          Section 2.1  Term Loan; The Notes.
                       --------------------

          (a)  The Bank agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions
     hereinafter set forth, to make a loan to the Borrower, in the amount of
     $27,500,000 (the "Term Loan"), which Term Loan shall be divided in two
     tranches as set forth herein.

               (i)   Tranche I. "Tranche I" shall be in the amount of
          $15,175,000 and shall be used to satisfy the Ship Loan, to reimburse
          the Borrower for capital improvements made by the Borrower to the
          Riverboat, and to satisfy certain related transaction costs. The
          obligation of the Borrower to repay Tranche I shall be evidenced by
          and repayable in accordance with the terms of the Borrower's
          promissory to the Bank, the form of which is attached hereto as
          Exhibit A (the "Tranche I Note").

               (ii)  Tranche II. "Tranche II" shall be in the amount of

          Exhibit B (the "Tranche II Note").

          Section 2.2  Payments.
                       --------

          (a)  Scheduled Payments of Principal and Interest. The Borrower shall
     pay the principal of the Term Loan to the Bank in 59 consecutive monthly
     installments of $327,400 on the first day of each month from June 1, 2001
     through April 1, 2006. Interest accruing from time to time shall be payable
     on the same dates as installments of principal. On May 1, 2006, if not
     sooner paid, all outstanding principal and interest shall be due and owing
     hereunder.

          (b)  Method of Payment. All payments and prepayments by the Borrower
     of principal of and interest on the Notes, and all fees, costs, expenses
     and other obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any
     Security Document, shall be paid no later than 2:00 p.m. central standard
     time on the date due to the Bank in immediately available funds in
     accordance with the wire instructions provided by the Bank to the Borrower.
     If any payment or prepayment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or
     any fee payable hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day,
     such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
     extension of
<PAGE>

     time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest. All
     payments of principal and interest and all other amounts payable hereunder
     and under the Notes shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and
     without reduction for, and free from, any and all present or future taxes,
     levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholdings,
     restrictions or conditions of any nature imposed by any government or
     taxing authority thereof. The Borrower may not reborrow hereunder any
     amount previously paid or prepaid by it.

          (c)  Application of Payments. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), the Bank
     shall apply all payments made hereunder and any prepayments pursuant to
     Section 2.4 (i) first, to any late payment charge then due pursuant to the
                     -----
     Notes, (ii) second, to costs and expenses then due hereunder and under the
                 ------
     Loan Documents, (iii) third, to interest then due under the Tranche I Note,
                           -----
     (iv) fourth, to interest then due under the Tranche II Note, (v) fifth, to
          ------                                                      -----
     principal under the Tranche I Note, until the Tranche I Note is paid in
     full and (vi) sixth, to principal under the Tranche II Note, until all such
                   -----
     principal amounts under the Tranche II Note are fully satisfied. Any
     payment or prepayment received while any part of the Term Loan is bearing
     interest based upon the Eurodollar Rate shall be applied first to the part
     of the Term Loan, if any, then bearing interest based upon the Base Rate.

          Section 2.3  Interest.
                       --------

          (a)  Until and unless the Borrower converts any part of the Term Loan
     to a Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment, the Term Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan
     Segment. The Borrower may, at its option at any time, so long as no Event
     of Default has occurred and is continuing, convert $2,000,000 of the Term
     Loan, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, to a Eurodollar
     Rate Loan Segment. Thereupon and thereafter, the procedures set forth in
     this subsection (a) shall apply. Each conversion of Loan Segments from one
     Type to the other, and each continuation of Loan Segments as the same Type
     shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Bank, which may
     be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Bank not
     later than 11:00 a.m. central standard time, three Business Days prior to
     the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
     Loan Segments or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments to Base
     Rate Loan Segments. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly
     by delivery to the Bank of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed
     and signed by an Officer of the Borrower. Each conversion to or
     continuation of a Loan Segment shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000
     or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice
     (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
     requesting a conversion of Loan Segments from one Type to the other, or a
     continuation of Loan Segments as the same Type, (ii) the requested date of
     the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a
     Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of the Loan Segments to be
     converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loan Segments
<PAGE>

     are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest
     Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of
     Loan Segment in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely
     notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loan
     Segment shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan Segment.
     Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loan Segments shall be effective
     as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to
     the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments. If the Borrower requests a
     conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments in any such
     Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to
     have specified an Interest Period of one month.

          (b)  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan
     Segment may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest
     Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment.  During the existence of an
     Event of Default, no Loan Segments may be converted to or continued as
     Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments, and the Bank may demand that any or all of
     the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments be converted immediately
     to Base Rate Loan Segments.

          (c)  The Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the interest rate
     applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment upon determination of such
     interest rate.  The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Bank shall
     be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The Bank shall notify the
     Borrower of any change in the Bank's prime rate used in determining the
     Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

          (d)  After giving effect to all conversions of Loan Segments from one
     Type to the other, and all continuations of Loan Segments as the same Type,
     there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in effect.

          (e)  While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the
     Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
     Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to
     the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

          (f)  All interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a
     360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

          (g)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the
     Loan Documents, if any specified interest rate shall exceed the maximum
     rate permitted by applicable law as in effect from time to time, the
     Borrower shall pay interest at the highest permissible rate.  If the
     Borrower makes an interest payment under any of the Loan Documents that
     exceeds the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, the
     excess of such payment above the maximum amount that lawfully may be paid
     shall be refunded to the Borrower or, at the Borrower's option, credited
     toward the payment of principal due under the Notes.

          Section 2.4  Prepayments.
                       -----------
<PAGE>

          Upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Bank, the Borrower may
               voluntarily prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Notes
               in whole or in part without premium or penalty at any time.

          If the Borrower makes a payment to an affiliate during any fiscal
               quarter which it is permitted to make under Section 5.20(a) due
               to the existence of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in such
               Section), it will simultaneously prepay the outstanding principal
               balance of the Notes in an amount equal to the amount of such
               affiliate payment.

          If an affiliate of the Borrower fails to repay a loan made by the
               Borrower pursuant to Section 5.20(b) within 90 days, the Borrower
               will promptly, but in no event later than 10 days following the
               default, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in
               an amount equal to the unpaid amount of such loan.

          Any prepayment permitted by clause (a) of this Section shall be made
               on the first day of a calendar month and any prepayment of the
               entire remaining principal balance of the Notes shall include
               payment of all interest accrued thereon.  Any partial prepayment
               shall (i) be in the amount of at least $10,000; (ii) be applied
               first to the prepayment of Tranche I, until Tranche I has been
               paid in full, with any balance applied to Tranche II; and (iii)
               not postpone the due date of any payment due hereunder unless the
               Bank otherwise agrees in writing.

          Section 2.5  Fees.  On the date of the Term Loan, the Borrower shall
                       ----
     pay a closing fee of $275,000 to the Bank, for the account of the Bank and
     any participants. The closing fee (net of the $100,000 retainer fee
     heretofore paid by the Borrower to the Bank) and any other reasonable costs
     and expenses incurred by the Bank which are payable on the date of the Term
     Loan pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be withheld by the Bank from the
     proceeds of the Term Loan and applied by the Bank to the payment of such
     fee, costs and expenses.

          Section 2.6  Yield Protection and Illegality.
                       -------------------------------
          (a)  Illegality.  If the Bank determines that it is unlawful, or that
     any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Bank
     to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments, or materially
     restricts the authority of the Bank to purchase or sell, or to take
     deposits of, U.S. Dollars in the applicable offshore market, or to
     determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on
     notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrower, any obligation of the Bank to
     make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments or to convert Base Rate Loan
     Segments to Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments shall be suspended until the Bank
     notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
     determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
     shall, upon demand from the Bank, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments
     to Base Rate Loan Segments, either on the last
<PAGE>

     day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to
     maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments to such day, or immediately, if
     the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan
     Segments. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also
     pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. The Bank agrees to
     designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the
     need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of the Bank,
     otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Bank.

          (b)  Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Bank determines in
     connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment or a
     conversion to a continuation thereof that (a) dollar deposits are not being
     offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable
     amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment, (b)
     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar
     Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for
     such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment does not adequately and fairly reflect
     the cost to the Bank of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment, the Bank
     will promptly notify the Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Bank
     to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments shall be suspended until
     the Bank revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
     may revoke any pending request for a conversion or continuation of
     Eurodollar Rate Loan Segments.

          (c)  Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

               (1) If the Bank determines that as a result of the introduction
     of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, or the Bank's
     compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to the Bank
     of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loan
     Segments under this Agreement, or a reduction in the amount received or
     receivable by the Bank under the Notes, then from time to time upon demand
     of the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amounts as
     will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

               (2) If the Bank determines that the introduction of any law
     regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation
     thereof, or compliance by the Bank therewith, has the effect of reducing
     the rate of return on the capital of the Bank or any corporation
     controlling the Bank as a consequence of the Bank's obligations hereunder
     (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy
     and the Bank's desired return on capital), then from time to time upon
     demand of the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional
     amounts as shall be certified by the Bank to be the amounts allocable to
     the Bank's obligations to the Borrower hereunder.

               (3) The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, as long as the Bank shall
     be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain
     reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including
<PAGE>

     Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency
     liabilities"), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each
     Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment hereunder equal to the actual costs of such
     reserves allocated to such Loan Segment (as determined by the Bank in good
     faith), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is
     payable on such Loan Segment, provided the Borrower shall have received at
                                   --------
     least 15 days' prior notice of such additional interest from the Bank.  If
     the Bank fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest
     Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days
     from the receipt of such notice.

          (d)  Funding Losses.  Upon demand of the Bank from time to time, the
     Borrower shall promptly compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense
     incurred by it as a result of:

               (1)  any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any
     Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment on a day other than the last day of the
     Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment (whether voluntary,
     mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

               (2)  any failure by the Borrower to prepay, borrow, continue or
     convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment on the date or in the amount
     notified by the Borrower;

     including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
     of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment or
     from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
     obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees
     charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing.

          For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the
     Bank under this Section 2.6, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each
     Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan Segment
     by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore
     interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period,
     whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan Segment was in fact so funded.

          (e)  Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.  A
     certificate of the Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2.6 and
     setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
     shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such
     amount, the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

          (f)  Survival.  All of the Borrower's obligations under this Section
     2.6 shall survive payment in full of all the Obligations.

indebtedness or any contract, loan agreement or lease to which the Borrower is a
party or to which any of the Borrower's property (including, but not limited to,

thereof, including without limitation the Gaming Commission, or any requirement
of the Riverboat Gaming License, or any court order or judgment in any
proceeding to which the Borrower is or was a party or by which any property of

governmental instrumentality or other agency now pending or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower which, if adversely
determined, would prohibit the making of the Term Loan or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or would have a material adverse
effect on the Borrower or its business or financial condition or its ability to

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

          necessary interruption of business caused by risks of direct physical
          loss of real or personal property including the Riverboat or the
          Hotel, subject to policy exclusions, less charges and expenses which
          do not necessarily continue during the interruption of business, for
          such length of time as may be required with the exercise of due
          diligence and dispatch to rebuild, repair or replace such properties
          as have been damaged or destroyed, but not less than one year, with
          aggregate limits equal to at least $1,000,000 with respect to the
          Hotel and $20,000,000 with respect to the Riverboat.

     Each of the foregoing insurance policies shall (i) be issued or written by
     a financially responsible insurer (or insurers) reasonably satisfactory to
     the Bank, (ii) be in such form and with such provisions as are generally
     considered standard provisions for the type of insurance involved, (iii)
     prohibit cancellation or modification by the insurer without at least
     thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Bank and the Borrower (10
     day's prior written notice in the event of cancellation for non-payment)
     and (iv) other than with respect to worker's compensation insurance,
     contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be

<PAGE>

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the insurance
     policies carried pursuant to subsections (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (b)(ii) and
     (b)(iv) above shall name the Bank and the Borrower as additional insured
     parties insured thereunder and all insurance policies carried pursuant to
     subsections (a)(i), (a)(iii), (b)(i) and (b)(iii) shall name the Bank as
     loss payee under a lender's loss payable and a mortgagee's endorsement.

          (d)  Insurance Proceeds From Property Damage to the Hotel or the
               -----------------------------------------------------------
     Riverboat.  After the happening of any casualty to the Riverboat or to the
     ---------
     Hotel or any part thereof, the Borrower shall give prompt written notice
     thereof to the Bank.

               (i)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2(e), in the
          event of any loss or damage covered by the insurance policies listed
          in this Section 5.2, all proceeds of such insurance shall be payable
          to the Bank, and the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any
          affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly
          to the Bank.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
          Event of Default under this Agreement, the Bank is hereby authorized
          and empowered by the Borrower, after consultation with the Borrower,
          to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or
          destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.

               (ii)  In the event of any damage or destruction to the Hotel, the
          Bank shall apply all or part of the insurance proceeds to the
          restoration of the Hotel, and the balance thereof, if any is
          remaining, shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent that it is
          entitled to the same; provided, however, if:  (A) an Event of Default
                                --------  -------
          exists under this Agreement or event which, with the giving of notice
          or passage of time, would be such an Event of Default under this
          Agreement, or (B) the proceeds of such insurance are inadequate to
          complete the restoration of the Hotel and the Borrower fails to
          deposit with the Bank sufficient additional funds, in cash or cash
          equivalents, to complete such restoration of the Hotel, then such
          proceeds may be applied by the Bank within thirty (30) days of its
          receipt thereof to reduce the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by
          the Notes, with such application in accordance with the terms of
          Section 2.2 hereof, and otherwise such proceeds shall be applied by
          the Bank to the restoration of the Hotel.

               (iii) In the event of any damage or destruction to the
          Riverboat, the Bank shall apply all or part of the insurance proceeds
          to the restoration of the Riverboat, and the balance thereof, if any
          is remaining, shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent that it is
          entitled to the same; provided, however, if:  (A) an Event of Default
                                --------  -------
          exists under this Agreement or event which, with the giving of notice
          or passage of time, would be such an Event of Default under this
          Agreement, or (B) the proceeds of such insurance are inadequate to
<PAGE>

          complete the restoration of the Riverboat and the Borrower fails to
          deposit with the Bank sufficient additional funds, in cash or cash
          equivalents, to complete such restoration of the Riverboat, then such
          proceeds may be applied by the Bank within 30 days of its receipt
          thereof to reduce the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Notes,
          with such application in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2
          hereof, and otherwise such proceeds shall be applied by the Bank to
          the restoration of the Riverboat.

               (iv)  Except to the extent that insurance proceeds are received
          by the Bank and applied to payment in full of the indebtedness arising
          hereunder, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse the
          Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Hotel or the Riverboat in
          accordance with Section 5.7 hereof or restoring all damage or
          destruction to, as applicable, the Hotel or the Riverboat, regardless
          of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether
          any such proceeds are sufficient in amount and the application or
          release by the Bank of any insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive
          any default or Event of Default under any Loan Document.

               (v)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
          Agreement, any proceeds under any insurance on the Hotel and or
          Riverboat (A) with respect to protection and indemnity risks and
          public liability may be paid directly to the Borrower to reimburse it
          for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it or direct to the person
          to whom any liability covered by such insurance has been incurred, and
          (B) in the case of any loss (other than a loss covered by clause (A)
          of this Section 5.2(d)(iv) or a loss in excess of $500,000 per
          occurrence) involving any damage to the Hotel or Riverboat, may be
          paid directly for the repair or restoration of the Hotel or Riverboat
          or may be paid directly to the Borrower so long as the Borrower shall
          use such funds to repair or restore the Hotel or Riverboat, as the
          case may be.

          (e)  Renewal or Replacement.  Any certificates evidencing the renewal
               ----------------------
     or replacement of any insurance policy required herein shall be delivered
     by the Borrower to the Bank within 30 days prior to the expiration of such
     policy.

          Section 5.3  Books and Records.  The Borrower shall maintain accurate
                       -----------------

records, contracts and to make extracts therefrom and copies thereof.  The Bank
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained by the Bank

          Section 5.4  Compliance with Law; Notification to Bank.  The Borrower
                       -----------------------------------------
will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including such as
apply to its gaming business, and will maintain the necessary license to conduct
its gaming business in Indiana on substantially the same terms as now apply to
such business.  The Borrower will notify the Bank promptly of the occurrence of
any event that materially adversely affects the Borrower or the Guarantor, their
properties, financial positions or abilities to conduct their business
operations, including gaming operations on the Riverboat at its present
location, in substantially the manner and level conducted or contemplated to be
conducted as of the date of this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing, such
notification shall be required upon the occurrence of any of the following
specific events:

          (a)  any modification of any law, regulation or ordinance of the State
     of Indiana, or any agency or political subdivision thereof, that has a
     material adverse effect on the Borrower's ability to maintain its Riverboat
     Gaming License or to conduct its gaming business on the Riverboat at its
     present location; or

          (b)  the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding before any

     on the ability of the Borrower or the Guarantor to perform its obligations
     under any of the Loan Documents, stating the nature and status of such

any other note, loan agreement, indenture, lease mortgage, contract for deed,
security agreement or other contractual obligation binding upon the Borrower.
The Borrower will not suffer or permit to exist any conditions which would
constitute grounds for a breach or a default under the foregoing.  Any provision
of this Agreement or the Mortgage authorizing the Borrower to take any action or
permitting any such action to be taken whether with or without the prior
approval of the Bank shall be subject to the condition precedent that the taking
of such action will not violate the terms of the Grid Note, the Marketing
Agreement or the Ground Sublease and the Borrower, by taking any such action or
requesting approval from the Bank prior to taking any such action, shall be
deemed to have warranted that such action will not violate the terms of the Grid
Note, the Marketing Agreement or the Ground Sublease. Without the prior written
consent of the Bank, the Borrower shall not (a) consent to the material
amendment or modification of the payment provisions of the Grid Note, the
Marketing Agreement or the Ground Sublease or waive compliance with any of the

with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to the extent

          Section 5.9  Payment of Certain Claims.  The Borrower will pay and
                       -------------------------
discharge or cause to be paid and discharged promptly all lawful taxes,
assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its
income and profits, or upon any of its property, before the same shall become in
default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or
otherwise which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of such
properties; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to pay and
            --------  -------
discharge or to cause to be paid and discharged any such tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, claim
or levy; and comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders, including all gaming laws, rules, regulations, orders
and ordinances of the State of Indiana, the Gaming Commission, any city or

          one time of any such indebtedness or capital leases shall not exceed

          100% of the fair value of the property so purchased, and

               (c)     indebtedness owed under the Parking Garage Agreements;

          provided, however, that the Borrower's payment obligations under the
          --------  -------
          final Parking Garage Agreements shall not be significantly in excess
          of the payment obligations provided under the drafts of such
          Agreements provided to the Bank prior to closing unless the Bank
          consents to such increased payment obligations in writing.

          Section 5.12 Sale of Assets.  The Borrower shall not, whether
                       --------------
voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, convey or transfer any interest in all or
any part of the Borrower's subleasehold interest in the Land, its interest in
the Hotel or its interest in the Riverboat or all or a substantial part of its
assets (or permit any such sale, conveyance or transfer to occur or to remain),
whether in one transaction or a series of transactions; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may:

               (a)     convey, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, assets
          acquired and held for resale in the ordinary course of business;

               (b)     convey, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, assets
          pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Security

          which, in the Borrower's reasonable opinion, have become obsolete or
          unfit for use or which are no longer necessary in the conduct of its
          business.

          Section 5.13 Transactions With Affiliates.  Without the prior written
                       ----------------------------
consent of the Bank, the Borrower shall not enter into any contract, agreement

                       ------

                        ---------------------
ratio of Senior Funded Debt to EBITDAM to exceed 2.5 to 1.0.  For this purpose,
EBITDAM shall be computed (i) based on the Borrower's four most recent fiscal

two most recent fiscal quarters, whichever computation yields the smaller
amount.

          Section 5.17  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  The Borrower will maintain

payments of income taxes and by capital expenditures necessary, in the
Borrower's opinion, to maintain its revenue levels and cash flows, all

Charges" means the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the most recent twelve calendar
months' principal and interest payments with respect to Senior Funded Debt
(excluding payments under capital leases), net of any payments received by the
Borrower under the Swap Contract, or (ii) the next twelve months' scheduled
payments with respect to Senior Funded Debt (excluding payments under capital
leases but including scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, mandatory
prepayments and all other required payments), assuming, in the case of any such
Debt that bears interest at a floating rate, that the then-current interest rate
applicable to such Debt will apply thereto during the entire period, but giving
effect to any payments the Borrower is entitled to receive or required to make
by the terms of the Swap Contract; plus (b) the most recent twelve calendar
                                   ----
months' capital lease payments and Grid Note and Marketing Debt payments.

          Section 5.19  Capital Expenditures.  The Borrower will not make or
                        --------------------
become legally obligated to make any expenditure in respect of the purchase or
other acquisition of any fixed or capital asset (excluding normal replacements

                        -------------------------------------
will not make any cash payments to any of its affiliates except as permitted by
this Section 5.20.

          (a)  The Borrower may make payments to its affiliates during any
     fiscal quarter if the Borrower's Excess Cash Flow determined as of the end
     of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was positive; provided,
                                                               ---------
     however, that such payments shall be limited during any fiscal quarter to
     -------
     $1,400,000 or, if less, an amount such that payments during the fiscal
     quarter plus payments during the immediately preceeding three fiscal
     quarters do not exceed $5,200,000 in the aggregate, plus 50% of the amount
                                                         ----
     of the Excess Cash Flow determined as of the end of such preceding fiscal
     quarter. "Excess Cash Flow" shall be determined based upon the formula in
     Exhibit E.
<PAGE>

          (b)  The Borrower may make one loan to an affiliate during any fiscal
     year in an amount of up to $1,000,000.  Prior to making any such loan, the
     Borrower shall have determined, based upon the best information available
     to it, that the affiliate will be able to repay the loan on schedule out of
     the affiliate's available cash flows.  Each such loan shall be payable in
     not more than 90 days and shall be evidenced by a promissory note.  The
     Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Bank in each and every
     such promissory note and agrees promptly to deliver each such promissory
     note to the Bank for the purpose of perfecting such security interest.

          (c)  The amount of the Borrower's obligation owed under the Grid Note
     may be converted in whole or in part to equity.

          (d)  The Borrower may make payments to the Ground Lessor as required
     by the Operating Agreement and the berthing agreement between the Borrower
     and the Ground Lessor; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not make
                            --------  -------
     any payment or series of related payments in excess of $500,000 to the
     Ground Lessor in connection with a capital improvement without the prior
     written consent of the Bank. The Borrower may make payments to Buffington
     Harbor Parking Associates, L.L.C. as required by its operating agreement
     and the Parking Garage Agreements.

          (e) The Borrower may enter into transactions with affiliates so long
     as such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than
     would be available in comparable transactions in arm's length dealings with
     unaffiliated third parties.

          Section 5.21  Cash Position.  The Borrower will at all times maintain
                        -------------
no less than $5,000,000 of cash available for working capital and for use in its
gaming business.

          Section 5.22  Swap Contract.  Not later than April 13, 2001, the

Borrower will enter into the Swap Contract, which shall provide for a swap or
collar transaction for at least $10,000,000 of notional principal amount.

          (c) The Borrower shall fail duly to observe or perform any of the
     terms, conditions, covenants or agreements required to be observed or
     performed by the Borrower under this Agreement, and such failure shall
     continue for a period of 30 calendar days after written notice of such
     failure
<PAGE>

     has been given by the Bank to the Borrower or, in the case of a default not
     susceptible to cure within 30 days, the Borrower fails to commence to cure

Default the Bank may, at its option, exercise any and all of the following
rights and remedies (and any other rights and remedies available to it):

          (a)  The Bank may, by written notice to the Borrower, declare
     immediately due and payable all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on
     the Notes, together with all other sums payable hereunder or under the
     Security Documents, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and
     payable without presentment or other demand, protest, notice of dishonor or
     any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived;
     provided, however, that upon the filing of a petition by the Borrower
     --------  -------
     seeking protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the principal
     of and all accrued interest on the Notes shall be automatically due and
     payable without any notice to or demand on the Borrower, the Guarantor or
     any other party.

          (b)  The Bank shall have the right, in addition to any other rights
     provided by law, to enforce its rights and remedies under the Security
     Documents and the Guarantor Documents.

          Section 6.3  Gaming Laws.
                       -----------

               (a)  The Bank acknowledges, understands and agrees that the rules
and regulations of the Gaming Commission (together with the Indiana Riverboat
Gambling Act, the "Gaming Laws") may impose certain licensing or transaction
approval requirements prior to the exercise of the rights and remedies granted
to it under the Security Documents or Guaranty Documents with respect to the
vessel subject to the Gaming Laws. In particular, the Bank acknowledges,
understands and agrees that it may not take a direct possessory interest in any
gaming equipment, but
<PAGE>

may exercise rights only through an agent appropriately licensed or approved by
the Indiana Gaming Commission.

               (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents to
the contrary, nothing in the Loan Documents shall (i) effect any transfer of any
ownership interest (within the meaning of 68 Indiana Administrative Code 5) in
the Borrower or (ii) effect any transfer, sale, purchase, lease or hypothecation
of, or any borrowing or loaning of money against, or any establishment of any
voting trust agreement or other similar agreement with respect to (all within
the meaning of Indiana Code 4-33-4-21), any certificate of suitability or any
Riverboat Gaming License heretofore or hereafter issued to any person, including
Borrower, under any of the Gaming Laws.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                 Miscellaneous
                                 -------------

       Section 7.1  Indemnity. In addition to the payment of fees, costs and
                    ---------
expenses pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Bank and any of its participants, parent
corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor
corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees and
agents of the foregoing (the "Indemnitees"), from and against (a) any and all
transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges incurred by delivery
of any Loan Document, and (b) any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto,
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any
manner relating to or arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or
the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Term Loan or the operation of the
Hotel or the Riverboat (the "Indemnified Liabilities"). If any investigative,
judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing, is
brought against any Indemnitee, upon request of such Indemnitee, the Borrower,
or counsel designated by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent
and in the manner reasonably directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrower's sole
cost and expense. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public
policy, the Borrower shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law. The obligation of the Borrower under this
Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of
the Borrower's other obligations under this Agreement.

       Section 7.2  Fees. The Borrower shall pay on demand all placement fees,
                    ----
appraisal fees, survey fees, environmental assessment fees, recording fees,
license and permit fees, inspection fees, title insurance and other insurance
premiums
<PAGE>

incurred by the Bank in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Bank in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
review, recording, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and the
other instruments and documents to be delivered in connection therewith,
including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Bank
with respect thereto. All such costs, expenses and fees shall become additional
indebtedness of the Borrower secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed by
the Guaranty. Unless the Borrower and the Bank agree in writing to other terms
of repayment, such amounts shall be due and payable immediately upon their
disbursement by the Bank, and shall bear interest from the time of such
disbursement at highest annual rate then in effect under the Notes.

       Section 7.3  Notice. All notices and other communications provided for
                    ------
under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents shall be in writing

                    -----------------------------
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Bank and their

assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank. No
other Person shall be or become a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

       Section 7.6  Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision
                    -----------------
of any Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Bank and, in the case of an amendment, by the Borrower, and then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay on the part of the Bank
in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other
or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

       Section 7.7  Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Bank set
                    -------------------
forth hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
the Bank would otherwise have.

       Section 7.8  Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. The Bank shall be under no
                    ------------------------------
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or
against or in payment of the Notes or other indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Bank. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Bank or
the Bank exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

       Section 7.9  Article and Section Titles. The Article and Section titles
                    --------------------------
contained in this Agreement shall be without substantive meaning or content of
any kind whatsoever and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the
provisions of this Agreement.
<PAGE>

       Section 7.10 Reliance by the Bank. All covenants, agreements,
                    --------------------
representations and warranties made herein and in any Loan Document by the
Borrower shall, notwithstanding any investigation by the Bank, be deemed to be
material to and to have been relied upon by the Bank and all such
representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.

       Section 7.11 Governing Law and Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the
                    ----------------------------------
Notes issued hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
This Agreement and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties on the matters covered herein and therein. No other agreement, statement
or promise made by any party or by any employee, officer, or agent of any party
that is not in writing and signed by all the parties to this Agreement shall be
binding.

       Section 7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
                    ------------
of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an
original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

       Section 7.13 Construction. Whenever possible, each provision of this
                    ------------
Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents and any other statement,
instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or
thereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
such applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the
Security Documents or any other statement, instrument or transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto shall be held to be
prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents or any other statement,
instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or
thereto. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with a valid provision the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision.

       Section 7.14 Inconsistency. In the event that any of the terms and
                    -------------
provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with any of the terms and
provisions of the Notes or the Security Documents, the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall govern.

       Section 7.15  Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent it may legally do
                     -----------------------
so, the Borrower irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the
Security Documents may be brought in a court of record in Cook County, Illinois
or in the Courts of the United States located in such county, (b) consents to
the jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding, (c)
waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding in any such courts and any claim that any such suit, action
or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (d) agrees that a
final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.

                    --------------------
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR

THEREUNDER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
