dated November 26, 2007 (the “Sixth Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease and Development

C. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined, or redefined as the case may be,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties
contained herein, Landlord and Tenant agree to amend the Lease and Development Agreement as
follows:




A. Section 3(a) is amended and restated as follows:




“Commencement Date and Project Opening. The term of this Lease (the “Term”)
shall be deemed to have commenced on May 1, 2009 (the “Commencement Date”). For
purposes hereof, Commencement Date shall mean May 1, 2009. The Term shall expire on
the 99th anniversary of the day prior to the Commencement Date.
“Project Opening” shall mean March 4, 2010.”




B. Section 3(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety.



C. The introductory paragraph of Section 4 and Exhibit C entitled “Essential Elements” are
each amended to reflect that the number of required electronic gaming devices shall be “not less

D. The first sentence of Section 4(g) is amended and restated as follows:




“Tenant shall proceed in accordance with the applicable Work Schedule with
reasonable diligence to obtain all construction permits and to commence and complete
the Applicable Work in accordance with the applicable Plans.”




E. Section 4(h) is amended as follows:



1. The words “Project Opening” shall be substituted for the words “Commencement Date” in the

as shall be proposed by Landlord and concurred to by Tenant which concurrence shall not be
unreasonably withheld.”



F. Section 4(i) is amended by substituting the words “Project Opening” for the words
“Commencement Date” in the first sentence.




G. Section 4(m) is hereby amended and restated as follows:




“Composite Lease. Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall provide Landlord, for convenience of reference only, with a composite
version of the Lease and its seven amendments, with page inserts at appropriate
places incorporating all amended provisions, keyed to the Lease provisions so
amended, together with all new provisions included in the subsequent seven Lease
amendments.”




H. Section 4(v) entitled “NIMA Payments” is renumbered 4(w).




I. The following new section shall be added to the end of Section 4:




“(x) Park Property. Landlord shall consult with Tenant and obtain Tenant’s
concurrence regarding any proposed change in use to any portion of the Park Property
prior to making any such change or allowing any such change to be made, and the
parties agree to cooperate in good faith to enable other uses not reasonably likely
to be detrimental to the attractiveness of or businesses then being conducted on the
Property. Based on the foregoing criteria, Tenant’s consent to Landlord’s proposed
change in use shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In
satisfaction of Landlord’s obligations under Section 2(b) of the Lease to cooperate
fully with Tenant in connection with Tenant’s designation of easements affecting the
Park Property and to not unreasonably withhold its approval with respect to such
matters, Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant an Access Easement (whose term shall
be coterminous with the Term of this Lease and all renewals and extensions thereof,
or perpetual in the event of a sale or transfer of title to the Property to Grantee)
across the Park Property from Hoffmeister Road to the Property and the Park Property
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition, Tenant
shall execute and deliver to the Highway Department a maintenance agreement
satisfactory

to the Highway Department relating to the roads on the Property and Park Property. Conversely,
Tenant grants permission to the Landlord to use the Tenant’s private roadway from
the location where the Project Roadway is no longer a public road through the
Property to Landlord’s Park Property for the use of the public for access purposes
only to the Park Property provided that such use does not interfere with the use by
the Tenant, its guests, licensees, agents, and employees of the Property. Landlord
covenants that it will not place, or allow to be placed, any signs on the Park
Property for offsite businesses that compete with the businesses on the Property.
Landlord agrees to record against any portion of the Park Property to be sold by
Landlord, prior to such sale, a declaration setting forth the material covenants of
this Section which are to be complied with by the landowner and any tenant on the
property sold, and their successors and assigns, for so long as this Lease shall
remain in effect.”




J. Section 5 of the Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:




5. Rent.




“(a) Prepaid Rent and Annual Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without
setoff or deduction, by corporate or cashiers check or by wire transfer as directed by
Landlord in immediately available U.S. funds, as annual rent (“Annual Rent”), (i) from and
after the Commencement Date, and continuing until the expiration of the Term, Minimum Rent
(as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 5), and (ii) from and after April 1, 2010, and
continuing until the expiration of the Term, the greater of (A) 2.5% of annual Adjusted
Gross Receipts (“AGR”) (“Percentage Rent”) or (B) applicable Minimum Rent.




(b) Minimum Rent. As used in this Lease, the term “Minimum Rent” shall mean
(i) for the period from the Commencement Date to and including the date of Project
Opening, Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), and (ii) from and after
the date of Project Opening, and continuing until the expiration of the Term, $4 million
annually, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments of $333,333.33, beginning on
April 10, 2010 and on the tenth (10th) day of each month thereafter, to and
including the last month of the Term. Tenant has previously paid to Landlord the sum of
$2,500,000 for the Prepaid Rent, the First Deposit and the Second Deposit (collectively,
“Prepaid Rent”) which Prepaid Rent was to be credited in full against the payment by
Tenant of the Minimum Rent during the first year following Project Opening. In
consideration of the previous amendments to this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that the
Prepaid Rent shall be the total Minimum Rent payable by Tenant for the period from the
Commencement Date to March 31, 2010. If the Tenant shall owe Minimum Rent to the Landlord
for a partial month under the terms of this Lease, the payment thereof shall be made
prorata on the basis of the number of actual days due and owing.




(c) AGR. “AGR” shall mean the annual gross receipts from licensed gambling
games and devices less (i) winnings paid to wagerers for the same period, and (ii) amounts
required to be paid during the same period to the owners of participation
games (not affiliated with Tenant) such as Wheel of Fortune, provided such games cannot
be purchased by Tenant at a commercially reasonable price.


 


- 3 -









 






(d) Payment of Percentage Rent. Commencing on the 45th day following the end
of the 2010 calendar year, and thereafter on the 45th day following the end of
each calendar year during the remainder of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount
equal to 2.5% of AGR for such prior calendar year, less the total monthly payments of
Minimum Rent made for such year, or, with respect to AGR for 2010, less Minimum Rent for the
period April 1-December 31, 2010. Tenant shall report AGR to Landlord on a yearly basis in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.




(e) School Funding. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant pays its real and
personal property taxes for 2011, and continuing for each calendar year thereafter during
the Term of this Agreement (each, a “Tax Year”), but no later than January 31st of the
following year, Landlord and Tenant shall determine the amount of real and personal property
taxes that Tenant paid for the prior Tax Year, commencing with the 2011 Tax Year, for the
benefit of the Hancock Place School District (the “Hancock District”) by applying the school
district tax rate to the assessed value of the On-Site Project and all property thereon
subject to personal property taxes (“Annual Hancock District Tax Revenue”). If the Annual
Hancock District Tax Revenue is less than $4,300,000, then no later than March 31st of each
calendar year after the previous Tax Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, an
amount which equals $4,300,000 less the Annual Hancock District Tax Revenue. Tenant shall
have no obligation to make additional payments to Landlord under this Section 5(e) for any
particular Tax Year if the Annual Hancock Tax Revenue for such Tax Year is equal to or
greater than $4,300,000. If the Hancock District is consolidated with one or more school
districts or is eliminated or otherwise ceases to function as a school district or as a
taxing jurisdiction, and the real and/or personal property taxes paid by taxpayers for the
benefit of the Hancock District (or its consolidated, reconfigured or replacement district
as provided in this sentence) are reduced, the $4,300,000 amount by which Tenant’s payment
obligation is determined shall be reduced accordingly. Tenant shall not receive credit
against the above-described obligation for any taxes levied by taxing authorities that do
not finance the Hancock District (or its consolidated, reconfigured or replacement district
as provided in the preceding sentence) such as, by way of example only, the Special School
District or the Community College District.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant from and against any claims against
the Tenant, including interest, penalties and litigation expenses, from third parties,
relating to the use by the Landlord of the rent paid by Tenant in accordance with Section
5(e) (“School Funding Damages”). In the event that the Landlord is unable under Missouri law
to indemnify the Tenant for any School Funding Damages, Tenant may offset the amount of the
School Funding Damages first against Tenant’s obligations under this Section 5(e) and
second, against Tenant’s Annual Rent obligation, until such amount is paid. Tenant shall
cooperate fully with Landlord, at no out-of-pocket cost to Tenant, in connection with
Landlord’s defense of any claim against Tenant and/or Landlord relating to this Section
5(e).


 


- 4 -









 





K. Within 10 days of the date of this Amendment, the Landlord shall grant to Pinnacle, an
exclusive easement (whose term shall be coterminous with the Term of this Lease and all renewals
and extensions thereof, or perpetual in the event of a sale or transfer of title to the Property to
Grantee) for a sign and two monument markers on the NIMA Property in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B in satisfaction of Section 2(e) of the Second Amendment.



L. Except as modified and amended by this Amendment, the Lease and Development Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Unless the context otherwise
indicates, all other terms and conditions of the Lease and Development Agreement which are the same
as or directly related to the revised terms and conditions set out in this Amendment are similarly
modified to be consistent with this Amendment. The provisions of this Amendment shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.



M. If there is a conflict between the Lease and Development Agreement and this Seventh
Amendment, the Seventh Amendment shall control.



N. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts.
