IWRA shall promptly
advise HBR in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if IWRA becomes aware after the Execution Date of any Changes that
(i) make any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement (which
was true, correct and complete as of the Execution Date) untrue, incorrect or
incomplete or (ii) make any covenant or agreement of IWRA under this
Agreement (which was, as of the Execution Date, capable of being performed)
incapable or substantially less likely of being performed, to the extent that
such Changes are not a result of IWRA's breach of this Agreement, such
Changes shall not constitute a default by IWRA hereunder and shall have no
liability to HBR with respect thereto, but IWRA shall promptly notify HBR of
such Changes.

                  4.6 NO DEFAULTS. IWRA shall not default with respect to the
performance of any obligation relating to the Property, including, without
limitation, the payment of all amounts due and the performance of all
obligations with respect to any existing indebtedness or existing leases or
contracts affecting the Property.

                  4.7 EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION. Until the earlier to occur of
the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, IWRA shall (i) remove
the Property from the market, (ii) not authorize or permit any affiliate,
agent, partner, officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker,
attorney or other advisor or representative of IWRA (collectively, the "IWRA
PARTIES") to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit or initiate, or encourage
any inquiries regarding a transfer of the of the Property to any Person,
other than HBR, or (B) participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or take
any other action to facilitate the making of any proposal or offer that
constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with,

Status Sheet" attached hereto as EXHIBIT "L" (the "STATUS REPORT")
represents, as of the Execution Date, the year 2000 readiness status of
certain selected items. In particular, the column entitled "Status" on such
Status Report contains the following categories: "Awaiting Vendor Response,"
"Letter on File," "Testing Complete," and "Y2K Compliant." "AWAITING VENDOR
RESPONSE" shall mean that a letter has been forwarded to the applicable
vendor but no response has been received. "LETTER ON FILE" shall mean that a
letter from the vendor indicating the status of year 2000

                                     40
<PAGE>

readiness of the applicable item is on file and no further action has been
taken by IWRA. "TESTING COMPLETE" shall mean that the testing for Y2K
Compliance has been completed. "Y2K COMPLIANT" shall mean that the applicable
Software, system, item or device is designed to be used prior to, during and

operate during each such time period without error relating to the year 2000,
specifically including any error relating to, or the product of, date data
that represents or references different centuries or more than one century
and that it will accept, calculate, sort, extract, and otherwise process date
inputs and date values and return and display date values, in a consistent
manner regardless of the dates used, whether before, on or after January 1,
2000. To the best of IWRA's and Current Manager's knowledge and belief, the
Status Report accurately reflects year 2000 readiness of the items reflected
thereon. IWRA has relied on information from vendors and other third parties
in identifying, assessing, remediating and testing the Software, systems,
items and devices set forth on the Status Report. Therefore, IWRA makes no
"Year 2000 Compliant" representation or warranty regarding ultimate year 2000
readiness of any Software, system, item or device. However, to the extent
such representations or warranties are provided by the manufacturer and/or
supplier of any Software, system, item or device and are transferable, IWRA
agrees to transfer to HBR at Closing, the benefits of any such representation
or warranty provided by the manufacturer and/or supplier of such Software,
system, item or device . Notwithstanding the foregoing, IWRA hereby agrees
that prior to the Closing, the time and attendance software and, if
available, the keno system software shall be upgraded to be Y2K Compliant.

responsible for any liability under the WARN Act or such similar statute or

responsible for any liability under the WARN Act or such similar statute or
any such "mass layoff" or "plant closing" by HBR after the Closing Date.

                  9.27 UTILITIES ACCESS. The Property has access to all
water, sewer, electric, natural gas, telephone, drainage facilities and all

material compliance with all requirements of Laws. All municipal charges for
water, sewer or solid waste disposal have been paid in full.

                  9.28 COMPLIMENTARIES. IWRA is not committed to any
complimentary arrangement for food or beverage for any guest or client as of
the Closing Date or any period thereafter which has not been taken into
account in determining its "current liabilities," as determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with IWRA's past
practice.

                  9.29 CUSTOMER DATABASE. To IWRA's knowledge, no employee,
representative, agent or member of IWRA has delivered, and IWRA shall not
knowingly permit any employee, representative, agent or member to deliver
IWRA's customer database file and records to a third party (other than
mailing houses processing such information on behalf of IWRA or Current
Manager) or allow a third party access to IWRA's customer database files and
records. IWRA employs an electronic player tracking system that collects and
stores information about guests and clients of the Gaming Facility,

or warranty by IWRA in this Agreement, nor any document, exhibit, statement,
certificate or schedule heretofore or hereinafter furnished to HBR by IWRA
pursuant hereto, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or
will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements or
facts contained therein not misleading.

                  9.31 AD VALOREM TAXES. The Real Property has not been
classified under any designation authorized by Law to obtain a special low ad
valorem tax rate or receive an abatement or deferment of ad valorem taxes
which, in such case, will result in additional, catch-up ad valorem taxes in
the future in order to recover the amounts previously abated or deferred. The
Real Property is not currently exempt from ad valorem taxes.

                  9.32 MECHANIC'S LIENS. No materials have been delivered to,

                  9.33 LIENS ON PERSONAL PROPERTY AND INTANGIBLE PROPERTY.
Subject only to the liens set forth on SCHEDULE 9.33 attached hereto and
incorporated herein, IWRA owns the Personal Property and the Intangible
Property, and on the Closing Date, IWRA shall sell and transfer the Personal
Property and the Intangible Property to HBR free and clear of all liens, claims,
pledges, security interests or other encumbrances.

                  9.34 CONDITION OF PROPERTY. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or in any of the Closing documents executed in connection
herewith, IWRA makes no representation or warranty as to the condition of the
Property and HBR is purchasing the Property "AS-IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS."


                  9.35 STIPULATED AGREEMENT. Reference is made to that certain
Stipulated Agreement, dated November 9, 1998 (the "STIPULATED AGREEMENT"), by
and between the Administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission and IWRA.
In connection with the Stipulated Agreement, IWRA has conducted an investigation
which included discussions with Current Manager, General Manager, licensed
engineers and other contractors and professionals relating to implementing a
plan for the modification of the exterior entrances of the Property to minimize
the potential entry into gaming areas of the Property by underage individuals
(the "MODIFICATIONS"). IWRA believes in good faith, following such
investigation, that, in light of prudent business practices and the effect such
Modifications may have upon customer traffic on the Property, the cost of
designing, constructing and implementing reasonable Modifications that would be
acceptable to the Gaming Commission will not exceed $150,000.00.

11.      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF IWRA.

                  In addition to the covenants and agreements of IWRA set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, IWRA covenants and agrees that:

                  11.1 GAMING LICENSE AND STATUS. IWRA shall use its best
efforts to (i) maintain in good standing the Gaming License, including, but not
limited to, making all timely filings and paying all fees required for the
continued use of the Gaming License; (ii) maintain IWRA's status as a nonprofit
corporation under all applicable Laws and pursuant to the licensing requirements
set forth in 99B.7 and 99D.8 of the Iowa Code; (iii) continue to meet all the
requirements of a license holder under 99F.7 of the Iowa Code or any other

promote those purposes enumerated in section 99B.7, subsection 3, paragraph "b"
of the Iowa Code.

                  11.3 PROMOTION OF GAMING. To the extent permitted by Law, IWRA
shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Foundation, and
each of their respective affiliates, members, directors, and officers to (i)
promote gaming activities in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, including, without
limitation, dog racing, land-based casinos, and riverboat casinos, and (ii)
preserve and advance the relationship between each of IWRA and the Foundation
and the City of Council Bluffs, the County of Pottawattamie, the State of Iowa
and all Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction over gaming activities. IWRA
shall use its reasonable best efforts to support any measures related to gaming
reasonably requested by HBR, including, without limitation, any law, referendum
or bill. Except as specifically permitted in Section 11.4 hereof, IWRA
acknowledges that its support or commencement of any lawsuit challenging the
State of Iowa's gaming tax laws would be a violation of this covenant.


                                      51
<PAGE>

                  11.4 LITIGATION. Other than any Proceeding commenced by IWRA
against HBR, from and after the date hereof, neither IWRA nor any of its
affiliates, members, directors, and officers or any other entity associated with
IWRA, shall commence or allow to be commenced on its behalf or join in any
Proceeding with respect to all or any portion of the Property, including,
without limitation, any Proceeding regarding the current tax rates applicable to
income generated from riverboat casinos and land-based casinos, without the
prior written consent of HBR, which consent may be withheld in HBR's sole and
absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, HBR agrees that
IWRA may join the lawsuit commenced by Racing Association of Central Iowa
against Michael Fitzgerald, Treasurer, State of Iowa, ET. AL, Equity No. 36601;
PROVIDED, THAT, IWRA shall (i) only be a passive participant in such lawsuit,
and (ii) use reasonable efforts to avoid and minimize any public announcements
or notices that identify IWRA's participation in such action. For purposes
hereof as a "passive participant," IWRA may: (a) move to intervene in such
lawsuit, (b) file joinders to motions, pleadings and briefs made by any other
party in such lawsuit, (c) appear at all hearings, depositions and at trial, (d)
join in discovery requests made by any other party in such lawsuit and respond
to discovery requests made upon IWRA, (e) produce evidence and call witnesses at

amounts awarded in such lawsuit; PROVIDED, FURTHER that as a "passive
participant" IWRA shall not: (x) initiate any dispositive motion (which shall
not prohibit joining in any dispositive motion made by another party or filing a
dispositive motion that is substantially similar to a pending dispositive motion
that was previously filed by another party in such lawsuit), (y) advance any
legal theory or argument which has not already been made by another party in
such lawsuit (which shall not prohibit private discussions regarding potential
legal theories or arguments among the parties to such litigation or their
counsel), or (z) take any action inconsistent with any of the foregoing.

                  11.5 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. In the event that any
Governmental Authority requires a change to be made to this Agreement, the
Lease, the Management Agreement and/or the transactions as contemplated by such
documents, IWRA hereby agrees to promptly and diligently negotiate in good faith
any such required changes so that neither HBR nor IWRA suffers any economic
detriment of more than $50,000 and each party's business objectives and economic
position as contemplated herein and in the Lease and the Management Agreement is
preserved to the fullest extent possible.


                                      52
<PAGE>

                  11.6 ACCOUNT FOR INDEMNITY CLAIMS. Commencing on the Closing
Date and continuing through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date,
IWRA shall maintain a segregated, unencumbered account (the "INDEMNITY ACCOUNT")
containing the maximum amount of funds which are permitted to be held by IWRA
under chapter 504(B) of the Iowa Code and section 99D.8 of the Iowa Code from
fees and other compensation received pursuant to the Sponsorship Agreement
(including any renewal or extension thereof) and any similar agreements or
arrangements IWRA has with other casino owners or operators. Except as required
by applicable Laws, the balance of the Indemnity Account shall not fall below
the funds received by IWRA (net of reasonable operating expenses) for the most
recent 250 days. The Indemnity Account shall be available for the payment of any
claims brought by HBR against IWRA which arise under or in connection with this
Agreement and are agreed upon by IWRA or finally determined by an arbitrator
pursuant to the terms of Section 18.9 hereof (including, without limitation,
Section 16.2 hereof, the Lease, or the Management Agreement). IWRA hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Indemnity Account shall not be HBR's sole
remedy for claims brought by HBR against IWRA and that HBR shall be entitled to
pursue any remedy available to it, whether at law or in equity.


12.      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF HBR.

                  12.1 CALCULATION OF THE CAP PAYMENT. If, at any time on or
before December 31, 2006, the State of Iowa sets a gaming tax rate which reduces
the tax applicable to the first $108,540,000 of net casino revenues earned at
the Gaming Facility (the "REDUCED GAMING TAX"), then HBR shall pay to IWRA an
amount (the "CAP PAYMENT") determined as follows:

                           12.1.1  Calculating the difference between the
present tax attributable to $108,540,000 (that being $38,244,000) and the tax
that would be applicable to $108,540,000 if the Reduced Gaming Tax were applied,
and multiplying said difference by 5.75; and

                           12.1.2 Subtracting from the amount calculated under
Section 12.1.1 above an amount equal to the nominal value of the portion of the
Initial Tax Savings Payment attributable to periods after the effective date of
the Reduced Gaming Tax.


                                      53
<PAGE>

                  12.2 DELIVERY OF THE CAP PAYMENT. HBR shall deliver any Cap
Payment due hereunder as follows:

                           12.2.1 If the later of (i) the date that the Reduced
Gaming Tax Rate becomes law, and (ii) the effective date of the Reduced Gaming
Tax Rate, if such date is different than the date set forth in clause (i) (the
"REDUCED GAMING TAX EFFECTIVE DATE"), is prior to January 1, 2001, then, at
IWRA's election, 66.66% of the Cap Payment shall be paid to IWRA in immediately
available funds not later than 180 days after the Reduced Gaming Tax Effective
Date; provided, that if IWRA elects not to offset any amounts owed pursuant to
this Section 12.2.1, such amounts shall accrue interest at six percent (6%) per
annum, and the remaining 33.33% of the Cap Payment (together with interest on
such amount accreting at 6% per annum) shall be paid to IWRA in immediately
available funds when and if HBR is obligated to pay the Holdback and the Bonus
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. If IWRA is not entitled to the Holdback and the
Bonus, IWRA shall forfeit 33.33% of the Cap Payment, together with any interest
thereon. If IWRA is required to reimburse any portion of the Holdback and the
Bonus to HBR, IWRA shall also reimburse at such time 33.33% of the Cap Payment
(together with interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum from the date
the Holdback and the Bonus were paid to IWRA to the date of reimbursement).

                           12.2.2 If the Reduced Gaming Tax Effective Date is on
or after January 1, 2001, but prior to January 1, 2002, then, at IWRA's
election, 33.33% of the Cap Payment shall be paid to IWRA in immediately
available funds not later than 180 days after the Reduced Gaming Tax Effective
Date; provided, that if IWRA elects not to offset any amounts owed pursuant to
this Section 12.2.2, such amounts shall accrue interest at six percent (6%) per
annum, and the remaining 66.66% of the Cap Payment (together with interest on
such amount accreting at 6% per annum) shall be paid to IWRA in immediately
available funds when and if HBR is obligated to pay the Holdback and the Bonus
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. If IWRA is not entitled to the Holdback and the
Bonus, IWRA shall forfeit 66.66% of the Cap Payment, together with any interest
thereon. If IWRA is required to reimburse any portion of the Holdback and the
Bonus to HBR, IWRA shall also reimburse at such time 66.66% of the Cap Payment
(together with interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum from the date
the Holdback and the Bonus were paid to IWRA to the date of reimbursement).

                           12.2.3 If the Reduced Gaming Tax Effective Date is on
or after January 1, 2002, then, at IWRA's election, 100% of the Cap Payment
shall be


                                      54
<PAGE>

paid to IWRA in immediately available funds not later than 180 days after HBR
is obligated to pay the Holdback and the Bonus pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof; provided, that if IWRA elects not to offset any amounts owed pursuant
to this Section 12.2.3, such amounts shall accrue interest at six percent
(6%) per annum. If IWRA is not entitled to the Holdback and the Bonus, IWRA
shall forfeit 100% of the Cap Payment, together with any interest thereon. If
IWRA is required to reimburse any portion of the Holdback and the Bonus to
HBR, IWRA shall also reimburse at such time 100% of the Cap Payment (together
with interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum from the date the
Holdback and the Bonus were paid to IWRA to the date of reimbursement).

                  12.3 CERTAIN RIGHTS ASSIGNABLE. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 18.6.1 of this Agreement, IWRA may assign its rights to payment of
any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 12.1 and 12.2 to the Foundation,
PROVIDED, that the Foundation shall have executed an agreement to bound by the
terms of Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice from
IWRA that such assignment has occurred, HBR shall make such payments directly to
the Foundation in accordance with Sections 12.1 and 12.2.


                  12.4 EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT. If prior to December 31, 2006, the
State of Iowa makes any further decreases to the effective gaming tax rate, the
parties shall make such payments and equitable adjustments to the terms hereof
as are necessary to effectuate the intent of Sections 2.1(ii) and 12.1 above. If
IWRA is not entitled to payment of the Holdback and the Bonus pursuant to
Sections 2.2.1 or 2.2.3, IWRA shall pay HBR an amount equal to the nominal value
of the portion of the Initial Tax Savings Payment attributable to periods after
the Referendum Date.

                  12.5 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. In the event that any
Governmental Authority requires a change to be made to this Agreement, the
Lease, the Management Agreement and/or the transactions as contemplated by such
documents, HBR hereby agrees to promptly and diligently negotiate in good faith
any such required changes so that neither IWRA nor HBR suffers any economic
detriment of more than $50,000 and each party's business objectives and economic
position as contemplated herein and in the Lease and the Management Agreement is
preserved to the fullest extent possible.

                  12.6 FINANCING. HBR shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain from a lender, as soon as reasonably practicable following the
Execution Date, a commitment letter (the "COMMITMENT LETTER") or a letter
agreeing to utilize its best


                                      55
<PAGE>

efforts to syndicate a credit facility to provide the financing for the
transactions contemplated hereunder (the "BEST EFFORTS LETTER"), each on
terms reasonably acceptable to HBR.

13.      RISK OF LOSS.


                  13.1 CONDEMNATION. If, prior to the Closing, all or any
"Material Portion" (as hereinafter defined) is taken by condemnation or eminent
domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated),
IWRA shall immediately notify HBR of such fact. In such event, HBR shall have
the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to IWRA given not
later than thirty (30) days after HBR's receipt of such notice from IWRA. Upon
such termination, the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if
any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company, and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to Sections 4.1.2 and 8.7
and Article 15 hereof, any provision hereof which expressly survives the
termination of this Agreement. HBR shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement as a result of any taking of any portion of the Property that is not a
Material Portion. If HBR does not elect or has no right to terminate this
Agreement, IWRA shall assign and turn over to HBR, and HBR shall be entitled to
receive and keep, all awards for the taking by condemnation and HBR shall be
deemed to have accepted the Property subject to the taking without reduction in
the Consideration. As used herein, the term "MATERIAL PORTION" shall mean any
portion having a value in excess of $100,000.

                  13.2 CASUALTY. Prior to the Closing and notwithstanding the
pendency of this Agreement, the entire risk of loss or damage by earthquake,
hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire or other casualty shall be borne and
assumed by IWRA. If, prior to the Closing any "Material Damage" (as hereinafter
defined) occurs to any portion of the Property as a result of earthquake,
hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire or other casualty, IWRA shall
immediately notify HBR of such fact. In such event, HBR shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to IWRA given not later than thirty
(30) days after HBR's receipt of such notice from IWRA. Upon such termination,
the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow
Agent and Title Company, and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to Sections 4.1.2 and 8.7 and Article
15 hereof. HBR shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of
any damage or destruction of any portion of the Property that does not
constitute Material Damage. If HBR does not elect or has no right to terminate
this Agreement, IWRA shall assign and turn over, and HBR shall be entitled to
receive


                                      56
<PAGE>

and keep, insurance proceeds relating to damage to the Property (other than
any insurance proceeds with respect to the Gaming Equipment) payable with
respect to such damage or destruction (which shall then be repaired or not at
HBR's option and cost) and HBR shall receive, as a credit against the
Consideration, an amount equal to the deductible amount with respect to the
insurance and the parties shall proceed to the Closing pursuant to the terms
hereof without modification of the terms of this Agreement. If HBR does not
elect or has no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of any casualty,
HBR shall have the right to participate in any adjustment of any insurance
claim. As used herein, the term "MATERIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or
destruction, the cost of repair of which exceeds $100,000.

14.      REMEDIES.

                  14.1 DEFAULT BY HBR. In the event that the Escrow and this
transaction fail to close solely as a result of the default of HBR in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then IWRA shall be entitled
to pursue any remedy available to them hereunder, at law or in equity, excluding
the remedy of specific performance.


                  14.2 DEFAULT BY IWRA. In the event that the Closing of the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement does not occur by reason of any
default by IWRA of its obligations under this Agreement, then HBR shall be
entitled to pursue any remedy available to it hereunder, at law or in equity,
including, without limitation, the specific performance of this Agreement.

15.      BROKERS.

                  15.1 IWRA'S BROKER. IWRA hereby represents, warrants to and
agrees with HBR that it has not had, and shall not have, any dealings with any
third party to whom the payment of any broker's fee, finder's fee, commission or
other similar compensation ("COMMISSION") shall or may become due or payable in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than with McCarthy &
Co. (the "BROKER"). IWRA agrees to pay all Commissions due and payable to the

and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges
and disbursements) incurred by HBR by reason of any breach or inaccuracy of the
representation, warranty and agreement of IWRA contained in this Section 15.1.

                              18.6.1  IWRA'S RIGHT TO ASSIGN.  IWRA shall not
have the right, power or authority to assign all or any portion of this
Agreement or its rights hereunder or to delegate any duties or obligations

                              18.6.2  HBR'S RIGHT TO ASSIGN.  HBR shall have the
right, power and authority to assign all or any portion of this Agreement or its

consent, to any affiliate of HBR; provided, however, that no such assignment or

Agreement.


                      18.7  SEVERABILITY.  Any provision or part of this
Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such situation and such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
extent of such invalidity and shall not affect the enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of any such
provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

                      18.8  SURVIVAL.  All representations and warranties made
by IWRA in Article 9, by HBR in Article 10 and all other representations and

Agreement, or the


                                      62
<PAGE>

breach, termination or validity hereof or thereof, shall be finally settled
by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect, as modified herein (the
"RULES"). The place of arbitration shall be Omaha, Nebraska. There shall be
three arbitrators, of whom HBR shall appoint one and IWRA shall appoint one
within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the respondent of the demand for
arbitration. The two arbitrators so appointed shall select the chair of the
arbitral tribunal within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second
arbitrator. If such arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit
provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Rules. Any arbitrator
appointed by the AAA shall be an experienced arbitrator who is either a
retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen years of
experience with large commercial cases. Any arbitration proceedings, decision
or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of
this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Iowa Arbitration Act,
Chapter 679A of the Iowa Code. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not
intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral
injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration
proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such
provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the
jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to
grant provisional remedies and to award damages for the failure of any party
to respect the arbitral tribunal's orders to that effect. Any decision or
award rendered hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties and
judgment upon such decision or award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

                      18.10  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; THIRD PARTIES.  Subject to
and without waiver of the provisions of Section 18.6 hereof, all of the rights,
duties, benefits, liabilities and obligations of the parties shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors and assigns. Except
as specifically set forth or referred to herein, nothing herein expressed or
implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors or permitted assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

                      18.11  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in as
many counterparts as may be deemed necessary and convenient, and by the
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

                      18.12  HEADINGS.  The Section headings of this Agreement

explain, restrict, alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any
provision hereof.

respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.

                      18.14  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  In addition to the actions
recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by
IWRA and HBR, IWRA and HBR agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to
be performed, executed and/or delivered at or after the Closing any and all such
further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation,
and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement secured pursuant to Section 17.1,
any instruments, and documents as may be reasonably requested by HBR's lender in
the financing of the acquisition of the Property. HBR and IWRA hereby further
agree to make available in a prompt and timely manner any information requested
from the Gaming Commission or any of its duly authorized representatives.

                      18.15  NUMBER AND GENDER.  Whenever the singular number is
used, and when required by the context, the same includes the plural, and the
masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter genders.

                      18.16  CONSTRUCTION.  This Agreement shall not be
construed more strictly against one party hereto than against any other party
hereto merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel
for one of the parties.

                      18.17  POST CLOSING ACCESS TO RECORDS.  Upon receipt by
IWRA of HBR's reasonable written request at anytime and from time to time within
a period of three (3) years after the Closing, IWRA shall make all of IWRA's
records relating to the Property available to HBR for inspection and copying (at

schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference as though set

                      18.19  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event that any party
hereto brings an action or proceeding against any other party to enforce or
interpret any of the


                                      64

prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover
all reasonable costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, charges, disbursements and the fees and
costs of expert witnesses.

                      18.20  BUSINESS DAYS.  As used herein, the term "BUSINESS
DAY" shall mean a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. In the
event that the date for the performance of any covenant or obligation under this
Agreement shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the date for
performance thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day.

                      18.21  AMENDMENT OR SUPPLEMENT.  This Agreement may be
amended or supplemented in writing by HBR and IWRA with respect to any of the
terms contained in this Agreement.
