   FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS TO GENERAL CONDITION OF THE
OWNER-CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT

                                by and between

                      HOLLYWOOD CASINO SHREVEPORT, Owner

                                      and

                        BROADMOOR ANDERSON, Contractor

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS shall modify, delete from
and add and replace by substitution to the "General Conditions of the Contract
for Construction", AIA Document A201, Fourteenth Edition, AIA, 1997.  Where any
Article, Paragraph, Subparagraph or Clause of the General Conditions or any part
thereof is modified or deleted by this First Amendment to Supplementary
Conditions, the unaltered provisions of that Article, Paragraph, Subparagraph or
Clause shall remain in effect and except as amended hereby, the Contract shall
remain in full force and effect as written.

                                  ARTICLE 11
                                  ----------
                                INSURANCE BONDS
                                ---------------
     11.6.1   The following is inserted as a new Subparagraph 11.6.1:

              "11.6.1    In the event that Owner determines that a prearranged
              owner controlled insurance program (an "OCIP") covering the
                                                      ----
              Contractor, its Subcontractors and the Sub-subcontractors will be
              most efficient, the Owner, at its cost and expense, shall provide
              an OCIP covering the Contractor, its Subcontractors and the Sub-
              subcontractors. Such OCIP shall afford coverage no less than that
              required by the Contract Documents, unless the Contractor consents
              to a lesser coverage, which consent shall not be unreasonably
              withheld, conditioned or delayed. In such event, as required by
              Paragraph 11.6, Contractor and each Subcontractor and Sub-
              subcontractor shall deduct the cost of insurance required of them
              by the Contract (the "Insurance Deduction"), together with the
                                    -------------------
              Contractor's Fee calculated on the cost of such insurance, from
              the Contract Sum and the Guaranteed Maximum Price pursuant to one
              or more Change Orders. In consideration for Contractor's agreement
              to an OCIP, Owner agrees to pay to Contractor an amount equal to
              twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between the premium
              paid by Owner for the OCIP and the Insurance Deduction (the
              "Contractor's Share of Insurance Savings"). Such payment shall be
               ---------------------------------------
              made by Owner to Contractor within thirty (30) days from the date
              that the Contractor's Share of Insurance Savings is determined and
              agreed upon by Owner and Contractor.

     This First Amendment to Supplementary Conditions to General Conditions of
the Owner-Contractor Agreement is entered into effective as of the 10/th/ day of
December, 1999.

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

          Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
          other than Lessee) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
          conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation
          organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any State
          thereof or the District of Columbia;

                    (2)  the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger (if other than Lessee), or the Person to which
          such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

          or material  impairment  of any of  Lessee's or any of its  Restricted
          Subsidiaries'  Gaming Licenses unless a comparable  replacement Gaming
          License  is  effective  prior to or  simultaneously  with  such  loss,
          suspension or material impairment;

                    (5) Lessee or the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger (if other than Lessee), or to which such sale,
          assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been
          made, will, on the date of such transaction, after giving pro forma
          effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions as
          if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-
          quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
          Indebtedness pursuant to Section 5.19(b); and
                                   ---------------

                    (6) such transaction would not require any Participant to
          obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the
          law of any applicable gaming jurisdiction; provided, however, that
                                                     --------  -------
          such Participant would not have been required to obtain a Gaming

               In addition, Lessee may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or
     substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related
     transactions, to any other Person.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may reorganize as a
     corporation or other business entity in accordance with the procedures
     established in Section 5.2(b), provided that Lessee has delivered to
                    --------------  --------
     Administrative Agent (with original counterparts for Trustee/Lessor and
     each Lender) an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably
     acceptable to the Required Lenders confirming that the reorganization is
     not adverse to the Participants (it being recognized that the
     reorganization will not be deemed adverse to the Participants solely
     because (x) of the accrual of deferred tax liabilities resulting from the
     reorganization or (y) the successor or surviving corporation (1) is subject
     to income tax as a corporate entity or (2) is considered to be an
     "includible corporation" of an affiliated group of corporations within the
     meaning of the Code, or any similar state or local law).

               (2) Successor Corporation Substituted.  Upon any consolidation or
                   ---------------------------------
     merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
     disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee in
     accordance with Section 5.2(a), the successor corporation formed by such
                     --------------
     consolidation or into or with which Lessee is merged, or to which such
     sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made,
     shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date
     of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other
     disposition, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Operative
     Documents referring to the "Lessee" shall refer instead to the successor
     corporation and not to Lessee), and may exercise every right and power of,
     Lessee under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents with the same

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

     effect as if such successor Person had been named as Lessee herein;
     provided, however, that (i) the surviving entity or acquiring corporation
     --------  -------
     shall (A) assume all of the Obligations of Lessee incurred under this
     Agreement and the other Operative Documents, (B) acquire and own and
     operate, directly or through Subsidiaries, all or substantially all of the
     properties and assets then constituting the assets of Lessee or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (C) have been issued Gaming
     Licenses to operate the acquired casino operations and entities
     substantially in the manner and scope operated prior to such transaction,
     which Gaming Licenses are in full force and effect and (D) be in compliance
     fully with Section 5.2(a) and (ii) Lessee shall deliver to Administrative
                --------------
     Agent (with copies for Trustee/Lessor and each Lender) a certificate signed
     by a Responsible Official of Lessee and an opinion of counsel acceptable to
     the Required Lenders, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,
     stating that the proposed transaction complies with this Section 5.2;
                                                              -----------
     provided, further, however, that Lessee shall not be relieved from the
     --------  -------
     obligation to pay its Obligations (including Rent) under this Agreement,
     the Lease and the other Operative Documents except in the case of a sale of
     all of one or Lessee's assets that meets the requirements of Section
                                                                  -------
     5.2(a).

     SECTION 1.22   Existence.  Subject to Section 5.2, Lessee shall do or cause

to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
(a) its partnership existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence
of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Lessee or any such
Subsidiary and (b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises
of Lessee and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be
                                --------  -------
required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate,
partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if Lessee's Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of Lessee and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
Participants.

     SECTION 1.23   Liens.  Lessee shall not incur or suffer or permit to exist
                    -----
any Lien on any of the Equipment or the other Collateral other than Permitted
Liens.

     SECTION 1.24   Compliance Certificate.  Within 120 days after the close of
                    ----------------------

certificate (a "Compliance Certificate"), in form reasonably acceptable to the
                ----------------------
Required Lenders, signed by a Responsible Official of Lessee, to the effect that
the signer is familiar with or has reviewed the relevant terms of this

party and has made, or caused to be made, under his or her supervision, a review
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, as well as the condition of
the Equipment, during the preceding fiscal year, and that such review has not
disclosed the existence during such fiscal year of any condition or event which
constitutes a Lease Event of Default or Casualty (except as described therein),
nor does the signer have knowledge, after due inquiry, of the existence, as of
the date of such certificate, of any condition or event which constitutes a
Lease Default, a Lease Event of Default or Casualty or, if any such condition or
event existed or exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof
and what action Lessee has taken, is taking or proposes to take with

                                      -24-

respect thereto.

     SECTION 1.25  Investigation by Governmental Authorities.  Lessee shall
                   -----------------------------------------
deliver to Administrative Agent promptly upon Lessee's receiving written notice
of the intent by a Governmental Authority to (a) revoke or suspend any Gaming
License necessary for the ownership or operation of the Casino or gaming
operations in respect thereof, (b) restrict or modify any such Gaming License if
the effect of any such restriction or modification would reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate with other restrictions or
modifications, a Material Adverse Effect, (c) take an action which would
constitute a requisition of title to any of the Equipment, (d) investigate the
Equipment for a material violation of any Applicable Laws with respect to the
Equipment, including any Environmental Law, under which liability may be imposed
upon any Participant or Lessee, or (e) investigate the Equipment (other than
routine fire, life-safety and similar inspections) for any violation of
Applicable Laws under which criminal liability may be imposed upon any
Participant or Lessee.

     SECTION 1.26    Books and Records.  Lessee will, at all times, maintain

GAAP.

     SECTION 1.27    Payment of Taxes, etc.  Lessee shall pay, and shall cause
                     ----------------------
each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, (a) all sales, use,
excise and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed
upon the Lessee Collateral except such as are contested in good faith and by
                           ------
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not
adverse in any material respect to the Participants, and (b) all lawful claims
that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the Lessee Collateral, other
than those arising from Permitted Liens.

     SECTION 1.28    Inspection.  Lessee shall permit the Participants, or any
                     ----------

account of Lessee and its Restricted Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of Lessee and its Restricted Subsidiaries with any of
Lessee's or any of HCS I's or HCS II's officers, managers, key employees or
accountants, provided that Lessee shall be afforded reasonable prior notice of,
             --------
and an opportunity to participate in, any such discussions with Lessee's
accountants.  Lessee shall, upon reasonable prior notice from any Participant

authorized representatives to inspect the Equipment during normal business hours
of Lessee, provided that such inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with

such inspection); provided, however, that all inspections by the Participants
                  --------  -------

     Commitments are outstanding, no transfer by a Lender shall be effective
     unless the transferee is (A) a bank or other financial institution with a
     combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $100,000,000,

     or (B) a Subsidiary of such a bank or financial institution, provided that
     --                                                           --------
     such bank or financial institution furnishes a guaranty with respect to the
     Subsidiary transferee's obligations as a Lender, (C) any other Person,

     provided the transferee's obligations as a Lender are guarantied by the
     --------
     transferor Lender.

               (5) Effect.  From and after any transfer of its Notes, the
                   ------
     transferring Lender shall be released, but only to the extent assumed by
     the transferee in writing, from its liabilities and obligations hereunder
     and under the other Operative Documents to which such transferor is a party
     in respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such
     transfer.  Upon any transfer by a Lender as above provided, any such
     transferee shall be deemed a "Lender" for all purposes of such documents
     and each reference herein to a Lender shall thereafter be deemed a
     reference to such transferee for all purposes, except as the context may
     otherwise require.

               (6) Confirmation Notice; Costs.  Any Lender having effected a
                   --------------------------
     transfer of its interest under this Section 6.2 shall give written notice
                                         -----------
     thereof to Lessee,

<PAGE>

     Lessor, Administrative Agent and Trustee within fifteen (15) Business Days
     following such transfer, setting forth the name of the transferee, the
     percentage of interest retained by such Lender, if any, and the date on
     which such transfer became effective. All reasonable out-of- pocket costs
     incurred by Lessor, Trustee or Administrative Agent in connection with any
     such disposition by a Lender under this Section 6.2 shall be borne by such
                                             -----------
     Lender. In the event of a transfer under this Section 6.2(a), any expenses
                                                   --------------
     incurred by the transferee in connection with its review of the Operative
     Documents and its investigation of the transactions contemplated thereby
     shall be borne by such transferee or the relevant Lender, as they may
     determine, but shall not be considered costs and expenses which Lessee is
     obligated to pay or reimburse under Section 9.16.
                                         ------------

               (7) Lessee Consent.  Any transferee of an interest transferred
                   --------------
     pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall have obtained the prior written consent
                      -----------
     of Lessee to such transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed, provided that Lessee shall have no such consent right
                          --------
     during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and provided
                                                                 --------
     further that no such consent shall be required for any transfer made
     -------
     pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above.
                 -----------     ---

Notwithstanding any transfer pursuant to this Section 6.2, the transferor shall
                                              -----------
continue to be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to
such transfer, including rights to indemnification under this Agreement or any
other Operative Document.

     SECTION 1.49   Participations.
                    --------------

               (1) Participations.  Each Lender covenants and agrees that it
                   --------------
     will not grant participations in its Notes and other Operative Documents to
     any Person (a "Participating Entity") unless such Person (i) is a bank or
                    ---------------------
     other financial institution and (ii) represents and warrants, in writing,
     to such Lender for the benefit of the Lenders, Lessor, Trustee,
     Administrative Agent and Lessee that no part of the funds used by it to
     acquire an interest in the Notes and other Operative Documents constitutes
     assets of any Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Benefit Arrangement (or its
     related trust).  Any such transferor Lender shall require any transferee of
     its interest in the Notes and the other Operative Documents to make the
     representations and warranties set forth in the preceding sentence, in
     writing, to such transferor Lender for its benefit and the benefit of the
     Lenders, Lessor, Trustee, Administrative Agent and Lessee.  In the event of
     any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participating
     Entity such Lender's obligations under this Agreement and under the other
     Operative Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
     responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
     holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and under the
     other Operative Documents, and Lessor, Trustee, Administrative Agent and,
     except as set forth in Section 6.3(b), Lessee shall continue to deal solely
                            --------------
     and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
     obligations under this Agreement and under the other Operative Documents,
     and, as between such Lender and such Participating Entity, such Lender
     shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

     Lessee under the Operative Documents and to approve any amendment,
     modification or waiver of any provision of any Operative Document.

               (2) Transferee Indemnities.  Each Participating Entity shall be
                   ----------------------
     entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 of the Loan
                                 ------------  ----  ----     ----
     Agreement and Articles VII and VIII with respect to its participation in
                   ------------     ----
     its transferor's Notes and the other Operative Documents, and Loans and
     Advances outstanding from time to time; provided, that no Participating
                                             --------
     Entity in respect of its participation shall be entitled to receive any
     greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would
     have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
     in the Notes and other Operative Documents transferred by such transferor
     Lender to such Participating Entity had no such transfer of a participation
     occurred.

     SECTION 1.50   Required Transfers.  If, at any time during the Lease Term,
                    ------------------
any Lender shall request from Lessor, Trustee or Lessee reimbursement for any
costs pursuant to Section 2.9, 2.10 or 2.11 of the Loan Agreement (which cost
                  -----------  ----    ----
Lessee is obligated to pay as Supplemental Rent under Section 3.2 of the Lease),
                                                      -----------
such Lender shall, upon request of Lessee or Administrative Agent, attempt in
good faith to promptly sell to a Person who would qualify under Section 6.3(a)
                                                                -------------
of this Agreement, the Notes and interests in the other Operative Documents held
by such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender and any other interests of such
Lender hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, in accordance with
this Section 6.4, in exchange for an amount equal to the outstanding principal
     -----------
amount of such Lender's Notes, together with all interest accrued thereon and
unpaid to the date of such purchase and all other amounts then due and payable
hereunder or under the other Operative Documents to such Lender (including any
requested reimbursement amounts).

     SECTION 1.51     Distribution and Receipt of Payments.  Bank, in its
                      ------------------------------------
capacities as Trustee and Lessor, hereby appoints Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the Lenders) agent for purposes of receiving proceeds of Advances,
payments under the Lease and the other Operative Documents and making
distributions to the Lenders, Lessee and other Persons under this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents.  Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, may at any time
by notice in writing terminate Administrative Agent's appointment hereby as
agent of collection and payment of the payments under the Operative Documents,
in which event Lessee and the Lenders, as the case may be, upon receipt of a
copy of such notice, shall pay any and all payments payable to Bank, as Trustee
and/or Lessor, hereunder and under the other Operative Documents directly to
Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, at the account set forth in Schedule III.
                                                            ------------

<PAGE>

which the Indemnitee is provided an indemnification under subsection (f) of this
Section 7.1, (4) as to an Indemnitee, any Claim resulting from Lessor Liens
which such Indemnitee is responsible for discharging under the Operative
Documents and (5) except as may be otherwise provided herein or in any other
Operative Document, as to any Indemnitee, any claim to the extent resulting from
its required compliance with Applicable Laws (including Gaming Laws). Lessee
shall be entitled to credit against any payments due under this Section 7.1 any
insurance recoveries received by an Indemnitee in respect of the related Claim
under or from insurance paid for by Lessee or assigned to Lessor or Trustee by
Lessee.

          If Lessee shall obtain actual knowledge of any Claim indemnified
against under this Section 7.1, Lessee shall give prompt notice thereof to the
                   -----------
appropriate Indemnitee or Indemnitees, and if any Indemnitee shall obtain actual
knowledge of any Claim indemnified under this Section 7.1, such Indemnitee shall

shall release Lessee from its obligations to indemnify hereunder only if and to
the extent that such failure results in a forfeiture by Lessee of substantive
rights and defenses. With respect to any amount that Lessee is requested by an
Indemnitee to pay by reason of this Section 7.1, such Indemnitee shall, if so
                                    -----------
requested by Lessee and prior to any payment, submit such additional information
to Lessee as Lessee may reasonably request and which is reasonably available to
such Indemnitee to substantiate properly the requested payment.

Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is indemnified under this Section 7.1, such

Indemnitee shall notify Lessee of the commencement thereof, and Lessee shall be

--------  -------
to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding
to the extent required under this Section 7.1; and provided, further, that
                                  -----------      --------- -------
Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such
action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the reasonable
opinion of such Indemnitee, (x)(i) such action, suit or proceeding involves any
risk of imposition of criminal liability or (ii) such action, suit or proceeding
involves any material risk of material civil liability on such Indemnitee or
will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation
of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Equipment, or the Trust Estate
or any part thereof, unless, in the case of this clause (x)(ii), Lessee shall
                                                 --------------
have posted a bond or other security satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee in
respect to such risk, (y) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would
involve a bona fide conflict of interest or (z) Lessee's choice of counsel for
such action, suit or proceeding is not acceptable to such Indemnitee, (B) such
proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by Lessee which Lessee and the
Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified Claim(s), (C) a Lease
Default or a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (D) such
action, suit or proceeding involves matters which extend beyond or are unrelated
to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents and if determined
adversely could be materially detrimental to the interests of such Indemnitee
notwithstanding indemnification by Lessee.  Indemnitee, on the one hand, and
Lessee, on the other hand, each may participate in a reasonable manner at its
own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the other in
accordance with the foregoing.

          Each Indemnitee shall, at Lessee's expense, supply Lessee with such
information and documents reasonably requested by Lessee as are necessary or
advisable for Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the
extent permitted by this Section 7.1.  Unless a Lease Event of Default shall
                         -----------
have occurred and be continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement
or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be
indemnified under this Section 7.1 without the prior written consent of Lessee,

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section 7.1 with
                                                         -----------
respect to such Claim.

be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of a written demand therefor
from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing the basis
for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable and, if
requested by Lessee, such determination shall be verified by a nationally
recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Lessee and the
Indemnitee, at Lessee's expense.

               (4) Taxes imposed on an Indemnitee that result from any voluntary
     sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by such Indemnitee or any
     related Indemnitee of any interest in the Equipment or any part thereof, or
     any interest therein or any interest or obligation arising under the
     Operative Documents or any Notes, or from any sale, assignment, transfer or
     other disposition of any interest in such Indemnitee or any related
     Indemnitee, it being understood that each of the following shall not be

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

     considered a voluntary sale:  (A) any substitution, replacement or removal
     of any of the Equipment by Lessee shall not be treated as a voluntary
     action of any Tax Indemnitee, (B) any sale or transfer resulting from the
     exercise by Lessee of any early termination option, (C) any transfer under
     Section 5.2 of the Lease and (D) any sale or transfer while a Lease Event
     -----------
     of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Lease; or

               (5) Taxes imposed on a Lender which is not organized under the
     Laws of the United States of America or any State thereof to the extent
     such Lender's compliance with Section 8.6 of this Agreement at the time
                                   -----------
     such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement fails to establish a complete
     exemption from such withholding or to the extent such failure to establish
     a complete exemption from such withholding thereafter is attributable to
     the actions of such Lender.

     SECTION 1.55   Contests.  If any Claim shall be made against any Indemnitee
                    --------
or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Indemnitee (including a
written notice of such proceeding) for any Taxes as to which Lessee may have an
indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 8.1, or if any Indemnitee shall
                                 -----------
determine that any Taxes as to which Lessee may have an indemnity obligation
pursuant to Section 8.1 may be payable, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify
            -----------
Lessee in writing.  Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through
counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, to participate in, and, to the
extent that Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof; provided,
                                                                       ---------
however, that Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to
-------
indemnify fully such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding to
the extent required under this Article VIII; and, provided, further, that Lessee
                               ------------       -----------------
shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit
or proceeding if and to the extent that (A) Lessee is not able to provide such
Indemnitee with a legal opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to such
Indemnitee that such action, suit or proceeding does not involve (x) a risk of
imposition of criminal liability or (y) any material risk of material civil
liability on such Indemnitee and will not involve a material risk of the sale,
forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien)
on the Equipment, or the Trust Estate or any part thereof, unless, in the case
of this clause (y), Lessee contemporaneously with such opinion shall have posted
        ----------
a bond or other security satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee in respect to
such risk, (B) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve a
bona fide conflict of interest, (C) such proceeding involves Claims not fully
indemnified by Lessee which Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever
from the indemnified claim(s), (D) a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (E) such action, suit or proceeding involves
matters which extend beyond or are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents and if determined adversely could be materially
detrimental to the interests of such Indemnitee notwithstanding indemnification
by Lessee. Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Lessee, on the other hand, may
participate in a reasonable manner, each at its own expense and with its own
counsel in any proceeding conducted by the other in accordance with the
foregoing.

          Each Indemnitee shall, at Lessee's expense, supply Lessee with such
information and documents reasonably requested by Lessee as are necessary or
advisable for Lessee to

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this
Section 8.3. Unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have
-----------
occurred and be continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or
other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified
under this Section 8.3 without the prior written consent of Lessee, which
           -----------
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee
waives its right to be indemnified under this Section 8.3 with respect to such
                                              -----------
Claim.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an
Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and Lessee shall not be permitted to
contest) (a) a Claim with respect to the imposition of any Tax if such
Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this Section 8.3 with
                                                               -----------
respect to such Claim (and any related claim with respect to other taxable years
the contest of which is precluded or otherwise adversely affected as a result of
such waiver) and (b) any Claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a
continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely.  Each
Indemnitee and Lessee shall consult in good faith with each other concerning
each step and decision regarding the conduct of such contest controlled by
either, including the forum in which the Claim is most likely to be favorably
resolved.

     SECTION 1.56   Payments.  Any Tax indemnifiable under this Article VIII
                    --------                                    ------------
shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if direct
payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing
authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to an
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after
                       -----------
receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a
written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not
before the date that the relevant Taxes are due.  Any payments made pursuant to
Section 8.3 directly to the Indemnitee entitled thereto or Lessee, as the case
-----------
may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such
account as specified by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if no
such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order
of the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in
this Agreement.  Upon the request of any Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that
Lessee is required to pay, Lessee shall furnish to such Indemnitee the original
or a certified copy of a receipt for Lessee's payment of such Tax or such other
evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee.

     SECTION 1.57   Reports.  If any report, return or statement is required to
                    -------
be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification under
this Article VIII, Lessee shall, if Lessee is permitted by Applicable Laws,
     ------------
timely prepare and file such report, return or statement; provided, however,
                                                          --------- -------
that if Lessee is not permitted by Applicable Laws to file any such report,
Lessee will promptly so notify the appropriate Indemnitee, in which case such
Indemnitee will file any such report after preparation thereof by Lessee.

     SECTION 1.58   Withholding Tax Exemption.  At least ten (10) Business Days
                    -------------------------
prior to the first date on which any payment is due under any Note for the
account of any Lender which is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust"
within the meaning of the Code, and such Lender claims exemption from, or a
reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such
Lender agrees that it will have delivered to each of Lessee, Lessor, Trustee and

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8EC1, in either case with completed and
accurate taxpayer identifying numbers, certifying in either case that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under the Operative Documents without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance
with Section 7.10 of the Loan Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

     SECTION 1.59   Survival of Agreements.  The representations, warranties,
                    ----------------------
covenants, indemnities and agreements of the parties provided for in the
Operative Documents, and the parties' obligations under any and all thereof,
shall survive the execution and delivery and the termination or expiration of
this Agreement and any of the other Operative Documents, the transfer of the
Equipment to or by Lessor or Trustee as provided herein or in any other
Operative Documents, any disposition of any interest of Lessor or Trustee in the
Equipment, and the purchase and sale of the Notes, payment therefor and any
disposition thereof, and shall be and continue in effect notwithstanding any
investigation made by any party hereto or to any of the other Operative
Documents or the fact that any such party may waive compliance with any of the
other terms, provisions or conditions of any of the Operative Documents.

     SECTION 1.60   No Broker, etc.  Except for Lessee's engagement of Bank of
                    ---------------
America as Arranger in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
none of the parties has authorized, retained or employed any broker, finder or
financial advisor to act on its behalf in connection with this Agreement, nor
authorized any broker, finder or financial advisor retained or employed by any
other Person so to act, nor incurred any fees or commissions to which Trustee or
any Lender might be subjected by virtue of its entering into the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  Bank of America's sole compensation for acting
hereunder, other than as a Lender, is the receipt of the amounts provided for in
the Operative Documents and in the Arranger Fee Letter.  Any party who is in
breach of this representation shall indemnify and hold the other parties
harmless from and against all liabilities arising out of such breach of this
representation.

     SECTION 1.61   Amendments.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the other
                    ----------
Operative Documents, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be terminated,
amended, supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the termination,
amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall be sought and consented to
by the Required Lenders; and no such termination, amendment, supplement, waiver
or modification shall be effective unless a signed copy thereof shall have been
delivered to Trustee, Lessor, Lessee, Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Trustee, Lessor and Lessee shall not be permitted to amend, modify or supplement
the Lease or any other Operative Document without the written consent of the
Required Lenders; provided, that without the prior written consent of each
                  --------
Lender, Trustee shall not:

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

               (1) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.3, change the

     Operative Document requiring action by any of the foregoing, or release any
     Collateral (except as otherwise specifically provided in any Operative
     Document);

               (2) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of (or waive
     a default in any payment of) any amount of principal owing or payable under

     fee, or modify any of the provisions of Section 2.2 of the Trust Agreement;
                                             -----------

               (3) modify, amend, waive or supplement any of the provisions of
     Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1, 5.1 and 5.2 of the Lease;
     ------------  ---  ---  ---  ---     ---

               (4) reduce, modify, amend or waive any indemnities in favor of
     any Lender;

               (5) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of Rent or
     the Lease Balance;

               (6) consent to any assignment of the Lease releasing Lessee from
     its obligations to pay Rent or the Lease Balance or changing the absolute
     and unconditional character of such obligations, except as permitted by
     this Agreement;

               (7) permit the creation of any Lien on the Trust Estate or any
     part thereof except as contemplated by the Operative Documents, or deprive
     any Lender of the benefit of the security interest and Lien secured by the
     Trust Estate.

     SECTION 1.62   Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.  The rights, powers,
                    ------------------------------
privileges and remedies of the Participants provided herein or in any Note or
other Operative Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power,
privilege or remedy provided by law or equity. No failure or delay on the part
of any Participant in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be,
or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise
of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise
of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  The terms and
conditions of Section 2.1 and Article III hereof are inserted for the sole
              -----------     -----------
benefit of the Participants; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or
without terms or conditions, in respect of any Advance without prejudicing any
Participant's rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other
Advance.

     SECTION 1.63   Nature of Lenders' Obligations.  The obligations of the
                    ------------------------------
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several.  Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Operative Document and no action taken
by the Participants or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be
deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
other entity, either among themselves or with Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee.

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

Each Lender's obligation to make any Loan pursuant hereto or the Loan Agreement
is several and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial
Loans only is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their
obligations to make initial Loans.  A default by any Lender will not increase
the Commitment Percentage of any other Lender.  Any Lender not in default may,
if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the
obligations of any Lender in default, but no Lender is obligated to do so.

     SECTION 1.64   Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
                    -------   ------
Operative Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications provided for hereunder or under any other Operative Document must
be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by
commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set
forth in Schedule III or, as to any party to any Operative Document, at any
         ------------
other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other
parties to such Operative Document in accordance with this Section.  Except as
                                                                     ------
otherwise expressly provided in any Operative Document, if any notice, request,
demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Operative
Document is given by mail, it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or the
fourth Business Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or
airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the
telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when receipt is
confirmed (whether electronically or otherwise) by the notifying party; if
dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by
personal delivery, when delivered.

     SECTION 1.65   Execution of Operative Documents.  Unless Trustee otherwise
                    --------------------------------
specifies with respect to any Operative Document, (a) this Agreement and any
other Operative Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any
party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed
and delivered will be deemed to be an original (except to the extent set forth
in Section 15.3 of the Lease), and all of which counterparts of this Agreement
   ------------
or any other Operative Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be
deemed to be but one and the same instrument, and (b) execution of any such
counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of
such party.  The execution of this Agreement or any other Operative Document by
any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof
or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or
thereto.

     SECTION 1.66   No Third Parties Benefitted.  This Agreement is made for the
                    ---------------------------
purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of
Lessee, Lessor, Trustee, Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with
the Advances and Loans, as the case may be, and is made for the sole benefit of
Lessee, Lessor, Trustee, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Trustee's,
Lessor's, Lessee's, Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' permitted successors
and assigns.  Except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, no other Person shall
              ------                ------------     ---
have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

     SECTION 1.67   Confidentiality.  Each Participant agrees to hold all
                    ---------------
confidential information that it may receive from Lessee pursuant to this
Agreement or other Operative

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

Documents in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Participants; (b)
                         ------
to legal counsel and accountants for Lessee or any Participant; (c) to other
professional advisors to Lessee or any Participant, provided that the recipient
                                                    --------
has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement
substantially similar to this Section; (d) to regulatory officials having
jurisdiction over that Participant; (e) to any Gaming Authority having
regulatory jurisdiction over Hollywood Casino, Lessee, HCS I, HCS II, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, provided that each Lender agrees to notify Lessee
                               --------
of any such disclosure unless prohibited by Applicable Laws; (f) as required by
Applicable Laws or legal process, provided that such Lender agrees to notify
Lessee of any such disclosures unless prohibited by Applicable Laws or in
connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Lessee are adverse
parties; and (g) to another financial institution in connection with a
disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part
of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes,
provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a
--------
confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section. For purposes of
the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting
Lessee, HCS I or HCS II, or their respective Subsidiaries, reasonably considered
by Lessee to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with
any Governmental Authority and available to the public, (ii) information
previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or
indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Hollywood
Casino, Lessee, HCS I, HCS II, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any
Person not associated with such Person without a confidentiality agreement or
obligation substantially similar to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall
be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of Trustee
or the Lenders to Lessee or any of its Affiliates.

     SECTION 1.68   Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other
                    -----------
Operative Documents to which Lessor, Lessee, Trustee, Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or any of them are party, the Arranger Fee Letter, the Administrative
Agent Fee Letter and the Trustee Fee Letter, constitute the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof.  In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any
other Operative Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and
govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor
        --------
of Lessor, Trustee, Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Operative
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Operative
Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties
thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but
rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     SECTION 1.69   Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Operative
                    --------------------------
Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any
party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions, or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to
any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of
all Operative Documents are declared to be severable.

Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory
jurisdiction over Lessee, its Restricted Subsidiaries, HCS I and HCS II
including the provision of such documents or other information as may be
requested by any such Gaming Authorities relating to Lessee, any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, HCS I or HCS II, or to the Operative Documents.

                    ---------------
Trustee and Lessor to release the Lien created by the Lease against the
Equipment at the expense of Lessee promptly upon Lessee's payment in full, in
immediately available funds, of the Lease Balance and of all other amounts then
due and owing under the Operative Documents or in the event such Equipment is
released from the Trust Estate in accordance with the Operative Documents.

          Each Lender, at the expense of Lessee, will promptly and duly execute
and deliver all documents and take such further action as may be necessary or
advisable to release, in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the applicable
Liens, including, if requested by Lessee, the recording or filing of any
document evidencing the release of such Liens in accordance with the Applicable
Laws of the appropriate jurisdictions.

     SECTION 1.74   Transaction Costs.  Lessee shall pay all Transaction Costs
                    -----------------
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  In
addition, Lessee agrees to pay or reimburse, on demand, (a) Administrative Agent
and Lessor for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with (i) entering into, or
the giving or withholding of, any future amendments, supplements, waivers or

enforcement or attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies
under the Operative Documents; and (iii) any transfer by an Indemnitee of any
interest in the Loan or the Notes during the continuance of an Event of Default.
The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees,

----------
expenses of a single counsel to Administrative Agent, Trustee and Lessor. Such
costs and expenses shall also include, in the case of any amendment or waiver of
any Operative Document requested by Lessee, the reasonable administrative costs
of Trustee reasonably attributable thereto. Lessee shall pay any and all
documentary and other taxes pursuant to Article 8. Any amount payable to any

SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES, EXCEPT BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING
SIGNED BY TEE PARTIES HERETO.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES.

     SECTION 1.77   Reproduction of Documents.  This Agreement, all documents
                    -------------------------
constituting Schedules or Exhibits hereto, and all documents relating hereto
received by a party hereto, including:  (a) consents, waivers and modifications
that may hereafter be executed; (b) documents received by Lessor or Trustee in
connection with Lessor's receipt and/or acquisition of the Equipment; and (c)
financial statements, certificates, and other information previously or
hereafter furnished to Lessor or Trustee may be reproduced by Lessor or Trustee
by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic
or other similar process.  Each of the Lenders agrees and stipulates that, to
the extent permitted by law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in
evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding
(whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made by Lessor or Trustee in the regular course of business)
and that, to the extent permitted by law, any enlargement, facsimile, or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence;
provided, however, that no such reproduction shall be presented or accepted in
--------  -------
lieu of the original of such reproduction for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC
or any other applicable laws regarding chattel paper.

     SECTION 1.78   Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN, AND
                    -------------
SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
OF SUCH STATE, EXCEPT TO

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

THE EXTENT THAT THE EXERCISE OF CERTAIN DEFAULT RIGHTS OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR
UNDER THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS MAY REQUIRE COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE GAMING LAWS) OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

     SECTION 1.79   Compliance with Law.  It is the intent of Lessee and the
                    -------------------
Participants to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable
usury law from time to time in effect.  All agreements among any of the
Participants and Lessee (of any other party liable with respect to any of the
Obligations under the Operative Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions
of this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether
now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral.  In no way, nor
in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default,
demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall
the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this
Agreement or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under
applicable law.  If, from any possible construction of any document, interest
would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such
construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and such
document shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under
applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
document.  If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is
characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this
provision be in excess of the maximum lawful nonusurious amount, an amount equal
to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty,
be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Obligations
evidenced hereby in the inverse order of their maturity and not to the payment
of interest, or refunded to Lessee or the other payor thereof if and to the
extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid
principal.  The right to accelerate maturity of the Obligations pursuant to any
Operative Document does not include the right to accelerate any interest which
has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and the Lenders do
not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of
acceleration.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of
such Obligations so that the amount of interest on account of such Obligations
does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.  As
used in this paragraph, the term "applicable law" shall mean such laws as they
now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

     SECTION 1.80   Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  EACH PARTY TO THIS
                    --------------------------------
AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT OR IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO
THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO
THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     SECTION 1.81 Nonrecourse to Paddlewheels. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Operative Document,
Paddlewheels shall have no liability for the payment of Rent by Lessee under the
Lease or performance of any covenant, representation, warranty or obligation of
Lessee under any Operative Document.

     SECTION 1.82 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that Lessee makes a payment
to Trustee, Lessor, Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or Lessor, Trustee,
Administrative Agent or the Lenders exercise their right of set-off, and such
payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party, in connection with any insolvency of Lessee, HCS I, HCS II or
any Subsidiary of Lessee, then (a) 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
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
Administrative Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered
for distribution by Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 1.83 No Marshaling/Other Loans and Set-Off. Notwithstanding any
provisions in documents related to other credit facilities or other agreements
between any Lender and Lessee, no Lender hereunder may be compelled to marshal
any collateral or other assets it may hold from or for the benefit of Lessee.
Any Lender may make other extensions of credit, or renew or extend any existing
extensions of credit to Lessee or have other relationships with Lessee. No
Lender shall have any right or interest in any property taken as collateral for
such other extensions of credit or in any property or deposit in the possession
or control of any other Lender that may be or become collateral for or otherwise
available for payment of the obligations hereunder by reason of the inclusion of
any "cross-reference" provisions in the documentation associated with such other
extensions of credit, provided, however, if any Lender with such rights elects
to exercise any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim, all Lenders
shall be entitled to a pro rata share of the proceeds realized as a result of
such exercise. Lessee expressly consents to the foregoing.

     SECTION 1.84 Trust Agreement. The provisions of Section 5.1 of the Trust
Agreement limiting the reimbursement and indemnification obligations of the
Lenders are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

     SECTION 1.85 Purported Oral Amendments. LESSEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER OPERATIVE

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF
WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION
9.3. LESSEE AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF TRUSTEE,
LESSOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 9.3
TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS.

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

                  Pursuant to Gaming Laws in Louisiana, the transactions
evidenced by the Operative Documents require the approval of the Louisiana
Gaming Control Board ("LGCB"), which approval has been obtained.

                  The exercise of remedies by any Participant under any of the
Operative Documents with respect to the Collateral will be limited by Gaming
Laws in Louisiana, which generally require that persons who own or operate a
riverboat casino, receive payments under a casino management agreement or
purchase, possess or sell gaming equipment, hold a valid riverboat gaming
license. No person may hold a riverboat gaming license in Louisiana unless the
person is found qualified or suitable by the LGCB. In order for a Participant to
be found qualified or suitable, the LGCB would have discretionary authority to
require such Participant to file applications and be investigated and found
qualified or suitable as an owner or operator of gaming establishments or
supplier of gaming equipment. If such a Participant is unable or chooses not to
qualify, be found suitable or be licensed to own, operate or sell the
Collateral, it will have to retain an entity licensed to own, operate or sell
the Collateral, which will also be subject to approval by the LGCB. In addition,
in any foreclosure sale or subsequent resale by a Participant, licensing
requirements under Gaming Laws in Louisiana may limit the number of potential
bidders and may delay any sale, which could have an adverse effect on the sale
price of the Collateral.

Venture Agreement of Hollywood Casino Shreveport (Formerly known as the "Queen
of New Orleans at the Hilton Joint Venture" and "QNOV") dated July 21, 1999,
among Shreveport Paddlewheels, L.L.C. ("Shreveport Paddlewheels"), HCS I and HCS

"Queen of New Orleans at the Hilton Joint Venture" and "QNOV") dated August 2,
1999, among Shreveport Paddlewheels, HCS I and HCS II, including, without

                  In The Committee on Equity in Gaming and Tourism and James
Pannell v. Mayor Keith Hightower, No. 447273-B, First Judicial District Court,
Caddo Parish, Louisiana, the plaintiffs have sought, among other things, a writ
of mandamus directing Shreveport Mayor Keith Hightower to find Lessee in
non-monetary default of that certain Ground Lease dated May 19, 1999 between the
City of Shreveport and Lessee (the "Ground Lease") as a result of Lessee's
alleged failure to satisfy certain minority and women owned business procurement
goals set forth in the Ground Lease. Plaintiffs recently sought and obtained
approval to dismiss their mandamus claims and seek declaratory judgment relief.

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

         This LEASE INTENDED AS SECURITY (as amended, restated, supplemented, or
otherwise modified from time to time, this "Lease"), dated as of March 31, 2000,
is between FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, not in its individual

execution and delivery by Lessee on any Advance Date of a Certificate of

subject thereof for all purposes of this Lease and the other Operative
Documents.

         SECTION 1.3 Lease Term. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall

                                   ARTICLE III

                        RENT; QUIET ENJOYMENT; NET LEASE

         SECTION 1.4 Periodic Rent. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay to

         SECTION 1.5 Supplemental Rent. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor, or to whomever shall be entitled to payment thereof as expressly
provided herein or in any other Operative Document (and Lessor hereby directs
Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, so to pay any such other Person) any and all
Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become due and payable, and, in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor
shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in
equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Periodic Rent. Lessee hereby
reaffirms its obligation to pay as Supplemental Rent (i) an amount equal to

determined to be due and payable pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Trust Agreement
in accordance with its terms.

         SECTION 1.6 Place and Manner of Payment. Rent and all other sums due to

enjoy the Equipment for the Lease Term, free of any claim or other action by
Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor (other than Lessee) with
respect to any matters arising from and after the Initial Advance Date. Such
right of quiet enjoyment shall be independent of, and shall not affect Lessor's
rights otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce, the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease. Lessor shall at all

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

times comply with Section 6.1 of the Participation Agreement regarding the
discharge of Lessor Liens attributable to it.

         SECTION 1.9 Net Lease; No Setoff, Etc. THIS LEASE SHALL CONSTITUTE A
NET LEASE AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LEASE TO THE
CONTRARY, IT IS INTENDED THAT PERIODIC RENT AND SUPPLEMENTAL RENT SHALL BE PAID
WITHOUT COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEDUCTION OR DEFENSE OF ANY KIND AND WITHOUT
ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION OR REDUCTION OF ANY KIND, AND
LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL SUCH AMOUNTS, THROUGHOUT THE LEASE TERM IS
ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. The obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder
shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason,
including, without limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) any
defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or
fitness for use of any item of Equipment, or any failure of any item of
Equipment to comply with all Applicable Laws, including any inability to use any
item of Equipment by reason of such noncompliance; (b) any damage to,
abandonment, loss, destruction, requisition, taking or contamination of or
release of Hazardous Materials from any item of Equipment other than Lessor's
Liens; (c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or any interference
with the construction or any use of any item of Equipment; (d) the attachment of
any Lien of any third party to any item of Equipment other than Lessor's Liens;
(e) any prohibition or restriction of or interference with Lessee's use of any
or all of the Equipment by any Person; (f) any change, waiver, extension,
indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or
liability of or by Lessor as Trustee or Lessor, Administrative Agent or any
Lender; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee, Lessor as
Trustee or Lessor, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, or any
action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee, receiver or keeper of
Lessee, Lessor as Trustee or Lessor, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (h) any claim that Lessee
has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, Lessor as
Trustee or Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Lender; (i) other than Lessor's
obligations under Section 3.5 of this Lease and Section 6.1(b) of the
Participation Agreement, any failure on the part of Lessor as Trustee or Lessor,
to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, any other Operative
Document or of any other agreement whether or not related to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents; (j) any invalidity or unenforceability
or disaffirmance against or by Lessee of this Lease or any provision hereof or
any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (k) the
impossibility of performance by Lessee or Lessor, or both; (l) any action by any
court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority; or (m) any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Lessee
shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as specifically
set forth in Articles V or X of this Lease, this Lease shall be noncancellable
by Lessee for any reason whatsoever, and Lessee, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws and Gaming Laws, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by
statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any
diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable by Lessee hereunder. If for
any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly provided in
Articles V or X of this Lease, Lessee shall, unless prohibited by Applicable
Laws, nonetheless pay to Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to
whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to each Rent payment at the
time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under
the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole or in part, and
in such case, so long as such payments are made and no Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor will deem this Lease to have
remained in effect. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee hereunder shall be final
and, absent manifest error in the determination of the amount thereof, Lessee
shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from
Lessor, Administrative Agent or any party to any agreements related thereto for
any reason whatsoever. Lessee assumes the sole responsibility for the condition,
use, operation, maintenance and management of the Equipment, and Lessor shall
have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage
to the property of Lessee or any sublessee of Lessee on any account or for any
reason whatsoever other than by reason of Lessor's willful misconduct or gross
negligence or breach of any of its obligations under any Operative Document.

         SECTION 1.10 No Bar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth
herein shall bar, limit, preclude, prevent, stay or otherwise adversely affect
Lessee's right or ability to bring and pursue any action for monetary damages
against Lessor, as Lessor and/or Trustee, or any other Person for any breach or
alleged breach of its obligations hereunder or under any other Operative
Document.

         SECTION 1.11 Intent of the Parties. Lessor and Lessee further intend
and agree that this Lease is a financing transaction and that, for the purpose
of securing Lessee's obligations for the repayment of the Advances from Lessor
to Lessee and from the Lenders to Lessor for the benefit of Lessee, (i) this
Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and financing statement
within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the conveyance provided for
hereby shall be deemed to be a grant by Lessee to Lessor, for the benefit of the
Lenders, of a security interest in all of Lessee's present and future right,
title and interest in the Equipment, including but not limited to Lessee's
leasehold estate therein and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, investments, securities or other
property, whether in the form of cash, investments, securities or other property
to secure such Advances, effective on the date hereof, to have and to hold such
interests in the Equipment unto Lessor, for the benefit of the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, forever, provided always that these presents
are upon the express condition that, if all amounts due under this Lease and the
other Operative Documents shall have been paid and satisfied in full, then this
instrument and the estate hereby granted shall cease and become void without
further action by any party and Lessor shall, for the consideration set forth in
Section 5.2 plus the payment of reimbursable costs and expenses, convey the
Equipment to Lessee as herein set forth; (iii) the possession by Lessor or its
assigns of notes and such other items of property of Lessee as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the UCC; and (iv) notifications to Persons
holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessee shall be
deemed to have been given

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law.
Lessor and Lessee shall, to the extent consistent with this Lease, take such
actions, and execute, deliver, file and record such other documents and
financing statements, as may be necessary to ensure that the security interest
in the Equipment created in accordance with this Lease will be deemed to be a
perfected security interest with priority over all Liens, other than Permitted
Liens, under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the Lease
Term.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            POSSESSION AND SUBLEASING

         SECTION 1.12 Possession and Subleasing. LESSEE SHALL NOT, WITHOUT THE
PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR, SUBLEASE ANY OR ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ASSIGN,
TRANSFER OR ENCUMBER ITS RIGHTS, INTERESTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY
ATTEMPTED SUBLEASE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBERING BY LESSEE SHALL BE NULL
AND VOID, except as provided hereinafter in this Article IV or pursuant to a
transaction permitted under Section 5.2 of the Participation Agreement. Lessee
may, with Lessor's and the Required Lenders' prior written consent, sublease the
Equipment as an integrated whole, if such sublease permitted by this Article IV
(a "Sublease") (a) is expressly subject and subordinate to all of the provisions
of this Lease and the rights and interests of Lessor, Administrative Agent and
the Lenders hereunder in respect of the Equipment covered by such Sublease upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder or hereunder, (b) expressly
requires the Equipment subject thereto to be returned as directed by Lessor or
the Required Lenders upon notice to such sublessee that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (c) expressly prohibits any further sublease or
assignment of the Equipment subject thereto. Lessee shall remain primarily
liable for its obligations under this Lease notwithstanding the existence of any
such Sublease. All of Lessee's right, title and interest in, to and under such
Sublease shall be pledged by Lessee to Lessor, as collateral for Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, and Lessee shall, at its expense, do any further
act, and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record any further
documents, which Lessor or any Lender may reasonably request in order to create,
perfect, preserve and protect Lessor's security interest in such Sublease. If so
requested by Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Lender, Lessee shall, within 15
days after the execution of any such Sublease, deliver a conformed copy thereof
to Lessor, Administrative Agent or such Lender as applicable.

                                LEASE TERMINATION

         SECTION 1.13 Early Termination. On any date after the commencement of
the Base Period, Lessee may, at its option, upon at least 30 days advance
written notice to Lessor, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Equipment
for an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued and

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

unpaid Rent payable on or before such date, (ii) the Lease Balance (after giving
effect to any payments pursuant to clause (i)) and (iii) all other fees and
expenses and other amounts (including all Supplemental Rent) then due and
payable pursuant to this Lease and the other Operative Documents.

         SECTION 1.14 Termination and Transfer. Upon payment in full in cash of
(a) all amounts then due and owing hereunder on the Lease Termination Date and
(b) $1.00, Lessor shall release the Equipment then subject to this Lease on the
Lease Termination Date from the Lien created by this Lease and transfer all of
Lessor's right, title and interest thereto to Lessee ("AS IS" and without any
representations or warranties and with the disclaimers set forth in Section 6.1,
except that such Equipment is free and clear of Lessor Liens), all at Lessee's
sole cost and expense.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                     DISCLAIMER AND ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANTIES

         SECTION 1.15 Disclaimer of Warranties. The Equipment, upon delivery
thereof to Lessee and execution by Lessee of a Certificate of Acceptance
therefor, is leased by Lessor to Lessee "AS IS" in its present or then
condition, as the case may be, subject to (a) any rights of any parties in
possession thereof, (b) the state of the title thereto existing at the time
Lessor acquired its interest in the Equipment, (c) any state of facts which a
physical inspection might show, (d) all Applicable Laws, and (e) any violations
of Applicable Laws which may exist at the time any such Equipment is accepted by
Lessee for lease hereunder. Lessee's execution and delivery to Lessor of a
Certificate of Acceptance for any Equipment shall be deemed to mean that Lessee
has examined such Equipment (insofar as Lessor is concerned) and has found the
same to be satisfactory. NEITHER LESSOR (AS TRUSTEE OR LESSOR), ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT NOR ANY LENDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY
WHATSOEVER, AS TO THE TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT OR TO THE VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY,
HABITABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE
OF THE SAME, OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY PART
THEREOF, AND NEITHER LESSOR (AS TRUSTEE OR LESSOR), ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY
LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT AND/OR
REDHIBITORY DEFECTS THEREIN OR THE FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY PART
THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS, except that Lessor hereby
represents and warrants that the Equipment is and shall be free of Lessor Liens
(such Lessor representation and warranty being made by (x) the Bank individually
with respect to any Lessor Liens attributable to the Bank, and (y) Bank, as
Trustee and as Lessor, with respect to any Lessor Liens attributable to
Trustee). Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Equipment is of a size,
design, capacity and manufacture selected by

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Lessee, (ii) Lessee is satisfied that the same is suitable for its purposes, and
(iii) neither Lessor (as Trustee or Lessor), Administrative Agent nor any Lender
is a manufacturer thereof or a dealer in the property of such kind. Lessee has
been afforded full opportunity to inspect the Equipment, is satisfied with the
results of its inspections and is entering into this Lease solely on the basis
of the results of its own inspections, and all risks incident to the matters
discussed in the preceding sentence, as between Lessor (as Trustee or Lessor),
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Lessee, on the other,
are to be borne by Lessee. The provisions of this Article VI have been
negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing
provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any
representations or warranties by any of Lessor (as Trustee or Lessor),
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, express or implied, with respect to the
Equipment (or any interest therein), that may arise pursuant to any law now or
hereafter in effect, or otherwise.

         SECTION 1.16 Assignment of Warranties. Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee,
to the extent assignable, all of its present and future interest, if any, in any
warranties, covenants and representations of any manufacturer or vendor of any
item of Equipment; provided that such assignment shall be effective only when no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided, further, that any
action taken by Lessee by reason thereof shall be at the expense of Lessee and
shall be consistent with Lessee's obligations pursuant to this Lease. So long as
no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon Lessee's
reasonable request and at Lessee's sole expense, Lessor shall enforce any
non-assignable warranties, covenants and representations of any manufacturer or
vendor of any item of Equipment, provided Lessee, at all times relevant to any
such enforcement, shall cooperate with Lessor in any manner reasonably requested
by Lessor.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                             MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR;
                            ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

         SECTION 1.17 Maintenance and Repair; Compliance With Law.

                  (1) Without limiting Lessee's obligations under Section 5.11
         of the Participation Agreement, Lessee, at its own expense, shall at
         all times maintain the Equipment in good and safe order, operating
         condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), substantially
         in conformance with the maintenance and repair standards and procedures
         as are set forth in the manufacturer's manuals pertaining to the
         Equipment (and in any event to at least as high a standard of
         maintenance and repair as Lessee and/or its Affiliates observe with
         respect to similar equipment owned or leased by Lessee or any such
         Affiliate) and as otherwise required to enforce claims against each
         vendor or manufacturer of each item of Equipment and in compliance in
         all material respects with Applicable Laws and the standards imposed by
         insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder with respect to
         the Equipment.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                  (2) In addition, Lessee shall make all necessary or
         appropriate repairs, replacements, substitutions and modifications in
         respect of the Equipment (or any component thereof) which may be
         required to keep the Equipment in the condition required above.

         SECTION 1.18 Alterations.

                  (1) If any item of Equipment or individual component thereof
         is required to be altered, added to, replaced, improved or modified in
         order to comply with Applicable Laws (a "Required Alteration"), Lessee
         shall notify Lessor and diligently proceed to make such Required
         Alteration at its own expense.

                  (2) Lessee, at its own expense, may make any alteration,
         addition, replacement, improvement or modification to any item of
         Equipment (a "Permitted Alteration"), or remove any part that becomes
         worn out, broken or obsolete, if Lessee continues to be in compliance
         with Section 7.1 and such action, when completed, will be of such
         character as not to materially adversely affect (i) the current fair
         market value of the item of Equipment, (ii) the originally anticipated
         use or function thereof, as applicable, and (iii) the originally
         anticipated residual value of the item of Equipment.

                  (3) All Alterations shall be completed in a commercially
         reasonable manner and shall not, when completed, violate the terms of
         any restriction, easement, servitude, condition, covenant or other
         matter affecting the Equipment.

                  (4) Neither Lessor (as Trustee and/or Lessor) nor
         Administrative Agent need inquire into or confirm that Alterations were
         made in conformity with the requirements of this Section 7.2.

         SECTION 1.19 Replacement and Substitution. Lessee may replace an item
of Equipment subject to this Lease with a replacement item of equipment that
meets the suitability standards set forth in Section 9.1(b). Lessee may request
the replacement of an item of Equipment by delivery of a replacement notice to
Lessor at least 10 days prior to the date of the proposed substitution. Upon a
permitted substitution of Equipment pursuant to this Section 7.3, Lessor, as
Lessor and Trustee, shall execute and deliver to Lessee a bill of sale (without
representations or warranties, except that the substituted item is free and
clear of all Lessor Liens) and such other documents as may be required to
release the substituted item from the terms of this Lease and the other
Operative Documents and transfer title to same to Lessee, all at Lessee's
expense. Leased items of Equipment that have been substituted or replaced
pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall become the property of Lessee, and title
thereto shall automatically vest in Lessee upon such permitted substitution or
replacement.

         SECTION 1.20 Removal. No Required Alteration may be removed or severed
from the item of Equipment to which it is attached (unless no longer required by
Applicable Laws so

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

long as clauses (i) and (iii) below are satisfied). A Permitted Alteration (or
component thereof) may be removed by Lessee at its expense if (i) it is readily
removable without causing material damage to the item of Equipment to which it
is attached, (ii) the removal does not violate Applicable Laws and (iii) no
Default or Event of Default is continuing.

         SECTION 1.21 Maintenance and Repair Reports. Lessee shall keep
maintenance and repair reports in sufficient detail, and as customary for owners
or operators of casinos, to indicate the nature and date of major work done.
Such reports shall be kept on file by Lessee at its offices during the Lease
Term, and shall be made available to Lessor, as Lessor and Trustee, upon
reasonable request. Lessee shall give notice to Lessor and Administrative Agent
of any Condemnation or Casualty the cost to repair which is reasonably expected
by Lessee to exceed $500,000 promptly after Lessee has knowledge thereof.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                       USE

         SECTION 1.22 Use. Lessee shall use and operate the Equipment in
material compliance with any and all Applicable Laws. Lessee shall procure and
maintain in effect all material licenses, registrations, certificates, permits,
approvals and consents required of it by Applicable Laws or any Governmental
Authority in connection with the ownership, delivery, installation, use and
operation of the Equipment. The Equipment will at all times be and remain in the
possession and control of Lessee, subject, however, to Articles IV and X. The
Equipment shall in no event be located outside of (i) the Resort except to the
extent necessary to effect maintenance, repair or servicing thereof and provided
Lessee shall have given Lessor prior written notice of any such relocation, (ii)
the State of Louisiana, without prior written notice to Lessor and the taking
(before such relocation) of all actions necessary to maintain the perfection of
the security interest of Lessor, as Lessor and Trustee, and Administrative Agent
therein, and (iii) the continental United States.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                        CASUALTY; REPLACEMENT; INSURANCE

         SECTION 1.23 Casualty.

                  (1) If a Casualty occurs with respect to an item or items of
         Equipment, Lessee shall (i) give prompt written notice of such
         occurrence and the date thereof to Lessor and (ii) if such Casualty
         causes damage in an aggregate amount in excess of $500,000, either (A)
         replace such item or items of Equipment with respect to which the
         Casualty has occurred pursuant to the following provisions of Section
         9.1(b) or (B) purchase such item or items of Equipment from Lessor, no
         later than the next

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

         Payment Date occurring at least 120 days after such Casualty (but in no
         event later than the Lease Termination Date), at a purchase price equal
         to the Casualty Item Amount.

                  (2) If any item of Equipment is to be replaced, no later than
         the earlier of (i) 120 days after the occurrence of a Casualty or (ii)
         the Lease Termination Date, Lessee will substitute equipment meeting
         the suitability standards set forth in this Section 9.1(b) for the item
         of Equipment suffering the Casualty. To be suitable as a replacement,
         such replacement item of equipment must be of the same general type,
         year of construction (or a later year of construction), function,
         utility, state of repair and operating condition as the item of
         Equipment suffering the Casualty, must have a fair market value of not
         less than the fair market value (immediately preceding the Casualty
         assuming that such item of Equipment had been maintained in accordance
         with Article VII) of the item of Equipment suffering the Casualty, and
         be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Lessee shall
         cause a Bill of Sale and a Certificate of Acceptance to be executed and
         delivered to Lessor in order to subject such replacement item of
         Equipment to this Lease, and upon such execution and delivery and the
         receipt by Lessor, as Trustee or Lessor, Administrative Agent and the
         Lenders of (i) a certificate of insurance in accordance with Section
         9.4 evidencing Lessee's compliance with the insurance provisions of
         Section 9.3 with respect to such replacement item of Equipment, and
         (ii) evidence to the effect that properly prepared financing statements
         have been filed and recorded in all public offices where necessary to
         perfect the security interest of Lessor in the replacement item of
         equipment, and that no other filing or recording or giving of notice
         with or to any other Governmental Authority is necessary to perfect the
         security interest of Lessor, as Lessor and Trustee, in such replacement
         item of equipment. Such replacement item of equipment shall be deemed
         an item of Equipment for all purposes hereof.

                  (3) If no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing and Lessee elects to replace any item of Equipment suffering
         a Casualty, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Lessor the
         Casualty Recoveries with respect thereto, to be used to reimburse
         Lessee for the cost of replacement of such item of Equipment after
         Lessee fully applies the Casualty Recoveries properly received by it in
         replacement of such item of Equipment pursuant to Section 9.1(d).
         Lessor, subject to the rights of any insurer insuring such item of
         Equipment as provided herein, promptly shall execute and deliver to
         Lessee, or to its assignee or nominee, a quitclaim bill of sale
         (without representations or warranties except that such item of
         Equipment is free and clear of Lessor Liens) for such item of
         Equipment, and such other documents as may be required to release such
         item of Equipment from the terms of this Lease and the other Operative
         Documents, in such form as may reasonably be requested by Lessee. All
         fees, costs and expenses relating to a substitution as described herein
         shall be borne by Lessee.

                  (4) All Casualty Recoveries in excess of $500,000 in respect
         of a Casualty to any item or items of Equipment shall be paid directly
         to Lessor to be held as cash collateral for the Obligations, subject to
         the release of proceeds provisions contained

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         herein, or if paid to Lessee, such excess funds shall be immediately
         paid by Lessee to Lessor. If a Lease Event of Default has occurred and
         is continuing (whether prior to or after delivery of any such Casualty
         Recoveries to Lessor), Lessor may retain all Casualty Recoveries as
         cash collateral or, if no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing, Lessee shall be entitled to apply all Casualty Recoveries
         in accordance with Section 9.1(c), and any balance remaining after
         compliance with Section 9.1(c) shall be retained by or returned to
         Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any Casualty Recoveries in
         excess of $500,000 until it applies all amounts received in relation to
         such Casualty Recovery of less than or equal to such amount in repair
         or replacement of the affected item of Equipment. If Lessor receives
         Casualty Recoveries in an amount that is less than $500,000, so long as
         no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall
         promptly remit such funds to Lessee. Notwithstanding any Casualty, all
         of Lessee's Obligations under this Lease (including its obligation to
         make all payments of Rent as they become due) shall continue unabated
         and in full force and effect as provided in this Lease.

         SECTION 1.24 Non-Casualty Losses.

                  (1) If any item of Equipment suffers any condemnation, loss,
         physical harm or damage not constituting a Casualty (a "Non-Casualty
         Loss"), Lessee shall repair such item of Equipment.

                  (2) All Non-Casualty Recoveries in excess of $500,000 in
         respect of any Non-Casualty Loss to an item or items of Equipment
         (including any component thereof) shall be paid directly to Lessor to
         be held as cash collateral for the Obligations, subject to the release
         of proceeds provisions contained herein. Non-Casualty Recoveries held
         by Lessor shall be disbursed by Lessor to Lessee from time to time (but
         no more frequently than once per calendar month) to pay Lessee for the
         costs of repairing and rebuilding the affected portions of the
         Equipment as required under Section 9.2(a), subject to such reasonable
         disbursement conditions as Lessor may impose, including presentation of
         invoices and other supporting documentation reflecting such costs and
         delivery of Lien waivers; provided, however, Lessor shall have no
         obligation to disburse any Non-Casualty Recoveries at any time that
         Lessor shall reasonably determine (i) that such Non-Casualty Recoveries
         are not sufficient to repair and rebuild the affected portions of the
         Equipment as required by Section 9.2(a) (unless additional funds which
         are, in the sole discretion of Lessor, sufficient to so repair and
         rebuild the affected portions of the Equipment have been deposited with
         Lessor) or (ii) that Lessee is not diligently performing its
         obligations under Section 9.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing
         provisions of this Section 9.2(b), and provided no Lease Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing, if the aggregate amount of
         Non-Casualty Recoveries attributable to any Non-Casualty Loss is
         $500,000 or less, Lessee may receive such Non-Casualty Recoveries
         directly, without delivery to Lessor, provided such Non-Casualty
         Recoveries are applied in accordance with the requirements of Section
         9.2(a). If Lessor receives Non-Casualty Recoveries in an amount that is
         less than $500,000, so long as no Lease

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall promptly
         remit such funds to Lessee. Notwithstanding any Non-Casualty Loss, all
         of Lessee's obligations under this Lease (including its obligation to
         make all payments of Rent as they become due) shall continue unabated
         and in full force and effect as provided in this Lease.

         SECTION 1.25 Required Coverages. Lessee will keep the Equipment insured
by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage of the kinds
and in the amounts customarily insured against by similar Persons engaged in
similar operations and carry such other insurance as is usually carried by such
Persons, provided that in any event Lessee shall maintain:

                  (1) Casualty Insurance. Insurance against all risks of loss or
         damage covering the Equipment and each part thereof with deductibles
         and in such minimum amounts as are consistent with industry standards;
         provided, however, that at no time shall the amount of coverage, on a
         replacement cost basis, be less than one hundred ten percent of the
         then outstanding Lease Balance.

                  (2) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance. Combined single
         limit insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or third-party
         property damage occurring on, in or about the Equipment in an amount at
         least equal to $75,000,000 per occurrence with such deductibles as are
         carried by similarly situated Persons involved in operating similar
         facilities and equipment.

                  (3) Other Insurance. Such other insurance including workmen's
         compensation and business interruption insurance, in each case as
         generally carried by owners of similar equipment in the State of
         Louisiana, in such amounts and against such risks as are then customary
         for equipment similar in use.

Such insurance shall be written by reputable insurance companies that are
financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably appropriate considering
the amount and type of insurance being provided by such companies. In the case
of liability insurance maintained by Lessee, each policy shall name Bank,
individually and as Trustee and Lessor, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as
additional insureds. In the case of casualty and property insurance maintained
by Lessee, each policy shall name Bank, as Trustee and Lessor, Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as sole loss payees. Each policy referred to in this
Section 9.3 shall provide that: (i) it will not be canceled or its limits
reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to each additional insured; (ii) the interests of
Bank, individually and as Trustee and Lessor, Administrative Agent and all
Lenders shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of Lessee or any
Person having an interest in the Resort or any item of Equipment; (iii) such
insurance is primary with respect to any other insurance carried by or available
to Bank, individually and as Trustee and Lessor, Administrative Agent and all
Lenders; (iv) the insurer shall waive any right of subrogation, setoff,
counterclaim, or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against
Administrative Agent or Lessor individually and as Trustee and Lessor; and (v)
such policy shall contain a severability of interest clause providing for
coverage of Bank, individually and as Trustee and Lessor, Administrative Agent
and each

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

Lender as if separate policies had been issued to each of them, with the
understanding that the inclusion of more than one insured will not operate to
increase the limit of liability of such policy beyond the amount set forth in
Section 9.3(b). Lessee will notify Lessor and Administrative Agent promptly of
any policy cancellation, reduction in policy limits, modification or amendment.
Unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
Participant shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to
any insured loss without the prior written consent of Lessee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         SECTION 1.26 Delivery of Insurance Certificates. On or before the
Closing Date and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of the expiring policies which are required to be maintained
pursuant to Section 9.3 and upon written request of Lessor after a Lease Event
of Default, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Administrative Agent certificates

Affiliates is determined to have a material "accumulated funding deficiency" as
that term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA and such event would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or if Lessee or any of its ERISA

         SECTION 1.28 Remedies. If any Lease Event of Default exists and is
continuing, Lessor shall have the rights, options and remedies of a secured
party at law and in equity and, without limiting the foregoing, Lessor, so long
as such Lease Event of Default is continuing, may exercise in any order one or
more or all of the following remedies, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws (it being understood that no remedy herein conferred is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but each and every remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute), as Lessor, in its sole
discretion, shall determine, without limiting any other right or remedy Lessor,
as Lessor and/or Trustee, may have on account of such Lease Event of Default:

                  (1) Lessor may proceed by appropriate court action or actions,
         either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the
         applicable covenants of this Lease or to recover damages for the breach
         thereof; or (1)

                  (2) Lessor may by notice in writing to Lessee terminate this
         Lease, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided; and
         Lessor may, at its option, do any one or more of the following: (i)
         declare the Lease Balance, all accrued but unpaid Rent (to the extent
         of the accrued unpaid interest on the Notes), and all other amounts
         then payable by Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative
         Documents to be immediately due and payable, and recover any other
         damages and expenses (including, without limitation, the costs and
         expenses described in Sections 7.1 and 9.16 of the Participation
         Agreement) in addition thereto which Lessor shall have sustained by
         reason of such Lease Event of Default; (ii) enforce the Lien given
         hereunder pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable law; and (iii)
         enter upon the premises where any item of Equipment may be and either
         remove such Equipment (or any portion thereof), with any damage to the
         improvements upon which the Equipment may be attached to be borne by
         Lessee, or take possession of the Equipment; or

                  (3) Lessor may require Lessee immediately to purchase the
         Equipment (or the remaining portion thereof) in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 5.1.

If a Lease Event of Default is continuing, amounts received by Lessor from the
deposit of Casualty Recoveries and Non-Casualty Recoveries with Lessor pursuant
to Article IX will be applied against Lessee's liabilities hereunder. If, as a
consequence of the exercise by Lessor of its remedies pursuant to this Section
10.2, the Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing from Lessee under
this Lease and the other Operative Documents have been paid in full, then Lessor
shall remit to Lessee any excess amounts received by Lessor.

         If any Lease Event of Default with respect to Lessee described in
Section 10.1(f) or 10.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the
entire outstanding Lease Balance, and all accrued Rent and other amounts payable
under the Operative Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due
and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, declaration, protest

                                      -16-

or requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

         SECTION 1.29 Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 10.2, Lessee waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, (a) any notice of the institution of legal proceedings to
obtain possession; (b) any right of redemption or repossession; (c) the benefit
of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent
or for debt or limiting Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; and (d)
any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or
remedies under this Article X.

         SECTION 1.30 Power of Attorney. Lessee unconditionally and irrevocably
appoints Lessor, as Lessor and Trustee, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
with full power of substitution, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in
its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale,
assignment, transfer or delivery hereunder, if a Lease Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or
otherwise, and in connection therewith to execute and deliver all such deeds,
bills of sale, assignments, releases (including releases of this Lease on the
records of any Governmental Authority) and other proper instruments as Lessor
may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate. Lessee ratifies and confirms
all that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. If
requested by Lessor or any purchaser, Lessee shall ratify and confirm any such
lawful sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and delivering to
Lessor or such purchaser, all deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and
other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be
designated in any such request.

         SECTION 1.31 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents. To the extent
permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws,
each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or
otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy
shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time
or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lessor in the
exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall
impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any
default on the part of Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. Lessor's consent
to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the
necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to all similar
requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of Default
shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent
Lease Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Lessee
hereby waives any right now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that
may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Equipment in mitigation
of Lessor's damages upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease
Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or
remedies under this Article X.

         SECTION 1.32 Additional Louisiana Provisions.

                  (1) The term "Louisiana Collateral" as used herein shall refer

         otherwise subject to Louisiana law at all times during which such
         portions or proceeds thereof are located in Louisiana or are otherwise
         mandatorily subject to the application of Louisiana law under the
         Applicable Laws of other states. This Article XI shall apply to all
         Louisiana Collateral and all proceeds thereof at all times during which
         such Louisiana Collateral or the proceeds thereof are located in
         Louisiana or are otherwise subject to the application of Louisiana law

         employer identification number that is not made by Lessee within thirty
         (30) days after such change. In the event of any change whatsoever in
         Lessee's employer identification number, Lessee will execute and file
         any new financing statements or other documents that are necessary or
         desirable, as determined by Lessor, in its sole discretion, to preserve
         and continue Lessor's security interests under this Lease within thirty
         (30) days after such change.

                  (4) During the continuance of any Lease Event of Default,
         Lessor shall have the following rights and remedies with respect to the
         Louisiana Collateral, which rights and remedies are in addition to and

                ------
         than Louisiana, or at law or equity generally:

                           (1) Lessor may cause the Louisiana Collateral, or any

                  found, and sold, whether in term

                                      -18-

                  in accordance with applicable Louisiana law, to the highest
                  bidder for cash, with or without appraisement, without the
                  necessity of making additional demand, or of notifying Lessee,
                  or placing Lessee in default.

                           (2) For purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana
                  executory process procedures, Lessee confesses judgment and
                  acknowledges to be indebted unto and in favor of Lessor up to

                  and all other Operative Document, in principal, interest,
                  costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and
                  charges. To the extent permitted under applicable Louisiana
                  law, Lessee waives: (a) the benefit of appraisal as provided
                  in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of

                  Articles 2331 and 2722 of the Louisiana Code of Civil
                  Procedure; and (e) all other benefits provided under Articles
                  2331, 2722 and 2723 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure

                  Civil Procedure not specifically listed hereinabove.

                           (3) Should any of the Louisiana Collateral be seized
                  as an incident to an action for the recognition or enforcement
                  of the Obligations of Lessee under this Lease or any other
                  Operative Document, by executory process, sequestration,
                  attachment, writ of fieri facias or otherwise, Lessee
                                      ------------
                  agrees that the court issuing any such order shall, if
                  requested by Lessor, appoint Lessor or any Person named by
                  Lessor at the time such seizure is requested, or at any time
                  thereafter, as keeper of the Louisiana Collateral as provided
                  under La. R.S.ss.ss. 9:5136 et seq. Lessee agrees to pay the
                                              ------
                  reasonable fees of such keeper, which fees to the keeper shall
                  also be a part of the Obligations of Lessee under this Lease.

                           (4) Should it become necessary for Lessor to
                  foreclose against the Louisiana Collateral, all declarations
                  of fact that are made in an authentic act passed before a
                  Notary Public in the presence of two witnesses, by a person
                  declaring such facts to lie within his or her knowledge, shall
                  constitute authentic evidence for purposes of executory
                  process and also for purposes of La. R.S.ss. 9:3509.1, La.
                  R.S.ss. 9:3504(D)(6) and La. R.S.ss. 10:9-508, as applicable.

                  (5) Anything to the contrary contained in this Lease
         notwithstanding, the perfection of the security interests in the
         Louisiana Collateral granted in this Lease and the Lessor's remedies in
         the courts sitting in and for the State of Louisiana with respect to
         the Louisiana Collateral shall be governed by Louisiana law, with

upon five (5) Business Days prior notice (except that in any circumstance in

possibility of criminal liability to any Lender, no notice shall be required),
without waiving or releasing any Obligation of Lessee or any Lease Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of
Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, including

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                               -------------------

         WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to pay costs associated with the
acquisition of Equipment and to pay certain costs and expenses related thereto,
all as more particularly described in the Participation Agreement of even date
herewith and in each of the other Operative Documents; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to borrow from the Lenders certain costs

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

SECTION1~1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise

Participation Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Hollywood Casino
Shreveport, a Louisiana general partnership, as Lessee; the Borrower, as Trustee
and Lessor; Administrative Agent; the Arranger, Documentation Agent and the
Lenders identified therein (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, the "Participation Agreement") for all purposes hereof.

                                   ARTICLE II

                        AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS;
                        REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF LOANS

     SECTION 1 1 Commitment; Term. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and of the Participation Agreement, each Lender severally, but not jointly,
agrees to make loans to the

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

Borrower ("Loans") from time to time through the Commitment Period for the
purpose of enabling Borrower, as Trustee and Lessor, to pay for Equipment Costs,
in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the
amount of such Lender's Commitment.

     SECTION 1 1 Notes.

     (1) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note
of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (as amended,
modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, a "Note"), with
appropriate insertions as to payee and principal amount, duly executed by the
Borrower and payable to the order of such Lender and in a maximum principal
amount equal to such Lender's Commitment. Each Note shall be dated the Closing
Date and delivered to the related Lender in accordance with Section 2.3 of the
Participation Agreement. Each Note shall (i) be stated to mature on the Maturity
Date and (ii) bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to
time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as
provided in, and payable as specified in, Section 2.6.

     (2) Upon the consummation of each Advance, each Lender shall, and is hereby
authorized by the Borrower and Lessee to, record in its records the amount of
the Loan advanced by such Lender on such Advance Date, the date and amount of
each continuation or conversion of such Loan, the length of each Interest Period
with respect thereto and the date and amount of each payment of principal and/or
interest relating thereto; provided, that the failure to make any such
recordation shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower under the Notes or
the corresponding obligation of Lessee to pay Rent. In all events, prior to any
transfer of its Note, a Lender shall indicate in writing to its transferee the
date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it which is still outstanding and
the amounts of accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

     SECTION 1 1 Procedure for Borrowing.

     (1) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement and
this Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall borrow under the Commitments on each
Advance Date upon receipt by Administrative Agent from Lessee of the Advance
Request in accordance with Section 2.4(a) of the Participation Agreement.

     (2) Any Advance Request shall be delivered to the Trustee (as Trustee,
Lessor and Borrower), Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.4 of the Participation Agreement. Each Lender will fund its pro rata
share of the Advance in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Participation
Agreement.

     SECTION II.1. Prepayments; Lease Termination Payments.

     (3) Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each Loan
(including any Additional Costs) upon the Maturity Date.

     (4) On each Payment Date during the Base Period, the Borrower shall make a

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

mandatory repayment of a portion of the outstanding principal amount of each
Note in an amount determined pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Participation
Agreement.

     (5) No other principal amortization of the Loans will be required prior to
the Maturity Date thereof, except that upon the occurrence of (i) a Casualty
that results in a purchase by Lessee of the Equipment suffering the Casualty,
(ii) Lessee exercising the early termination option to purchase all of the
Equipment pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Lease or (iii) a Lease Event of Default
that results in Borrower, as Lessor and Trustee, exercising its right to have
Lessee purchase all of the Equipment, the Borrower shall prepay the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans or in the event of a Casualty, an
amount equal to the Casualty Item Amount, together with interest accrued to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount so prepaid, plus, Additional
Costs, if any.

     SECTION 1 1 Interest Rates. The Loans shall accrue interest at the
applicable Interest Rate from time to time in effect. The Interest Period for
which a LIBO Rate applies shall be three months unless the duration is shortened
as required by the definition of "Interest Period". Interest accrued on each
Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

     If all or a portion of the principal amount of or interest on the Notes
shall not be paid when due (whether at the Maturity Date thereof, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting the
rights of any Lender under Section 6.2, bear interest at the Overdue Rate, in
each case from the date first due until paid in full (as well after as before
judgment) payable on demand.

     SECTION 1 1 Determination of Interest Rate.

     (1) During such time as a LIBO Rate applies to any of the Notes, interest
in respect of such Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and
the actual number of days elapsed. During such time as the Alternate Base Rate
applies to any of the Notes, interest in respect of such Notes shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as applicable) day year and the actual
number of days elapsed. Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than 11:00 a.m., San Francisco time, one Business Day prior to
the first day of each Interest Period, notify the Borrower, who shall notify
Administrative Agent, Lessee and the Lenders of the LIBO Rate. Any change in the
Interest Rate on the Loans resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate
shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such
Alternate Base Rate changes as provided herein.

     (2) Except as provided in Section 2.10 or Section 2.13, all Loans shall be
LIBO Rate Loans. LIBO Rate Loans shall be made by each Lender at its LIBOR
Office. At the end of each Interest Period, all LIBO Rate Loans shall
automatically be continued.

     SECTION 1 1 Pro Rata Treatment Among Loans. Except as otherwise expressly
set forth in Article III, each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro
rata among the Loans. Administrative Agent will apply any prepayments in
reduction of Loans so that the Borrower's funding losses under

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Section 2.12 are minimized. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, at Administrative Agent's office referred to in Schedule III of the
Participation Agreement, in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds. Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments
to each Lender at its Lending Office, promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received.

     SECTION 1 1 Payment from Trust Estate Only. All payments to be made by the
Borrower in respect of the Loans and this Loan Agreement shall be made only from
the income and the proceeds from the Trust Estate and only to the extent that
the Borrower shall have received sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust
Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Article III. Each
Lender agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Estate to the extent available for distribution to such Lender as herein
provided and that neither the Borrower nor Administrative Agent is or shall be
personally liable to any Lender for any amount payable hereunder or under any
Note except as specifically provided for in the Trust Agreement or the
Participation Agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall apply whether
or not a Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 1 1 Taxes.

     (1) Subject to subsection (b) below, any and all payments by the Borrower
to each Lender or Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement and any other
Operative Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.

     (2) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section) paid by any Lender or Administrative Agent and any liability (including
penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted, other than Taxes or Other Taxes described in Section 8.2 of
the Participation Agreement. Payment under this indemnification shall be made
within 30 days after the date any applicable Lender or Administrative Agent
makes written demand therefor.

     (3) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any
Lender or Administrative Agent, then:

          (1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
     making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and
     withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such
     Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount
     equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or
     withholdings been made; (1)

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          (2) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

          (3) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
     relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable
     Law; and

          (4) the Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent for the
     account of each Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional
     amounts which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the
     after-tax yield the Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes
     had not been imposed.

     (4) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes
or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent the original or
a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

     (5) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to
eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter
accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

     SECTION 1 1 Illegality.

     (1) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirements of
Law, or any change in any Requirements of Law, or in the interpretation or
administration of any Requirements of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any
central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make LIBO Rate Loans, then,
on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through Administrative Agent,
any obligation of that Lender to make LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until
that Lender notifies Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

     (2) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBO Rate
Loan in accordance with clause (a) above, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt
of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to
Administrative Agent), prepay in full such LIBO Rate Loans of that Lender then
outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of
the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans; provided that before making any such
demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office if such designation would make it lawful for such Lender to make
or maintain LIBO Rate Loans. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any LIBO
Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow
from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, an Alternate Base
Rate Loan. (1)

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     SECTION II.2. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

     (3) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the
compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there
shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, or making,
funding or maintaining, any LIBO Rate Loans by an amount which such Lender deems
material, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time,
upon notice and demand (with a copy of such notice and demand to be sent to
Administrative Agent), pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs; provided that before making any such demand, such Lender agrees
to use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office if such
designation would allow such Lender to continue to make or maintain LIBO Rate
Loans or materially reduce the amount of such cost.

     (4) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or
its Lending Office) or any Person controlling such Lender with any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's
policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on
capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a
consequence of its Commitments, Loans, credits or obligations under this Loan
Agreement, then, upon notice and demand of such Lender to the Borrower through
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time
as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increase; provided that before making any such demand, such
Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office
if such designation would allow such Lender to continue to make or maintain LIBO
Rate Loans or materially reduce the amount of such cost.

     SECTION 1 1 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and
hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of:

     (1) the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of
principal of any LIBO Rate Loan;

     (2) the failure of the Borrower to borrow or convert a Loan after the
Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) an Advance Request;

     (3) the failure of the Borrower to make any required prepayment;

     (4) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof)
of a LIBO

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the
     relevant Interest Period; or

     (5) the automatic conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan to an Alternate Base
Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising by reason of the liquidation or
re-employment of deposits or other funds obtained by it to make, continue or
maintain its LIBO Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained; provided, however, that such Lender shall have
delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     SECTION 1 1 Inability to Determine Rates. If Administrative Agent
determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or that the LIBO Rate applicable for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative
Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans hereunder shall be
suspended until Administrative Agent revokes such notice in writing. The Lenders
shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such
Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Alternate Base Rate Loans instead
of LIBO Rate Loans.

     SECTION 1 1 Lender Certificate. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, showing in reasonable detail the
calculation thereof, submitted by any Lender through Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that the determination
of such amounts shall be made in good faith and in a manner generally consistent
with such Lender's standard practices.

     SECTION 1 1 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent any notice required by
Section 2.9 through Section 2.12 is given by any Lender more than ninety (90)
days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in
amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such
Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under such Sections for any such
amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

     SECTION 1 1 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in
this Article II shall survive the payment of all other Obligations for a period
of nine (9) months thereafter.

     SECTION 1 1 Rent Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3
and subject to Section 3.5, each payment of Rent, as well as any payment of
interest on overdue installments of Rent under the Lease, and any other monies
paid over by Lessee or the Borrower (as Borrower, Trustee and/or Lessor) to
Administrative Agent for such purpose, shall be distributed as promptly as
possible (it being understood that any payments of Rent received by or on behalf
of Administrative Agent under the Lease on a timely basis and in accordance with
the provisions of the Lease shall be distributed on the date received in the
funds so received) in the following order of priority:

                  first, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the payment
         of interest, as well as any interest on (to the extent permitted by
         Applicable Laws) overdue interest, then due and payable on the Notes
         shall be distributed and paid to the Lenders; and

                  second, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the payment
         of principal on the Notes then due and payable shall be distributed and
         paid to the Lenders.

         SECTION III.3.    Distribution of Mandatory Prepayments.
                           -------------------------------------

     (1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.3, the
amount of any prepayment received pursuant to Section 2.4 shall in each case be
distributed and paid in the following order of priority:

                  first, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued
         interest, as well as any interest on (to the extent permitted by
         Applicable Laws) overdue interest then due and payable on the Notes,
         plus Additional Costs, if any, shall be distributed and paid to the
         Lenders; and

                  second, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the payment
         of principal on the Notes then due and payable shall be distributed and
         paid to the Lenders.

     (2) Any Casualty Recovery or Non-Casualty Recovery that is not required to
be paid to Lessee pursuant to the Lease, solely because a Lease Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, shall be held by Borrower, as Trustee, as
security for the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative
Documents and invested in Cash Equivalents and at such time as there shall not
be continuing any such Lease Event of Default, such portion shall be paid to
Lessee, unless Administrative Agent (as assignee of the Borrower) shall have
theretofore declared the Lease to be terminated pursuant to Section 10.2
thereof, in which event such portion shall be distributed forthwith upon such
declaration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof.

     SECTION 1 1 Distribution of Payments After Loan Event of Default.

     (1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4(b), all payments received
and amounts (other than Excluded Amounts) realized by Administrative Agent after
a Loan Event of

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as well as all payments or
amounts then held or thereafter received by Administrative Agent as part of the
Trust Estate while such Loan Event of Default shall be continuing, shall be
distributed forthwith by Administrative Agent in the following order of
priority:

                  first, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be
         required to reimburse Administrative Agent or the Trustee for any tax,
         expense or other loss incurred by Administrative Agent or the Trustee
         (to the extent not previously reimbursed and to the extent incurred in
         connection with its duties as Administrative Agent or the Trustee,
         respectively) and any, unpaid ongoing fees of Administrative Agent or
         the Trustee shall be distributed to Administrative Agent or the
         Trustee, as the case may be;

                  second, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be
         required to reimburse the then existing or prior Lenders (so long as
         the Loan Events of Default that have occurred and are continuing arise
         solely from a Lease Event of Default) for payments made by them to
         Administrative Agent or Borrower, as Lessor, Trustee or Borrower
         pursuant to Section 7.7 (to the extent not previously reimbursed), and
         to pay such then existing or prior Lenders (so long as the Loan Event
         of Default that has occurred and is continuing arises solely from a
         Lease Event of Default) the amounts payable to them pursuant to any
         expense reimbursement or indemnification provisions of the
         Participation Agreement, the Lease or this Loan Agreement, shall be
         distributed to each such Person, without priority of one over the
         other, in accordance with the amount of such payment or payments
         payable to each such Person;

                  third, so much of such amount as shall be required to pay in
         full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with
         any Additional Costs and the accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes
         to the date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Lenders
         holding Notes, and in case the amount so to be distributed shall be
         insufficient to pay in full the Notes as aforesaid, then, pro rata
         among such Lenders, without priority of one such Lender over the other,
         in the proportion that the unpaid principal amount of the Notes held by
         each Lender bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
         Notes; and

                  fourth, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts
         remaining thereafter shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed
         by, the Borrower.

     (2) During the occurrence and continuance of any Loan Event of Default, all
amounts (other than Excluded Amounts) received or realized by Administrative
Agent and otherwise distributable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall be
distributed as provided in Section 3.3(a).

     SECTION III.4. Other Payments.

order of priority set forth in Section 3.1.

                                      -9-

     (4) All payments received and amounts realized by Administrative Agent
under the Lease or otherwise with respect to the Equipment, to the extent
received or realized at any time after payment in full of the principal of and
interest on all Loans, as well as any other amounts remaining as part of the
Trust Estate after payment in full of the principal of and interest on (and any
Additional Costs in respect of) all Loans issued hereunder, shall be distributed
forthwith by Administrative Agent in the order of priority set forth in Section
3.3(a) omitting clause "third" of such Section 3.3(a).

     (5) Except after a Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any payment received by Administrative Agent for which provision as to the
application thereof is made in an Operative Document but not elsewhere in this
Article III shall be distributed forthwith by Administrative Agent to the Person
for the purpose for which such payment was made in accordance with the terms of
such Operative Document.

     SECTION 1 1 Distribution of Excluded Amounts. All amounts constituting
Excluded Amounts received by Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the
Person or Persons entitled thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

         The agreement of each Lender to make the Loan requested to be made by
it on any Advance Date is subject to the satisfaction on such Advance Date of

                                    ARTICLE V

                      AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER

     SECTION 1 1 Performance by the Borrower. Subject to Section 2.8, so long as
any Note remains outstanding and unpaid or any other amount is owing to any

                        LOAN EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

     SECTION 1 1 Loan Events of Default. Each of the following events shall
constitute a

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

"Loan Event of Default" (whether any such event shall be voluntary
or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to
or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order,
rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority) and each such Loan Event of
Default shall continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have been
remedied:

     (1) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of or interest on any
Note, or any other amount due hereunder or under any Note, when due and such
failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days;

     (2) the failure by the Borrower in any material respect to timely perform
any other covenant or condition herein or in any other Operative Document to
which the Borrower is a party and such failure shall continue for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower and Lessee from
Administrative Agent; or

     (3) [Reserved];

     (4) the filing by the Borrower of any petition for dissolution or
liquidation of the Borrower; or the commencement by the Borrower of a voluntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law for the
relief of debtors, foreign or domestic, now or hereafter in effect; or the
Borrower shall have consented to the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any such law; or the failure of the Borrower generally to
pay, or the admission by the Borrower in writing that it is unable to pay, its
debts as such debts become due (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law); or the
failure by the Borrower promptly to satisfy or discharge any execution,
garnishment or attachment of such consequence as will impair its ability to
carry out its obligations under the Operative Documents; or the appointment of
or taking possession by a receiver, keeper, custodian or trustee (or other
similar official) for the Borrower or any substantial part of its property; or a
general assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of creditors; or the entry by
the Borrower into an agreement of composition with its creditors; or the
Borrower shall have taken any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
the filing against the Borrower of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy which
results in an order for relief being entered or, notwithstanding that an order
for relief has not been entered, the petition is not dismissed within 60 days of
the date of the filing of the petition; or the filing under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors of any petition against the Borrower
which either (i) results in a finding or adjudication of insolvency of the
Borrower or (ii) is not dismissed within 60 days of the date of the filing of
such petition; or

     (5) a Lease Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

     SECTION 1 1 Remedies.

     (1) Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default hereunder, (i) if such
event is a Loan Event of Default specified in clause (d) of Section 6.1 or
clauses (f) or (g) of Section 10.1 of the Lease, the Commitments (if not
theretofore terminated) shall automatically terminate and the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

other amounts owing under this Loan Agreement and the Notes shall immediately
become due and payable, and (ii) if such event is any other Loan Event of
Default, upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders, Administrative
Agent shall, by notice of default to the Borrower, terminate the Commitments (if
not theretofore terminated), and declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued
interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Loan Agreement and the
Notes to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately
become due and payable; provided that the sole remedies of Administrative Agent
upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default specified in clause (b), (c) (but
only to the extent the representation was made in the Borrower's individual
capacity) or (d) of Section 6.1 that does not also constitute a Lease Event of
Default shall be to cause the Lenders to remove and replace the Borrower as the
Trustee and as the Lessor and to bring suit against Borrower for damages. Except
as expressly provided above in this Article VI, presentment, demand, protest and
all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

     (2) Upon the occurrence of any Loan Event of Default and at any time
thereafter so long as any Loan Event of Default shall be continuing,
Administrative Agent may, and upon the written instructions of the Required
Lenders shall, exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and
all of the remedies available to it hereunder and (subject to the terms thereof)
under the other Operative Documents and the Lease and shall have and may
exercise any and all rights and remedies available under the Uniform Commercial
Code or any provision of applicable law.

     (3) Upon the occurrence of any Loan Event of Default and at any time
thereafter so long as any Loan Event of Default shall be continuing,
Administrative Agent may proceed to protect and enforce this Loan Agreement, the
Notes, the other Operative Documents and the Lease by suit or suits or
proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid
of any power herein granted, or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the
appointment of a receiver or receivers or keeper or keepers for the Equipment,
or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured thereby or for the
enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
Applicable Laws.

     (4) Borrower shall be liable for any and all accrued and unpaid amounts due
hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies,
including all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender by reason of the occurrence of
any Loan Event of Default or the exercise of remedies with respect thereto.

(5) Except as expressly provided above, no remedy under this Section 6.2 is
intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other remedy provided under this Section 6.2 or under the other Operative
Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. The exercise by
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any one or more of such remedies shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other remedy or remedies. No
express or implied waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Loan
Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any
future or subsequent Loan Event of Default.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

The failure or delay of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
rights granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set
forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the
continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies
and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any
other right provided herein.

     (6) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of
Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or

                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     SECTION 1 1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
(subject to Section 7.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Loan
Agreement and the Notes and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Loan
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Loan Agreement or in any other Operative Document,
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth herein or in any other Operative Document, nor shall
Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with
any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Loan Agreement or any other
Operative Document or shall otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 1 1 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Loan Agreement or any other Operative Document by or
through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice
of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

     SECTION 1 1 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of Administrative
Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or any
other Operative Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct or as otherwise provided in the
Security Agreement), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders
for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer of any thereof,
contained in this Loan Agreement or in any other Operative Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

to or provided for in, or received by, Administrative Agent under, or in
connection with, this Loan Agreement or any other Operative Document, or for the
value of or title to any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Loan Agreement or any other
Operative Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any
Operative Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Loan Agreement or any other
Operative Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the
Borrower or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     SECTION VII.5. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

     (1) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative
Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Loan Agreement or any other Operative Document unless
it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Loan Agreement or any other Operative
Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and any action
taken upon consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

     (2) Each Lender that has executed this Loan Agreement shall be deemed to
have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document
or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent,
approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to
or approved by, or acceptable or satisfactory to, such Lender.

     SECTION 1 1 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Loan Default or Loan Event of
Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest
and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent directly for the account of
the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from
a Lender, Borrower (as Trustee and/or Lessor) or Lessee referring to this Loan
Agreement, describing such Loan Default or Loan Event of Default and stating
that such notice is a "notice of default". Administrative Agent will notify the
Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Loan Default or Loan Event of Default as may be
requested by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until
Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action regarding such Loan

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Default or Loan Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best
interest of the Lenders.

     SECTION 1 1 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the
Administrative Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to
it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of Lessee, its Subsidiaries, HCS I or HCS II, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative
Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of any investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Lessee, its Subsidiaries, HCS I and HCS II, the value of and
title to any Collateral, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Operative Documents, and made
its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and to extend credit to the
Borrower hereunder and otherwise to Lessee under the other Operative Documents.
Each Lender also represents that it will independently and without reliance upon
any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Loan Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Lessee. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent herein
or in any other Operative Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of Lessee which may come into the
possession of any of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons.

     SECTION 1 1 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify,
upon demand, any Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not
reimbursed by or on behalf of Lessee and without limiting the obligation of
Lessee to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment
to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse
Administrative Agent, upon demand, for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney costs) incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Loan Agreement, any other Operative
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to
the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or
on behalf of the Borrower or Lessee. The undertaking in this Section shall
survive the payment of all obligations hereunder and the resignation or
replacement of Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 1 1 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. First Security
Trust

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Company of Nevada and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit
for the account of, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Lessee
and its Affiliates as though First Security Trust Company of Nevada were not
Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.
The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, First Security Trust
Company of Nevada or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Lessee or
its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of Lessee or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to
them.

     SECTION 1 1 Successor Agent. Administrative Agent may, and at the request
of the Required Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30)
days notice to the Lenders, Borrower and Lessee. If Administrative Agent resigns
under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, the Borrower and Lessee, a
successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment
as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall thereupon be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article
VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement. If no successor
agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is
thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

     SECTION VII.16. Withholding Tax.

     (1) If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within
the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction
of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender
agrees with and in favor of Administrative Agent, to deliver to Administrative
Agent:

          (1) two (2) properly completed and executed copies of United States
     Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, in either case with
     taxpayer identifying numbers, certifying in either case that such Lender is
     entitled to receive payments of interest and a return of principal on its
     Loans, as applicable, under the Operative Documents without deduction or
     withholding of any United States federal income taxes; and

          (2) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or
     other laws

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

     of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of,
     United States withholding tax.

Each Lender which so delivers form W-8BEN or W-8ECI shall further deliver to
each of Lessee, Borrower and Administrative Agent two (2) additional copies of
such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires
(currently, three successive calendar years for form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete
or within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any event requiring a change
in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or
extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Lessee,
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender
is entitled to receive payments under the Operative Documents without deduction
or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event
(including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises Lessee,
Borrower and Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments
without any withholding of United States federal income tax. Such Lender agrees
to promptly notify Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

     (2) If any such Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers all or part of the obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to notify Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which
it is no longer the beneficial owner of obligations of the Borrower to such
Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Administrative Agent will treat
such Lender's form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable, as no longer valid.

     (3) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the withholding tax
applicable to it, Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to
such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking
into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by
subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not
providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax.

     (4) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or
any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or deduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify
Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by
Administrative Agent, including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the
amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney costs and the allocated
reasonable cost of internal legal counsel services and all reasonable
disbursements of internal counsel). The obligation of the Lenders under this
subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations and

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

     SECTION VII.7. Concerning the Trust Estate.

     (5) Administrative Agent accepts the agency applicable to it and agrees to
cause the Bank (or its successor), as Borrower, Lessor and Trustee, to receive
all payments and proceeds pursuant to the Operative Documents and disburse such
payments or proceeds in accordance with the Operative Documents.

     (6) Upon discharge of the indebtedness secured by the Security Documents or
security interest or Lien provided therein, Administrative Agent shall execute
and deliver, and shall cause Borrower, as Trustee, Lessor and Borrower, to
execute and deliver, at Lessee's cost and expense, such satisfactions and
terminations of said Liens as may be required. Upon satisfaction of the Lien or
security interest provided for in any such instrument, such instrument shall be
deemed withdrawn from the Collateral.

     (7) In the event that the Required Lenders shall notify Administrative
Agent that an event of default under a Security Document has occurred,
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect thereto as the Required
Lenders may require by written instructions, but Administrative Agent shall not
be required to take any action not expressly set forth in such written
instructions.

     (8) Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to manage,
operate, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Equipment or
any other part of the Collateral or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any
action under, or in connection with, the Security Documents, except as expressly
provided by the terms of this Loan Agreement or other Operative Documents or as
expressly provided in written instructions from the Required Lenders received
pursuant to the terms of Section 7.11(c) hereof.

     (9) Except in accordance with written instruction furnished pursuant to
Section 7.11(c) hereof, and without limiting the generality of Section 7.11(d)
hereof, Administrative Agent shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording,
filing or depositing of any security instrument or amendment thereof, (ii) to
see to any insurance on the Equipment or to effect or maintain any such
insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or
other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with
respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate or
Collateral, (iv) to confirm or verify any notices or reports of Lessee other
than to furnish (to the extent not otherwise furnished) the Lenders with a copy
of each notice or report furnished to Administrative Agent by Lessee pursuant to
a security instrument or (v) to inspect the Equipment at any time or ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance of Lessee's covenants under any
security instrument.

     (10) In accepting the agency hereby created, Administrative Agent acts
solely as Administrative Agent hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and
all Persons, other than the Lenders, having any claim against Administrative
Agent by reason of the transactions

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

contemplated hereby shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or
satisfaction thereof.

     (11) The agency created hereby shall be terminated by notice given by
Administrative Agent to the Lenders at any time upon the final disposition or
release of all Collateral and the final distribution by Administrative Agent of
all monies or other property or proceeds received pursuant to the Operative
Documents in accordance with their terms.

     SECTION 1 1 Documentation Agent. The "Documentation Agent" shall not have
any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Loan
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting
the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified as "Documentation Agent" shall
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so
identified in deciding to enter into this Loan Agreement or in taking or not
taking action hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 1 1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Loan Agreement, any Note
nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except
in accordance with the provisions of the Participation Agreement.

     SECTION 1 1 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties
hereto shall be delivered in accordance with, and shall be deemed to have been
given as provided in, Section 9.6 of the Participation Agreement; provided, that
any notice, request, demand or other communication to or upon Administrative
Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3 shall not be effective until
received.

     SECTION VIII.8. Successors and Assigns: Transfers and Participations.

     (1) This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrower, as Trustee, Lessor and Borrower, the Lenders, Administrative
Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and
assigns.

     (2) Any transfer by a Lender of its Note or any sale by a Lender of any
participating interest in the Loans evidenced by its Note shall comply with
Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of the Participation Agreement. Any Lender
transferring its Note shall pay, or cause the transferee to pay, the costs and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in
connection with such transfer.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

     SECTION 1 1 Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed by one or
more of the parties to this Loan Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Loan
Agreement signed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and
Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 1 1 GOVERNING LAW. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES HAVE BEEN
DELIVERED IN, AND THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE,
EXCEPT AS TO MATTERS RELATING TO PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR
NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED BY THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, WHICH
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, AND
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE EXERCISE OF CERTAIN RIGHTS OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR UNDER
THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS MAY REQUIRE COMPLIANCE WITH GAMING LAWS.

     SECTION 1 1 Compliance with Law. It is the intent of the Borrower, each
Lender and all other Participants to conform to and contract in strict
compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements
between the Lenders or any other holder of any Note and the Borrower (of any
other party liable with respect to any Obligations under the Operative
Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall
override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter
arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency
(including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or
acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Loan Agreement or
otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable
law. If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would
otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such
construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such
document shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under
applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is
characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this
provision be in excess of the maximum lawful nonusurious amount, an amount equal
to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty,
be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the indebtedness
evidenced hereby or by the Notes in the inverse order of their maturity and not
to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrower or the other payor
thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds
such unpaid principal. The right to accelerate maturity of the Loans and the
indebtedness owing hereunder or pursuant to any other Operative Document does
not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued
on the date of such acceleration, and the holders of the Notes do not intend to
charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All
interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Notes shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such
indebtedness so that the amount of

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious
amount permitted by applicable law. As used in this paragraph, the term
"applicable law" shall mean such laws as they now exist or may be changed or
amended or come into effect in the future.

     SECTION 1 1 Survival and Termination of Agreement. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in any certificate,
document or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement and the Notes and
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Note or any amount
payable to any Lender under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or the
Notes is unpaid, at which time this Loan Agreement shall terminate, it being
expressly understood that the obligations of the Borrower, as the case may be,
to Administrative Agent and each Lender under Article II and the obligations of
the Lenders to Administrative Agent under Section 7.7 shall survive the payment
in full of the Notes.

     SECTION 1 1 Entire Agreement. This Loan Agreement and the other Operative
Document sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
its subject matter, and supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral,
with respect thereto.

     SECTION 1 1 Severability. Any provision of this Loan Agreement or of the
Notes which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity, enforceability
or legality of any such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement.

     (6) No provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document,
including, without limitation, Articles VII and VIII of the Participation
Agreement, shall be construed to relieve the Bank in its individual capacity or
the Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, of liability for its gross negligence or
willful misconduct or its negligence in the handling of funds, it being
understood that, without limiting the foregoing:

          (1) the Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, shall not be liable for any

     made by the Bank in its individual capacity, or in its capacity as Trustee
     and/or Lessor, in the Participation Agreement or any certificate or
     document delivered pursuant thereto, and (D) its negligence in the handling
     of funds.

     (7) the Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, shall not be required to take any
action hereunder or under the other Operative Documents, nor shall any other
provision of this Trust Agreement or any other Operative Document be deemed to
impose a duty on the Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, to take any action, if the
Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, determines, or is advised by external counsel,
that such action is likely to result in personal liability or is contrary to
Applicable Law or the Operative Documents.

     (8) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, shall be subject to

case may be, to have been duly adopted and to be in full force and effect on the
date of such certification, and delivered to the Bank, as Trustee or Lessor;

trustee and lessor any property or moneys then held by such predecessor Trustee
and Lessor upon the trusts herein expressed.

     SECTION 1.13. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee and Lessor. Any Person

title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and such rights, powers, duties,
trusts or obligations as the Required Lenders and the Bank, as Trustee and
Lessor, may consider necessary or desirable. If the Required Lenders have not
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by the last of them
of a request to do so, the Bank, as Trustee and Lessor, alone shall have power
to make such appointment. The Bank, as Trustee and/or Lessor, shall not be
liable for any act or omission of any co-trustee/lessor or separate
trustee/lessor appointed under this Section 3.13.

     SECTION 1.15. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Bank shall not be required to
take any action in any jurisdiction, other than in the jurisdiction of its
organization, and other than in any other jurisdiction in which Bank is
authorized to do business, if solely as a result of such action, (i) the taking

other action in respect of, any Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction,

other Persons entitled thereto and for such amount and on such terms as are
specified in written instructions from Administrative Agent, acting upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, delivered to the Bank, as Trustee and
Lessor, before the date of termination; provided that (a) if at the time of any
termination the Lease remains in force and effect, then the Trust Estate shall
be conveyed as a unit subject to the Lease and not in parcels, and (b) if such
written instructions are not delivered to the Bank, as Trustee and Lessor, on or

Trustee, or both, to the Lenders with respect to the Loans howsoever created,

     SECTION 1 1 Continuing Security Interest: Transfer of Notes. This Security
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall

          (1) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all

in respect thereof granted under any

                                      -3-

Operative Document (including this Security Agreement) or otherwise, subject,
however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer. Upon the
payment in full and performance of all Secured Obligations and the termination
of the Commitments, and any other commitments of the Lenders to Grantor, as

notwithstanding

          (1) Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements
     included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein, and shall
     perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and
     agreements to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been
     executed;

          (2) the exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its rights
     hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its duties or obligations
     under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral; and

          (3) Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability
     under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral by reason
     of this Security Agreement, nor shall Administrative Agent be obligated to
     perform any of the obligations or duties of Grantor thereunder or to take
     any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     SECTION 1 1 Representations and Warranties. Grantor, as Lessor and Trustee,
and as Borrower, represents and warrants unto Administrative Agent and the
Lenders as set forth in this Article.

          SECTION 1 1 1 Ownership, No Liens, etc. Grantor owns the Collateral
free and clear of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance except for
the security interest created by this Security Agreement, Permitted Liens (other
than Lessor's Liens) and Lessee's interest in the Equipment under the Lease.

          SECTION 1 1 1 Validity, etc. The Assigned Agreements have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Grantor, have not been amended or
otherwise modified, and are binding upon and enforceable against Grantor thereto
in accordance with their terms, except as

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

          SECTION 1 1 1 Authorization, Approval. etc. No authorization, approval
or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority
is required either

                    (1) for the grant by Grantor of the security interest
          granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this
          Security Agreement by Grantor; or

                    (2) for the perfection of or the exercise by Administrative
          Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for filings
          specified in Schedule IV to the Participation Agreement.

          SECTION 1 1 1 Compliance with Laws. Grantor is in compliance with all
Applicable Laws of every Governmental Authority, except for non-compliance which
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

     SECTION 1 1 Certain Covenants. Grantor covenants and agrees that, so long
as any portion of the Secured Obligations shall remain unpaid or the Lenders
shall have any outstanding commitments to Grantor under the Operative Documents,
Administrative Agent may exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any and
all rights and powers set forth in this Section.

          SECTION 1 1 1 As to Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing:

                    (1) Administrative Agent may, at the expense of Grantor,
          endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due with respect to
          any of the Collateral. Administrative Agent, as assignee hereunder of
          the Lease, may, at any time, enforce collection of any of the
          Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release, or exchange
          all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any
          period (whether or not longer than the original period) any
          indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby.

                    (2) Administrative Agent is authorized to endorse, in the
          name of Grantor, as Lessor and/or Trustee, any item, howsoever
          received by Administrative Agent, representing any payment on or other
          proceeds of any of the Collateral.

<PAGE>

                    (3) If a Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing
          with respect to which Grantor, as Lessor and/or Trustee, could, at its
          option, declare a Lease Event of Default, then Administrative Agent,
          as assignee hereunder of the Lease, may declare, in its sole and
          absolute discretion, a Lease Event of Default and may, in its sole and
          absolute discretion, exercise any or all of the rights and powers and
          pursue any or all of the remedies of Grantor as Lessor and/or Trustee
          under and pursuant to Article X of the Lease.

          SECTION 1 1 1 Transfers and Other Liens. Except as may be permitted by
the terms of the Operative Documents, Grantor, as Trustee or Lessor, or as
Borrower, shall not:

                    (1) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
          otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral;

                    (2) cancel or terminate the Assigned Agreements or consent
          to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;

                    (3) amend or otherwise modify the Assigned Agreements or
          give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder, except pursuant to
          Section 9.3 of the Participation Agreement;

                    (4) waive any default under or breach of the Assigned
          Agreements;

                    (5) create or suffer to exist any Lien (including, without
          limitation, any Lessor's Liens) or other charge or encumbrance upon or
          with respect to any of the Collateral to secure indebtedness of any
          Person or entity, except for the security interest created by this
          Security Agreement, Permitted Liens or Lessee's interest in the
          Equipment under the Lease; or

                    (6) take any other action in connection with the Assigned
          Agreements which would impair the value of the interest or rights of
          Grantor thereunder or which would impair the interest or rights of
          Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 1 1 1 Further Assurances. etc. Grantor agrees that, from time
to time and at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or
desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Grantor, as Lessor and Trustee, will:

                    (1) execute and file or record such instruments or notices
          as may be necessary or desirable, or as Administrative Agent may
          reasonably request, in order to

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

          perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted
          or purported to be granted to Administrative Agent hereby; and

                    (2) furnish to Administrative Agent, from time to time at
          Administrative Agent's request, statements and schedules further
          identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in
          connection with the Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably
          request, all in reasonable detail.

                                    ARTICLE V

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     SECTION 1 1 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor, as
Lessor and Trustee, and as Borrower, hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative
Agent as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead
of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, as Lessor and Trustee and/or as Borrower,
or otherwise, from time to time in Administrative Agent's discretion (acting
upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or, if required by the terms of
the Operative Documents, all of the Lenders), during the continuance of a Loan
Event of Default (subject to Section 6.2 of the Loan Agreement) to take any
action and to execute any instrument which Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement,
including, without limitation:

                    (1) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise,
          receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become
          due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

                    (2) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
          instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause
          (a) above;

                    (3) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
          proceedings which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable
          for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce
          the rights of Administrative Agent with respect to any of the
          Collateral; and

                    (4) to perform the affirmative obligations of Grantor
          hereunder (including all obligations of Grantor pursuant to Section
          4.1.3).

Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

          SECTION 1 1 Administrative Agent May Perform. If Grantor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform,
or cause performance of, such

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

agreement, and the expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Grantor pursuant to Section 6.2.

     SECTION 1 1 Administrative Agent Has No Duty. In addition to, and not
in limitation of, Section 2.4, the powers conferred on Administrative Agent
hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent's interest (on behalf of
the Lenders) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the reasonable care of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

     SECTION 1 1 Reasonable Care. Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its
possession; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the
Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as Grantor reasonably
requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Loan Event of Default, but failure of Administrative Agent to
comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure
to exercise reasonable care.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    REMEDIES

     SECTION 1 1 Certain Remedies. If any Loan Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:

                    (1) Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the
          Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for
          herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a
          secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies
          to the affected Collateral) and under the laws of the State wherein
          the Collateral, or any part thereof, is located, and also may exercise
          any and all rights and remedies of Grantor, as Lessor and/or Trustee,
          under or in connection with the Collateral, including, without
          limitation, any and all rights of Grantor, as Lessor and/or Trustee,
          to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
          performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements. Grantor

SECTION 1 1 Additional Louisiana Provisions.

          (1) The term "Louisiana Collateral" as used herein shall refer to all
portions of the Collateral and the proceeds thereof that are from time to time
located in the State of Louisiana or that are otherwise subject to Louisiana law
at all times during which such portions or proceeds thereof are located in
Louisiana or are otherwise mandatorily subject to the application of Louisiana
law under the Applicable Laws of other states. Article VII shall apply to all
Louisiana Collateral and all proceeds thereof at all times during which such
Louisiana Collateral or the proceeds thereof are located in Louisiana or are
otherwise subject to the application of Louisiana law in any respect.

          (2) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Security Agreement,
Grantor, as Lessor and Trustee, and as Borrower, has completed and signed one or
more appropriate Louisiana UCC-1 financing statements with regard to the
Collateral and the proceeds thereof. Grantor, as Lessor and Trustee, and as
Borrower, authorizes Administrative Agent, at Grantor's expense, to file
multiple originals, or photocopies, carbon copies or facsimile copies of such
Louisiana UCC-1 financing statements with the appropriate filing officer or
officers in the State of Louisiana, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 9 of
the Louisiana Commercial Laws.

          (3) Grantor shall give Administrative Agent thirty (30) days written
notice prior to any change in Grantor's employer identification number by
Grantor and shall give Administrative Agent written notice of any change in
Grantor's employer identification number that is not made by Grantor within
thirty (30) days after such change. In the event of any change whatsoever in
Grantor's employer identification number, Grantor will execute and file any new
financing statements or any other documents that are necessary or desirable as
determined by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to preserve and
continue Administrative Agent's security interests under this Security Agreement
within thirty (30) days after such change. (1)

          (4) During the continuance of any Loan Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and remedies with respect
to the Louisiana Collateral, which rights and remedies are in addition to and
are not in lieu or limitation of any other rights and remedies that may be
provided in this Security Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents,
under Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws (La. R.S. ss.ss. 10:9-101 et
seq.), under the Uniform Commercial Code of any state other than Louisiana, or
at law or equity generally:

          (1) Administrative Agent may cause the Louisiana Collateral, or any
part or parts thereof, to be immediately seized wherever found, and sold,
whether in term of court

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

or in vacation, under ordinary or executory process, in accordance with
applicable Louisiana law, to the highest bidder for cash, with or without
appraisement, without the necessity of making additional demand, or of notifying
Grantor, or placing Grantor in default.

          (2) For purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana executory process
procedures, Grantor confesses judgment and acknowledges to be indebted unto and
in favor of Administrative Agent up to the full amount of the Secured
Obligations, in principal, interest, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees
and other fees and charges. To the extent permitted under applicable Louisiana
law, Grantor additionally waives: (a) the benefit of appraisal as provided in
Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and
all other laws with regard to appraisal upon judicial sale; (b) the demand and
three (3) days' delay as provided under Articles 2639 and 2721 of the Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure; (c) the notice of seizure as provided under Articles
2293 and 2721 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (d) the three (3) days'
delay provided under Articles 2331 and 2722 of the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure; and (e) all other benefits provided under Articles 2331, 2722 and
2723 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and all other similar provisions
of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure not specifically listed hereinabove.

          (3) Should any of the Louisiana Collateral be seized as an incident to
an action for the recognition or enforcement of the Secured Obligations or this
Security Agreement, or any other Operative Document, by executory process,
sequestration, attachment, writ of fieri facias or otherwise, Grantor agrees
that the court issuing any such order shall, if requested by Administrative
Agent, appoint Administrative Agent or any Person named by Administrative Agent
at the time such seizure is requested, or at any time thereafter, as keeper of
the Louisiana Collateral as provided under La. R.S. ss.ss. 9:5136 et seq.
Grantor agrees to pay the reasonable fees of such keeper, which compensation to
the keeper shall also be a part of the Secured Obligations under this Security
Agreement.

          (4) Should it become necessary for Administrative Agent to foreclose
against the Louisiana Collateral, all declarations of fact that are made under
an authentic act before a Notary Public in the presence of two witnesses, by a
person declaring such facts to lie within his or her knowledge, shall constitute
authentic evidence for purposes of executory process and also for purposes of
La. R.S.ss. 9:3509.1, La. R.S.ss. 9:3504(D)(6) and La. R.S.ss. 10:9-508, as
applicable.

          (5) Anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement
notwithstanding, the perfection of the security interests in the Louisiana
Collateral granted in this Security Agreement, and Administrative Agent's
remedies in the courts sitting in and for the State of Louisiana with respect to
the Louisiana Collateral, shall be governed by Louisiana law, with California
law governing the other provisions of this Security Agreement, its application
to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, and all rights and obligations of
the parties thereunder in all other respects.

     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to

          (1) The Note is being purchased by the undersigned with its general
assets, and not directly or indirectly with the assets of, or in connection with

Section 3(3) of ERISA, or with the assets of any such Plan, Multiemployer Plan
or Benefit Arrangement (or its related trust), as defined in Section 4975(e)(1)

only in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the

registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  No representation
or warranty contained in this clause (b) shall include or cover any action or
                              ----------
inaction of Lessee or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not purportedly on
behalf of any Lender, Administrative Agent, Lessor/Trustee/Borrower or any of
their respective Affiliates.  Subject to the foregoing, it is understood by the
undersigned and each addressee of this letter that the disposition of each
Lender's property shall be at all times within its control.

          (3) Neither the undersigned nor any Person authorized to act on its
behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered to sell any interests in the Trust
Estate, the Note or any security similar thereto, to, or otherwise approved or
negotiated with respect thereto with, anyone other than the Lenders, and neither
it nor any Person authorized to act on its behalf will so offer or sell in
violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any securities or blue sky laws
of any applicable jurisdiction.

be bound by all obligations (whether or not accrued) under, and shall have
become a party to, all Operative Documents to which its transferor was a party
to the same extent as its transferor is, or is intended to be, bound.

form(s) described in Section 8.6 of the Participation Agreement./1/]

          The undersigned understands that the Note has not been and will not be

registration or otherwise assist in the disposition of the Note.

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

     THIS PURCHASE ORDER ASSIGNMENT (this "Assignment"), dated as of
                                           ----------
_____________, 2000, is entered into between HOLLYWOOD CASINO SHREVEPORT, a
Louisiana general partnership ("Lessee"), and FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL
                                ------
ASSOCIATION, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee under that
certain Trust Agreement dated as of March 31, 2000, and as lessor under the
Lease and the other Operative Documents (herein "Trustee" and "Lessor", as the
                                                 -------       ------
context may require).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix 1 to the Participation
Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2000 (as amended, restated, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "Participation Agreement"), by and among
                                     -----------------------
Lessee, Trustee/Lessor, the Lenders, Documentation Agent and Arranger identified
therein, and First Security Trust Company of Nevada, as Administrative Agent.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
                             ---------------------

     1.   Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, Lessee may agree to purchase
from certain vendors (each a "Seller"), certain Equipment (and/or related
                              ------
construction and installation services) for installation at the Resort.
Lessee's purchase of any such Equipment shall be made pursuant to certain
purchase orders (the "Purchase Orders") issued from time to time pursuant to the
                      ---------------
Purchase Contracts identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
                                 ----------

     2.   Lessee desires to lease the Equipment from the Lessor rather than
purchase the Equipment from Sellers.  Lessor, in its capacity as Lessor/Trustee,
on behalf of the Lenders, is willing to acquire certain of Lessee's rights and
interests under the Purchase Orders, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.

     3.   Upon purchase of the Equipment by the Lessor, Lessee shall lease the
Equipment from the Lessor under the Lease.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained and in reliance on the above recitals, the Lessor and Lessee hereby
agree as follows:

                              SECTION 1. ASSIGNMENT
                              ---------------------

     Lessee does hereby assign and set over to Lessor, in its capacity as
Lessor/Trustee, on behalf of the Lenders,  all of

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

Lessee's title, rights and interests in and to the Purchase Orders to the extent
they relate to the Equipment identified in any applicable Advance Request and
accompanying Certificate of Acceptance and all of Lessee's rights to purchase
such identified Equipment in any applicable Advance Request and accompanying
Certificate of Acceptance, except and to the extent reserved below, including
without limitation (a) the right to purchase the Equipment pursuant to the
Purchase Orders and the right to take title to the Equipment and to be named the
purchaser in the bill or bills of sale for the Equipment to be delivered
pursuant to the Purchase Orders, (b) all claims for damages in respect of the
Equipment (including related construction and installation services) arising as
a result of any default by the Sellers under the Purchase Orders, including,
without limitation, all warranty and indemnity provisions contained in the
Purchase Orders, and all claims arising thereunder in respect of the Equipment,
and (c) any and all rights of Lessee to compel performance of the terms of the
Purchase Orders, reserving to Lessee, however, so long and only so long as the
Equipment shall be subject to the Lease and Lessee shall be entitled to
possession of the Equipment thereunder: (i) the rights to demand, accept and
retain all rights in and to all property (other than the Equipment), data and
services which the Sellers are obligated to provide, or do provide, pursuant to
the Purchase Orders, (ii) all rights, if any, in respect to spare parts as
provided in the Purchase Orders, and (iii) the right, if any, to obtain
instructions and data pursuant to the Purchase Orders.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long and only so long as Lessor/Trustee
shall not have notified the Sellers in writing that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Lessor/Trustee authorizes Lessee, to the exclusion
of Lessor/Trustee, to exercise, in the name of Lessee, all rights and powers of
the purchaser under the Purchase Orders and to retain any recovery or benefit
resulting from the enforcement of any warranty or indemnity under the Purchase
Orders in respect of the Equipment (including related construction and
installation services); provided, however, that Lessee may not exercise any of
                        --------  -------
the rights to purchase such Equipment unless, prior to the exercise thereof by
Lessor/Trustee as to the Equipment, Lessor/Trustee shall have delivered to the
Sellers written notice that Lessor/Trustee has released such rights to purchase
such Equipment.  All the provisions of this Section 1 shall, to the extent
                                            ---------
inconsistent with the Lease, be governed by the Lease.

             SECTION 2. ASSUMPTION OF PURCHASE OBLIGATION BY LESSOR,
            --------------------------------------------------------
              CONTINUING LIABILITY OF LESSEE FOR EXCLUDED EQUIPMENT
              -----------------------------------------------------

     Except as provided to the contrary in this Section 2, and subject to
     ------                                     ---------
Lessee's satisfaction of each of the conditions and covenants described herein,
Lessee shall not be responsible for

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

any payment due to any applicable Seller as required in Section 4.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, none of Lessor/Trustee, the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have any obligation hereunder to any
Seller (i) in respect of Equipment not delivered and accepted on or before the
last day of the Commitment Period, (ii) in respect of any Equipment with respect
to which payment therefor would cause the aggregate purchase price under all
Purchase Orders to exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount, or (iii) in respect
of any Equipment for which sufficient funds have not been advanced to
Lessor/Trustee by the Lenders to pay the full purchase price thereof.  Equipment
for which such obligations are so terminated shall be immediately excluded from
the terms and provisions of this Assignment and all other Operative Documents,
and in the event of such exclusion, Lessee agrees with Lessor/Trustee and
covenants, for the benefit of the Sellers, that Lessee will purchase from the
applicable Seller and will accept delivery of and pay for the Equipment so
excluded from this Assignment upon the same terms and conditions as those
contained in the applicable Purchase Orders.  Lessee will indemnify
Lessor/Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any losses or
damages incurred by such parties as a result of any claims by the Sellers with
respect to the Equipment excluded from this Assignment.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Assignment to
the contrary, the delivery to and acceptance by or on behalf of Lessor/Trustee
of the Equipment excluded from this Assignment pursuant to the second paragraph
of this Section 2 shall be ineffective, ab initio, to create in or transfer to
        ---------                       -- ------
Lessor/Trustee any legal interest in such item of Equipment or to impose on
Lessor/Trustee any liability, obligation or responsibility with respect thereto.
Any right or interest in the Equipment created in or transferred to, or
purported to be created in or transferred to, Lessor/Trustee shall be held by
Lessor/Trustee solely as provided in the Operative Documents.

                          SECTION 3. POWER OF ATTORNEY
                          ----------------------------

     Lessee does hereby appoint Lessor/Trustee the true and lawful attorney of
Lessee, irrevocably, with full power (in the name of Lessee or otherwise) to
ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all
monies and claims for money due and to become due under, or arising out of, the
Purchase Orders to the extent that the same have been assigned by this
Assignment, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection
therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which to Lessor/Trustee may seem necessary or advisable with respect thereto;
provided; however that the exercise of the power of attorney conferred by
--------  -------

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

this Section 3 shall be limited so that such power shall be exercisable and
exercised only at such times when, pursuant to the terms of the Lease and this
Assignment, Lessor/Trustee is permitted to exercise such rights and remedies
under the Lease and the other Operative Documents.

                SECTION 4.  PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT, LIMITATION OF
                ------------------------------------------------
                          LESSOR'S/TRUSTEE'S LIABILITY
                          ----------------------------

     On each Advance Date, Lessor/Trustee shall pay to the applicable Sellers
the unreimbursed portion of the purchase price of the Equipment to be purchased
under the Purchase Orders or, if applicable, reimburse Lessee for amounts
theretofore paid by or on behalf of Lessee under Purchase Orders for such
Equipment.  All such amounts, if any, to be paid to the applicable Sellers shall
be payable in same day funds for credit to such accounts as designated in
writing by the applicable Sellers, as applicable, at least one business day
prior to the date such payment is to be made.  Lessor/Trustee shall have no
obligation to make the aforesaid payments in its individual or general corporate
capacity, but such obligation shall be payable solely from funds advanced to
Lessor/Trustee by the Lenders pursuant to the Lease and the Loan Agreement.

                         SECTION 5.  FURTHER ASSURANCES
                         ------------------------------

     At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Lessor/Trustee, Lessee shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all
such further instruments and documents and take such further action as
Lessor/Trustee may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of
this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted.

                SECTION 6.  WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITEES OF LESSEE
                ------------------------------------------------

     Lessee does hereby represent and warrant that it has not assigned or
pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge so long as this
Assignment shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights hereby
assigned to anyone other than Lessor/Trustee.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

which are hereby acknowledged, the Lessor/Trustee, the Manager and the Company
agree as follows:

          1.   Subordination to Payment of Senior Debt.  Notwithstanding any
               ---------------------------------------
other provision of the Management Agreement, all fees payable to the Manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement (other than expense reimbursement payable
to the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement) (the
"Management Fees") are and shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment,
to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior indefeasible
payment in full, satisfaction and discharge or defeasance in accordance with the
Operative Documents of all Senior Debt (as defined below).

          "Senior Debt" means all Rent at any time due and owing by the Company
under the Operative Documents, including without limitation (a) with respect to
each Interest Period during the Interim Period, an amount equal to the aggregate
of interest due for such Interest Period on each Loan at the applicable Interest
Rate in effect for such Loan; (b) during the Base Period, each installment of
rent consisting of the interest determined pursuant to clause (a) above plus the
                                                                        ----
Amortization Amount, if any, payable on the Notes pursuant to the Amortization
Schedule by Lessor to the Lenders on the applicable Payment Date for any such
Interest Period; (c) any and all amounts, liabilities and obligations (i) which
the Company or Lessor/Trustee assumes or agrees or is otherwise obligated or
designated to pay under the Loan Agreement or any other Operative Document to
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, including Additional
Costs and damages for breach of any representations, warranties or agreements or
(ii) which the Company agrees or is otherwise obligated or designated to pay
(other than amounts owing under clauses (a) and (b) above) under the Lease or
any other Operative Document to Lessor/Trustee; including without limitation, in
each case, the principal of, and interest on (including any interest accruing
after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with
respect to the Company and any interest which would have accrued but for the
commencement of any such proceeding whether or not allowed as a claim in that
proceeding) each Loan, and all premiums, fees, charges, expenses and indemnities
arising under or in connection with the Operative Documents; and (d) any
modifications, amendments or extensions of any indebtedness or obligation
described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.  Except as and to the extent
provided hereinafter, the Manager will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive
from the Company, by set-off or in any other manner, direct or indirect payment
(whether in cash or property), of the whole or any part of the Management Fees,
or any transfer of any property in payment of or as security therefor, so long
as there exists an Event of Default under the Participation Agreement.

          2.   Distributions in Liquidation and Bankruptcy.  In the event of any
               -------------------------------------------
distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets
of the Company or the proceeds thereof (including any assets now or hereafter
securing any Management Fees) for the benefit of creditors of the Company or to
satisfy any indebtedness of the Company, by reason of the liquidation,
dissolution or other winding-up, partial or complete, of the Company, or any
receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or assignment for the benefit
of creditors or marshalling of assets, or any proceeding by or against the
Company for any relief under any bankruptcy or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of
indebtedness, arrangements, reorganizations, compositions or extensions (each of
the foregoing, a "Liquidation Event"), then and in any such event:

               (1) Lessor/Trustee, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled
     to receive payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Debt before the Manager
     shall be entitled to receive any payment or other distributions on, or with
     respect to, the Management Fees;

               (2) Subject to the provisions of the Indenture-Related
     Subordination Agreement (as hereinafter defined), any payment or
     distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other
     property, which but for these provisions would be payable or deliverable
     upon or with respect to the Management Fees shall instead be paid or
     delivered directly to the Lessor/Trustee for the benefit of the Lenders for
     application to the Senior Debt of the Company, whether then due or not due,
     until all Senior Debt shall have first been fully and indefeasibly paid in
     cash, satisfied and discharged or otherwise defeased under the Operative
     Documents;

               (3) Subject to similar rights heretofore granted by Manager to
     the Indenture Trustee (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Indenture-
     Related Subordination Agreement, the Manager hereby irrevocably authorizes
     and empowers Lessor/Trustee as its attorney-in-fact, to demand, sue for,
     collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance
     therefor, and to file and vote claims (in bankruptcy proceedings or
     otherwise) and take such other actions, in the Lessor/Trustee's own name or
     otherwise, as the Lessor/Trustee may deem necessary or advisable for the
     enforcement of these provisions.  The Manager shall duly and promptly take
     such action as may be reasonably requested by the Lessor/Trustee to assist
     in the collection of the Management Fees for the account of the Indenture
     Trustee or the Lessor/Trustee (for the benefit of the Lenders), whomever
     shall then have priority, and to file appropriate proofs of claim with
     respect to the Management Fees and to vote the same and to execute and
     deliver to the Lessor/Trustee, on demand, such powers of attorney, proofs
     of claim, assignments of claim or other instruments as may be reasonably
     requested by the Lessor/Trustee to enable the Lessor/Trustee (for the
     benefit of the Lenders) to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect
     to the Management Fees and to collect and receive any and all payments or
     distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with
     respect to the Management Fees, in each case, subject to similar rights
     heretofore granted by Manager to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
     Indenture-Related Subordination Agreement.  In addition, the Manager shall
     take no action (whether oral, written or otherwise) in contravention of any
     action of the Lessor/Trustee duly taken and permitted hereunder. Such
     appointment as attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Section 2(c) is
                                                      ------------
     irrevocable and coupled with an interest until payment in full and complete
     performance of all Senior Debt.  The Lessor/Trustee may appoint a
     substitute attorney-in-fact.  The Manager ratifies all actions reasonably
     taken by the attorney-in-fact but, nevertheless, if the Lessor/Trustee
     requests, the Manager will specifically ratify any action taken by the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     attorney-in-fact by executing and delivering to the attorney-in-fact or to
     any entity designated by the attorney-in-fact all documents necessary to
     effect such ratification;

               (4) Subject to the provisions of that certain Manager
     Subordination Agreement made as of August 10, 1999, by and among State
     Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (the
     "Indenture Trustee"), for the benefit of itself and the holders of the
     "Notes" issued under the Indenture, the Manager and the Company (as
     amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
     "Indenture-Related Subordination Agreement"), the Manager will forthwith
     deliver any direct or indirect payment made to the Manager upon or with
     respect to the Management Fees prior to the payment in full, satisfaction
     and discharge or defeasance of the Senior Debt in accordance with the
     Operative Documents and following any Liquidation Event or Default or Event
     of Default to the Lessor/Trustee in precisely the form received (except for
     the endorsement or assignment of the Manager where necessary) for
     application to the Senior Debt, whether then due or not due.  Until so
     delivered, the payment or distribution shall be held in trust by the
     Manager as property of the Lessor/Trustee, on behalf of the Lenders.  In
     the event of the failure of the Manager to make any such endorsement or
     assignment, the Lessor/Trustee, or any of its officers or employees, are
     hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same; and

               (5) Each of the parties hereby agrees that it shall be bound by
     the terms and provisions hereof, notwithstanding the confirmation of a plan
     of reorganization of the Company under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy
     Code.

          3.   Permitted Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2
               ------------------                                ------------
and 4 of this Agreement, the Company may pay to the Manager, and the Manager may
    -
accept payment of, amounts due to Manager under the Management Agreement, a true
and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Any amounts not
                                                ---------
permitted to be paid pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement
                                                   -----------
shall be deferred and shall accrue and may be paid only at such time as such
amounts would otherwise be permitted to be paid pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Participation
Agreement, the Company and the Manager shall not change, alter, amend, waive or
otherwise modify the Management Agreement without the Lessor/Trustee's prior
written consent, other than an amendment for the purpose of identifying the
existence and operation of this Agreement and the Indenture-Related
Subordination Agreement.

          1.   Default on Senior Debt; Other Subordinated Obligation Payment
               -------------------------------------------------------------
Restrictions.
------------

               (1) In the event that any Default or Event of Default shall occur
     and be continuing, or if any payment of Management Fees would create a
     Default or Event of Default, unless and until all Senior Debt shall have
     been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash, satisfied and discharged or
     otherwise defeased under the Operative Documents, the right of the Manager
     to receive any payments or other distributions with respect to

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     Management Fees shall be deferred during the continuance of such Default or
     Event of Default.

               (2) Unless and until all Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly
     paid in full, in cash, satisfied and discharged or otherwise defeased under
     the Operative Documents, the right of the Manager to receive any payments
     or other distributions with respect to the Management Fees shall be
     deferred if and to the extent that, as of the date which such Management
     Fees are to be paid, the payment of such Management Fees would cause the
     Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) for its
     most recently ended four (4) full fiscal quarters for which internal
     financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which
     such Management Fee is proposed to be paid to be less than 1.5 to 1
     (calculated on a pro forma basis after adding back Management Fees that
     were deducted in arriving at Consolidated Cash Flow during such period and
     deducting, to arrive at Consolidated Cash Flow, Management Fees to be paid
     pursuant to this Section 4(b)); provided, however, that with respect to
                      ------------   --------  -------
     periods following the date the Resort is first Operating and prior to the
     time when internal financial statements are available for four (4) full
     fiscal quarters following such date, such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall
     be calculated with respect to the actual number of full fiscal quarters
     (but in no event less than one (1) full fiscal quarter) for which internal
     financial statements are available following such date.

               If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4,
                                                                    -----------
     the Manager shall receive any payment or distribution of any kind with
     respect to the Management Fees (whether from any collateral securing the
     Management Fees or otherwise) following any Event of Default until cured,
     subject to the provisions of the Indenture-Related Subordination Agreement,
     such payment or distribution shall be received in trust for, and shall be
     delivered to, the Lessor/Trustee promptly, in precisely the form received
     (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Manager where necessary)
     for application to the Senior Debt, whether then due or not due.  Until so
     delivered, the payment or distribution shall be held in trust by the
     Manager as property of the Lessor/Trustee on behalf of the Lenders, subject
     to the provisions of the Indenture-Related Subordination Agreement.

               (3) Manager agrees that any deferral pursuant hereto of payments
     under the Management Agreement shall not constitute a default under the
     Management Agreement.

               (4) No amounts payable pursuant to the Management Agreement shall
     be prepaid.

          4.   No Acceleration or Exercise of Remedies.  So long as any Senior
               ---------------------------------------
Debt remains unpaid, the Manager will not (a) cause any portion of the
Management Fees to become due prior to the due date for such Management Fees as
set forth in the Management Agreement; (b) accept any payment, prepayment or
defeasance of any portion of the Management Fees prior

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

to the due date for such Management Fees as set forth in the Management
Agreement or in violation of this Agreement; (c) modify or alter in any way the
provisions of the Management Agreement if the effect of such modification or
alteration is to accelerate the payment of the Management Fees due thereon; or
(d) exercise any remedies with respect to the Management Fees, or any collateral
at any time securing payment or performance thereof, unless and until, in each
such case, all of the Senior Debt shall have indefeasibly paid in full, in cash,
satisfied and discharged or otherwise defeased under the Operative Documents, or
the Lessor/Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall have
otherwise consented in writing.

          5.   Bankruptcy.  Until the Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly
               ----------
paid in full, in cash, satisfied and discharged or otherwise defeased under the
Operative Documents, the Manager will not, without the prior consent of the
Lessor/Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, commence, or
join with any other person in commencing, any proceeding against any Person with
respect to the Management Fees under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment of debt, dissolution, receivership, liquidation or insolvency law
or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.

          6.   Continuing Subordination.  The subordination effected by these
               ------------------------
provisions is a continuing subordination and may not be modified or terminated
by the Manager or any other holder of any Management Fees until all of the
Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash, satisfied and
discharged or otherwise defeased under the Operative Documents.  At any time and
from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Manager or any
other holder of the Management Fees, and without impairing or affecting the
obligations of any of them hereunder:

               (1) The time for the Company's performance of, or compliance
     with, any of its agreements contained in the Participation Agreement or the
     other Operative Documents, or any other agreement, instrument or document
     relating to the Senior Debt, may be modified or extended or such
     performance or compliance may be waived;

               (2) The Lessor/Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required
     Lenders, may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights under the
     Participation Agreement or the other Operative Documents, or any other
     agreement, instrument or document relating to the Senior Debt;

               (3) The Participation Agreement or any of the other Operative
     Documents, or any other agreement, instrument or document relating to the
     Senior Debt, may be revised, amended or otherwise modified for the purpose
     of adding or changing any provisions thereof (including, but not limited
     to, an increase in the interest charges), or changing in any manner the
     rights of the Lessor/Trustee or the Company;

               (4) Payment of the Senior Debt or any portion thereof may be
     extended or refunded or any instruments evidencing such Senior Debt may be
     renewed in whole or in part;

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

               (5) The maturity of the Senior Debt may be accelerated, and any
     collateral security therefor or any other rights of the Lessor/Trustee may
     be exchanged, sold, surrendered, released or otherwise dealt with, in
     accordance with the terms of any present or future agreement with the
     Company and any other agreement of subordination (and the debt covered
     thereby) may be surrendered, released or discharged, or the terms thereof
     modified or otherwise dealt with in any manner;

               (6) Any Person liable in any manner for payment of the Senior
     Debt may be released by the Lenders; and

               (7) Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, these
     subordination provisions shall remain in full force and effect with respect
     to the Senior Debt, as the same shall have been extended, renewed, modified
     or refunded.

          7.   Waivers.  The Manager hereby waives, and agrees not to assert (a)
               -------
any right, now or hereafter existing, to require the Lessor/Trustee to proceed
against or exhaust any collateral at any time securing the payment of the Senior
Debt, or to marshal any assets in favor of the Manager or any other holder of
any Management Fees; or (b) any notice of the incurrence of Senior Debt, it
being understood advances may be made under the Operative Documents, or any
other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter relating to the Senior
Debt, without notice to or authorization of the Manager in reliance upon these
subordination provisions.

          It is not the intent of this Agreement to cause the Manager to become
a surety. However, in the event that this Agreement may cause the Manager to be
deemed a surety, the following provisions shall apply; provided, however, that
                                                       --------  -------
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee by the obligor of any
obligations for the payment of the Senior Debt. The Manager hereby waives and
relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or
guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or
remedies, including, without limitation, (a) any right to require the
Lessor/Trustee or any of the Lenders (each a "Benefitted Party") to proceed
against the Company or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by a Benefitted Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in
the power of a Benefitted Party before proceeding against the Manager or any
other Person with respect to the Management Fees, (b) the defense of the statute
of limitations or prescriptive period in any action with respect to the
Management Fees hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of
the obligations owing on account of the Senior Debt, (c) any defense that may
arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any
Person or the failure of a Benefitted Party to file or enforce a claim against
the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any
Person, (d) appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets,
redemption, exemption, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind,
including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of
any new or additional Senior Debt or of any action or non-action on the part of
a Benefitted Party, the Company, any endorser, guarantor or creditor of the
Company or on the part of any Person under this or any other instrument or
document in connection with any obligation or evidence of

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

indebtedness held by a Benefitted Party as collateral or in connection with the
Senior Debt, (e) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefitted
Party, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non-judicial
rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the
subrogation rights of the Manager, the right of the Manager to proceed against
the Company or any other Person for reimbursement, or both, (f) any defense
based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a
surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of the principal, (g) any duty on the part of a Benefitted Party to
disclose to the Manager any facts a Benefitted Party may now or hereafter know
about the Company or any other Person, regardless of whether a Benefitted Party
has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond
that which the Manager intends to assume, or has reason to believe that such
facts are unknown to the Manager, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate
such facts to the Manager, because the Manager acknowledges that the Manager is
fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of
the Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any
Senior Debt, (h) any defense arising because of the election of a Benefitted
Party, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (i) any
defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section
364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (j) any claim or other right which a
Benefitted Party may now or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other
Person that arises from the existence of performance obligations under the
Operative Documents, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement. No failure or delay on the Lessor/Trustee's part in exercising
any power, right or privilege under this Agreement shall impair or waive any
such power, right or privilege. The Manager acknowledges and agrees that any
nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in the Operative Documents, or any other
provision of any of the Operative Documents, limiting the Benefitted Parties'
recourse to specific collateral, or limiting the Benefitted Parties' right to
enforce a deficiency judgment against the Company, shall have absolutely no
application to the Manager's or the Company's liability under the Operative
Documents.

          8.   Lien Subordination.  Any Lien, security interest, encumbrance,
               ------------------
charge or claim of the Manager on any assets or property of the Company, or any
proceeds or revenues therefrom, which the Manager may have at any time as
security for the Management Fees shall be, and hereby is, subordinated to all
Liens, security interests, or encumbrances now or hereafter granted to the
Lessor/Trustee by the Company or by law, notwithstanding the date or order of
attachment or perfection of any such Lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim
or charge or the provision of any applicable law.  Until all of the Senior Debt
shall have been paid in full, in cash, or the Senior Debt is satisfied and
discharged or defeased under the Operative Documents, the Manager agrees that
the Manager will not assert or seek to enforce against the Company the
Management Fees or any interest of the Manager in any collateral for any portion
of the Management Fees and that the Lessor/Trustee may dispose of any or all of
the collateral for the Senior Debt free of any and all Liens, including, but not
limited to, Liens created in favor of the Manager, through judicial or non-
judicial proceedings, in accordance with applicable law, including taking title,
after five (5) days written notice to the Manager.  The Manager hereby
acknowledges that such notice, if given five (5) days prior to such disposition
of any or all of the

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

collateral for the Senior Debt, is sufficient and commercially reasonable. The
Manager hereby agrees that any such sale or other disposition of so much of the
collateral for the Senior Debt as is necessary to satisfy in full, in cash, all
of the Senior Debt shall be free and clear of any security interest granted to
the Manager; provided that the entire proceeds (after deducting reasonable
expenses of sale) are applied in reduction of the Senior Debt. Upon the
Lessor/Trustee's request, the Manager shall execute and deliver any releases or
other documents and agreements that Lessor/Trustee in its reasonable discretion
deems necessary to dispose of the collateral for the Senior Debt free of the
Manager's interest in same. The Manager shall retain all of its rights as a
junior secured creditor with respect to the surplus, if any, arising from any
such disposition of the collateral for the Senior Debt.

           9.  Default by Company Under Management Agreement.  In the event of a
               ---------------------------------------------
default by the Company under the Management Agreement, Manager shall promptly
give written notice thereof to the Lessor/Trustee, and, subject to the
provisions of the Indenture-Related Subordination Agreement, the Lessor/Trustee
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default within the
cure periods provided to the Company under the Management Agreement. Manager
shall not take any action with respect to such default under the Management
Agreement, including, without limitation, any action to terminate the Management
Agreement, unless and until the Lessor/Trustee has received notice of such
default and failed to cure such default within the applicable cure periods
provided therefor.

          10.  Subrogation.  The Manager hereby subordinates all rights of
               -----------
subrogation to the rights of the Lessor/Trustee and the Lenders to receive
payments or distributions, and any rights of subrogation to any collateral for
the Lessor/Trustee and the Lenders, until all Senior Debt shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full, in cash, satisfied and discharged in accordance with
the Operative Documents.  Upon such payment in full, the Manager shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Lessor/Trustee and the Lenders.

          11.  Subordination Not Impaired by the Company.  No right of the
               -----------------------------------------
Lessor/Trustee or any Lender to enforce the subordination of the Management Fees
shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by the
Company's failure to comply with these provisions.

          12.  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is not intended to
               ----------------------------
give or confer any rights to any Person other than the Lessor/Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  No other Person, including the Company,
is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

          13.  Legend on Note.  If any portion of the Management Fees is
               --------------
evidenced by a promissory note, stock certificate or other instrument, the
Manager agrees to promptly add a legend thereto stating that the rights of any
holder thereof are subject to this Agreement.
