1. PART I, SUBPART F OF THE OPEN ACCESS PLAN ("PLAN") IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ
IN ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

"F. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PUBLIC SUPPORT EFFORTS

         Pursuant to Part II, Introduction, paragraph 5; Part II, Subpart T; and
Part IV, Subparts A.1.d. and D of the Open Access Program, JCC will donate an
aggregate amount of $2,500,000 as contributions to public support efforts over
the course of five (5) years. These contributions shall be payable in five (5)
annual installments of $500,000 per year, the first of which shall be made as of
the opening date of the Casino, with additional $500,000 installments to be paid
on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary dates thereafter
(funded each year in quarterly installments to a separate account established
for that purpose as stated below). These annual contributions are in addition to
the initial capitalization of Newcorp and the $250,000 annual payments to
Newcorp described above. Such donations are designated to enhance existing
business development programs and other public support endeavors, and will be
made based on the following criteria:

           o  Potential recipients of such funds will be identified by: (i)
              applications from potential recipients; (ii) recommendations from
              public and private agencies and officials; (iii) JCC on its own
              initiative; or (iv) otherwise as the circumstances may allow;

           o  JCC shall decide upon the recipients and the amounts of such
              funds, keeping the RDC, the Mayor and the City Council advised on
              a semi-annual basis in the semi-annual reports described in Part
              II, Subpart C; Part IV, Subpart F; and Part V, Subpart B of the
              Open Access Program.

<PAGE>

              This will be accomplished by the President of JCC, as assisted by
              his or her staff and as authorized by the member(s) of JCC. A form
              of application will be prepared and distributed within sixty (60)
              after the Effective Date;

           o  All grant applications must articulate specific goals to be
              achieved. Preference will be given to applications for grants of
              $20,000 or less. However, subsequent grants to the same entity are
              possible for larger projects, provided the recipient has achieved
              the goals articulated in the first grant. Applicants that
              anticipate applying for a series of small grants may say so in
              their first application, and may describe the overall project they
              hope to develop. However, as noted, subsequent grants will only be
              made to an entity or individual if JCC's monitoring determines
              that the first grant was used for the intended purposes.

         The intended focus of such contributions to public support efforts will
be on programs aimed at fostering emerging or new Open Access Participant firms
and the training and skills improvements that will allow Open Access
Participants to participate in and benefit from new and existing business
opportunities. This delineation of the intended use of the funds is intended to
be illustrative, but not necessarily comprehensive, as it is not possible to
list all types of activities that fit within the terms "existing business
development programs and other public support endeavors." Undoubtedly the
creative individuals and organizations that engage in such activities both now
and in future years will advance a broad array of opportunities for
consideration. All contributions are

<PAGE>

subject to those statutes, regulations and guidelines promulgated by the State
and Federal governments and their instrumentalities, which govern spending by
JCC.

         At the beginning of each semiannual period (commencing with the opening
date of the Casino), JCC shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the public support
efforts funds for the year (i.e., $250,000 of the yearly amount of $500,000)
into a separate account. On a monthly, or such other basis as specified in
approved grants, payments shall be made from that account to approved grant
recipients, pursuant to the process articulated above. Any of these funds not
disbursed during the quarter shall remain in the separate account, to be
disbursed, along with the funds to be added by JCC during the next quarter, to
approved grant recipients in accordance with the disbursal schedule specified in
the approved grants. It is the intent of this public support efforts funding
process that, by the end of the year, the entire $500,000 shall have been paid
into the separate fund, with as much of it disbursed to approved grant
recipients as possible.

         JCC shall include in each semi-annual report to the RDC, the Mayor and
the City Council, in accordance with Part II, Subpart C; Part IV, Subpart F;
Part V, Subpart B of the Open Access Program, a report showing the amount JCC
paid into the separate account during the respective semi-annual periods, the
amount disbursed to approved grant recipients under this public support efforts
program during the semi-annual period, and the amount remaining in the separate
account at the end of the semi-annual period. Said report shall also list the
amount for each of these items on a year-to-date basis.

         If any moneys remain undisbursed in the separate account at the end of
the year, they, along with any interest in the account, shall be carried
forward, to be disbursed to approved grant recipients semi-annually."

         2. PART III, SUBPART A.2. THE PLAN IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS
ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

            "2. OPEN ACCESS EMPLOYMENT OBJECTIVES

         JCC will make all necessary and reasonable efforts, through the means
set forth below, to achieve levels of employment among those engaged in
operation of the Casino at the level of their actual availability in the
relevant labor market. The NERA Study (Table 8.3) has found such actual
availability to be as follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
                  MINORITY INDIVIDUALS
                  --------------------
<S>                                                           <C>
                  Managers & Professionals                    16.3%

                  Supevisors                                  26.3%

                  Technicians                                 32.5%

                  Support Occupations                         56.0%

                  Cleaners, Operators, Laborers               84.0%
</Table>

<Table>
<Caption>
                  NON-MINORITY WOMEN
                  ------------------
<S>                                                           <C>
                  Managers & Professionals                    34.5%

                  Supevisors                                  36.4%

                  Technicians                                 10.0%

                  Support Occupations                         27.8%

                  Cleaners, Operators, Laborers                4.7%
</Table>

         Following the method used by NERA in the NERA Study, JCC will calculate
the utilization of Minority Individuals and Non-Minority Women by their numbers
and by the percentage they constitute of the total number of individuals
employed at the Casino during any given semi-annual period. See Part IV,
Subparts A and F of the Open Access

<PAGE>

Program. Because NERA's availability analysis was based on the assumption that
minority women will be counted as Minority Individuals and not as women, JCC
will count minority women in that way.

         If within each particular Open Access category for a particular
reporting period, JCC has used its Good Faith Efforts to fulfill its
Non-Minority Women goals and JCC has a sufficient surplus number of Minority
Individual Open Access participants to offset a deficiency in the Non-Minority
Women goals, JCC shall be deemed to be in compliance with the Plan for that
reporting period.

         As suggested by the NERA Study finding that potential availability of
Minority Individuals and MBEs greatly exceeds actual availability, JCC
anticipates that such actual availability will increase as a result of the
efforts of this Open Access Plan for Operation of the Casino and other efforts
to remove discriminatory barriers. Accordingly, JCC anticipates significant
incremental increases in its hiring and contracting goals as a result of the
reassessments of goals that will commence in September 2000 pursuant to Part V,
Subpart I of the Open Access Program."

         1.       PART III, SUBPART A.4. IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS
                  ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

                  "4. EVALUATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORTS (EMPLOYMENT)

         JCC shall utilize Good Faith Efforts to meet the goals and requirements
of the Open Access Program and Plan. Good Faith Efforts means actions taken by
JCC in a true and genuine attempt to achieve compliance with and to further the
intent and purpose of the Open Access Plan and Open Access Program, without any
design to deceive or defraud the City/Landlord or the intended beneficiaries of
the Open Access Plan or Open

<PAGE>

Access Program or otherwise undermine the intent of the Open Access Plan or Open
Access Program. Good faith requires that JCC make all reasonable and necessary
efforts to achieve its goals articulated in the Open Access Plan and Open Access
Program. To evaluate whether JCC has utilized Good Faith Efforts, the number and
quality of the following activities may be considered:

A.       Outreach, Recruitment and Retention

         1.       Dissemination of Information on Employment Needs: whether JCC
                  used the services of community organizations, skills training
                  programs, employment agencies and educational institutions
                  that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of
                  disadvantaged and minority individuals.

         2.       Policy Statements: whether JCC's employees were provided with
                  copies of an employee handbook, which contained EEO and Open
                  Access policies.

         3.       Publications: whether JCC EEO and Open Access policies were
                  featured periodically in employee publications

                  communications with major established and reputable recruiting
                  sources.

         5.       Employment Application: whether JCC's employment application
                  communicated prominently JCC's EEO policy.

         6.       Applicant Flow and Personnel Monitoring: whether JCC maintains
                  employment in a human resources information system and has the
                  ability to analyze transactions to identify problem areas and
                  take appropriate remedial actions as necessary.

         7.       Irrelevant Criteria: whether JCC ensures that no irrelevant or
                  unnecessary elements were included in the selection criteria.

         8.       Job Fairs. JCC, independently or in conjunction with other
                  agencies and/or employers, shall conduct job fairs, as needed,
                  aimed at recruiting individuals in different areas of New
                  Orleans where applications will be distributed and collected.
                  JCC shall designate persons to direct these intensified
                  outreach efforts.

         9.       Benefits Advertising. JCC shall include in its recruiting and
                  employment materials and literature information and data
                  emphasizing its Child Care, Education Assistance and Home
                  Ownership Programs.

<PAGE>

B.       Training and Career Development

         1.       Independent Training Agencies: whether JCC assisted,
                  established and reputable skills training centers, Open Access
                  Participants and others in establishing programs to train
                  workers for jobs existing at the Casino.

         2.       Career Development: whether JCC utilized a variety of career
                  development techniques, including:

                  (i)      whether JCC made available a variety of classroom and
                           other training programs to enhance the knowledge and
                           skills of employees;

                  (ii)     whether JCC used on-the-job training to enhance
                           performance;

                  (iii)    whether JCC used apprenticeships to provide
                           accelerated cross occupational training;

                  (iv)     whether JCC instituted an internship program for
                           college and university students age twenty-one (21)
                           and over;

                  (v)      whether JCC advised the Mayor and the New Orleans
                           City Council Special Projects Committee (or its
                           successor committee) of the details of its training
                           programs and any significant changes in these
                           programs.

         3.       Staff Training: whether JCC held training sessions to inform
                  management employees and others engaged in employment
                  processes of JCC's commitment and responsibilities under the
                  Open Access Program."

AS FOLLOWS:

<PAGE>

             "g. PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: Insofar as JCC becomes aware of the

         JCC will include in the report any explanatory or background
information which it believes will aid in understanding or interpreting the data
being reported and information on any other relevant subjects as requested by
the Mayor and/or the City Council.

         Commencing on July 31, 2002, JCC will submit annually, a report, in
writing, to the City Council on the success of the Open Access Plan for
Operation of the Casino regarding the employment component for operation of the
Casino in reducing unemployment, underemployment, chronic unemployment, under
utilization of traditionally disadvantaged groups and on the Open Access
Program's impact on the community.

<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations for JCC's semi-annual
reports, the RDC, the Mayor and the City Council acknowledge that, as an
on-going matter, periodic revisions and adjustments to JCC's reporting
obligations will be needed. Within twenty-four months from the date that all
parties execute the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement,
representatives of the RDC, the Mayor, the City Council and JCC will meet, at a
time and place that is mutually acceptable to the parties, for the purpose of
revising and implementing the JCC Open Access Program and the JCC Open Access
Plans in a manner that is consistent with the Mayor's and the City Council's
efforts to standardize all City approved Plans and Programs to make them
consistent with current law. The representatives identified above will
specifically discuss the implementation of a Plan and Program based upon low
income and/or disadvantage status. Before becoming effective, any proposed
revisions to JCC's Plan and/or Program from this or comparable meetings must be
agreed to in writing by the RDC and the Mayor and must obtain approval of the
City Council."

         for the success of JCC's equal employment opportunity and Open Access
         policy. JCC shall require HNOMC to comply with the provisions of the
         Open Access Program and these Open Access Plans insofar as its
         contractual duties to JCC bear upon such activities. JCC continues to
         take full responsibility for any aspects of the implementation of these

FOLLOWS:

                  2. OPEN ACCESS CONTRACTING OBJECTIVES:

                  Based on findings of the NERA Study concerning actual
availability, JCC will make all necessary and reasonable efforts to achieve the
following utilization levels for MBEs and non-minority WBEs, respectively, in
the operation of the Casino. These goals are applicable to all service and
commodities contracting by JCC and HJC, as defined and explained in the NERA
Study at page 136 and in the supplemental memorandum attached as Addendum J
hereto. (Lists of commodity and non-professional service purchases submitted to
NERA as a basis for developing these goals are attached hereto as Addenda K and
L, respectively.) The resulting goals are as follows:

                             Operations Contracting

<Table>
<Caption>
                                                           Non-Minority
                                              MBEs             WBEs
                                           ----------     --------------
<S>                                        <C>            <C>
Professional Services                         3.1%             10.3%
Commodities and Non-Professional Services     7.5%             14.7%
</Table>

<PAGE>

         If within each particular Open Access category for a particular
reporting period, JCC has used its Good Faith Efforts to fulfill its
Non-Minority WBE goals and JCC has a sufficient surplus number of MBE
participants to offset a deficiency in the Non-Minority WBE goals, JCC shall be
deemed to be in compliance with the Plan for that reporting period.

As suggested by the NERA Study finding that potential availability of Minority
Individuals and MBEs greatly exceeds actual availability, JCC anticipates that
such actual availability will increase as a result of the efforts of this Open
Access Plan for Operation of the Casino and other efforts to remove
discriminatory barriers. Accordingly, JCC anticipates significant incremental
increases in its hiring and contracting goals as a result of the reassessments
of goals that will commence in September 2000 in accordance with Part V, Subpart
I of the Open Access Program. Thus, JCC has a present perception that the
appropriate contracting goal for operation of the Casino by March 31, 2001 will
be higher than those set forth above, and that comparable percentage increases
in goals will be called for by subsequent goal assessments."

         15. PART III, SUBPART B.4. IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

         "4. EVALUATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORTS (CONTRACTING)

         JCC shall utilize its Good Faith Efforts to meet the goals and
requirements of the Open Access Plan. Good Faith Efforts means actions taken by
JCC in a true and genuine attempt to achieve compliance with and to further the
intent and purpose of the Open Access Plan and Open Access Program, without any
design to deceive or defraud the

<PAGE>

City/Landlord or the intended beneficiaries of the Open Access Plan or Open
Access Program or otherwise undermine the intent of the Open Access Plan or Open
Access Program. Good faith requires the JCC make all reasonable and necessary
efforts to achieve its goals articulated in the Open Access Plan and Open Access
Program. To evaluate whether JCC has utilized its Good Faith Efforts, the number
and quality of the following activities may be considered:

         1.       whether JCC held any pre-bid meetings for formal bids to
                  inform Open Access Participants of contracting opportunities
                  and/or utilized the Open Access Program Directory of
                  Certifications.

         2.       whether JCC advertised in general circulation and targeted
                  association publications concerning Open Access Program
                  contracting opportunities, and allowed the Open Access
                  Participants reasonable time to respond;

         3.       whether JCC provided written notice to a reasonable number of
                  specific Open Access Participants and allowed sufficient time
                  for the Open Access Participants to participate effectively;

         4.       whether JCC selected portions of the work to be performed by
                  Open Access Participants in order to increase the likelihood
                  of meeting the Open Access Program goals (including, where
                  appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically
                  feasible units to facilitate Open Access Participant
                  participation);

         5.       whether JCC encourages its contractors to seek out
                  DBEsubcontractors at appropriate participation levels;

         6.       whether JCC provided interested Open Access Participants with
                  adequate information about the plans, specifications and
                  requirements of the contract;

         7.       whether JCC negotiated in "good faith" with interested Open
                  Access Participants and did not reject Open Access
                  Participants as unqualified without sound reasons based on a
                  thorough investigation of their capabilities;

         8.       Community Resources. JCC has and will continue to use, as
                  needed, the services of available minority and women's
                  community organizations; minority and women's contractors'
                  groups; local, state and federal minority and women's business
                  assistance offices; disability rights

<PAGE>

                  organizations; and other organizations that provide assistance
                  in the recruitment and placement of Open Access Participant
                  firms and in the recruitment of firms eligible for
                  certification as Open Access Participant firms.

         9.       Disqualification. If JCC rejects an Open Access Participant
                  firm as unqualified, JCC will maintain a written record of its
                  reason(s).

         10.      Participation Records. JCC shall maintain a written record of
                  each supply and service contract, the dollar value of each
                  contract and the MBE or WBE status of each contractor or
                  subcontractor.

         11.      Replacement of Contracts with Open Access Participants. JCC
                  shall strive to ensure that majority-owned firms are not
                  substituted for contracted MBE and WBE firms in a manner that
                  is consistent with the objectives of the Open Access Program,
                  as stated in Part I, Subpart B thereof. JCC will give notice
                  to the RDC of any substitution of a minority-owned firm for an
                  MBE or WBE. JCC will investigate any complaints by MBE or WBE
                  firms relating to substituting majority-owned firms for them."

         16. PART III, SUBPART B.5. IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

                  "5.      REPORTING

         JCC will report semi-annually to the RDC, the Mayor and the City
Council with regard to its progress implementing the contracting provisions of
the Open Access Plan for Operation of the Casino in accordance with Part II,
Subpart C; Part IV, Subpart F; and Part V, Subpart B of the Open Access Program.

         Reports will be filed no later than one month after the close of each
semi-annual period, with reports due on July 31st and January 31st, for the
previous calendar year. JCC shall submit semi-annual reports concerning
contracting relating to the operation of the Casino.

         The semi-annual reports shall address:

<PAGE>

            o  Efforts undertaken by JCC to publicize the provisions and
               opportunities of the Casino operations procurement program.

            o  Efforts undertaken by JCC to identify Open Access Participant
               firms and efforts undertaken to encourage participation in the
               Casino operations procurement program.

            o  Efforts undertaken by JCC to remedy any inability of Open Access
               Participant firms to perform procurement contracts or proposed
               procurement contracts.

            o  A summary of the progress being made toward the Casino operations
               procurement program's objectives and goals.

            o  The extent to which joint ventures, made up in part of MBEs
               and/or WBEs, have been utilized by JCC in operating the Casino.

            o  Name, address and phone number of each MBE and WBE that has been
               contacted by JCC.

            o  Name, address and phone number of each MBE and WBE that responded
               to requests from JCC.

            o  A list of all service and supply contracts awarded to an MBE or
               WBE, including for each the date awarded; the type of good(s) or
               service(s) provided; name, address, phone number, contact person
               and the racial or gender category of the MBE and WBE.

            o  The number of service and supply contracts awarded to each
               individual MBE and individual WBE; and the dollar value of each
               of those contracts during the reporting period.

<PAGE>

            o  Recommendations of JCC to strengthen its Open Access Program.

            o  Forecast of the procurement contracts expected to be awarded,
               including probable monetary amounts involved, the number and type
               of contracts to be awarded and expected solicitation dates.

            o  The total dollar volume of service and supply contracts signed
               during the covered quarter for operation of the Casino and the
               total dollar volume and percentage of such contracts awarded to
               MBEs and WBEs during the quarter.

            o  All funds paid to MBE and WBE service and supply contractors on a
               cumulative basis, the percentage which those funds constitute of
               the total funds paid as of the end of the semi-annual period, and
               the aggregate amount of funds paid to MBEs and WBE as of the end
               the semi-annual period.

            o  All funds paid to MBE and WBE service and supply contractors on a
               quarterly and semi-annual basis and the percentage which those
               funds constitute of the total funds paid for that period.

            o  In reporting on the four (4) preceding items, funds paid to joint
               ventures made up in part of MBEs and/or WBEs shall be counted
               only to the extent of monies actually received by the MBE and/or
               WBE, excluding any work said MBE and/or WBE subcontracted to a
               non-Open Access Participant firm.

            o  In the performance of its work on the Casino, an MBE or WBE
               contractor or subcontractor may enter into second-tier
               subcontracts consistent with

<PAGE>

               standard industry practices. However, if an MBE or WBE contractor
               or subcontractor subcontracts a significantly greater portion of
               the work of its contract or subcontract to a non-MBE or non-WBE
               than would be expected on the basis of standard industry
               practices, then that MBE or WBE subcontractor will not be viewed
               as performing a commercially useful function and JCC may not
               count such participation towards the MBE or WBE goals under these
               Open Access Plans.

            o  MBE and WBE manufacturers, suppliers (subject to the immediately
               following paragraph) and wholesalers will be credited for the
               entire amount of purchase orders involved, regardless of who does
               the installation; provided, however, if the installation price
               paid to a non-MBE or non-WBE contractor exceeds fifty percent
               (50%) of the purchase price, JCC will receive MBE or WBE credit
               for the purchase price only. JCC will not double count amounts
               paid for the purchase of equipment, products or supplies from
               MBEs or WBEs and amounts paid for installation by MBEs or WBEs.

            o  MBE and WBE suppliers will be given full credit for purchase
               orders if such suppliers are bona fide business enterprises which
               maintain inventory for sale to customers (i.e., they are not
               brokers).

            o  A breakdown of the firms that were certified, decertified and
               recertified during the semi-annual period and whether they are
               MBEs or WBEs.

<PAGE>

         In reporting on its progress toward achieving its goals for the
semi-annual period, JCC will compare its performance data against the goals as
set forth in this Open Access Plan for Operation of the Casino. Therefore, the
semi-annual report, in addition to the data described above, shall include all
data needed to make the calculations described in Part IV, Subparts A and F of
the Open Access Program as well as all figures necessary to make those
calculations. JCC's semi-annual contracting reports will also describe
additional efforts to comply with the relevant portions of Part IV, Subpart A of
the Open Access Program.

         JCC will include in the report any explanatory or background
information which it believes will aid in understanding or interpreting the data
being reported and information on any other relevant subjects as requested by
the Mayor and/or of the City Council.

         Commencing on July 31, 2002, JCC will submit an annual report, in
writing, for the previous calendar year, to the City Council on the success of
the Open Access Plan for Operation of the Casino regarding the contracting
component for operation of the Casino in reducing unemployment, underemployment,
chronic unemployment, under utilization of traditionally disadvantaged groups
and on the Open Access Program's impact on the community.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations for JCC's semi-annual
reports, the RDC, the Mayor and the City Council acknowledge that, as an
on-going matter, periodic revisions and adjustments to JCC's reporting
obligations will be needed. Within twenty-four months from the date that all
parties execute the Second Amendment to Amened and Restated Lease Agreement,
representatives of the RDC, the Mayor, the City Council and

<PAGE>

JCC will meet, at a time and place that is mutually acceptable to the parties,
for the purpose of revising and implementing the JCC Open Access Program and the
JCC Open Access Plans in a manner that is consistent with the Mayor's and the
City Council's Efforts to standardize all City approved Plans and Programs to
make them consistent with current law. The representatives identified above will
specifically discuss the implementation of a Plan and Program based upon law
income and/or disadvantage status. Before becoming effective, any proposed
revisions to JCC's Plan and/or Program from this or comparable meetings must be
agreed to in writing by the RDC and the Mayor and must obtain approval of the
City Council.

         16.      In the event of any conflict between any of the terms and
                  conditions of the Open Access Program and this Amendment to
                  the Open Access Program, the terms and conditions of this
                  amendment to the Open Access Program shall prevail."\

         17.      Section "K" of the Addenda To The Amended and Restated Open
                  Access Plans is amended as follows:

                  a. "Hotels", are deleted from the Annual Operating Purchases;

                  b. "Waste Removal" is added to the Annual Operating Purchases;

         18.      Section "I" of the Addenda To The Amended and Restated Open
                  Access Plans is amended as follows:

                  a. "Insurance and "Entertainment-Performers and agencies", are
deleted from the Annual Operating category;

                  b. "Employment Services" and "Guard/Security Services" are
added to the Annual Operating category.<PAGE>
                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.14

         1. PART II, SUBPART "T" OF THE OPEN ACCESS PROGRAM ("PROGRAM") IS
         HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

"T. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PUBLIC SUPPORT EFFORTS

         In addition to the payments to be made to fund Newcorp pursuant to Part
II, Subpart B of this Open Access Program, JCC will also donate an aggregate
amount of $2,500,000 as contributions to public support efforts over the course
of five (5) years. These contributions shall be payable in five (5) annual
installments of $500,000 per year, the first of which shall be made as of the
opening date of the Casino, with additional $500,000 installments to be paid on
each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary dates thereafter (funded
each year in quarterly installments to a separate account established for that
purpose as stated below). Such donations are designed to enhance existing
business development programs and other public support endeavors, which will be
selected based on the following criteria:

          o Potential recipients of such funds will be identified by: (i)
            applications from potential recipients; (ii) recommendations from
            public and private agencies and officials; (iii) JCC on its own
            initiative; or (iv) otherwise as the circumstances may allow;

          o JCC shall decide upon the recipients and the amounts of such funds,
            keeping RDC, the Mayor and the New Orleans City Council advised on a
            semi-annual basis in the semi-annual reports described in Part II,
            Subpart C and Part V, Subpart B of this Open Access Program. This
            will be accomplished by the President of Harrah's New Orleans
            Management

<PAGE>

            Company, as assisted by his or her staff and as authorized by the
            member(s) of JCC. A form of application will be prepared and
            distributed within sixty (60) days after the effective date of the
            Plan of Reorganization of HJC;

          o All grant applications must articulate specific goals to be
            achieved. Preference will be given to applications for grants of
            $20,000 or less. However, subsequent grants to the same entity are
            possible for larger projects, provided the recipient has achieved
            the goals articulated in the first grant. Applicants that anticipate
            applying for a series of small grants may say so in their first
            application, and may describe the overall project they hope to
            develop. However, as noted, subsequent grants will only be made to
            an entity or individual if JCC's monitoring determines that the
            first grant was used for the intended purposes.

         The intended focus of such contributions to public support efforts will
be on programs aimed at fostering emerging or new Open Access Participant firms
and the training and skills improvements that will allow Open Access
Participants to participate in and benefit from new and existing business
opportunities. This delineation of the intended uses of the funds is intended to
be illustrative, but not necessarily comprehensive, as it is not possible to
list all types of activities that fit within the terms "existing business
development programs and other public support endeavors." Undoubtedly the
creative individuals and organizations that engage in such activities both now
and in future years will advance a broad array of opportunities for
consideration. All contributions are subject to those statutes, regulations and
guidelines promulgated by the

<PAGE>

State and Federal governments and their instrumentalities, which govern spending
by JCC.

         At the beginning of each semi-annual period (commencing with the
opening date of the Casino), JCC shall pay fifty (50%) of the public support
efforts funds for the year (i.e. $250,000 of the yearly amount of $500,000) into
a separate account. On a monthly, or such other basis as specified in approved
grants, payments shall be made from that account to approved grant recipients,
pursuant to the process articulated above. Any of these funds not disbursed
during the quarter shall remain in the separate account, to be disbursed, along
with the funds to be added by JCC during the next quarter, to approved grant
recipients in accordance with the payment schedule specified in the approved
grants. It is the intent of this public support efforts funding process that, by
the end of each year, all five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) shall have
been paid into the separate fund, with as much of it disbursed to approved grant
recipients as possible.

         JCC shall include in each semi-annual report to the RDC, the Mayor, and
the New Orleans City Council (see Part II, Subpart C and Part V, Subpart B of
this Open Access Program) a report showing how much JCC paid into the separate
account during the prior six-month period, the amount disbursed to approved
grant recipients under this public support efforts program during the prior
six-month period, and the amount remaining in the separate account at the end of
each semi-annual period. Said report shall also list the amount for each of
these items on a year-to-date basis.

         If any moneys remain undisbursed in the separate account at the end of
the year, they, along with any interest in the account, shall be carried
forward, to be disbursed to approved grant recipients in subsequent semi-annual
periods."

         2. PART IV, SUBPART A.2. IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

         "2. "Net hiring for the semi-annual period" for any particular job
category is the figure which results from adding the new hires, plus the
promotions and the transfers into the job category or categories being
considered during the relevant semi-annual period, and then subtracting (from
that interim number) the layoffs, demotions, terminations (both voluntary and
involuntary) and transfers out of the relevant job category during the
semi-annual period involved. This number can be expressed as a percentage by
comparing the net hiring figure for a particular category of Open Acres
Participants (e.g., non-minority women) for a particular job category (e.g.,
professionals) to the net hiring figure for everyone in that category for the
semi-annual period involved (i.e., the net hiring of women professionals
compared to the net hiring of all professionals during that semi-annual
period)."

         3. PART IV, SUBPART A.3. IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

         "3. "Total employment of Open Access Participants in a particular
employment category at the end of a particular semi-annual period" means the
percentage of each category of Open Access Participants in the employment
category involved on the last two (2) payroll days of the particular semi-annual
period, averaged. Thus, the number of a particular category of Open Access
Participants (e.g., non-minority women) employed in a particular job category
(e.g., professionals) on the last two (2) payroll days of the last month of a
particular semi-annual period is compared to the total number of persons
employed in that category on those two (2) days, with the result expressed as a

<PAGE>

percentage (e.g., 60 non-minority women professionals out of 200 total
professionals on June 17th and 66 non-minority women professionals out of a
total of 210 professionals on June 31st would result in 30.73% non-minority
women for the semi-annual period)."

         4. PART IV, SUBPART B IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN IT ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

"B.      WAIVER SYSTEM

                  In the event that JCC reasonably believes in advance of the
beginning of any semi-annual period that, despite it making all necessary and
reasonable efforts, it will be unable to achieve the goal in any particular
employment category, construction or contracting category, JCC may apply to the
RDC Board of Directors for an advance waiver of that goal, in whole or in part,
fully supporting its application in writing with objective data and other
relevant information about the actual unavailability of Open Access Participants
for the particular employment category or actual unavailability of MBE or WBE
companies for the particular construction contracting category involved during
the semi-annual period for which the waiver is requested. Such an application
shall be made at least thirty (30) days in advance of the beginning of the
semi-annual period for which it is requested. Notwithstanding the submission of
any such waiver application, JCC shall continue to make all necessary and
reasonable efforts to achieve the goal from which JCC has requested a waiver.

         The RDC Board shall designate a person (or persons) to review the
application. The RDC designee may, without a hearing, reject an application
which he or she deems inappropriate; in which case, the RDC designee must state
the reasons for rejection, in a letter to JCC, the Mayor, and the Chair of the
New Orleans City Council Special Development Projects Committee (or its
successor committee). Alternatively, the RDC

<PAGE>

designee may arrange a meeting of persons he or she deems appropriate, plus
persons JCC deems appropriate, in order to discuss and address the issues
presented in the waiver request and the relevant information. In either case,
within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the waiver request, the RDC
designee shall respond in writing, stating that he or she will recommend the
waiver, in whole or in part, or will not recommend it, and stating the reasons
for his or her decision. If the RDC designee recommends the waiver, he or she
shall send a written recommendation of a waiver for a particular semi-annual
period to the Mayor and the Chair of the New Orleans City Council Special
Development Projects Committee (or its successor). The New Orleans City Council
Special Development Projects Committee (or its successor) will consider the
recommendation at its next regularly scheduled meeting, and the Mayor shall act
expeditiously.

         A waiver shall be effective only if it is approved in writing by both
the Mayor and the New Orleans City Council Special Development Projects
Committee (or its successor), and shall be effective only for the semi-annual
period for which it is approved. In the event there is no successor for the New
Orleans City Council Special Development Projects Committee, approval must be
obtained from a majority of the members of the New Orleans City Council and from
the Mayor. The parties understand and agree that the timing of the application,
meeting schedules, volume of material to be considered, and other matters may
result in the waiver (if it is granted) being applicable to a semi-annual period
subsequent to the one for which JCC originally made application. If a waiver is
granted, whatever portion of the goal that is not waived shall remain as the
goal for the particular semi-annual period involved, and all of the rights,
duties, and procedures articulated in this Part IV of this Open Access Program
shall remain

<PAGE>

applicable to that unwaived portion of the goal. If a waiver is not granted for
a particular semi-annual period, then all of the rights, duties, and procedures
articulated in this Part IV of this Open Access Program shall remain applicable
for that semi-annual period."

"C.      VIOLATIONS WITH RESPECT TO EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTING GOALS

         For each semi-annual period in which the Mayor finds JCC to be in
violation, the Mayor may assess a fine of up to $10,000.00 for each Category of
Violation relating to any one of the eighteen (18) employment and six (6)
contracting categories in the Open Access Plans See Part IV, Subpart A(1)(a) and
Subpart A(1)(b) of this Open Access Program. If subsequent violations of the
same Category of Violation are found by the Mayor for two or more consecutive
semi-annual periods, the Mayor may assess a fine for the second and subsequent
semi-annual periods of up to $20,000.00 for each Category of Violation."

OBLIGATIONS

         The fine for each violation of JCC's quarterly funding obligation to
Newcorp (See Part IV, Subpart A(1)(c) of this Open Access Program), or violation
of funding obligations for public support efforts (See Part IV, Subpart A(1)(d)
of this Open Access Program) shall be set by the Mayor in an amount not to
exceed $20,000.00 for the first violation. If subsequent violations of the same
Category of Violation are found by the

<PAGE>

Mayor for two or more consecutive semi-annual period, the Mayor may assess a
fine for the second and subsequent semi-annual periods of up to $40,000.00 for
each Category of Violation."

         In the event JCC counts as MBEs or WBEs in its semi-annual reports
companies which it has not yet so certified, then the Mayor may impose a fine
for each such purported MBE or WBE that has been so counted. See Part IV,
Subpart A(1)(e) of this Open Access Program. The fine for each such violation of
JCC's certification obligation shall be set by the Mayor in an amount not to
exceed $20,000.00 for the first violation. If subsequent violations of this
Category of Violation are found by the Mayor for two or more consecutive
semi-annual period, the Mayor may assess a fine for the second and subsequent
semi-annual period of up to $40,000.00 for each Category of Violation."

         8. PART IV, SUBPART F IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

"F.      MEASURES OF COMPLIANCE

         If during any semi-annual reporting period, JCC has: (a) achieved all
the employment goals (as specified in the Open Access Plans), as measured by
"total employment of Open Access Participants" in all employment categories at
the end of that semi-annual period (as defined in Part IV, Subpart A(3), above);
and (b) achieved the MBE and WBE contracting goals specified in those Plans, as
measured by contracting dollars disbursed to MBEs and WBE contracting goals
specified in those Plans, as

<PAGE>

measured by contracting dollars disbursed to MBEs and WBEs during the particular
semi-annual period; and (c) complied with its obligations with respect to
Newcorp; and (d) made the required public support donations; and (e) complied
with the Certification Process requirements, then JCC shall be deemed to be in
compliance with the Plans for that reported period.

         If JCC's "total employment of Open Access Participants" for a
particular employment category at the end of the particular semi-annual period
involved is less than the employment goal for that category of Open Access
participants, or its contracting dollars disbursed to MBEs and WBEs during the
particular semi-annual period involved are less than the contracting goal for
that category of contractors, then the Major must evaluate the following
factors:

         1.       Whether JCC has made all necessary and reasonable efforts to
                  perform the tasks identified as Compliance-Oriented efforts
                  (described in Appendices A, B, C and D of this Open Access
                  Program) in a manner intended to achieve that particular goal;

         2.       Whether: (i) JCC's deficiency in reaching the particular
                  employment goal for the semi-annual period involved is no more
                  than ten percent (10%) below the particular employment goal
                  for the category of Open Access Participants being considered
                  (e.g. if the goal for non-minority women professionals is
                  thirty-percent (30%), a positive score can be obtained for
                  this factor only if total employment of non-minority women
                  professionals at the end of the semi-annual period, when
                  rounded down to the nearest whole number, is twenty-seven
                  percent (27%) or higher), or (ii) JCC's

<PAGE>

                  deficiency in reaching the particular employment goal for the
                  semi-annual period involved would not have occurred if the
                  "average of the number of persons in the category of Open
                  Access Participants" (e.g., non-minority women) in the job
                  category being considered (e.g., professionals) on the two (2)
                  payroll days used to calculate total employment had been two
                  persons higher than it actually was. For purposes of this
                  subparagraph 2(ii), the "average of the number of persons in
                  the category of Open Access Participants" is determined by
                  rounding down to the nearest whole number (e.g., if the
                  average of the number of non-minority women professionals is
                  7.8, then for purposes of this subparagraph 2(ii), the number
                  7.8 is rounded down to 7). Furthermore, this subparagraph
                  2(ii) is only applicable if the number of persons in the
                  category of Open Access Participants needed to meet the
                  particular employment goal being considered (e.g., thirteen
                  non-minority women professionals) is less than twenty (20). If
                  the number of persons in the category of Open Access
                  Participants needed to meet the particular employment goal
                  being considered is twenty (20) or more, then only the
                  calculation in subparagraph 2(i) can be used.

         3.       Whether JCC's "net hiring for the semi-annual period"
                  (expressed as a percentage) is at or above the goal for the
                  category involved, or is within one person of that goal or,
                  for contracting, its contracting dollars awarded during the
                  semi-annual period are at or above the goal for the category
                  of Open Access Participants involved;

<PAGE>

         4.       For contracting, whether JCC's contracting dollars disbursed
                  to MBEs and WBEs on a cumulative basis, as of the end of the
                  particular semi-annual period being considered, are at or
                  above the goal for the category of Open Access Participants
                  involved; and

         5.       Whether JCC reached the goal in the category (or categories)
                  involved during both of the two prior semi-annual periods.

         JCC shall be deemed to be in compliance for the particular semi-annual
period for a particular employment category, if the Mayor determines that JCC
has a positive score on three of factor numbers 1, 2, 3 or 5 described above,
and JCC prepares an Action Plan of additional efforts to be performed during the
next semi-annual period reasonably calculated to improve performance in the
category involved. During the subsequent semiannual period (or semi-annual
period, if the Action Plan covers more than one semi-annual), JCC's performance
of the tasks in the Action Plan (and the reasonableness of the Action Plan)
shall also be considered in evaluating factor number 1, above, in the Mayor's
evaluation of the factors described above.

         JCC shall be deemed to be in compliance for the particular semi-annual
period for a particular contracting category if the Mayor determines that JCC
has a positive score on three of factor numbers 1, 3, 4 or 5; and JCC prepares
an Action Plan of additional efforts to be performed during the next semi-annual
period reasonably calculated to improve performance in the category involved.
During the subsequent semi-annual period (or semi-annual period, if the Action
Plan covers more than one semi-annual period), JCC's performance of the tasks in
the Action Plan (and the

<PAGE>

reasonableness of the Action Plan) shall also be considered in evaluating factor
number 1, above, in the Mayor's evaluation of the factors described above.

                  In addition to the semi-annual reporting requirements set
forth in Part II, Subpart C of this Open Access Program, each semi-annual report
filed by JCC shall contain all information necessary to assist the Mayor in
measuring compliance through the evaluative process set forth above.

         If within each particular employment category for a particular
reporting period, JCC has used its Good Faith Efforts to fulfill its
non-minority female goals and JCC has a sufficient surplus number of minority
female Open Access participants to offset a deficiency in the non-minority
female goals, JCC shall be deemed to be in compliance with the Plans for that
reporting period."

         9. PART IV, SUBPART G IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

"G.      REQUESTS FOR REVIEW

If, after the Mayor has reviewed JCC's semi-annual report (for employment and
contracting, this will, if applicable, include his or her evaluation of factors
1 through 5 described in Part IV, Subpart F of this Open Access Program), he or
she concludes that JCC has violated one or more of the Categories of Violation
described in Part IV, Subpart A(1) of this Open Access Program, he or she may,
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the semi-annual report, issue a Request
for Review to JCC.

         The Request for Review shall set forth in detail the specific
Categories of Violation the Mayor believes that JCC has violated. In the Request
for Review, the Mayor may recommend actions to cure the areas of believed
non-compliance. If the

<PAGE>

Mayor fails to issue a Request for Review within this 30-day period, JCC shall
be deemed to be in compliance for that reporting period.

         In the event JCC fails to file a semi-annual report, the Mayor may
conclude that JCC has violated one or more Categories of Violation and the Mayor
may, within thirty (30) days of the deadline for filing the semi-annual report,
issue a Request for Review."

         10. PART V, SUBPART A IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
FOLLOWS:

A.       Demonstration of Good Faith Efforts

intent and purpose of the Open Access Plan and Open Access Program, without any
design to deceive or defraud the City/Landlord or the intended beneficiaries of
the Open Access Plan or Open Access Program or otherwise undermine the intent of
the Open Access Plan or Open Access Program. Good faith requires that JCC make
all reasonable and necessary efforts to achieve its goals articulated in the
Open Access Plan and Open Access Program. To evaluate whether JCC has utilized
Good Faith Efforts, the number and quality of the following activities may be
considered:

                           identify problem areas and take appropriate remedial
                           actions as necessary.

                  g.       Irrelevant Criteria: whether JCC ensured that no
                           irrelevant or unnecessary elements were included in
                           the selection criteria.

         13. APPENDICES "A" THROUGH "D" ARE HEREBY DELETED IN THEIR ENTIRETY AND
REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

         "APPENDIX "A" TO THE OPEN ACCESS PROGRAM

EVALUATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORTS (CONTRACTING)

         JCC shall utilize its Good Faith Efforts to meet the goals and
requirements of the Open Access Plan. Good Faith Efforts means actions taken by
JCC in a true and genuine attempt to achieve compliance with and to further the
intent and purpose of the Open Access Plan and Open Access Program, without any
design to deceive or defraud the City/Landlord or the intended beneficiaries of
the Open Access Plan or Open Access Program or otherwise undermine the intent of
the Open Access Plan or Open Access Program. Good faith requires that JCC make
all reasonable and necessary efforts to achieve its goals articulated in the
Open Access Plan and Open Access Program. To evaluate whether JCC has utilized
its Good Faith Efforts, the number and quality of the following activities may
be considered:

         1.       whether JCC held any pre-bid meetings for formal bids to
                  inform Open Access Participants of contracting opportunities
                  and/or utilized the Open Access Program Directory of
                  Certifications.

         2.       whether JCC advertised in general circulation and targeted
                  association publications concerning Open Access Program
                  contracting opportunities, and allowed the Open Access
                  Participants reasonable time to respond;

<PAGE>

         3.       whether JCC provided written notice to a reasonable number of
                  specific Open Access Participants and allowed sufficient time
                  for the Open Access Participants to participate effectively;

         4.       whether JCC selected portions of the work to be performed by
                  Open Access Participants in order to increase the likelihood
                  of meeting the Open Access Program goals (including, where
                  appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically
                  feasible units to facilitate Open Access Participant
                  participation);

         5.       whether JCC encourages its contractors to seek out DEB
                  subcontractors at appropriate participation levels;

         6.       whether JCC provided interested Open Access Participants with
                  adequate information about the plans, specifications and
                  requirements of the contract;

         7.       whether JCC negotiated in "good faith" with interested Open
                  Access Participants and did not reject Open Access
                  Participants as unqualified without sound reasons based on a
                  thorough investigation of their capabilities;

         8.       Community Resources. JCC has and will continue to use the
                  services of available minority and women's community
                  organizations; minority and women's contractors' groups;
                  local, state and federal minority and women's business
                  assistance offices; disability rights organizations; and other
                  organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and
                  placement of Open Access Participant firms and in the
                  recruitment of firms eligible for certification as Open Access
                  Participant firms.

         9.       Disqualification. If JCC rejects an Open Access Participant
                  firm as unqualified, JCC will maintain a written record of its
                  reason(s).

         10.      Participation Records. JCC shall maintain a written record of
                  each supply and service contract, the dollar value of each
                  contract and the MBE or WBE status of each contractor or
                  subcontractor.

         11.      Replacement of Contracts with Open Access Participants. JCC
                  shall strive to ensure that majority-owned firms are not
                  substituted for contracted MBE and WBE firms in a manner that
                  is consistent with the objectives of the Open Access Program,
                  as stated in Part 1, Subpart B thereof. JCC will give notice
                  to the RDC of any substitution of a minority-owned firm for an
                  MBE or WBE. JCC will investigate any complaints by MBE or WBE
                  firms relating to substituting majority-owned firms for them."
