Purchaser.

the Closing Date of the balance of the aforesaid cash

Liabilities and

amount shall not exceed $1,000,000.00 as of the Closing
Date, and shall be accounted for by Seller on closing as a
reduction to the cash payment in Section 4.1;

d. Non-delinquent city, county, levee, drainage, and school

Seller as of the Closing Date and verified as accurate by Purchaser.
Provided that the value of slot club points and unredeemed promotional
coupons shall be calculated upon Closing Date at sixty percent (60%) of
the face amount thereof; provided, further, that the actual dollar value
of the slot club points and promotional coupon

liability as of Closing Date shall be verified by a subsequent
accounting performed by Seller and Purchaser on the six (6) month
anniversary of the Closing Date and any variation in the actual dollar
value of these items which when added to the Designated Liabilities
causes the Designated Liabilities to exceed $2,000,000.00 shall result
in a payment by Seller to Purchaser in the amount of the excess of such
Designated Liabilities above $2,000,000.00 upon twenty (20) days advance
written notice of the excess.

Also, Purchaser shall assume the outstanding balance as of the Closing
Date on the subordinated secured note from the Seller to the Lender in

transaction described in Section 8.1(e) and Section 8.2(t) (hereinafter
the "SUBORDINATED DEBT").

4.6 CLOSING OF PURCHASE OF HOTEL ASSETS

The closing of the purchase of Hotel Assets shall be consummated

Closing have been fulfilled (hereinafter referred to as the
"HOTEL CLOSING DATE"). The Date of Substantial Completion of the
Hotel shall occur no later than February 6, 1998, or on such
later date as provided in this Section 4.6, and Seller represents
that February 26, 1998, is the latest date on which Seller must
complete the Casino Hotel in order to satisfy infrastructure
investment requirement applicable to the Casino under current
orders issued by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. In the event
that the Date of Substantial Completion for the Hotel is after
February 6, 1998, then for each day after February 6, 1998, until
Hotel Closing Date:

a. Seller shall pay to Purchaser liquidated damages of One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per day, payable weekly until
the Date of Substantial Completion of the Casino Hotel,
the payment of which shall be secured by a security
interest in Seller's limited partnership interest in
Purchaser, as more particularly described in the pledge of
partnership in-

strument attached as Schedule 4.6 (hereinafter referred to
as the "PLEDGE OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST"); and

b. In the event any failure to complete the Casino Hotel
(including, but not limited to, a failure caused by a
casualty loss) results in any suspension of Purchaser's
gaming license at the Casino by the Mississippi Gaming
Commission, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an additional
amount of liquidated damages in the sum of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per day, payable daily, for
each day during which such suspension is in effect, which
liability shall be secured by a security interest in
Seller's limited partnership interest in Purchaser, as
more particularly described in the Pledge of Partnership
Insterest attached as Schedule 4.6. In the event any
amount of liquidated damages is in excess of the value of
the limited partnership interest when applied against it,
the excess shall be due and payable from Seller. Provided,
however, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of its
intent to collect such liability under Section 4.6(a) or
Section 4.6(b) by exercise of Purchaser's rights under the
Pledge of Partnership Interest and Seller shall have
thirty

(30) days to pay the amount to be otherwise collected
under the Pledge of Partnership Interest in cash or other
immediately available funds. In the event of any such cash
payment by Seller, Purchaser's right to collect the amount
owing by exercise of Purchaser's rights under the Pledge
of Partnership Interest shall be reduced by the amount
thus paid. The Purchaser agrees to take such reasonable
action and work with the Mississippi Gaming Commission and
Seller to prevent the suspension of the Purchaser's gaming
license. Provided, further, it is expressly understood
that the notice and procedure provisions set forth in
Paragraph 9.7 shall have no application to the payments
required in this Paragraph 4.6(a) and (b).

c. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the
Hotel Closing, should Purchaser, due to no fault of Seller
or its agents, representatives or contractors, fail to
close the purchase of the Hotel Assets within fifteen (15)

to Seller, in addition to the interest specified in
Section 4.4, an additional sum of One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) per day, payable weekly, for each day
thereafter during which Purchaser does not

close the purchase of the Hotel Assets. If after the
expiration of the sixty (60) day period following the
receipt of the notice of the Date of Substantial
Completion, Purchaser has failed to close the purchase of
Hotel Assets under conditions stated above in this Section
4.6(c), in addition to the monetary penalties provided

9. POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS:
The parties agree that after the Closing:

9.1 DISCLOSURE AND USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Confidentiality Agreement dated September 30, 1997,
(hereinafter "CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT") between the parties
shall remain in effect until December 31, 2002, provided that the
restrictions in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be waived to
the extent notices must be given or filings must be made by
either the Seller or Purchaser to any partners, shareholders,
regulatory officials, or other third parties, provided that any

notices, filings or announcements concerning the transaction made
by Seller or Purchaser which contain Confidential Information
covered by the Confidentiality Agreement will be subject to
advance review and approval by the opposite party, which approval
shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

9.2 USE OF TRADEMARKS

Seller shall not use and shall not license or permit any third
party to use, any names, slogan, logo or trademark which is
similar or deceptively similar to any of the names or trademarks
presently used or which may be used prior to Closing Date in
connection with the Casino's business.

9.3 HIRING AWAY EMPLOYEES

For a period commencing on the Execution Date and ending 180 days
after the Closing Date, Seller and its affiliates shall not
employ or take any actions which are calculated to persuade any
salaried, technical or special employees, representatives or
agents of Purchaser who are rehired by Purchaser at Closing to
terminate their association with Purchaser and thereafter shall
only take such actions upon 30 days prior written notice provided
to Purchaser. This

section shall not apply to any employee who Purchaser chooses not
to employ as of the Closing Date.

9.4 BACK-UP

Seller shall, at Purchaser's request and expense, furnish to
Purchaser such documents and information with respect to Seller,
the Casino, or the Casino Hotel, which are in Seller's possession
and which are requested in connection with any investigation by
the Mississippi Gaming Commission or any tax authorities.

9.5 FURTHER ASSURANCES

The parties shall execute such further documents, and perform
such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary to transfer and
convey the Assets to Purchaser on the terms herein contained and
to otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.

9.6 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Seller specifically recognizes that any breach of Sections 9.1,
9.2 and 9.3 by Seller will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser,
and Purchaser specifically recognizes that any breach of Section
9.1 by Purchaser will cause irreparable injury to Seller and that
both parties recognize that in any such event

actual damages may be difficult to ascertain, and in any event,
may be inadequate. Accordingly (and without limiting the
availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive,
remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement), Seller
and Purchaser agree that in the event of any such breach, in
addition to such other legal and equitable remedies, injunctive
relief may be available. Seller and Purchaser recognize that the
absence of time limitations in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 is reasonable
and properly required for the protection of Seller and Purchaser,
and in the event that the absence of such limitation is deemed to
be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties
agree and submit to the imposition of such a limitation as said
court shall deem reasonable.

9.7 INDEMNIFICATION AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

a. INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER Subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement,
the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser,
its partners and subsidiaries, and their respective
officers and directors (as hereinafter defined)
(collectively, for purposes of this Section 9.7(a),
referred to

as "PURCHASER") harmless from and against any claims,
losses, liability, obligations, lawsuits, deficiencies,
damages or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and all reasonable amounts paid in defense or settlement
of the foregoing (but net of any tax benefit derived by
any of the foregoing and net of any off-setting recoveries
or related proceeds received from insurance or similar
arrangements from third parties) (hereinafter referred to
as "LOSSES"), suffered or incurred as a result of (i) the
occurrence of any litigation identified in Schedule 10.12;
(ii) breach of any obligation, representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made in this Agreement; (iii) any of
the Excluded Liabilities and/or (iv) the operation, use or
occupancy of the Assets by Seller or Seller's
predecessors-in-interest on or before the Closing Date
which obligation is not part of the Designated
Liabilities. All statements contained in this Agreement or
any schedule or exhibit hereto or certificate delivered by
or on behalf of Seller pursuant hereto shall be deemed
representations and warranties of Seller. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Seller shall be liable to Purchaser

hereunder only if and to the extent the amount of Losses
exceeds in aggregate $10,000 with respect to Casino Assets
or exceeds in the aggregate $10,000 with respect to Hotel
Assets; provided that Seller's aggregate liability under
this provision with respect to the Casino Assets shall not
exceed the amount of the total debt assumed by Purchaser
from Seller under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 and the cash
paid pursuant to Section 4.1 or with respect to the Hotel
Assets shall not exceed $3,200,000; provided, further, in
the event of any breach of any of the representations and
warranties in Section 10.1(i) during the first five (5)
years after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall receive as
its sole remedy damages equal to the lesser of (a) the
aggregate of the sum of present value (using a discount
rate of 11%) of increased payments required to cure the
disturbance of the moorage and/or occupancy of the Casino
at its present location and to continue such moorage and
occupancy and all reasonable expenses incurred by
Purchaser in connection with such breach, or (b) the
following amounts: $600,000.00 if the breach occurs in the
first year following the Closing Date; $480,000.00 if the
breach occurs in the second year following the

Closing Date; $360,000.00 if the breach occurs in the
third year following the Closing Date; $240,000.00 if the
breach occurs in the fourth year following the Closing
Date; and $120,000.00 if the breach occurs in the fifth
year following the Closing Date. Nothing herein shall be
construed to require indemnification by Seller for any
federal or state income taxes, or any interest or
penalties incurred thereon, payable by the Purchaser as a
result of any federal, state or local taxing authority
challenging the valuation of assets or the treatment for
tax purposes of any payment of fees or expenses.

b. SURVIVAL PERIODS AS TO SELLER Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, the representations, warranties,
covenants, and agreements made by the Seller in this

months after Closing Date or (b) July 31, 1999; provided,
however,that the representations and warranties set forth

Closing Date or (b) January 31, 2003.

c. INDEMNIFICATION OF SELLER AND ITS PARENT (i) Subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to

Section 9.7(c), referred to as the "SELLER") harmless from
and against any losses, liability, obligations, lawsuits,
damages, or expenses including (without limitation)
reasonable legal cost and attorney's fees (but net of any
offsetting recoveries for related proceeds received from
insurance or similar arrangements with third parties)
(hereinafter referred to as "LOSSES") suffered or incurred
by Seller as a result of the occurrence of any breach of
any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the
operation, use or occupancy of the Assets by Purchaser or
Purchaser's successors-in-interest to the Assets from and
after the Closing Date (and not arising from acts or
omissions by Seller or its predecessors prior to closing).
All

statements contained in this Agreement or any schedule
or exhibit hereto or certificate delivered by or on behalf
of Purchaser pursuant hereto shall be deemed
representations and warranties of Purchaser.

d. SURVIVAL PERIODS AS TO PURCHASER Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the representations,
warranties, covenants, and agreements made by the
Purchaser in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule
hereto or certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall

shall not merge into the documents delivered at Closing.
The covenant to indemnify Seller for losses suffered or
incurred by Seller as a result of the operation, use, or
occupancy of assets by Purchaser or Purchaser's
successors-in-interest to the Assets (and not arising from
acts or omissions by Seller or its predecessors on or
prior to closing) from and after the Closing Date shall be
enforceable until expiration of five (5) years after
Closing Date, or such longer period for any agreements
which were assigned and assumed by Purchaser and for which
the Seller or any of its affiliates remain liable. All
other representations, warranties, covenants, and
agreements made by Purchaser shall

be enforceable for a period to expire on the later of (a)
expiration of eighteen (18) months after Closing Date or

(e) PROCEDURE FOR CLAIMED RELIEF

(i) NOTICE OF CLAIMS If at any time, or from time to time,
the party to be indemnified under Sections 9.7(a) or
9.7(c) (hereinafter referred to as the "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") shall receive notice of or become aware of any
claim or liability which results or could result in a
Loss, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice
(hereinafter referred to as a "NOTICE OF CLAIM") to the
appropriate party to provide the indemnification under
this Section 9.7(a) or 9.7(c), as appropriate (hereinafter
referred to as the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), (a) within
thirty (30) days of the discovery of such potential or
actual Loss in the event the Indemnified Party has
received formal written notice of a third party claim, or
(b) otherwise within forty-five (45) days of the discovery
of such potential or actual Loss. Provided, the failure of
the Indemnified Party to give the 45-day notice of any
claim shall not release, waive, or otherwise affect the
Indemnifying Party's obligations with respect thereto

except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can
demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such
failure; provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be
relieved of any indemnification obligation whatsoever
under Section 9.7(a) and Section 9.7(c) respecting claims
for which the Indemnified Party has failed to provide
notice prior to the expiration of the applicable survival
period as set forth in Section 9.7(b) or Section 9.7(d),
as the case may be. A Notice of Claim shall set forth (a)
a brief description of the nature of the potential or
actual Loss, (b) a copy of all information and documents
relating thereto, (c) an estimate of the total amount of
Loss anticipated (including any costs or expenses which
have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection
therewith). With regard to third party claims as described
in Section 9.7(e)(iii), the Indemnified Party shall submit
a copy of the pleading asserting any such claim as its
Notice of Claim or, if no pleadings have been filed, the
form of notice shall contain the information as set forth
above. The providing of a Notice of Claim within the
applicable survival period as set forth in Section 9.7(b)
and Section 9.7(d), as the case may be, tolls the survival
period as to the

claim described in the Notice of Claim, subject to the
requirements set forth in Section 9.7(e)(ii).

(ii) DISPUTE WITH RESPECT TO NOTICE OF CLAIM If the
Indemnifying Party rejects any Loss as to which a Notice
of Claim is received from an Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall give written notice of such
rejection to such Indemnified Party within thirty (30)
days after the date of the Notice of Claim. Such written
notice shall set forth the grounds upon which the
Indemnifying Party bases its rejection of Loss. If no such
rejection of a Notice of Claim shall be sent within such
30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
acknowledge the correctness of such claim for up to the
full amount thereof. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party shall have made timely rejection of any such claim
of an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party and
such Indemnified Party shall have failed to resolve or
compromise such claim within 60 days from the date the
Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such
rejection, then the Indemnified Party must, within 90 days
after such 60 day period, commence legal proceedings
against the Indemnifying Party, provided that, in any
event,

suit must be brought within 6 months of the assertion of
the claim. Within sixty (60) days after the Indemnifying
Party's liability to an Indemnified Party for a Loss is
finally determined (a "final determination") in such legal
proceedings by a final nonappealable judgment or by
written agreement of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy
the Loss or its portion thereof as applicable by paying
cash or other immediately available funds to such
Indemnified Party.

(iii) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS With respect to any claims or
demands by third parties, whenever the Indemnified Party
shall have notice that a third party claim or demand has
been asserted or threatened which, if true, would
constitute a basis for indemnification hereunder, the
Indemnified Party shall notify the appropriate
Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and of the
facts within the knowledge of the Indemnified Party which
relate thereto by a Notice of Claim in accordance with
Section 9.7(e)(i) above, and such Notice of Claim shall
specifically state that the claim is a third party claim.
The Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to
contest, negotiate or settle any such claim or demand
through counsel of the Indem-

nifying Party's selection, reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, and solely at the Indemnifying Party's
own cost, risk and expense; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) settle, compromise or
offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on
a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent
order, injunction or decree which would restrict the
future activity or conduct of Purchaser's business by the
Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party should fail to give written notice to the
Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party's intention to
contest or settle any such claim or demand within twenty
(20) days after the Indemnified Party has notified the
Indemnifying Party that any such claim or demand has been
asserted or threatened, the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to satisfy and discharge the same by payment,
compromise or otherwise, and the Indemnifying Party shall
be entirely liable therefor to the Indemnified Party under
this indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in
the event the Indemnifying

Party disputes the Notice of Claim sent pursuant to
Section 9.7(e)(i) or (iii), then the Indemnified Party
shall not, without such Indemnifying Party's written
consent settle or compromise such claim or consent to the
entry of a judgment in respect thereto. The Indemnified
Party may also, if it so elects and entirely within its
own discretion, defend any such claim or demand in the
event the Indemnifying Party fails to give notice of its
intention to contest or settle any such claim or demand or
to contest the Notice of Claim as provided in Section
9.7(e)(ii), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be
required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and
all Losses which it may sustain, suffer, incur or become
subject to as a result of its decision to defend any such
claim or demand.

f. RIGHT TO OFFSET In the event that the Seller fails to pay
any Loss adjudicated to be due against the Seller pursuant
to the procedure set forth in Section 9.7(e) within thirty
(30) days after the final determination, subject to the
terms of this subsection (f), Purchaser shall have the
right, at its option, to enforce any such claim for
recovery by exercising its rights under the Pledge of
Partnership Interest pursuant to

which Seller's Partnership Interest in Purchaser described
in Section 4.3 shall serve as collateral for any Loss
adjudicated to be due the Purchaser as aforesaid. Any
amount of Loss in excess of the value of the limited
partnership interest when applied against it shall be due
and payable in cash or immediately available funds from
Seller. Provided, however, Purchaser shall give Seller
written notice of its intent to enforce such liability
against the Pledge of Partnership Interest and Seller
shall have thirty (30) days to pay the amount to be
collected by the exercise of Purchaser's rights under the
Pledge of Partnership Interest, in which case Purchaser's
right to collect the amount by exercise of its rights
under the Pledge of Partnership Interest shall be reduced
by the amount thus paid.

all debts, liabilities and obligations, including, without
limitation, sales taxes, employee salaries and benefits, and

other third parties, which constitute a lien on any of the Assets
as of the Closing Date or which if not paid would result in the

in the aggregate.

10.5 NO OTHER CONTRACTS

non-compliance for purposes of this Section.

10.11 HOTEL MARKETING

action, litigation, government investigation, condemnation
proceeding, claim, eminent domain proceeding, or any other
proceeding is pending or, to the best of Seller's knowledge,
contemplated as to Seller or all or part of the Assets which is
not covered by insurance or which if adversely determined would
impose a lien on any of the Assets or would result in a consent
order, injunction or decree which would require that a payment be
made or would restrict the future conduct of the Casino business
by Purchaser at the Casino Barge in its present location in
Greenville, Mississippi.

10.13 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

To the best of Seller's knowledge, neither Seller nor any of its
predecessors-in-interest has allowed any Hazardous Substances to
discharge or accumulate in violation of any applicable
environmental law, rule, or regulation on the Casino Barge or the
Boarding Barge, at the Greenville, Mississippi, waterfront or at
other real estate sites owned, licensed or leased by Seller

in Greenville, Mississippi, or at the site of the Hotel (except
as previously disclosed in writing to Purchaser and remediated by
Seller at the site of the Hotel in accordance with applicable
environmental laws, rules, and regulations). To the best of
Seller's knowledge, no material violations of environmental laws
and regulations exist with respect to the Assets and no notices
of such alleged violations have been received by Seller.
"Hazardous Substances" shall mean any dangerous, toxic or
hazardous substance defined as hazardous or as a pollutant or
contaminant in, or the release or disposal of which is regulated
by, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980; the Super Fund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986; the Federal Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1986; the Clean Water Act; the Clean Air Act;
or the Toxic Substances Control Act; or any other applicable
federal or state law. The representations and warranties in this
Section 10.13 do not cover the three properties to which Seller
holds options under that certain Real Estate Option dated October
26, 1995, from Deer Creek & Black Bayou Steam Navigation and
Transportation Company, Inc., and that certain Lease and Option

12.1 RIGHT TO TERMINATE

Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any
time prior to the Closing Date and Hotel Closing Date,
respectively, by prompt notice given in accordance with Section
18:

a. by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and

Seller; or

b. by either of such parties by written notice given in
accordance with Section 18 if the closing of the purchase
of the Casino Assets shall not have occurred on the
earlier of (a) five (5) business days after all conditions
precedent stated in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 are fulfilled or
(b) January 31, 1998, provided, however, the foregoing
notwithstanding, if the "SEC" has not approved the form of
the proxy statement for the meeting of Seller's parent's
shareholders to consider approval of this transaction on
or before January 6, 1998, the date of January 31, 1998,
shall be extended to the earlier of (a) the twenty-fifth
(25th) day after SEC approval of such proxy statement or
(b) February 25, 1998 (or on such later date on which
Seller and Purchaser may hereafter mutually agree in
writing to be the Closing Date, neither party being
obligated to agree to such an extension); provided
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under
this Section 12.1(b) shall not be available to any party
whose failure to fulfill any material obligation for which
such party has responsibility under this Agreement has
been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the
closing to occur on

or prior to the aforesaid dates.

12.2 REMEDIES

a. PURCHASER'S REMEDIES The provisions of Section 12.1(b)
notwithstanding, in the event of a material breach of this
Agreement by Seller, and/or if all conditions precedent to
Seller's obligation to close the purchase of Casino Assets
as set forth in Section 8.1 are satisfied on the Closing
Date, or if all conditions precedent to Seller's
obligation to close the purchase of the Hotel Assets are
satisfied on the Hotel Closing Date, and Seller fails to
close in accordance with this Agreement, the Purchaser
shall not be limited to the remedy of termination of this
Agreement, but shall be entitled to pursue monetary
damages up to the amount of the Subordinated Debt and/or
specific performance of this Agreement. Provided, however,
the Purchaser shall not execute on any monetary judgment
obtained by it against the Seller (except one obtained in
connection with Seller's obligations under Section 4.6(a)
and/or (b)) pursuant to the foregoing until Seller has
paid the Principal Loan and Subordinated Note in full or
it has otherwise been satisfied or assigned.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
closing does not occur due to (i) the failure of Seller
and/or Seller's parent, Alpha Hospitality Corporation, to
obtain on or before the Closing Date, the approval of the
transaction contemplated herein by their respective
shareholders provided in Section 8.2(e); (ii) Seller, its
parent or any other subsidiary of its parent are the
subject of bankruptcy proceedings; or (iii) the Seller
fails to deliver the Casino Assets as provided in Section
5.1 of the Agreement then, in such event, Purchaser shall
be immediately entitled to damages in the amount of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in addition to all other
damages and remedies provided for in this Section. In
addition to the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be entitled
to recover all of its reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in pursuing either of these remedies (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees).

b. SELLER'S REMEDIES The provisions of Section 12.1(b)
notwithstanding, in the event of a material breach of this
Agreement by Purchaser, and/or if all conditions precedent
to Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase of Casino
Assets as set forth in Section 8.2 are satisfied on the

Closing Date, or if all conditions precedent to
Purchaser's obligation to close the purchase of the Hotel
Assets are satisfied on the Hotel Closing Date, and
Purchaser fails to close in accordance with this
Agreement, the Seller shall not be limited to the remedy
of termination of this Agreement, but shall be entitled to
pursue monetary damages up to the amount of the
Subordinated Debt and/or specific performance of this
Agreement and shall be entitled to recover all of its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing either
of these remedies (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees). Provided, however, the Seller
shall not execute on any monetary judgment obtained by it
pursuant to the foregoing until the Purchaser has paid the
indebtedness from the Lender evidenced by (i) the senior
secured note to the Lender in the amount of $17,200,000.00
and the subordinated secured note in the amount of
$3,621,000.00 executed in the financing transaction
described in Section 8.1(e) and Section 8.2(t), or (ii)
the senior secured note to the Lender in the amount of
$36,200,000.00 and the subordinated secured note to the
Lender in the amount of $8,500,000.00 in the event the
amended and restated loan agreement described in

Section 8.2(t) is consummated. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the closing of the sale and
purchase of the Casino Assets occurs, and all of the
conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close
the purchase of the Hotel Assets are satisfied on the
Hotel Closing Date and Purchaser fails to close such
Purchase in accordance with this Agreement, the Seller
shall be entitled to pursue specific performance of this
Agreement and shall be entitled to recover all of its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing this
remedy (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees).

c. Subordination of Termination Payments. All amounts, if
any, payable by (i) Seller to Purchaser pursuant to
Section 12.2 (a) hereof, except those described in Section
4.6(a) and (b) and except for the one million dollar
payment described in Section 12.2(a), shall be evidenced
by a non-interest bearing promissory note issued by Seller
to Purchaser (the "SELLER TERMINATION NOTE") which shall
be fully subordinated to all obligations owing to Lender
from Seller, if any, or (ii) Purchaser to Seller pursuant
to Section 12.2(b) hereof shall be evidenced by a
non-interest bearing promissory note issued by

Purchaser to Seller (the "PURCHASER TERMINATION NOTE")
which shall be fully subordinated to all obligations owing
to Lender from Purchaser. As long as Seller owes any
obligations to Lender, the holder of the Seller
Termination Note shall be prohibited from receiving
payments, declaring an event of default or otherwise
accelerating the amounts payable thereunder and as long as
Purchaser owes any obligations to Lender, the holder of
the Purchaser Termination Note shall be prohibited from
receiving payments, declaring an event of default or
otherwise accelerating the amounts payable thereunder.

13. LEGAL COMPLIANCE:

Seller and Purchaser agree that Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial
Code--Bulk Transfer has been repealed in Mississippi and, accordingly,
no action to comply with Bulk Sales laws will be taken.

14. RISK OF LOSS:

Seller shall fully assume the risk of any loss by fire or other casualty
that affects any of the Casino Assets or Hotel Assets up to the time of
Closing Date (as to Casino Assets) and the Hotel Closing Date (as to the
Hotel Assets). Seller shall, at its expense, keep the Casino Asset
insured until the time of the Closing Date and the Hotel Assets insured

until Hotel Closing Date against any loss from fire or other casualty in
an amount equal to the replacement value of such Assets. If before the
transfer of Assets on the Closing Date and Hotel Closing Date, as
applicable, any loss by fire or other casualty affects some or all of
the Assets, Purchaser may choose either of the following alternatives:

a. If the casualty damages or destroys the Casino Assets to
the extent of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or more
of their replacement cost and/or so damages the Casino
Barge as to render it not commercially usable for a period
of twenty (20) days or more, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement. In that event, Purchaser shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement. If the casualty damages
or destroys the Hotel Assets to the extent of Seven
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00) or more of their
replacement cost and/or so damages the Hotel as to delay
its substantial completion or opening for a period not to
exceed the shorter of thirty (30) days from February 6,
1998, or such period as the Mississippi Gaming Commission
allows Seller to complete the Casino Hotel in satisfaction
of "infrastructure" requirements under orders and
requirements issued by the Mississippi Gaming Commission
to proceed

with closing, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement with respect to the Hotel Assets.

b. If a casualty loss occurs in an amount or duration less
than the applicable amount or duration set forth in
Section 14.1(a) or, if notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 14.1(a), in the event of casualty loss covered by
Section 14.1(a), Purchaser chooses to go forward with the
purchase of the Casino Assets or the Hotel Assets, as
applicable, all insurance proceeds paid as a result of the
loss affecting the Assets (except for business
interruption insurance) shall be used to pay the expenses
of repairing, replacing, and restoring the Casino Assets
or Hotel Assets as applicable affected by the loss, and
any such expenses not covered by the insurance proceeds
shall be borne by Seller, with the Closing Date or Hotel
Closing Date extended until such repairs are completed. If
the repair, replacement, and restoration of the Casino
Assets or Hotel Assets has not been completed by the time
scheduled for the Closing Date or Hotel Closing Date, as
applicable, and nonetheless the parties mutually agree to
proceed with closing, further repair work shall be
completed by Purchaser at Seller's expense and any
insurance proceeds paid as a

result of the loss shall be held in trust for that
purpose.

15. TIME OF ESSENCE:

The parties agree that as to performance under this Agreement, time
shall be of the essence.

16. GOVERNING LAW:

The Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of
Mississippi, without regard to conflicts of law rules.

17. GUARANTY OF ALPHA HOSPITALITY CORPORATION:
