         7.1 Indemnification of Seller. Seller hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless Purchaser Group in respect of any and all Claims (including Litigation
Expenses for investigating or defending any Claims or threatened Claims)
incurred by or asserted against Purchaser Group arising out of any or all
Seller's liabilities set out in Section 3.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement. The

holds harmless Seller Group in respect of any and all Claims (including

The indemnification contained in this Section shall be in addition to, and not
in place of, any other remedies, whether at law or in equity, that Seller Group

         7.3 Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any Claim shall arise for
indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party of the Claim and, when known, the facts constituting the
basis for such Claim. In the event of any Claim for indemnification hereunder
resulting from any Claim by any Other Party, the notice to the Indemnifying
Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the
liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or
compromise any Claim by an Other Party for which the Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless
suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed to take control of such suit after
notification thereof as provided in this Agreement.

         7.4 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any Claim giving
rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from any Claim by any Other Party,
the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to
the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such Claim if the Indemnifying
Party acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing the Indemnifying Party's
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of
such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not
control) the defense of any such action with its counsel and at its own expense.
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim (a) the
Indemnified Party may defend against such Claim in such manner as it may deem
appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Claim, on such terms
as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate after giving two (2) Business
Days' notice of the

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>   14

terms of the proposed settlement to the Indemnifying Party, and (b) the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the
defense of such Claim with its counsel and at its own expense. If the
Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the
Indemnified Party defended such Claim or the amount or nature of any such
settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party, after taking into
consideration the potential amount of an adverse judgment, did not defend or
settle such Claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

         7.5 Manner of Indemnification. All amounts indemnified hereunder shall
be paid in cash or by delivery of a check in the amount of the indemnified
liability.

ninety (90) days after the Effective Date to conduct inspections of the Property
("Inspection Period"), including without limitation environmental audits,
wetlands determinations, appraisals, zoning, economic and engineering
feasibility studies, soil tests, and such other inspections as Purchaser deems
necessary to satisfy itself with respect to Seller's title and the condition of
the Property. Seller understands and agrees that Purchaser and its respective
employees, agents, and representatives may find it appropriate to contact
Governmental Authorities in connection with the result of Purchaser's
Inspections to the Property. Purchaser's sole remedy for any defects in the
Property discovered during the Inspection Period will be its termination rights
established in Section 8.5.

         8.2 Survey. Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall cause to
have prepared the Survey. Seller shall deliver the survey to Purchaser within 45
days of the Effective Date.

order the Commitment to be issued by the Title Company through the Title Agent,

servitudes, easements, rights-of-way, and other matters affecting the Property.
The Commitment will be in a form satisfactory to Purchaser and will commit the
Title Company to issue at the Closing an ALTA form of Owner's Title Insurance
Policy to Purchaser, such policy to be in an amount equal to the Cash
Consideration and shall be paid for by Seller.

         8.4 Inspection Procedure. Purchaser shall make Purchaser's Inspections
in good faith, with due diligence, and at Purchaser's sole risk. All inspection
fees, wetlands determinations, environmental studies, appraisal fees,
engineering fees and other expenses of any kind incurred by Purchaser relating
to Purchaser's Inspections will be solely Purchaser's expense except as set
forth in Sections 8.2 and 8.3. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in all
reasonable respects in making Purchaser's Inspections. Purchaser shall notify
Seller not less than one (1) Business Day in advance of making any of
Purchaser's Inspections. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its
employees harmless, to the extent permitted by Governmental Authority and
Governmental

                                     - 14 -

Purchaser's Inspections and to pay the cost of repair for any damage to the
Property in connection with any of Purchaser's Inspection by or on behalf of
Purchaser.

         8.5 Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event Purchaser determines as a result of Purchaser's
Inspections that title to and/or any condition of the Property is deficient in
any respect in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, or if for any other
reason Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to
terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller prior to
the expiration of the Inspection Period, in which event the Deposit will be
immediately refunded to Purchaser and the Parties shall have no further rights
or obligations hereunder except as provided in Article 3 and Section 8.4.

                                     Default

         13.1 Breach by Seller. If Seller Defaults in the due and timely
performance of any of the terms to be performed by Seller hereunder, makes any
misrepresentation or is unable or unwilling to consummate the sale of the
Property for any reason except Purchaser's Default or the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to any of the termination provisions hereof (including
Section 6.4), Purchaser may, at its option, and as its sole and exclusive
remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and

an equal sum from Seller as liquidated damages or (ii) seek specific performance
of this Agreement.

         13.2 Breach by Purchaser. If Purchaser Defaults in the due and timely

shall not have the right to demand specific performance.

         13.3 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or
remedy accruing to one Party upon any breach by another Party under this
Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any
such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by a Party of any
condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant,
or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other
condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant,
or condition herein contained. Except as specifically excepted in this
Agreement, all rights, powers, options, or remedies afforded to any Party either
hereunder or by law shall be cumulative and not alternative and the exercise of
one right, power, option or remedy shall not bar other rights, powers, options,
or remedies allowed herein or by law.

provided for herein, not only as to due execution, or identity and authority of
any person executing such instrument, its validity and effectiveness, but also
as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein which the

                                October 30, 1998

Harrah's Operating Company, Inc.
1023 Cherry Road
Memphis, TN 38117
Attention:  Judy Wormser

            Re:  Provision of Services

Ladies and gentlemen:

         Jazz Casino Company, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company
("JCC") and wholly-owned subsidiary of JCC Holding Company, a Delaware
corporation ("JCC Holding"), has requested Harrah's Operating Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Service Provider") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HET"), to provide or
otherwise perform certain services described on Schedule I attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (the "Services") in connection with the
operation of the land-based casino at 4 Canal Place, New Orleans, Louisiana
70130. JCC has determined that based on a number of factors, including, among
others, the price at which the Services will be provided by Service Provider and
the quality of the Services that can be provided by Service Provider, it is in
JCC's best interest for Service Provider to provide the Services to JCC. In
light of the foregoing, JCC hereby requests that Service Provider provide the
Services upon the terms and conditions set forth in this administrative services
agreement (this "Administrative Services Agreement").

         In consideration of the agreements, representations, and covenants set
forth in this Administrative Services Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereto agree as of October 30, 1998, as follows:

         1. Provision of Services. Service Provider shall provide the Services
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This
Administrative Services Agreement is entered into pursuant to that certain
Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement by and between Harrah's New
Orleans Management Company (the "Manager") and JCC dated October 29, 1998 (the
"Management Agreement") to document only the elective services to be provided by
Manager and Manager's affiliates pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Management
Agreement and the cost of certain Proprietary Systems being provided by Manager
and Manager's affiliates pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Management Agreement.
The Services shall not include

<PAGE>   2

any services of the Manager provided pursuant to the Management Agreement, any
of the Harrah's Services as provided for in Article 11 of the Management
Agreement, any services provided by pursuant to any written employee lease
arrangement between HET or its subsidiaries and JCC Holding or its subsidiaries,
including without limitation the Donald Stroessner, Bhavna Misty, Susie Bell and
Libby Gehrman lease or other employment arrangements between HET and JCC and the
Thomas Morgan lease arrangement between HET and JCC Development, or any other
services otherwise agreed by the parties.

         2. Service Fee

            (a) In consideration for the provision of the Services, JCC agrees
to pay Service Provider fees for the Services and to reimburse Service Provider
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in providing the Services as set
forth on Schedule I hereto. Service Provider shall provide JCC reasonably
detailed invoices with respect to the Services at the end of each calendar month
in which Services are provided. At the end of each calendar year, or as
otherwise specified on Schedule I, Service Provider shall calculate actual
amounts due in respect of any Services billed monthly on an estimated basis.
Within sixty (60) days of the end of each calendar year, Service Provider shall
provide JCC a true-up calculation as to the actual costs of such estimated
Services for such year and provide JCC a creditor refund as to any over-payments
or a billing as to any under-payments for such Services. Subject to the
procedure for dispute resolution set forth below, JCC agrees to pay such monthly
and annual true-up invoices within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof.

            (b) If JCC disagrees with any invoice submitted by Service Provider
as required by Section 2(a) hereof, within fifteen (15) days after the date it
has received such invoice, JCC shall notify Service Provider in writing of such
disagreement, which notice shall state the basis for such disagreement. The
parties shall then cooperate to resolve the dispute, with Service Provider
providing JCC with such supporting documentation relating to the calculation of
the cost of the Services as JCC may reasonably request.

         3. Limitation on Authority. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Administrative Services Agreement, the responsibilities and authority of Service
Provider hereunder are limited to the provision of the Services and matters
related to the Services. This Administrative Services Agreement shall not, in
the absence of a specific grant by JCC in writing, authorize Service Provider to
take any other action other than in connection with the Services.

                                        2
<PAGE>   3

         4. Term; Termination

            (a) This Administrative Services Agreement shall commence as of
October 30, 1998, and the Services to be provided shall begin and end as of the
dates described on Schedule I hereto. Unless earlier terminated in writing by
JCC and Service Provider, this Administrative Services Agreement shall be
effective until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of all Services as set
forth on Schedule I hereto or (ii) thirty (30) days after written notice of
termination from either party; provided, however, that JCC may terminate, at any
time, less than all of the Services to be provided by Service Provider in
accordance with Sections 4(b) and (c) hereof.

            (b) As to those Services identified in Schedule I hereto as
"Severable Services," any one or more of such Severable Services shall terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the termination date for each Severable Service as
described on Schedule I hereto, (ii) thirty (30) days after written notice of
termination to Service Provider by JCC describing the Services to be terminated
or (iii) thirty (30) days after written notice of termination to JCC by Service
Provider describing the Services to be terminated.

            (c) As to those Services identified in Schedule I hereto as "Bundled
Services", all, but not less than all, of such Bundled Services shall terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the termination for the Bundled Service as described on
Schedule I hereto, (ii) thirty (30) days after written notice of termination to
Service Provider by JCC, or (iii) thirty (30) days after written notice of
termination to JCC by Service Provider. Nothing in this Section 4(c) shall
prohibit JCC or Service Provider from, in accordance with this Section 4(c),
terminating any or all of the Severable Services without terminating the Bundled
Services or terminating all of the Bundled Services without terminating the
Severable Services.

         5. Indemnification

            (a) At all times during the term and after the termination of this
Administrative Services Agreement, JCC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Service Provider and any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, HET,
employees, agents, representatives, officers and directors (the "Indemnified
Service Provider Parties") against any claim, action, suit, demand, damage,
liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out
of or in connection with the performance by Service Provider of the Services
(except to the extent arising out of Service Provider's proven fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct or with respect to any action taken by any
Indemnified Service Provider Party in breach of this Administrative Services
Agreement).

            (b) At all times during the term and after the termination of this
Administrative Services Agreement, Service Provider shall indemnify, defend and
hold

                                        3
<PAGE>   4

harmless JCC and any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, JCC
Holding (but excluding, to the extent deemed an affiliate of JCC, HET and any
affiliate of HET), employees, agents, representatives, officers and directors
against any claim, action, suit, demand, damage, liability, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or in connection with the
breach of this Administrative Services Agreement by Service Provider or the
proven fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Service Provider in
connection with the performance of its obligations under this Administrative
Services Agreement.

         6. Independent Contractor Status. Service Provider shall be deemed to
be an independent contractor to JCC. Nothing contained in this Administrative
Services Agreement shall create or be deemed to create the relationship of
employer and employee, and no party to this Administrative Services Agreement
shall, by reason hereof, be deemed to be a partner or a joint venturer of any
other party hereto in the conduct of their respective businesses and/or the
conduct of the activities contemplated by this Administrative Services
Agreement. Except as specifically and explicitly provided in this Administrative
Services Agreement, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions hereof,
no party to this Administrative Services Agreement is now, shall become, or
shall be deemed to be an agent or representative of any other party hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

         7. Further Assurances. The parties hereto agree to cooperate, to the
extent reasonably necessary, by executing and delivering such other documents
and instruments and taking such further action to carry out the intent of this
Administrative Services Agreement.

         8. Entire Agreement. This Administrative Services Agreement represents
the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties
in regard to the subject matter hereof are and have been merged herein and are
superseded hereby.

limitation, Schedule I hereto, may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise
