WHEREAS, the City and MGC entered into that certain Lease and Development Agreement (the "Original Lease") dated June 7, 1993 relating to the development of the Argosy Casino in the City; WHEREAS, the City passed that certain Ordinance No. 93-37 dated July 6, 1993 amending the Original Lease ("First Amendment"); WHEREAS, the City, pursuant to Ordinance No. 93-41 dated July 20, 1993, MGC and Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, as Escrow Agent, entered into that certain Escrow Agreement also referred to as Amendment No. 2, amending the Original Lease, as previously amended by the First Amendment ("Second Amendment"); WHEREAS, the City, pursuant to Ordinance No. 93-41 dated July 20, 1993, Argosy Gaming Company and MGC entered into that certain Amendment No. 3 amending the Original Lease, as previously amended by the First and Second Amendments ("Third Amendment"); WHEREAS, the City, pursuant to Ordinance No. 94-12 dated February 7, 1994, and MGC entered into that certain Amendment No. 4 to Lease and Development Agreement dated February 7, 1994 amending the Original Lease, as previously amended by the First, Second and Third Amendments ("Fourth Amendment"); WHEREAS, the City, pursuant to Ordinance No. 95-37 dated June 20, 1995, and MGC entered into that certain Amendment No. 5 to Lease and Development Agreement dated June 20, 1995, amending the Original Lease, as previously amended by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Amendments ("Fifth Amendment"); and WHEREAS, the City and MGC desire to further amend the Original Lease, as previously amended by the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments (as now and hereafter amended, the "Lease"). Terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS AND PROMISES HEREIN CONTAINED, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LEASE IS AMENDED AS FOLLOWS: 1. TERM a. Term. The current renewal term of the Lease commenced on December 8, 1999 and shall terminate at 12:00 midnight on December 7, 2014, subject, however, to prior termination or to extension or renewal (if applicable) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. ]:\CLIENTS\61492\00006VC0259997.DOC b. Renewal. Providing MGC is operating a gaming facility in the City, the Lease shall be automatically renewed for six successive additional five year terms, commencing upon the expiration of each succeeding renewal term, if any, unless MGC provides the City with six (6) months prior written notice that MGC shall be terminating its operations within the City at the end of the then current term and MGC terminates its operations within the City at such time. 2 ADDITIONAL LEASED PREMISES AND PARKING LOT. The City leases (as a part of the leased premises under the Lease) to MGC the property described on Exhibit A being the southern portion of Tract 54 to be used solely as a surface parking lot for employees which area shall contain enough land for a surface parking lot ("Parking Lot") containing the same number and type of usable employee parking spaces as are, on the date hereof, located on the property donated as permanent right of way to the Levee District pursuant to this Amendment ("Donated Property"), the size of which shall be agreed upon in writing by the City and MGC prior to the commencement of construction of the Parking Lot and conveyance of the Donated Property. After the Donated Property is donated to the Levee District, MGC shall build and engineer, at MGC's cost, the Parking Lot; provided, however, MGC shall be entitled to a credit against rent due hereunder in an amount equal to the actual reasonable cost of constructing the Parking Lot in a manner and type similar to employee parking lot located on the Donated Property. Prior to the application of such credit, Argosy shall submit to the City a detail of the costs of the Parking Lot for which Argosy desires to claim a credit. If and to the extent approved by the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, MGC shall be entitled to a credit in the amount so approved against its next ensuing quarterly payment due to the City hereunder. 3. NEW EXPANSION The Expansion Facility and the Hotel are collectively the "New Expansion." a. Expansion Facility. MGC may construct, maintain and operate an expansion of its current facilities and has requested that the City consider a reduction in applicable rent percentages if MGC constructs, maintains and operates such an expansion. The City has, pursuant to this Amendment, agreed to reduce certain rent percentages if an expansion facility meeting the following minimum criteria ("Expansion Facility") is constructed by MGC: i. it must be constructed immediately adjacent to and as a part of the current MGC land based facility; ii. it must be constructed within the Redevelopment Project I-Phase A Area; iii. it must consist of at least 1,800 gaming positions; and iv. it must at all times have all permits, licenses, consents and authorizations required by the City, state and federal ordinances, rules, laws and regulations to enable MGC to conduct gaming operations in the Expansion Facility. 2 1:\CLIEN'I'S\61492\00006UC0259997.DOC b. Hotel. MGC is considering construction of a hotel in the City and has requested that the City consider an additional reduction in applicable rent percentages if the hotel is Opened. The City has, pursuant to this Amendment, agreed to further reduce certain percentages if a hotel meeting the following minimum criteria ("Hotel") is constructed by MGC and operated as a part of the overall MGC gaming facility: i. it must be located adjacent to the MGC Expansion Facility; ii. it must be located within the Redevelopment Project I-Phase A Area; iii. it must have a minimum of 150 sleeping rooms; and iv. it must at all times have all permits, licenses, consents and authorizations required by the City, state and federal ordinances, rules, laws and regulations to enable hotel operations to be conducted in the Hotel facility. c. Use of IBC. Argosy has stated that the Expansion Facility will not occur unless the International Building Code ("IBC") is utilized in the construction of the Expansion Facility and has requested that the City allow the Expansion Facility to be built in accordance with the IBC. The City acknowledges that Argosy has made such a statement and request. The City will adopt a process to consider variances from the City Code for items that conform to the International Building Code. d. Riparian Mitigation. Due to the New Expansion and the realignment of the Levee Project proposed by MGC, MGC is required to mitigate certain wetlands ("Wetlands") and certain riparian lands ("Riparian Mitigation") which are being displaced by such activities as further described in the Request for Modification of Department of the Army (DA) Permit No. 199400858 ("Permit") for the Riverside Casino Project in Platte County, Missouri submitted to the Corps on October 17, 2001 ("Modification Request") and approved by the letter from the Corps dated November 1, 2001. In connection with the Wetlands and the Riparian Mitigation, The City will allow as a credit but only against the portion of the rent defined below as the 100M Excess Rent, the actual acquisition cost of $4,500 per acre for the conservation easement to be acquired from Bill Mann ("Mann") to mitigate the Wetlands; provided, however, in no event shall such credit exceed $112,500. The 100M Excess Rent means the portion of the rent due under Section 4(a)(ii) or 4(a)(iii) based upon a percentage of AGR in excess of $100,000,000. ii. The parties acknowledge and agree that due to MGC's understanding that the Mann property could not be used as Riparian Mitigation (defined below) because Mann initially indicated that the growing of trees thereon might impair his ability to use of the rest of his property, MGC's Modification Request to the Corps indicated that certain riparian lands 3 J:\CLIEMS\61492\00006VC0259997.DOC ("Riparian Mitigation") would be mitigated on City Owned Property (defined below). Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Mann property is not currently approved by the Corps, in the modified Permit, for the "Riparian Mitigation." "Riparian lands" is an area set aside for trees which would normally be found along riverbanks in or near wetlands areas. Notwithstanding the above, since the submission of the Modification Request, MGC has entered into a contract with Mann which will allow, with Corps approval, the Mann property to be used as the Riparian Mitigation. The parties agree that the City Owned Property will be used for mitigation of the Riparian Mitigation only as a last resort. iii. Due to MGC's representation that it would be prevented from proceedings and the Expansion Project would be delayed or even potentially thwarted and conditioned upon MGC compliance with the conditions set forth in this section, the City will, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, enter into the Riparian Mitigation Agreement and grant the conservation easement ("City Conservation Easement"), both in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D for the property described in the attached Exhibit E ("City Owned Property"). iv. Notwithstanding the Corps' conditional approval of the Modification Request by letter dated November 1, 2001 or any other approvals or the execution and delivery of the Riparian Mitigation Agreement or the granting of the City Conservation Easement, prior to the actual use of the City Owned Property for the Riparian Mitigation, the parties agree that MGC will first use its best efforts to obtain a modification of its permit so that the Riparian Mitigation will be placed on property interests being acquired from Mann or on any other property acquired by MGC for such use rather than the City Owned Property. MGC will submit all documents and take all actions to obtain Corps approval relating to this matter, including the submission to the Corps of a modification request to use the Mann property for the Riparian Mitigation before January 31, 2002 and diligently pursuing the approval of same. Within ten (10) days of Corps approval of such request, MGC shall file a release and termination of the City Conservation Easement with the Platte County Recorder of Deeds. The City agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and to request assistance, as needed, from the Levee District to assist MGC in receiving favorable review and approval from the Corps. v. The terms, conditions and agreements set forth herein shall not merge when closing of the City Conservation Easement occurs but shall survive such closing and continue in full force and effect. 4 1:\CL~N7'S\61492\00006UC0259997.DOC 4. RENT a. Rent: During the term of the Lease and each renewal term, MGC will pay to the City for each lease year an amount equal to the following on all AGR earned during the applicable time period: i. Until the Opening of the Expansion Facility: 3% of first $50,000,000 of Adjusted Gross Receipts ("AGR") 4% of AGR between $50 and $100 Million 5% of AGR in excess of $100,000,000 ii. Upon Opening of the Expansion Facility: 3% of first $50,000,000 of AGR 4% of AGR between $50 and $100 Million 2% of AGR in excess of $100,000,000 iii. If the Hotel is Opened within five years of the date the Expansion Facility is Opened, then beginning upon the date the Hotel Opens and during the time the Hotel is so Opened and operating: 3% of first $50,000,000 of AGR 4% of AGR between $50 and $100 Million 1.5% of AGR in excess of $100,000,000 iv. Provided that if the statutory admission fee due and payable to the City under Section 313.820 RSMo ("Statutory Admission Fees") or the statutory AGR fees due and payable to the City under Section 313.822, RSMo ("Statutory AGR Fees") are reduced, eliminated or redirected through amendment(s) of these statutes or in any other manner by the Missouri General Assembly, rent hereunder shall be increased as follows: (1) if the Statutory Admission Fees or Statutory AGR Fees are reduced, eliminated or redirected and there is a net decease in the amount of such Statutory Admission Fees or Statutory AGR Fees paid by MGC, then the rent hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to such Statutory Admission Fees revenue reduction and/or Statutory AGR Fees revenue reduction, as the case may be, suffered by the City. EXAMPLE: The Statutory Admissions Fee is reduced to $1 and the City's portion thereof is reduced to $.50. For Year Y, total 5 1:\CL~NTS\61492\00006VC0259997.DOC admissions were 1,000,000. If such reduction had not occurred, MGC would have paid $2,000,000 and the City would have received $1,000,000; however, now MGC pays only $1,000,000 and the City receives only $500,000. The amount required to be paid by MGC has decreased by $1,000,000. The revenue reduction suffered by the City is $500,000. Therefore, rent hereunder is increased by $500,000. The same calculations would be performed if the Statutory AGR Fees were reduced or eliminated. (2) if such Statutory Admission Fees or Statutory AGR Fees are redirected in any manner which results in no net decrease in the amount of such Statutory Admission Fees or Statutory AGR Fees paid by MGC, then the rent hereunder for each year shall be increased by an amount equal to such Statutory AGR Fees revenue reduction and/or Statutory Admission Fees revenue reduction suffered by and redirected away from the City, as the case may be; but in no event shall such increase exceed $250,000 for each applicable year; provided, however, this subsection shall not apply during the time period that the Hotel is Opened and fully operational provided the Hotel is Opened within the time period required above. EXAMPLE: The Statutory Admission Fee is redirected in such a manner that the City's portion thereof is reduced to $.50. For Year Y, total admissions were 1,000,000. Since this is a redirection, MGC receives no decease in the amount it pays; it pays $2,000,000 for Year Y. If such redirection had not occurred, the City would have received $1,000,000; however, now the City receives only $500,000. Although the revenue reduction suffered by the City due to such redirection is $500,000, rent is increased by only $250,000, the maximum allowed in this situation. The same calculations would be performed if the Statutory AGR Fees were redirected. b. Timing of Payments: Such annual amount shall be paid in four quarterly installments, each payable not later than the 20~' day after the end of each quarter. Each quarterly installment shall be computed based upon quarterly AGR for the immediately preceding quarter taking into account the cumulative AGR for such lease year and shall be accompanied by the quarterly AGR statement that shall include the AGR for the immediately preceding quarter and the cumulative AGR for the lease year. If AGR is revised for any reason from the AGR used in calculating any applicable quarterly payment, MGC shall, within thirty days of such revision, provide to the City a revised AGR statement with an explanation of such revision and 6 J:\CLIENTS\61492\00006VC0259997.DOC shall (I) pay to the City an additional payment equal to the amount by which the total of the rent payments made for such lease year is less than the amount due computed on the revised AGR for that lease year; or portion thereof, as the case may be or (2) receive as a credit against the next rent payment due the City pursuant to this Lease, an amount equal to the amount by which the total of the rent payments made for such lease year is greater than the amount due computed on the revised AGR for that lease year; or portion thereof, as the case may be. ii. If the rent percentages are reduced during a lease year due to the Expansion Facility and/or the Hotel, such decreased percentages shall apply only to AGR earned on and after the date of such Opening, with the higher percentages applying to all AGR earned prior to the date of such Opening; provided further, for any quarter in which an Opening occurs, the quarterly AGR statement provided by MGC to the City shall also include the AGR for the portion of the quarter earned prior to the date of such Opening (stub period) and the AGR for the portion of the quarter earned on and after such Opening date (stub period). iii. All payments of rent, additional rent, or other payments required by the provisions of the Lease which are not paid when due shall be in default. All such payments, which are in default, shall bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum from and after the date said payments were due. c. Definition of Open. When used herein, the term "Open" and variations thereof means, With respect to the Expansion Facility, the Expansion Facility has been granted a certificate of occupancy and the Expansion Facility satisfies the following minimum criteria: (1) The Expansion Facility has been constructed immediately adjacent to and as a part of the current MGC land based facility; (2) The Expansion Facility has been constructed within the Redevelopment Project I-Phase A Area; (3) The Expansion Facility has at least 1,800 operating gaming positions; and (4) The Expansion Facility has been constructed and is being operated pursuant to all permits, licenses, consents and authorizations required by the City, state and federal ordinances, rules, laws and regulations to enable MGC to conduct gaming operations in the Expansion Facility. ii. With respect to the Hotel, the Hotel has been granted a certificate of occupancy and the Hotel satisfies the following minimum criteria: 7 ]:\CLIENTS\61492\00006UC0259997.DOC (1) The Hotel has been constructed immediately adjacent to the Expansion Facility; (2) The Hotel is located within the Redevelopment Project I-Phase A Area; (3) The Hotel has a minimum of 150 sleeping rooms; and (4) The Hotel has constructed and is being operated pursuant to all permits, licenses, consents and authorizations required by the City, state and federal ordinances, rules, laws and regulations to enable hotel operations to be conducted in the Hotel facility. 5. AUDIT The City's right of audit may be exercised at any time and from time to time within twenty-four (24) months after the end of any lease year; provided further that if at any time the State of Missouri, including the Missouri Gaming Commission, audits or otherwise determines that MGC's adjusted gross revenues have been (i) understated, MGC shall, within thirty (30) days, pay to the City the difference between the amount actually paid by MGC for such period and the amount which should have been paid on such increased adjusted gross receipts (ii) overstated, MGC may reduce its next rent payment to the City under this Lease by an amount equal to the difference between the amount actually paid by MGC for such period and the amount which should have been paid on such decreased adjusted gross receipts. Such audit(s) shall be conducted at reasonable times during MGC's normal business hours, 8:OOam to S:OOpm cst, at MGC's casino in the City. The acceptance by the City of any amount shall not prejudice or waive the City's right to an examination of MGC's books, records and accounts in order to verify AGR or the correct amount due under the Lease. 6. ARGOSY PARKWAY a. Maintenance Of Argosy Parkway i. When dedicated to and accepted by the City, Argosy Parkway will be maintained by the City as a public street. ii.

It is believed that the ten MGC signs attached as Exhibit B are located within the right-of--way of Argosy Parkway ("Signs"). MGC desires that the Signs be allowed to remain in their present location after Argosy Parkway becomes a public street. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, MGC may retain the Signs in their current location during the term of the Lease. MGC shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, replace and/or remove the Signs and all related improvements, keep the Signs in good condition and repair so as to keep same in a safe, sightly and functional condition at all times based on standards for first-class community signs and keep the areas immediately surrounding the Signs in a clean and orderly condition.
