This letter is intended to implement the provisions of

shall not become an officer of Ameristar as set forth in such
section. In all other respects, the employment agreement shall
contain the material terms described in Section 6.9 of the Merger
Agreement.
Except as amended hereby, the agreements between the
parties set forth in the Merger Agreement, as amended through the
Second Amendment, shall continue in full force and effect.
To confirm your agreement with the foregoing, please
sign this letter in the place indicated below.
Very truly yours,
