prior express written consent, enter into any agreement for the taking or
conveyance in lieu thereof of the Premises and Ground Lease Property, or any
part thereof, with anyone authorized to acquire the same by eminent domain,
condemnation or like power or proceeding. Upon the occurrence of any
condemnation or taking or agreement in lieu thereof with respect to the Premises
and the Ground Lease Property, or any part thereof, the condemnation proceeds
shall be applied or disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage,
if any. In the absence thereof, all such condemantion proceeds shall be applied
by Lessor to the repair, restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the Premises
as near as practicable to the condition immediately preceding such taking and
the balance of the condemnation proceeds, if any, shall be remitted fifty (50%)
percent to Lessee and fifty (50%) percent to the lessee under the Majestic
Lease.
12. Insurance.
---------
a. Lessee shall maintain or cause to be
maintained insurance on the Premises (i) in accordance with the requirements of
the Mortgage and any loan documents related thereto, including, without
limitation, with respect to the types of insurance, providers, amounts and
deductibles, or (ii) if no Mortgage is in effect, of the following character:
(1) Broad Form Commercial General
Liability insurance, including contractual liability, with minimum limits of
liability of Twenty Million ($20,000,000) Dollars per occurrence combined single
limit of liability for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury.
Lessee shall increase these liability limits as Lessor shall reasonably require
from time to time. This insurance shall specifically include all liability
assumed hereunder by
-11-
<PAGE>
Lessee and shall provide that it is primary insurance and not excess over or
contributory with any other insurance.
(2) Such other insurance, including, but
not limited to, a "Special Perils" Builders' Risk insurance policy against loss
or damage by fire and such other hazards, including theft of construction
materials and contents from the site and "Special Perils" property insurance
policy covering the Improvements, in such amounts and against such risks, as is
required by any Mortgage Lender.
All such insurance shall be issued by companies which shall have an A.M. Best
Rating Guide Stability Rating of A- or better, and a Financial Rating of VI or
better, on forms, in amounts, and with deductibles, all of which are acceptable
to Lessor and Mortgage Lender, and shall name Lessor as an additional insured
party and include Lessee as its interest may appear.
b. Each policy required pursuant to Paragraph
12a(2) shall bear a mortgagee endorsement in favor of Mortgage Lender; and any
loss under any such policy shall be payable to Mortgage Lender to be held and
applied pursuant to the Mortgage. Every policy required by Paragraph 12a shall
provide that it will not be cancelled or amended except after thirty (30) days
written notice to Lessor and that (to the extent such provision is obtainable on
commercially reasonable terms) it shall not be invalidated by any act or
negligence of Lessor or Lessee, nor by occupancy or use of the Premises for
purposes more hazardous than permitted by such policy, nor by any foreclosure or
other proceedings relating to the Premises, nor by change in title to or
ownership of the Premises. It is understood and agreed that every policy
referred to in this Paragraph 12 may be a blanket policy covering other
locations operated by Lessee or its Affiliates, provided that such blanket
policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph.
c. Lessee shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Lessor and Mortgage Lender duplicate originals of the applicable
insurance policies or original certificates thereof, satisfactory to Lessor and
Mortgage Lender, evidencing the existence of all insurance that is required to
be maintained hereunder, such delivery to be made (i) at the time of execution
and delivery hereof and (ii) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of any such insurance evidencing renewal or replacement coverage. Lessee shall
not obtain or carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the
event of loss with that required by this Paragraph 12 unless Lessor and Mortgage
Lender are additional insureds therein, with loss payable and mortgagee
endorsements as provided herein. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor and
Mortgage Lender whenever any such separate insurance is obtained and shall
deliver to Lessor the policies or certificates evidencing the same.
13. Casualty. Neither Lessee nor Lessor shall have the
--------
right to terminate this Lease if there is a casualty. If all or any part of the
Premises and Ground Lease Property shall be damaged or destroyed there shall be
no abatement or reduction in the amounts payable by the Lessee as Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent or Additional Rent, and Lessee shall continue to be obligated
to make such payments. All insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty occurring
on the Premises shall be held for disposition in accordance with the provisions
of the Mortgage, if
-12-
<PAGE>
any. In the absence thereof, all such insurance proceeds shall be applied by
Lessor to the repair, restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the Premises as
near as practicable to the condition immediately preceding such casualty and the
balance of the casualty proceeds, if any, shall be remitted fifty (50%) percent
to Lessee and fifty (50%) percent to the lessee under the Majestic Lease.
14. Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding any other provision
------------------
of this Lease, Lessee shall not be required, nor shall Lessor have the right, to
pay, discharge or remove any tax, assessment, levy, lien or encumbrance, or to
comply with any Legal Requirements applicable to the Premises or any part
thereof or the use thereof, as long as (i) Lessee is diligently and in good
faith contesting the existence, amount or validity thereof by appropriate
proceedings; (ii) Lessee has taken such measures as are necessary to prevent
sale, forfeiture or loss of Lessor's, or a member of Lessor's, interest in the
Premises or any part thereof, and provided that such contest shall not subject
Lessor or Mortgage Lender to the risk of any civil or criminal liability or
fine; and (iii) Lessee shall give such security as may be reasonably required by
Lessor to insure ultimate payment of such tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent,
charge, lien, encumbrance or compliance with Legal Requirements (including
penalties, interest, and reasonable costs and expenses) and to prevent any sale,
forfeiture or loss of Lessor's, or a member of Lessor's, interest in the
Premises or part thereof. Lessee further agrees that each such contest shall be
promptly prosecuted to a final conclusion, that it will hold and save Lessor,
its members and Mortgage Lender harmless against any and all losses, judgments,
decrees and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in
connection therewith, and that it will, promptly after the final determination
of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied,
assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein, together
with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses thereon or in
connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be
finally ordered or decreed as a result thereof. Lessor agrees, at Lessee's sole
expense, to cooperate with Lessee in any contest permitted hereby, to execute
any documents relating thereto that are reasonably requested by Lessee and that
do not adversely affect Lessor, any member of Lessor or any of Lessor's rights
hereunder, and to allow Lessee to bring any such contest, if legally required,
in Lessor's name, provided that Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify Lessor against
any loss, damages or expense incurred by reason thereof.
15. Default Provisions.
------------------
a. Any of the following occurrences or acts shall
constitute an Event of Default under this Lease: If (i) Lessee shall fail to pay
any Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent or Additional Rent when due and such failure
shall continue for ten (10) days (except that Basic Rent must in all cases be
paid prior to the last day of the applicable month), (ii) Lessee shall fail to
observe or perform any other provision hereof and such failure shall continue
for forty-five (45) days after notice to Lessee of such failure (provided that
in the case of any such default which cannot be cured by the payment of money
and cannot with diligence be cured within such forty-five (45) day period, if
Lessee shall commence promptly to cure the same and thereafter prosecute the
curing thereof with diligence, the time within which such default may be cured
shall be extended for such period as is necessary to complete the curing thereof
with diligence),
-13-
<PAGE>
(iii) Lessee shall suffer Bankruptcy, or (iv) an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing under the Loan Agreement other than pursuant to Section 6.1(r)
thereof.
b. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing for (i) a period of twenty-five (25) days or more and the Agent
(as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have directed Lessor to
suspend Lessee's rights under this Lease, or (ii) a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days or more (whether or not the Agent shall have so directed Lessor),
Lessor shall have the right to suspend, and if directed to do so by the Agent
shall suspend, Lessee's rights under this Lease and prohibit Lessee and its
employees, contractors, patrons, invitees and agents from entering onto the
Premises and Ground Lease Property or any part thereof until such time as the
Event of Default has been cured.
c. If the Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing for (i) a period of twenty-five (25) days or more and the
Agent shall have directed Lessor to terminate this Lease, or (ii) a period of
two hundred seventy (270) days or more (whether or not the Agent shall have so
directed Lessor), Lessor may, and if directed to do so by the Agent shall,
terminate this Lease by providing Lessee with written notice to that effect.
Upon such termination, Lessor shall have the right to evict and dispossess
Lessee from the Premises and Ground Lease Property by appropriate proceedings.
d. Unless Lessor shall have previously terminated
this Lease pursuant to Section 15(c) hereof, no eviction or any other exercise
of rights or remedies by Lessor shall prevent Lessee from curing a default under
this Lease within two hundred seventy (270) days of an Event of Default,
provided that if any payment obligation of Lessee hereunder (i) is not paid
within ten (10) days after the same has become an Event of Default, interest
shall commence to acrue thereon at the rate of interest announced from time to
time by Chase Manhattan Bank as its "prime rate" plus five (5%) percent (but in
no event shall said rate exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law), and (ii) is not paid within thirty (30) days after the same has
become an Event of Default, the amount necessary to cure (exclusive of any
interest penalty amounts) shall be increased by one hundred (100%) percent.
e. No expiration or termination of this Lease and
no re-entry or repossession of the Premises and Ground Lease Property, whether
any of the foregoing occur pursuant to this Section 15, by operation of law or
otherwise shall, except to the extent provided by law, relieve Lessee of its
liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such
expiration, termination, re-entry or repossession.
f. If Lessee's right to possession of the
Premises and Ground Lease Property has been terminated (or if such right has
terminated because of any expiration or termination of this Lease or re-entry or
repossession of the Premises and Ground Lease Property by reason of the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the following remedy should be available
at law), Lessee will pay to Lessor all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and
Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Lessee to and including
the date of such expiration, termination, re-entry or repossession, if any; and,
thereafter, Lessee shall, until the end of the period that would have been the
term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration,
-14-
<PAGE>
termination, re-entry or repossession, and whether or not the Premises and
Ground Lease Property shall have been relet, be liable to Lessor for, and shall
at Lessor's option either (i) continue to pay to Lessor on a monthly basis all
Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would have
otherwise been required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease
until the end of the period that would have been the full Term of this Lease, or
(ii) pay to Lessor as liquidated and agreed current damages, all Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent, Additional Rent and other sums that would be payable under
this Lease by Lessee in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry or
repossession, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises
and Ground Lease Property by or on behalf of Lessor, after deducting from such
proceeds all Lessor's expenses in connection with such reletting (including, but
not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with the termination of this
Lease and with such reletting, employees' expenses, alteration costs and
expenses of preparation for such reletting).
16. Rights of Lessor.
----------------
a. No right or remedy hereunder shall be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, but shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other right or remedy hereunder or provided by law, now or hereafter
existing. Failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof
or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall not
constitute a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. Receipt by Lessor
of any Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable
hereunder with knowledge of the breach or any provision hereof shall not
constitute a waiver or such breach, and no waiver of any provision hereof shall
be deemed to have been made unless made in writing. Lessor shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened
violation, of any of the provisions hereof, or to a decree compelling
performance of any of the provisions hereof, or to any other remedy allowed to
Lessor in equity or at law.
b. Lessee hereby waives and surrenders for
itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i)
any right and privilege which it or any of them may have to redeem the Premises
or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of Lessee's right of
possession by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, or
after the termination of the term of this Lease as herein provided, and (ii) the
benefits of any law that exempts property from liability for debt or for
distress for rent.
c. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Lessor reserves the right to permit the holder or beneficiary of any
rights pursuant to any Permitted Exceptions to exercise such rights, provided
that Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the holder of such rights to
exercise same in such a manner as to minimize any interference with Lessee's
operations.
17. Litigation Expenses.
-------------------
a. If Lessor or Mortgage Lender shall be made a
party to any third party litigation commenced by or against Lessee as a result
of Lessor's ownership of, or
-15-
<PAGE>
Mortgage Lender's interest in, the Premises and the Ground Lease Property, then
Lessee shall provide Lessor and Mortgage Lender, as applicable, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Mortgage Lender and pay the expenses
thereof or, upon a failure to so defend, pay all costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses incurred by Lessor and Mortgage Lender in connection with such
litigation.
b. If either party shall bring legal
proceedings against the other by reason of the breach of any provision hereof,
or otherwise arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party in such proceeding
shall be entitled to its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees which shall be
payable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. As used herein,
"prevailing party" shall include, but not be limited to, a party who brings an
action against the other after the other's default or breach, if such action is
dismissed upon the other's payment of the sums allegedly due or performance of
the covenants allegedly breached, or if the plaintiff obtains substantially the
relief sought by it.
18. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee may not sublease
-------------------------
all or any part of the Premises or sub-sublease the Ground Lease Property or
assign all or any part of its interest hereunder without the prior written
consent of Lessor and the Mortgage Lender. No such assignment or lease of the
Premises or sub-sublease of the Ground Lease Property shall modify or limit any
right or power of Lessor hereunder or affect or reduce any obligation of Lessee
hereunder and all such obligations shall continue in full effect as obligations
of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment or
leasing had been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Lessor
and Mortgage Lender shall not be required for the Lessee to assign this Lease to
the purchaser of Lessee's Gaming Operations including, but not limited to, the
Trump Berthing Agreement, provided such purchaser (i) has a senior implied debt
rating or senior unsecured rating of at least B2 by Moody's Investors Service
and a corporate credit rating of at least B by Standard & Poor's, and (ii)
assumes in writing all of Lessee's obligations pursuant to this Lease, from and
after the date thereof, whereupon Lessee shall be released from all of its
obligations and liabilities hereunder.
19. Mortgages.
---------
a. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor shall
execute and deliver one or more mortgages with respect to its interest in the
Premises and Ground Lease Property (each a "Mortgage") in order to secure
Permitted Financing and, in connection therewith, shall assign its interest in
and to this Lease. If either Lessor or the mortgagee, grantee or trustee under
any such Mortgage provides written notice to Lessee of the existence of such
Mortgage and the address of the mortgagee, grantee or trustee thereunder for the
service of notices, such mortgagee, grantee or trustee, or a shareholder,
director, officer, partner (general or limited) or member of any of the
foregoing, shall be deemed to be a "Mortgage Lender" hereunder and entitled to
the rights and protections afforded a Mortgage Lender in this Lease.
b. If any Mortgage Lender or a person
designated by such Mortgage Lender shall either become the owner of the Property
upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage, such Mortgage
Lender or such person shall have the right to assign to any
-16-
<PAGE>
person this Lease or such new lease upon notice to Lessee, without obtaining the
consent or approval of Lessee.
c. No surrender (except a surrender upon the
expiration of the Term) by Lessee to Lessor of this Lease, or of the Premises
and Ground Lease Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, and
no termination of this Lease, may occur, nor shall any of the terms hereof be
amended, modified, changed or cancelled, without the prior written consent of
the Mortgage Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
d. No Mortgage Lender shall become personally
liable for the performance or observance of any covenants or conditions to be
performed or observed by Lessor.
e. In the event Mortgage Lender imposes a
written condition to closing on a loan secured by a Mortgage that the Lease be
amended in one or more specific respects and Lessor determines to so amend this
Lease, Lessee shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease in the form
required by Lessor, provided such amendment does not increase any of the
financial or other obligations of Lessee or materially reduce the obligations of
Lessor hereunder.
f. Lessee covenants and agrees to furnish to
Mortgage Lender as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter of
Lessee, and in no event later than forty-five (45) days thereafter, internally
prepared financial statements of Lessee for such quarter consisting of the
balance sheets of Lessee as of the end of such quarter and the related
statements of income and cash flows for the quarter, accompanied by the
certificate of Lessee's chief financial officer (or equivalent), certifying (i)
that such financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; and (ii) that no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under this Lease, or if such Event of Default is continuing,
how Lessee proposes to cure the same.
g. Lessee covenants and agrees to furnish to
Mortgage Lender as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in
no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, audited financial
statements of Lessee for such fiscal year consisting of the balance sheets of
Lessee as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of income
and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, setting forth in comparative form
the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and prepared
by a certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Mortgage Lender,
accompanied by such accountant's unqualified opinion as to such financial
statements and a copy of the management letter issued in connection with such
accountant's audit thereof, and accompanied by the certificate of the chief
financial officer of Lessee (or the equivalent) that such statements fairly
present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Lessee
as of such date and for such fiscal year and were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
-17-
<PAGE>
h. Lessee covenants and agrees to promptly
notify Mortgage Lender with respect to (i) the occurrence of any event that
materially adversely affects Lessee, its properties, financial position or
ability to conduct its business operations in substantially the manner and level
contemplated to be conducted as of the date of this Lease, (ii) any modification
of any law, regulation or ordinance of the State of Indiana, or any agency or
political subdivision thereof, that has a material adverse effect on Lessee's
ability to maintain its gaming license or to conduct its gaming business at its
present location, and (iii) the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
before any court or arbitrator or any governmental department, board, agency or
other instrumentality affecting Lessee or any property of Lessee in which an
adverse determination or result would have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) of Lessee
or on the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Lease, stating
the nature and status of such event, amendment, action, suit or proceeding and
providing such additional information as Mortgage Lender may reasonably request.
i. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the Mortgage Lenders are express third party beneficiaries of this Lease,
including for purposes of Sections 15 and 34 hereof.

acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a certificate duly signed by an

22. No Merger. There shall be no merger of this Lease or
---------
of the estate hereby created with any other estate in the Premises and Ground
Lease Property by reason of the fact that the same person acquires or holds,
directly or indirectly, this Lease or the estate hereby created or any interest
herein or in such estate as well as any other estate in the Premises and Ground
Lease Property or any interest in such other estate.
23. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
---------
of the Term hereof, Lessee shall surrender the Premises and Ground Lease
Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Premises and Ground Lease
Property were originally received from Lessor, reasonable wear and tear
excepted.
24. Severability; Binding Effect; Amendments to be in
-------------------------------------------------
Writing. Each provision hereof shall be separate and independent and the breach
-------
of any such provision by Lessor shall not discharge or relieve Lessee from its
obligations to perform each and every covenant to be performed by Lessee
hereunder. If any provision hereof or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall
not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and
enforceable to the extent permitted by law. All provisions contained in this
Lease shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the
respective successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee to the same extent as if
each such successor and assign were named as a party hereto. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 19(c) hereof, this Lease may not be changed, modified or
discharged except by a writing signed by Lessor and Lessee, and, provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing thereunder,
-19-
<PAGE>
consented to by the lessee under the Majestic Lease, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
25. Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and
-------------
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana.
26. Headings and Table of Contents. The headings of
------------------------------
various paragraphs herein and the table of contents have been inserted for
convenient reference only and shall not to any extent have the effect of
modifying or amending the express terms and provisions of this Lease.
27. Subordination to Mortgage Lenders. This Agreement and
---------------------------------
all leasehold interests or licenses granted hereunder are and shall be subject
and subordinate at all times and in all respects to the lien of any mortgage
granted by Lessor that now or hereafter affects the Premises or the Ground Lease
Property, or any part thereof, and/or Lessor's interest therein and any and all
advances made or hereafter made upon the security thereof, together with any
interest thereon and all other sums secured by such mortgage, and to any
agreement at any time modifying, supplementing, restating, extending or
replacing any such mortgage. This Paragraph 27 shall be self-operative and no
further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such
subordination, however, Lessee shall execute and deliver promptly any
certificate that Lessor and/or any mortgagee and/or its respective successors
and assigns may request. Lessee agrees that it will take no steps to terminate
this Lease or abate amounts payable hereunder without giving any mortgagee
requesting same, written notice of any default by Lessor and the opportunity to
cure such default (without any obligation on the part of any such person to cure
such default) within forty-five (45) days thereafter or such longer period as
may be reasonably necessary to affect such cure. Upon any mortgagee's acquiring
or succeeding to the interest of Lessor under this Agreement Lessee shall, and
upon the written request of such mortgagee, and without further instruments of
attornment, fully warrant to, attorn to and recognize such mortgagee as Lessor
under this Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph shall inure to
the benefit of any such mortgagee, shall be self-operative, and no further
instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Upon demand of
any such mortgagee, Lessee agrees to execute instruments to evidence and confirm
the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 27 satisfactory to any such
mortgagee. The foregoing subordination and agreements on behalf of Lessee are
expressly conditioned upon Lessor's obtaining a non- disturbance agreement for
the benefit of Lessee in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessee from
each and every mortgagee.
28. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in the possession of
------------
the Premises and Ground Lease Property after the expiration of the Term, such
continued possession shall, if rent is paid by Lessee and accepted by Lessor,
create a month-to-month tenancy on the terms and conditions herein specified and
at a Basic Rent equal to such portion of the Basic Rent allocable to the month
prior to the expiration of the Term, and said tenancy may be terminated at any
time by either party by thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other
party.
-20-
<PAGE>
29. Quiet Enjoyment. At all times during the Term, so
---------------
long as no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, the rights and
privileges of Lessee hereunder and to the possession and quiet enjoyment of the
Premises and Ground Lease Property shall not be disturbed by Lessor or any
person acting though or on behalf of Lessor except by persons exercising rights
under a Permitted Exception.
30. Disclaimer of Lessor's Liability for Consequential
--------------------------------------------------
Damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
-------
Lessor have responsibility or liability to Lessee or Lessee's members, parents,
Affiliates, shareholders, employees, directors or other representatives, or
Affiliates thereof, for (a) indirect damages, (b) consequential damages, (c)
lost profits or revenues, or (d) damages for diminution or loss of public image,
reputation or goodwill for any alleged or actual breach of this Lease or any
alleged or actual breach of any duty (whether such duty arises or is alleged to
arise from contract, statute, common law or otherwise), even if same result from
or are caused by a breach by Lessor of this Lease or of the aforementioned
duties.
31. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any
------------
number of counterparts, each of which as executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
32. Recording. Either party shall have the right to place
---------
this Lease or a memorandum thereof of record in Lake County, Indiana.
33. Certain Obligations Joint. Lessee acknowledges that
-------------------------
its obligations under Sections 4(b), (c) and (d), 6(e), 8(a), 9, 10 and 12 (the
"Joint Obligations") are joint and several with the obligations of the lessee
under the Majestic Lease pursuant to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d), 6(f), 8(a), 9,
10 and 12 of the Majestic Lease. Lessor agrees to accept performance by Lessee
and/or the lessee under the Majestic Lease of the Joint Obligations as
performance of such obligations under both this Lease and the Majestic Lease.
34. Lessee's Representations and Warranties. Lessee
---------------------------------------
represents and warrants to Lessor and Mortgage Lenders as follows:
a. Lessee is a Delaware corporation, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has
all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver and to perform all of
its obligations under this Lease and the execution and delivery hereof and the

Filings"), or violate any law, regulation or order of the United States or the
State of Indiana or agency or political subdivision thereof, including without
limitation the Indiana Gaming Commission, or any court order or judgment in any
proceeding to which Lessee is or was a party or by which any property of Lessee
is bound.
