Lessor desires to lease to Lessee, and Lessee desires to lease
from Lessor in accordance with the terms and conditions contained
herein, certain equipment more fully described in the Lease
Schedule or Schedules, referred to herein as a "Lease Schedule,"
as may from time to time be executed by Lessee. All equipment
described in such Lease Schedules shall be collectively referred
to as the "Equipment" and individually referred to as a "Unit"
and is to be installed in and to be used in connection with the
business location described in a particular Lease Schedule
("Premises").
NOW THEREFORE, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
1. LEASE. This Lease establishes the general terms and
conditions by which Lessor shall lease the Equipment to Lessee.
Each Lease Schedule shall be in the form provided by Lessor and
shall incorporate by reference the terms of this Lease.
2. TERM: RENT AND PAYMENT.
2.1 TERM. The term of this Lease shall commence on the date
set forth in each Lease Schedule (the "Commencement Date") and
continue as specified in such Lease Schedule ("Term").
2.2 RENT AND PAYMENT. Lessee's obligation to pay rent for
the Equipment shall commence on the Commencement Date and
continue for the Term. The Basic Rent set forth on the Lease
Schedule shall be payable on the Commencement Date and on the
same day of each month thereafter ("Rent Date"). Any amounts
payable by Lessee, other than Basic Rent, shall be deemed
Additional Charges and shall be payable on the Rent Date next
following the date upon which they accrue or the last day of the
Term, whichever is earlier. Lessee shall make all payments at
the address of Lessor set forth above or at such other address as
Lessor may designate in writing. As used herein, the term "Rent"
shall mean all Basic Rent and Additional Charges.
2.3 LATE CHARGE. If any Rent is not received by Lessor or
its assignees within ten (10) days of when due, a late charge on
such Rent shall be due and payable with such Rent in an amount
equal to four percent (4%) of the amount past due or any part
thereof, as reimbursement for administrative costs and not as a
penalty.
2.4 LESSOR'S PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee
fails to comply with any of its covenants or obligations herein,
Lessor may, at its option, perform such covenants or obligations
on Lessee's behalf without thereby waiving such conditions or
obligations or the failure to comply therewith and all sums
advanced by Lessor in connection therewith shall be repayable by
Lessee as Additional Charges. No such performance shall be
deemed to relieve Lessee of its obligations herein.
3. CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a
certificate of delivery, installation and acceptance
("Certificate of Acceptance") in the form provided by the Lessor.
4. NET LEASE. This Lease including each Lease Schedule is a net
lease and Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent due and the rights
of Lessor or its assignees in, and to, such Rent shall be
absolute and unconditional under all circumstances,
notwithstanding: (i) any setoff, abatement, reduction,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may
have against Lessor, its assignees, the manufacturer or seller of
any Unit, or any other person for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, any breach by Lessor of this
Lease; (ii) any defect
in title, condition, operation, fitness for use, or any damage to
or destruction of, the Equipment; (iii) any interruption or
cessation of use or possession of the Equipment for any reason
whatsoever; or (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceedings instituted by or against Lessee.
5. LOCATION: USE: MAINTENANCE; IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION.
5.1 LOCATION, USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. (a) Lessee shall
keep and use the Equipment on the Premises and shall not relocate
or remove any Unit unless Lessor consents, in writing, prior to
its relocation or removal. (b) Lessee shall at all times and, at
its sole cost and expense, properly use and maintain the
Equipment in good operating condition, other than the normal wear
and tear, and make all necessary repairs, alterations and
replacements thereto (collectively, "Repairs"), all of which
shall immediately become the property of Lessor and subject to
this Lease. Lessee shall comply with manufacturer instructions
relating to the Equipment, and any applicable laws and
governmental regulations. (c) Lessee shall pay all costs and
expenses associated with removal and return of the Equipment.
5.2 IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION. Upon request by Lessor,
Lessee shall xxxx each Unit conspicuously with appropriate
labels or tags furnished by Lessor and maintain such markings
through the Term to clearly disclose that said Unit is being
leased from Lessor. Subject to Lessee's reasonable security
requirements, Lessee shall permit Lessor's representatives to
enter the Premises where any Unit is located to inspect such
Unit.
6. LOCATION: LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES.
6.1 PERSONAL PROPERTY. Each Unit is personal property and
Lessee shall not affix any Unit to realty so as to change its
nature to a fixture or real property and agrees that each Unit
shall remain personal property during the Term. LESSOR EXPRESSLY
RETAINS OWNERSHIP AND TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT. LESSEE HEREBY
AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF LESSOR'S
OBLIGATIONS AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE GAMING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
REGARDING MAINTENANCE, USE, POSSESSION AND OPERATION OF THE
EQUIPMENT. Lessee hereby authorizes, empowers, and grants a
limited power of attorney to Lessor to record and/or execute and
file, on Lessee's behalf, any certificates, memorandums,
statements, refiling, and continuations thereof as Lessor deems
reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve and protect its
interest hereunder. The parties intend to create a lease
agreement and the relationship of lessor and lessee between
themselves. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed or
interpreted to create or imply the existence of a finance lease
or installment lease contract. Lessor makes no representation
regarding the treatment of this Lease, the Equipment or the
payment of obligations under this Lease for financial statement
reporting or tax purposes.
6.2 LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. Unless otherwise provided
herein, Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur or
suffer a mortgage, claim, lien, charge, encumbrance or the legal
process of a creditor of Lessee of any kind upon or against this
Lease or any Unit. Lessee shall at all times protect and defend,
at its own cost and expense, the title of Lessor from and against
such mortgages, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and legal
processes of creditors of Lessee and shall keep all the Equipment
free and clear from all such claims, liens and legal processes.
If any such lien or encumbrance is incurred, Lessee shall
immediately notify Lessor and shall take all actions required by
Lessor to remove the same.
7. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT.
7.1 DUTY OF RETURN. At the expiration of the Term or upon
termination of the Lease, Lessee at its expense shall return each
Unit to Lessor or its designee at the destination specified by
Lessor, in accordance with appropriate gaming laws and
regulations. Each Unit shall conform to all of the
manufacturer's specifications and gaming laws and regulations
with respect to normal function, capability, design and condition
(less normal wear and tear).
7.2 FAILURE TO RETURN. If Lessee fails to return the
Equipment or any portion thereof, as provided above, within
fourteen (14) days following expiration of the term or
termination of the Lease, then Lessee shall pay to
2
Lessor an additional month's Rent for each month, or any
portion thereof, that Lessee fails to comply with the terms of
this return provision, until all of the Equipment is returned, as
provided herein.
8. RISK OF LOSS: INSURANCE.
8.1 RISK OF LOSS. Lessee shall bear the risk of all loss
or damage to any Unit or caused by any Unit during the period
from the time the Unit is shipped by its vendor until the time it
is returned as provided herein.
8.2 UNIT REPLACEMENT. If any Unit is lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized by governmental action or, in Lessee's opinion
or Lessor's opinion, damaged ("Event of Loss"), this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect without abatement of Rent and
Lessee shall promptly replace such Unit at its sole expense with
a Unit of equivalent value and utility, and similar kind and in
substantially the same condition as the replaced Unit immediately
prior to the Event of Loss. Title to such replacement unit
immediately shall vest and remain in Lessor, and such unit shall
be deemed a Unit under this Lease. Upon such vesting of title
and provided Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessor
shall cause to be paid to Lessee or the vendor of the replacement
unit any insurance proceeds actually received by Lessor for the
replacement Unit. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of any
Event of Loss and shall provide Lessor with and shall enter into,
execute and deliver such documentation as Lessor shall request
with respect to the replacement of any such Unit.
8.3 INSURANCE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain in full
force and effect all risk, full replacement cost property damage
insurance on the Premises: (i) comprehensive personal liability,
(ii) all risk property damage on the Equipment in amounts
reasonably acceptable to Lessor, (iii) workers compensation
insurance and (iv) marine insurance. Such insurance shall: (i)
name Lessor and its Assignees, if any, as additional insureds and
first loss payees as their interests may appear; and (ii) provide
that the policy may not be canceled or materially altered without
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor and its
Assignees. All such insurance shall be placed with companies
having a rating of at least A, Class XII or better by Best's
rating service. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, upon request and
throughout the Term, insurance certificates of a kind
satisfactory to Lessor and its Assignees showing the existence of
the insurance required hereunder and premium paid.
9. LESSOR'S PURCHASE AND PERFORMANCE. Upon receipt of a Lease
Schedule executed and delivered by Lessee, Lessee shall bear all
responsibilities and perform all obligations of Lessor thereunder
other than payment of the purchase price.
10. TAXES.
10.1 TAXES. Lessee agrees to report, file, pay promptly
when due to the appropriate taxing authority and indemnify,
defend, and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all
taxes (including gross receipts), assessments, license fees and
other federal, state or local governmental charges of any kind or
nature, together with any penalties, interest or fines related
thereto (collectively, "Taxes") that pertain to the Equipment,
its purchase, or this Lease, except such Taxes based solely upon
the net income of Lessor.
10.2 LESSOR'S FILING OF TAXES. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessor at its election may report and file sales
and/or use taxes which are filed and paid periodically through
the Term, and the amounts so due may be invoiced to Lessee and
payable as specified therein.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. Except for the negligence of Lessor, its
employees or agents and assigns, Lessee hereby assumes liability
for and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold
harmless the Lessor, its agents, employees, directors and
assignees from and against any and all losses, damages, injuries,
claims, penalties, demands and all expenses, legal or otherwise
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) of whatever kind and
nature arising from the purchase, ownership, use, condition,
operation or maintenance of the Equipment, until the Equipment is
returned to Lessor. Any claim, defense, setoff, or other right
of Lessee against any such indemnified party shall not in any way
affect, limit, or diminish Lessee's indemnity obligations
hereunder. Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately as to any
claim, suit, action, damage, or injury related to the Equipment
of which Lessee has
3
actual or other notice and shall, at its own cost and expense,
defend any and all suits which may be brought against Lessor,
shall satisfy, pay and discharge any and all judgments and fines
that may be recovered against Lessor in any such action or
actions, provided, however, that Lessor shall give Lessee written
notice of any such claim or demand. Lessee agrees that its
obligations under this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee represents and
warrants to Lessor that: i) the making of this Lease and any
Lease Schedule executed by Lessee is duly authorized on the part
of Lessee and that upon due execution thereof by Lessee and
Lessor they shall constitute valid obligations binding upon, and
enforceable against, Lessee in accordance with their terms; ii)
neither the making of this Lease or such Lease Schedule, nor the
due performance by Lessee, including the commitment and payment
of the Rent, shall result in any breach of, or constitute a
default under, or violation of, Lessee's articles of
incorporation, by-laws, or any agreement to which Lessee is a
party or by which Lessee is bound; iii) no approval or consent
not already obtained or withholding of objection is required from
any governmental authority with respect to the entering into, or

THAT EACH UNIT IS OF THE DESIGN, CAPACITY AND MANUFACTURE
SPECIFIED FOR AND BY THE LESSEE AND THAT LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT
THE SAME IS SUITABLE FOR LESSEE'S PURPOSES. LESSEE AGREES,
REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST
LESSOR FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
LESSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO
THE EQUIPMENT WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing it is intended by the parties to

fitness for particular purposes. NO SALESMAN OR AGENT OF LESSOR
IS AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERM OF THIS LEASE OR MAKE
ANY REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE EQUIPMENT.
14. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE.
14.1 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. Lessee acknowledges and agrees
that Lessor may assign, mortgage, or otherwise transfer its
interest thereunder and/or in the Equipment to others
("Assignees") without consent of Lessee, provided however that
Lessee and the Indiana Gaming Commission ("Control Board") shall
be notified of any assignment. Accordingly, Lessee and Lessor
agree that upon such assignment, Lessee (i) shall acknowledge
such assignment in writing by executing a Notice, Consent and
Acknowledgment of Assignment furnished by Lessor; (ii) shall
promptly pay all Rent when due to the designated Assignees,
notwithstanding any defense, setoff, abatement, recoupment,
reduction or counterclaim whatsoever that Lessee may have against
Lessor; (iii) shall not permit the Lease or Lease Schedule so
assigned to be amended or the terms thereof waived without the
prior written consent of the Assignees; (iv) shall not require
the Assignees to perform any obligations of Lessor under such

March 28, 1996 (the "Indenture"). The financial covenants of
Section 4.07 of the Indenture are incorporated herein by
reference.
15.3 LEASE AGREEMENT. If any court of competent jurisdiction
should determine that this Lease constitutes a security

meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and that the Lessor shall
be considered a secured party under the provisions thereof and
shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a secured
party and Lessee, as debtor, grants to Lessor, as secured party,

event of default is not cured within thirty (30) days, or in the
event of a non-monetary default, within such reasonable period of
time as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto; or (k) any
change in control of the Lessee or its business.
16.2 LESSOR REMEDIES. Lessee acknowledges that the
enforcement of this Lease requires approval of the Control Board
and/or the Indiana Gaming Commission ("the Commission") and that
copies of all Default Notices, legal proceedings, etc. will be
forwarded to the appropriate agency as required by state law,
regulation or upon request of the Control Board or the
Commission. Lessee further acknowledges that upon any Event of

proceed by appropriate court action or other proceeding, either
at law or in equity to enforce performance by Lessee of any and

terminate any of Lessee's rights under this Lease or Schedule in
which event Lessee shall immediately surrender and return the
Equipment to Lessor pursuant to the provisions hereof; and (iv)
subject to appropriate Gaming Laws, rules, laws and regulations,
and required approvals, take possession, sell and/or re-lease any
Unit as Lessor may desire, in its sole discretion.

attorneys' fees) incurred by Lessor and its
5
Assignees as a result of enforcing any terms or conditions of the
Lease or any Schedules. A termination hereunder shall occur only
upon written notice by Lessor to Lessee and no repossession or
other act by Lessor after default shall relieve Lessee from any
of its obligations to Lessor hereunder unless Lessor so notifies
Lessee in writing.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.
17.1 NOTICES. Except as otherwise required by law, all
notices required herein shall be in writing and sent by prepaid

right or remedy herein provided or otherwise available to Lessor,
or prior course of conduct, shall impair or diminish Lessor's
rights to exercise the same or any other right of Lessor; nor
shall any obligation of Lessee hereunder be deemed waived. The
acceptance of rent by Lessor after it is due shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any breach by Lessee of its obligations under
this Lease or any Lease Schedule.
17.7 SUCCESSORS. This Lease and each Lease Schedule shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Lessor and Lessee and
their respective successors in interest.

validity and enforceability of the remaining provision thereof
shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

National Association ("Firstar"), as mortgagee. Under the terms
of said mortgage, no owner, operator, charterer, cargo owner,
subcharterer or the master of this Vessel, or any other person or
entity, has the right, power or authority to create, incur or
permit to exist on this Vessel any lien whatsoever other than
liens for crew's wages from the current voyage and salvage or
otherwise permitted by such mortgage. Firstar has consented to
this Mortgage pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.
Shipowner shall change at Shipowner's cost such notice to
reflect the identity of any successor Mortgagee.
SECTION 1.09.
(a) The Shipowner will, at its own expense, when and so
long as this Mortgage shall be outstanding, carry all necessary
insurance on and with respect to the Vessel and its operation
(and all additions, improvements and replacements made in and to
the Vessel, or any part thereof) and keep them insured, by
financially sound and reputable insurers of a character usually
insuring entities engaged in the same or similar business and
similarly situated as Shipowner, against loss or damages of all
kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by such
entities or as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably
require.
(b) If the Mortgagee takes possession of the Vessel, the
insurance policy or policies and any unearned or returned
premiums thereon shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, become
the sole property of the Mortgagee upon the Mortgagee's crediting
the amount of any unearned premium upon the obligations of the
Mortgagor secured hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this
provision shall impose upon the Mortgagee any duty to determine
the adequacy of any insurance.
(c) In the event of any insured loss which is not
greater than $100,000, the Shipowner shall have the sole right to
settle any and all losses and claims. In the event of any
insured loss in excess of $100,000, Mortgagee may but shall not
be obligated to make proof of loss if such proof of loss is not
promptly made by the Shipowner, and the payment for any such loss
shall be made by the insurer directly to Mortgagee or its
assigns.
(d) In the event the Shipowner fails to provide,
maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Mortgagee the
policies of insurance required by this Section, Mortgagee may,
after providing at least three (3) days prior written notice to
the Shipowner, procure such insurance for risks covering
Mortgagee's interest, and the Shipowner will pay all premiums
thereon promptly upon demand by Mortgagee, and until such payment
is made by the Shipowner the amount of all such premiums together
with a late charge on such amount equal to four percent (4%) of
the amount past due or any part thereof, as reimbursement for
administrative costs and not as a penalty, which amount
6
shall be secured by this Mortgage.
(e) During the continuance of (i) a taking or
requisition of the use of the Vessel by any United States
government or governmental body, or (ii) a charter of the use of
the Vessel by any United States government or governmental body,
the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been
complied with in all respects if such United States government or
governmental body shall have agreed to reimburse the Shipowner
for loss or damage resulting from the risks indicated in this
Section, or if the Shipowner shall be entitled to just
compensation therefor. In the event of any taking, requisition,
charter or loss contemplated by this Section 1.09(e), the
Shipowner shall promptly furnish to the Mortgagee a Shipowner's
Certificate stating that such taking, requisition, charter or
loss has occurred and that the United States government or
governmental body in question has agreed to reimburse the
Shipowner for loss or damage resulting from the risks indicated
in Section 1.09(a) or that the Shipowner is entitled to just
compensation therefor. All amounts received by the Shipowner
from the United States government or governmental body as a
result of any taking, requisition, charter or loss contemplated
by this Section shall be paid to Mortgagee or its assigns.
(f) The Shipowner shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Mortgagee, do any act, or voluntarily suffer or
permit any act to be done, whereby any insurance required by this
Section 1.09 shall or may be suspended, impaired or defeated, or
suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage, to carry any
cargo, or engage in any other activity not permitted under the
policies of insurance then in effect without procuring insurance
satisfactory to the Mortgagee covering the Vessel in all respects
for such voyage, the carriage of such voyage or such activity.
(g) In the event that any claim or Lien is asserted
against the Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered

right, title and interest in and to said insurance covering such

insurance shall either have attached thereto a lender's loss
payable endorsement for the benefit of Mortgagee in form
satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall name Mortgagee as an

to the Mortgagee copies of the original policies evidencing
insurance maintained under this Section, together with any
certificates covering such policies.

right of the Shipowner to receive monies upon the application of
funds in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, and shall
bar the Shipowner and its successors and assigns, and all persons
claiming by, through or under them. No purchaser shall be bound
to inquire whether notice has been given, or whether any default
has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale, or as to the
application of the proceeds thereof. In case of any such sale,
any holder of the Lease, whether by assignment or otherwise,
shall be entitled, for the purpose of making settlement or
payment for the property purchased, to use and apply the
indebtedness evidenced under the Lease in order that there may be
credited against the amount remaining due and unpaid thereon the
sums payable out of the net proceeds of such sale to such holder
after allowing for the costs and expenses of sale and other
charges; and thereupon such holder shall be credited, on account
of such purchase price, with the net proceeds that shall have
been credited upon the Lease. At any such sale, any holder under

purchase such property and upon compliance with the terms of sale
may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability therefor.
SECTION 3.04. The Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably
appointed attorney-in-fact of the Shipowner during the existence
and occurrence of an Event of Default to execute and deliver to
any purchaser aforesaid, and is hereby vested with full power and
authority to make, in the name and in behalf of the Shipowner,
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, a good conveyance of the
title to the Equipment on the Vessel and/or its component parts
so sold. In the event of the sale of the Vessel and/or its
component parts, under any power herein contained, the Shipowner
will, if and when required by the Mortgagee, execute such form of
conveyance of the Vessel and/or its component parts as the
Mortgagee may direct or approve.
SECTION 3.05.
(a) The Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed
attorney-in-fact of the Shipowner during the existence of any
Payment Default or Event of Default to demand, collect, receive,
compromise and xxx for, in the name of the Shipowner, so far as
may be permitted by law and subject only to Permitted Liens, all
freight, hire, earnings, issues, revenues (including without
limitation any gaming revenues), income and profits of the Vessel
and all amounts due from underwriters under any insurance thereon
as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage
awards and recoveries, recoveries in general average or
otherwise, and all other sums thereafter due or to become due in
respect of the Vessel, or in respect of any insurance thereon,
from any person or entity whomsoever, and to make, give and
execute in the name of the Shipowner acquittances, receipts,
releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or
otherwise, and to accept and endorse in the name of the Shipowner
all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and other
instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing, and the
Shipowner authorizes the Mortgagee to take any such action.
11
(b) If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce
any right under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as
a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Vessel
and of the freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues (excluding
any gaming revenues), income and profits due or to become due and
arising from the operation thereof.
SECTION 3.06. In the event that the Vessel shall be
arrested, attached or detained by a marshal or other officer of
any court of law, equity or admiralty jurisdiction or by any
government or other authority, the Shipowner shall within
twenty-four (24) hours thereafter notify the Mortgagee in writing
by telegram, facsimile or reputable overnight courier confirmed
by letter by First Class U.S. Mail, and shall use its best
efforts to obtain the release of the Vessel from arrest,
attachment or detention within fifteen (15) days from the date of
arrest, attachment or detention. In the event the Shipowner
shall not have obtained the release of the Vessel from arrest,
attachment or detention within fifteen (15) days from the date of
arrest, attachment or detention, the Shipowner does hereby
authorize and empower the Mortgagee, in the name of the
Shipowner, or its successors or assigns, to apply for and receive
possession of and to take possession of the Vessel with all the
rights and powers that the Shipowner, or its successors or
assigns, might have, possess or exercise in any such event; and
this power of attorney shall be irrevocable and may be exercised
not only by the Mortgagee but also by an appointee or appointees,
with full power of substitution, to the same extent as if the
said appointee or appointees had been named as one of the
attorneys above named by express designation. The Shipowner
authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of
them to appear in the name of the Shipowner, its successors and
assigns, in any court where a suit is pending against the Vessel
because or on account of any alleged Lien against the Vessel from
which the Vessel has not been released and to take such actions
and/or proceedings as the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of
them may deem proper towards the defense of such suit and the
purchase, satisfaction or discharge of such Lien, and all
expenditures to the extent reasonably made or incurred by them or
any of them for the purpose of such defense or purchase,
satisfaction or discharge shall constitute an additional
indebtedness which shall be secured by this Mortgage in like
manner and extent as if the amount and description-thereof were
written herein.
SECTION 3.07. Each and every power and remedy herein given
to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be, in addition to
every other power and remedy given herein, given to the Mortgagee
pursuant to the Lease or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity, in admiralty or by statute, and each and every power and
remedy whether herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may
be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the
beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be
construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same
time or thereafter any other power or remedy. The exercise of
any right or remedy shall not constitute an election of remedies
by Mortgagee. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the
exercise of any right or power or in the pursuit of any remedy
accruing or above provided shall impair any such right, power or
remedy. No provision of this Mortgage or the Lease shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of the preferred
status of this Mortgage given by Chapter 313 of Title 46 of the
United States Code, and any provision of this Mortgage which
would otherwise constitute such a waiver shall to such extent be
of no force and effect.
12
To the fullest extent that it may lawfully so agree, the
Shipowner covenants and agrees it shall not at any time insist
upon, claim, plead, or take the benefit or advantage of any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, or
redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent,
delay or hinder the enforcement of this Mortgage or the exercise
by the Mortgagee of any of the remedies set forth in this Article
III or the taking of possession of the Vessel by any purchaser at
any sale held pursuant to this Mortgage; and the Shipowner, for
itself and all who may claim through it, as far as it or they now
or hereafter lawfully may do so, hereby waives the benefit of all
such laws.
SECTION 3.08. In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded
to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by
foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then, and in every such
case, the Shipowner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
property subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and
all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue
as if no such proceedings had been taken.
SECTION 3.09. The gross proceeds of the sale of the Vessel
by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein specified and any
and all other monies received by the Mortgagee pursuant to or
under the terms of this Mortgage or in any proceedings hereunder,
the application of which has not elsewhere been specifically
provided for herein or in the Lease shall be held by the
Mortgagee and shall be applied as follows:
First: To the payment of all costs and expenses
incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise or
administration of its rights and remedies hereunder,
including the expenses of any sale, the expenses of any
retaking, attorneys fees, court costs, and any other
expenses or advances made or incurred by the Mortgagee
in the administration or protection of its rights or
the pursuit of its remedies hereunder;
Second: To the payment of all unpaid payments of rent
due and to become due for the entire term of the Lease
and all other sums or charges due under the terms of
the Lease, together with interest thereon, and to the
payment of all other sums secured hereby, in such order
of application as the Mortgagee may elect;
Third: To the payment of any surplus thereafter
remaining to the Shipowner, or its successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct.
In the event that the proceeds are insufficient to pay the
amounts specified in the subclauses "First" and "Second" above,
the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect the balance from the
Shipowner or any other person or entity liable therefor.
SECTION 3.10. If the Shipowner shall make default in the
observance or performance of any of the covenants, conditions or
agreements in this Mortgage on its part to be performed or
observed,
13
the Mortgagee may in its sole discretion do all acts and make all
expenditures necessary to remedy such default, including, without
limitation of the foregoing, purchase of insurance, payment of
taxes, claims and assessments, and entry upon the Vessel to make
repairs, and the Shipowner shall promptly reimburse the
Mortgagee, with interest at the rate of twelve and one-half
percent (12.5%) for any and all expenditures so made or incurred
and, until the Shipowner has so reimbursed the Mortgagee for such
expenditures, the amount thereof shall be a debt due from the
Shipowner to the Mortgagee and payment thereof shall be secured
by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the
amount and description thereof were written herein; but the
Mortgagee, though privileged so to do, shall be under no
obligation to make any such expenditures nor shall the making
thereof relieve the Shipowner of any default in that respect.
SECTION 3.11. Until an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Shipowner shall be suffered and
permitted to retain title to and possession of the Vessel.
SECTION 3.12. Mortgagee may, if it so elects, seek the
appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of the
Vessel and to enforce any of Mortgagee's remedies with respect to
such appointment without prior notice or hearing. The rights,
remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be
as ordered by the court.

Event of Default, the Shipowner agrees to pay to the Mortgagee

of
14
counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such

MORTGAGE AND THAT SUCH WAIVERS ARE KNOWINGLY MADE, WITHOUT

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT
This Intercreditor Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into
as of the 21st day of February, 1997, by and among PDS Financial
Corporation, a Minnesota corporation ("PDS"), Showboat Marina
Casino Partnership, an Indiana Partnership ("Showboat") and
Firstar Bank of Minnesota, N.A., a national banking association,
as trustee ("Firstar").
RECITALS
A. Showboat, with its partnership address at 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, upon documentation
of the Vessel (as such term is hereinafter defined), will have
purchased the M/V _________________________, Official Vessel
Number __________ (the "Vessel"). Firstar is the bond trustee
for certain financing involving Showboat and Showboat's
affiliates (the "Firstar Financing") in connection with the
purchase of the Vessel and completion of improvements thereto.
The Firstar Financing is secured by a certain Preferred Ship
Mortgage (the "Firstar Mortgage") encumbering the Vessel.
Subject to certain conditions, PDS intends to provide Showboat
with certain lease financing in connection with certain Equipment
(as such term is hereinafter defined) to be located on the Vessel
and used in connection with the gaming operations to be conducted
by Showboat on the Vessel (the "PDS Financing"). The PDS
Financing will be secured by a Preferred Ship Mortgage against
the Vessel which such lien shall attach and be limited to the
Equipment (the "PDS Mortgage").
B. The parties hereto acknowledge that the execution and
delivery of this Agreement is a condition precedent to PDS's
willingness to provide the PDS Financing to Showboat.
AGREEMENT
1. CONSENT. Firstar hereby consents to the execution and
delivery by Showboat of the PDS Mortgage.
2. DEFINITIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
set forth below:
"PDS Debt" shall mean all indebtedness and liabilities
of Showboat to PDS under, secured by or pursuant to: (a) the PDS
Financing; (b) the PDS Mortgage; (c) all fees and reimbursement
of expenses payable with respect to the PDS Mortgage; and (d) any
and all extensions, renewals, amendments and modifications with
respect to the PDS Financing and/or the PDS Mortgage.
"Equipment" shall mean all equipment described on
Attachment "A" hereto.
"Firstar Debt" shall mean all indebtedness and
liabilities of Showboat to Firstar including but not limited to
payments of principal and accrued interest under, secured by or
pursuant to: (a) the Firstar Financing; (b) the Firstar
Mortgage; (c) all fees and reimbursement of expenses payable with
respect to the Firstar Financing and/or the Firstar Mortgage; and
(d) any and all extensions, renewals, amendments and
modifications with respect to the Firstar Financing and/or the
Firstar Mortgage.
"PDS Event of Default" shall have the meaning set forth
in the PDS Mortgage.
"Firstar Event of Default" shall have the meaning set
forth in that certain Indenture dated March 28, 1996 between
Showboat, Showboat Marina Finance Corporation and Firstar.
3. PRIORITY OF LIENS.
a. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, any security interest or lien that Firstar now has or
hereafter acquires in the Equipment, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, is and shall be subordinate and inferior in
every respect to any security interest or lien in the Equipment,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, that PDS now has or
hereafter acquires under the PDS Debt. The priorities specified
herein are applicable irrespective of the time or order or
recordation of preferred ship mortgages, the attachment or
perfection of security interests, the time or order of filing of
financing statements or whether any Equipment is in the
possession of PDS, Firstar or Showboat.
b. At a foreclosure sale of the Vessel, Firstar
shall, if permitted by a court having jurisdiction of such
foreclosure proceedings, credit bid the obligations owed under
the PDS Debt, and if Firstar is the purchaser of the Vessel at a
foreclosure sale confirmed by the court having jurisdiction of
the foreclosure sale, Firstar shall hold the Equipment in trust
for PDS and shall promptly after receiving possession of the
Vessel (i) notify PDS that it has possession of the Vessel, (ii)
provide PDS access to the Vessel to remove the Equipment, and
(iii) execute and deliver to PDS any documents or instruments as
PDS may reasonably request to transfer title to the Equipment to
PDS.
c. In holding the Equipment in trust for PDS:
(i). PDS shall be obligated to insure the
Equipment against all damage, destruction, or other risk at PDS's
sole cost and expense; and
(ii). Firstar shall not incur an obligation as
bailee with respect to the condition of the Equipment unless PDS
and Firstar reach a different agreement in writing. PDS agrees
to remove the Equipment from the Vessel within 30 days following
notification from Firstar with respect to possession of the
Vessel. If PDS fails to remove the Equipment within such 30-day
period, Firstar, shall have the right to remove the Equipment and
store the same and PDS agrees to reimburse Firstar for all costs
and expenses relating to such removal and storage, plus interest
at the rate of two percent over the prime rate as published in
the Wall Street Journal, until paid.
d. If it is necessary for PDS to bid at a foreclosure
sale to protect its interests in the Equipment, then, if
permitted by a court having jurisdiction over the foreclosure
sale of the Vessel, PDS and Firstar may, but shall not be
required to, jointly credit bid the obligations owed by Showboat
under and pursuant to: (a) the PDS Debt; and (b) the Firstar
Debt, and if they are the successful purchasers of the Vessel as
a result of such credit bid, then upon confirmation of such
foreclosure sale by the court: (a) Firstar shall provide PDS
access to the Vessel to remove the Equipment which removal shall
begin within 30 days of PDS receiving notice and shall be
promptly completed; (b) Firstar shall execute and deliver any
documents or instruments as PDS may reasonably request to
transfer title to the Equipment to PDS; (c) PDS shall execute and
deliver documents or instruments to transfer title to the Vessel
without the Equipment to Firstar. The parties acknowledge and
agree that if the court having jurisdiction of the foreclosure
sale refuses to permit the joint bid pursuant to this paragraph,
each party shall have the right to bid at the foreclosure sale to
protect its
2
own interest.
e. Firstar and PDS shall not allege, institute,
assert, or in any way assist or cooperate with the allegation,
institution or assertion that the joint bid set forth in
paragraph 3.d above shall not be permitted by the court having
jurisdiction of the foreclosure sale.
4. DAMAGE TO VESSEL DURING REPOSSESSION OF EQUIPMENT. The
parties acknowledge that some items of the Equipment are attached
to the Vessel and that removal of such Equipment from the Vessel
by PDS may leave holes or disconnected conduit or other
electrical connections in the Vessel and may otherwise cause
damage to the Vessel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PDS will
use reasonable care not to damage the Vessel as a result of its
removal of the Equipment and will repair any major damage to the
Vessel that is caused as a result of the removal of the Equipment
from the Vessel. The term "major damage" shall mean any
collective damage to the Vessel caused as a result of removal of
the Equipment in excess of $5000.00 in the aggregate.
5. LEGEND; FURTHER ASSURANCES.
a. The parties shall cause each instrument or
document which now or hereafter evidences all or any portion of
the PDS Debt or the Firstar Debt to be conspicuously marked with
the following legend:
"This instrument is subject to the terms of an
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of February ____,
1997."
b. Upon request, Firstar and PDS will execute all
documents and instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or
carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT OF SHOWBOAT'S OBLIGATIONS. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall impair, as between
Showboat, PDS and Firstar, the obligations of Showboat, which
are unconditional and absolute, to pay the PDS Debt and the
Firstar Debt as and when all or any portion thereof shall
become due and payable in accordance with its terms or
prevent Firstar or PDS from exercising all of their rights,
powers and remedies provided by agreement, applicable law or
otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in
this Agreement shall impair Firstar's or PDS's rights under
any other security interest, lien or mortgage in any other
property of Showboat. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of Firstar and PDS and is not for the benefit of
Showboat, any guarantor or any other third party.
7. DOCUMENTATION OF VESSEL; FILING OF PDS MORTGAGE.
Showboat shall cause, as soon as practicable after
construction has been sufficiently completed to permit such
actions (but in no event later than five (5) business days
after title to the Vessel has been conveyed to Showboat), the
Vessel to be a newly documented United States vessel with the
United States Coast Guard, and to file and perfect the PDS
Mortgage. Showboat shall also cause, as soon as practicable
after filing of the PDS Mortgage with the United States Coast
Guard, Financing Statements to be filed with respect to the
Equipment with the Secretary of State of Indiana and the
Office of the Lake County Recorder. In no event shall the
Vessel be titled under the laws of any state, including the
State of Indiana.

8. PRIORITY OF LIENS. Firstar and PDS have or will
forthwith take preferred ship mortgages pursuant to 46 U.S.C.
Section 31322, and nothing contained in this agreement is
intended to or shall be construed or shall operate to prevent
said mortgages from constituting "preferred" mortgages as
that term is defined in 46 U.S.C. Section 31322. Upon the
execution of this Agreement, Firstar and PDS agree that any
maritime lien presently held by Firstar or PDS against the
Vessel shall not constitute a "preferred maritime lien," as
that term is defined in 46 U.S.C. Section 31303(5) and that
the preferred status of any such "preferred maritime lien,"
if any, is hereby waived as a means to insure that: (a) upon
proper filing of the PDS Mortgage with the appropriate United
States Coast Guard authorities, the PDS Mortgage shall be
senior to all liens on the Vessel but such lien shall only be
utilized to secure its interest in the Equipment; and (b)
upon proper filing of the Firstar Mortgage with the
appropriate United States Coast Guard authorities, the
Firstar Mortgage shall be senior to all liens on the Vessel
except for the PDS Mortgage; all pursuant to 46 U.S.C.
Section 31322.
9. DURATION. This Agreement is of a continuing
nature, and it shall continue in force so long as any portion
of the Firstar Debt or PDS Debt remains unpaid; provided,
however, this Agreement shall terminate at such time as the
PDS Debt is paid in full, so long as such termination or
payment does not result in or constitute a breach or
violation of this Agreement; provided, further, however, this
Agreement shall still be in effect if any payment, or any
part thereof, on any such indebtedness, obligations or
liabilities is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or
returned upon the bankruptcy of Showboat, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a conservator of Showboat, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon Firstar and PDS and their respective successors
and assigns; provided that this Agreement shall not be
assignable by Firstar and PDS except in conjunction with the
assignment of the PDS Debt or the Firstar Debt, as the case
may be, and the assumption by the assignee, in writing, of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Firstar and PDS
will provide the other parties with prompt written notice of
any assignment of the Firstar Debt or the PDS Debt,
respectively and a copy of the document whereby the assignee
shall have agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
11. GOVERNING LAW; REMEDIES. This Agreement shall in
all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, Federal Admiralty Law and to the extent not
within Admiralty jurisdiction the laws of the State of
Indiana, except for its rules relating to the conflicts of
law. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this
Agreement are unique and money damages may not provide an
adequate remedy for any breach thereof, and each party may
seek specific performance and other equitable remedies for
any breaches under this Agreement.
12. AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise
provided herein, this Agreement may be changed, modified or
waived only by a written document signed by Firstar and PDS.
No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right, power
or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver
hereunder.
13. NOTICES.

4

Any communication or notice otherwise delivered shall be
deemed to be given when answered-back if telexed, when
receipt is acknowledged if telecopied, or personally
delivered.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
the transactions contemplated hereby.
15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterparts each of which, when so executed and
