"Contracts" shall mean and include: (1) all Material Contracts existing on the

participate in any negotiations with such labor unions or other employee
representative or groups of employees; (3) all contracts and agreements incurred
in connection with the Business which would not constitute Material Contracts,

in the normal and ordinary course of business; (4) any Contracts approved (or
deemed approved) by Buyer
10

permitted without the consent of the other party or parties to such Contract,
this Agreement shall not be effective to assign such Contract if such consent is
not given; provided, further, that at the request of Buyer, Seller shall use all
-------- -------
reasonable efforts to obtain such consent. If (i) any such consent is not
obtained or (ii) if Buyer's assumption of such Contract is prohibited by law,
Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to undertake with Buyer to
enter into a subcontract or other arrangement pursuant to which Buyer shall
receive the benefits of such Contract upon Buyer's payment of the consideration
provided in the Contract and assumption of the obligation to perform the same;
provided, however, that with respect to (i) above, if any Contract may only be
-------- -------
assigned upon payment, directly or indirectly, of additional consideration, then
Buyer may either (1) pay any such additional consideration whereupon Seller
shall assign such Contract to Buyer or (2) elect not to assume such Contract,
which shall be and remain the sole responsibility of Seller, and Buyer shall
have no rights under any such Contract. In the event Buyer's assumption of any
such Contract is prohibited by law, Buyer shall not be required to assume such
Contract, which shall be and remain the sole responsibility of Seller's and
Buyer shall have no rights under any such Contract;

5 Title to Real Property.
----------------------
5.1 Title Reports and Exceptions.
----------------------------
(a) Seller shall, within Fifteen (150 days of the Seller's Board of
Director's approval, deliver to Buyer a preliminary report (and a survey within
a reasonable time thereafter) of the Real Property ("Preliminary Title Report")
from the Title Company. Buyer shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of
the Preliminary Title Report in which to review such report. "Title Objection"
shall mean any item or matter appearing in a Preliminary Title Report other than
(i) inchoate statutory liens for taxes or assessments not due and payable, (ii)
any such matter which does not in fact create a material impairment to the
continued operation of the Business on the Real Property; (iii) any matter of
which Buyer has not notified Seller in writing (stating the reason Buyer
contends that such matter constitutes a Title Objection) within ten (10)
business days after receipt of a continuation
14
<PAGE>
report from the Title Company in which such matter not previously referenced in
a continuation report or the Preliminary Title Report first appears, together
with a copy of the document, if any, creating such new matter (each such period
herein called the "Title Review Period") stating in good faith the reason Buyer
contends such matter constitutes a Title Objection; (iv) any matter approved by
Buyer; or (v) any matter which is caused by, or otherwise results from the
actions of Buyer. Upon termination of any applicable Title Review Period, any
matter not timely listed as a Title Objection by Buyer as of such date shall be
deemed approved as a Permitted Exception and not constitute a Title Objection.
Seller shall have until the Closing to remove or cure any Title Objection
subject to subparagraph (b) hereinbelow;
(b) If, after the date hereof, a matter is disclosed to Buyer which
Buyer contends to be a Title Objection, Seller shall notify Buyer within ten
(10) business days after notice from Buyer to Seller of the matter which Buyer
contends to be a Title Objection, whether Seller will undertake to cure or
otherwise remove such matter on or prior to Closing. If Seller gives written
notice to Buyer that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure such matter on or
prior to Closing, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right
and option, if such matter is a Title Objection, exercisable by written notice
to Seller within seven (7) business days after Buyer has received Seller's
notice that Seller will not undertake to cure, to (i) waive same and agree to
accept conveyance of the Property subject to such Title Objection at closing
with offset, reimbursement or payment or (ii) terminate this Agreement and
receive a complete and total refund of any and all monies (the Deposit)
described in Paragraph 3.2. Should Buyer not give any notice within the seven
(7) business day period referenced above, such title matter shall be
conclusively deemed waived by Buyer and be conclusively deemed a Permitted
Exception.
(c) A Title Objection other than one involving a matter set forth in
the
15
<PAGE>
Preliminary Title Report shall be deemed cured by Seller and no longer to
constitute a Title Objection if such matter is either removed of record by
appropriate release or other instrument, removed as an exception in a
continuation report, (whether by reason of "bonding around" or "insured
around") by Seller or otherwise. "Insured Around" as used herein means that the
Title Policy shall affirmatively indemnify and defend the Buyer from and
against any and all loss and liability, including litigation costs and
attorneys' fees in connection therewith. Notwithstanding Seller's election to
"bond around" or "insure around" the title objection the Seller shall
affirmatively effect any action required to remove the title objection. All
exceptions to title of the Property disclosed in the Preliminary Title Report or
in any continuation report thereof which are not Title Objections, or which are
waived by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, are herein referred to as the
"Permitted Exceptions", and Buyer agrees to take title to the Property at
Closing subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Seller is under no obligation to
initiate legal proceedings or to incur any expense to cure Title Objections,
except that Seller shall remove any voluntary contractual liens created by
Seller.
5.2 Title Policy. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1 at the
------------
Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Seller's expense: (i) a ALTA/ACSM
Owner's Policy ("Title Policy") from a company satisfactory to Buyer dated the
Closing Date in the aggregate amount of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000)
insuring Buyer as owner of fee title to the Real Property subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions. The Parties agree that the Title Policy may be written
on a coinsured or reinsured basis by other title insurance companies to the
extent required by the Title Company, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.
Buyer shall pay that portion of the premium expense for such Title Policy
which is attributable to any special endorsements requested by Buyer. Seller
shall pay that portion of the premium expense for such Title Policy which is
attributable to any special endorsements requested by
16

Seller.

to the Property which would be required to be paid or assumed by Buyer after

thereof;
(h) Seller shall promptly disclose in writing to Buyer any change in
any facts or circumstances which would make any of the Representations
inaccurate, incomplete or misleading to the detriment of Buyer;

Employee Agreement which results from the renegotiation of any prior Represented
Employee Agreement between the date hereof and the Closing Date (the
"Renegotiated Agreements") or other Represented Employee Agreement which relates
to the Business shall be entered into; provided, however, that Seller may enter
into Renegotiated Agreements if the same shall generally be no less favorable to
the Business than those pertaining to the other hotel-casinos of comparable
size, status and character in the metropolitan Las Vegas area, Seller provides
Buyer with notice prior to entering into such Renegotiated Agreements and, after
receipt of such notice, Buyer approves, in writing, the terms of the
Renegotiated Agreements and Seller will take all actions necessary to comply

------------
any buildings or other improvements located on the Real Property or the
condemnation of a material portion of the Real Property (as such terms are
defined in Section 10.2 hereof) prior to Closing, Seller shall either (i) upon
providing Buyer with a description thereof, repair such damage and destruction
at Seller's expense prior to Closing or (ii) promptly notify Buyer of the damage
or destruction and Seller's inability or decision not to repair it. Within ten
(10) days after receipt by Buyer of Seller's notification of its inability or
decision not to repair, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller of Buyer's
election to terminate this Agreement or Buyer's election to offset and reduce
the purchase price. If any destruction, damage or condemnation of any building
or other improvement on the Real Property is not material, or if such
destruction, damage or condemnation is material and unrepaired by Seller prior
to Closing but Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove
provided, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price of an
amount equal to the cost to replace or repair the property by reason of such
damage, destruction, or condemnation (to the extent such funds have not been
expended on, or committed to, the repair or restoration of such damaged,
destroyed or condemned property), shall otherwise be consummated as though such
destruction, damage or condemnation (except for necessary changes in matters
relative to title set forth in the Title Policy and Deed resulting from any
condemnation) had not occurred.
34
<PAGE>
10.2 Material Loss. For the purposes of Section 10.1 hereof

adversely affect the conduct of gaming operations, or operation of the Business,
for a period in excess of sixty (60) days, or result in an uninsured loss in
excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for which Seller is
unwilling to assume responsibility thereof. In the case of condemnation, for
purposes of Section 10.1 hereof, the affected Real Property shall be deemed to
be a "material portion of the Real Property" if such condemnation may be
reasonably expected to interfere with the operation of the Business as presently
being conducted or the ability of Buyer to further develop a portion of the Real
Property for hotel/casino purposes.
10.3 Uniform Act. This Article X is intended as an express provision
-----------
with respect to destruction and condemnation which supersedes the provisions of

11 Termination; Remedies
---------------------
11.1 Termination. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1 and
-----------
11.2 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing by:
(a) The mutual consent of Seller and Buyer in the event the
Seller and Buyer agree to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to
and receive all of the Deposit described in Paragraph 3.2.;
(b) Seller or Buyer, on or at any time after nine months from the
Date of this Agreement, if the Closing or the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall not have occurred by such date for any reason, provided,
however, that at the request of Buyer, this
35
<PAGE>
time period shall be extended for an additional six months upon Buyer releasing
the Deposit to Seller. If the Closing occurs within such six month extended
period, the Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price; otherwise, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated and the Deposit shall be retained
unconditionally by Seller as liquidated damages as its sole and exclusive
remedy;
(c) Seller at any time on or prior to the Closing if (i) any of
the representations or warranties of Buyer contained herein shall prove to be
inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect or Buyer shall materially
breach any covenant or other obligation imposed on it pursuant to this
Agreement or (ii) if the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof shall not
have been met by the Closing Date;
(d) Buyer at any time on or prior to the Closing Date if (i) any
of the representations or warranties of Seller contained herein shall prove to
be inaccurate or incomplete in any respect, or Seller shall breach any covenant
or other obligation imposed on it pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) if the
conditions set forth in Section 8.1 hereof shall not have been met by the
Closing Date; or (iii) under the circumstances described in Sections 5.1,
10.1, and 11.3 hereof.
11.2 Effect of Termination. Except for any obligations of a party
---------------------
accrued as of the effective time of any termination or as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, in the event of termination of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any liability on the
part of any party or its directors, officers or stockholders and Buyer shall be
entitled to receive the Deposit described in Paragraph 3.2. Notwithstanding,
Buyer and Seller agree:
(a) If this Agreement is terminated by a party under circumstances
in which the other party has willfully or in bad faith failed to satisfy a
covenant or condition of
36
<PAGE>
the Closing ("Defaulting Party"), the Defaulting Party shall be and remain
responsible for any and all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense which
does or may result from such action and the resulting failure or inability to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(b) The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
11.3 Notice of Seller's Breach; Right to Cure.
----------------------------------------
(a) If at any time between the date hereof and the Closing Date,
Buyer becomes aware of any fact or circumstances which leads Buyer to believe
that any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder either was
inaccurate in a material respect when made or will be inaccurate in a material
respect as of the Closing Date, or that any covenant or condition of Seller
cannot be performed by Seller in a material respect on or before the Closing
date (any such inaccuracy or inability being herein referred to as a
"Noncompliance Matter", but excluding any representation, warranty, covenant or
condition pertaining to title to Real Property, which matters are treated
exclusively in Article V of this Agreement ), the Buyer shall give prompt
written notice to the Seller, which notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the asserted Noncompliance Matter on the part of Seller. Seller shall
have the right at its option (but shall not be obligated) either to (i) cure
such Noncompliance Matter or (ii) reduce or grant a credit against the Purchase
Price in an amount required to cure such Noncompliance Matter, in which event
such Noncompliance Matter shall not constitute a default hereunder. In the
event that Seller shall on or prior to Closing correct any Noncompliance Matter
or grant a credit against the Purchase Price as aforesaid, Buyer may not
subsequently terminate or decline to consummate this Agreement on the grounds of
the inaccu-
37
<PAGE>
racy of the representation or warranty or failure of the covenant or condition,
nor shall Buyer have any rights to recover damages by reason thereof;
(b) If the Noncompliance Matter is one which is not a liquidated
claim which can be discharged by the payment of money alone ("Unliquidated
Noncompliance Matter"), Seller shall have the right (but shall not be
obligated) to undertake to cure and remove same prior to Closing or, if Seller
is unable (or unwilling to state that Seller will be able to do so) Seller
shall have the sole right and option, based upon its evaluation of the asserted
Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter, to determine whether Seller will agree to
indemnify Buyer against any claim, liability, loss, cost, damage or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which is the direct and
proximate result of the Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter in question, in which
event:
(i) If Seller and Seller's Parent will agree to indemnify Buyer
as aforesaid with respect to such Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter, then Buyer
shall be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
unless such Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter can reasonably be expected to have
a materially adverse effect on the Property or operation of the Business. Any
indemnification instrument shall exclude any liability on the part of Seller for
any special or consequential damages and shall be in a form approved by the
Buyer.
(ii) If either (A) Seller will not agree to indemnify Buyer as
aforesaid in connection with such Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter or (B) such
Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter can reasonably be expected to have a
materially adverse effect on the Property or operation of the Business, Buyer
shall have the right and option either to (1) waive such Unliquidated
Noncompliance Matter and proceed with Closing with credit and offset against the
Purchase price or (2) terminate this Agreement;
38
<PAGE>
(iii) If prior to Closing a dispute arises between the parties
hereto as to (i) whether any matter asserted is a Noncompliance Matter or
Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter; (ii) the cost to correct any Noncompliance
Matter; or (iii) whether any Unliquidated Noncompliance Matter can reasonably be
expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or operation of the
Business, such dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in
accordance with the p rovisions of the Nevada Uniform Arbitration Act, Nev. Rev.
Stat. Section 38.015 et seq. ("Arbitration Act").
-------
11.4 Specific Performance. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge that
--------------------
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and there may be no
adequate remedy at law if Seller fail to perform any of their obligations
hereunder. In addition to any other rights or remedies Buyer may have, Buyer
shall have the right to obtain specific performance of the obligations of Seller
hereunder.

and Guarantor harmless at all times after the Closing in respect of any and
all claims, liabilities, loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses arising from, by reason of or in connection with

or warranty on the part of Seller under Section 6.1 of this Agreement, or in
any certificate or other instrument provided for in this Agreement.
45
<PAGE>
15.2 Buyer's Indemnity. Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify and save
and hold Seller and it's Parent Corporation harmless at all times after the
Closing in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, loss, cost, damage and
expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses any and all damages,
arising from, by reason of, or in connection with any untruth, breach or
inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty on the part
of Buyer under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, or in any certificate or other
instrument provided for in this Agreement.
Further, Buyer further covenants and agrees to indemnify and save and hold
Seller harmless at all times after the execution of this Agreement in respect of
any and all claims, liabilities, loss, cost, damage and expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses arising from any claim by a third party
asserting that Buyer's execution of and performance of this Agreement is
unlawful and/or violates any duty of Guarantor to such third party.
15.3 Notice of Claim. Each indemnified party hereunder agrees that
---------------
promptly upon its discovery of any event, occurrence, fact, circumstance or
other matter which, in its reasonable judgment, gives rise to a claim for
indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, including receipt by it of
notice of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, by any third party (any such third party action being collectively
referred to herein as a "Claim") with respect to any matter as to which it is
entitled to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give
prompt notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party together with a
statement of such information respecting such Claim as it shall then have and
that such Claim is one as to which such party is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement. The omission of any indemnified party so to notify an
indemnifying party of any such Claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party
from any liability in respect of such Claim which it may have otherwise had to
such indemnified party on
46
<PAGE>
account of any damages which are the subject of such Claim except and only to
the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby, and in no event
shall the indemnifying party be relieved of any other liability which it may
have to such indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such
notice, the indemnifying party, at its election, shall have the right of
defense against such Claim, by counsel of its own choosing, at the
indemnifying party's expense. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully in
all respects with the indemnifying party in any such defense, including,
without limitation, by making available to the indemnifying party all
pertinent information under the control of the indemnified party (including
consultation with, and testimony, advise and assistance of officers, employees
and agents of the indemnified party having knowledge of the matters in
dispute). If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party,
within ten (10) days of the indemnified party's notice to the indemnifying
party of a Claim, that the indemnifying party will defend the same, or should
the indemnifying party fail to file any answer or other pleading at least five
(5) days before the same is due, the indemnified party may defend or settle
such Claim in such manner as the indemnified party deems appropriate, in its
sole discretion. If the indemnifying party so notifies the indemnified party
concurrently with the indemnifying party's notice of election to defend, the
indemnifying party may defend, but not settle, a Claim with out waiving its
rights to assert that such Claim is not subject to the indemnity agreements in
this Article 15. If the indemnifying party elects to defend a Claim, the
indemnified party may, at the indemnified party's expense, participate in such
matter with counsel of the indemnified party's own choosing.

Re: Sale of the Hacienda Resort Hotel and Casino
Dear Mr. Bennett:
This letter sets forth certain modifications and/or clarifications to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") by and between Hacienda Hotel, Inc.
("Seller"), Sahara Gaming Corporation ("Guarantor") and William G. Bennett
("Buyer") entered into on January 10, 1995, pertaining to the sale of the assets
of the Hacienda Resort Hotel and Casino. The parties to the January 10, 1995
Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "the Parties". The following
modifications and clarifications to the Agreement are being made to facilitate
the contemplated assignment by Buyer of his rights and obligations under the
Agreement to Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc.
A. Clarifications.
--------------
1. The Parties agree that all assets to be conveyed to the Buyer or
Buyer's assignee in accordance with the Agreement will be conveyed to
Buyer or Buyer's assignee free and clear of all liabilities, security
interests, liens and encumbrances except for those expressly approved
by Buyer or Buyer's assignee.
2. The Parties agree that the title exceptions set forth in Exhibit A,
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
constitute reasonable title objections to the Preliminary Title Report
prepared by United Title, dated February 13, 1995, and will be removed
by Seller on or before the Closing. The Parties agree that Buyer or
Buyer's assignee shall have five (5) days from the receipt of an
ALTA/ASCM survey of the real property to notify Seller of any
encroachments or any other matters, which in fact create a material
impairment to the continued operation of the Business on the Real
Property (the "Survey Objections"). Buyer or Buyer's assignee shall be
deemed to have approved all title exceptions, except for the
exceptions set forth in Exhibit A. Except as provided in the
Agreement, Seller shall remove or cure all Survey Objections on or
before Closing. Any title exception in the Preliminary Title Report
approved or deemed approved by Buyer or Buyer's assignee shall
constitute a Permitted Exception. Seller has heretofore disclosed
90
<PAGE>
to Buyer or Buyer's assignee that the Hacienda's variance allowing a
311 parking space reduction expires on or about October, 1995, and that
a renewal of the variance or application for a permit to operate at a
reduced level of parking spaces must be timely filed. Except as
clarified by this paragraph, all other provisions of Article 5 of the
Agreement dealing with the title remain in full force and effect.
3. Seller confirms that as of the effective date of this letter,
Seller has, to the best of its knowledge, provided Buyer or Buyer's
assignee with copies of the contracts and leases affecting the property
that will remain in effect after the Closing. Any contract that Seller
becomes aware of after the date hereof shall be submitted to Buyer or
Buyer's assignee as soon as Seller becomes aware of such contracts and
leases, and Buyer or Buyer's assignee will have fifteen (15) days to
notify Seller of any objections.
4. Seller agrees at Closing to make full and final settlement with
Seller's employees with respect to wages, salaries, bonus payments,
severance pay, union dues, contributions to benefit plans, payroll
taxes, holiday, birthday and other premium pay, and all the liabilities
and obligations related to the employment by Seller, to the extent
earned and accrued to the Closing date, or to reduce the purchase price
by such amount as is acceptable to the Buyer or Buyer's assignee. Buyer
or Buyer's assignee assumes no obligations, responsibilities or
liabilities of any kind resulting or relating from the employment
and/or termination by Seller of its employees, including but not
limited to any obligation to continue to employ such persons. The
Parties agree that Seller will take all reasonable steps to comply with
the requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification
Act (29 U.S.C. (S) 2101 et seq.), and the Parties agree that the
Closing date will not occur prior to the time necessary for the Seller
to comply with said Act.
91
<PAGE>
B. Modifications.
-------------
1. The Parties acknowledge that certain information systems relating
to the operation of the property ("Systems") are connected to or
otherwise supported by Sahara Gaming Corporation, via its AS-400, T124
channel phone circuit, data communication lines between the Hacienda
Hotel and Casino and the Sahara Hotel and Casino. Seller agrees to
provide all computer software, hardware, communications interfaces and
other technical peripheral systems and/or technical support ("Computer
Services") necessary to enable Buyer to continue operation of the
property until Buyer is able to convert the Systems to its own
hardware/software platforms. The Parties shall cooperate to develop a
plan to assure the orderly conversion of the Systems as expeditiously
as possible, consistent with the operation of the property. Buyer
agrees to pay its pro-rata share of the monthly communication line
charges between the Hacienda Hotel and Casino and the Sahara Hotel and
Casino, and a reasonable fee to be determined by the Parties on or
before Closing, for the Computer Services until Buyer is able to
convert the Systems to its own hardware/software platforms.
2. The Parties agree that Section 12.2 (n) of the Agreement is hereby
deleted and that pursuant to and in order to comply with NRS 364A.200,
372.620, 612.695, 244.335 and 244.3352, such amounts as Buyer or
Buyer's assignee and Seller reasonably estimate are necessary to
comply with the provisions of the above-mentioned statutes will be
withheld by United Title out of the purchase price payable to Seller
at Closing until such time as Seller furnishes Buyer or Buyer's
assignee and United Title the receipts or certificates provided for in
such statutes, or if not so provided for, such evidence as Buyer or
Buyer's assignee may reasonably require to assure Buyer or Buyer's
assignee that the applicable obligations have been paid. If Seller
does not produce such receipts or certificates within the time period
provided for in such statutes, or if any lien or claim therefore is
asserted against Buyer or Buyer's assignee or the property, United
Title shall pay such withheld sums to the appropriate authority. Buyer
or Buyer's assignee and Seller shall execute mutual escrow
instructions to carry out the provisions of this paragraph, and to
authorize United Title to deposit such withheld amounts in an interest
bearing account for the benefit of Seller.
92
<PAGE>
3. Seller and Buyer or Buyer's assignee designate United Title as
the "Reporting Person" for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e)
of the Internal Revenue Code.
4. The Parties agree that before destroying any files, records or
information of Seller with respect to the property, Seller shall notify
Buyer or Buyer's assignee and Buyer or Buyer's assignee may, at its
sole expense, copy and retain same. Buyer or Buyer's assignee shall be
entitled at all reasonable times to inspect and make copies of such
files, records and information maintained by the Seller with respect to
the property.
5. The Parties agree that references to Buyer's "Guarantor" are
inapplicable and are deleted.
6. The Parties agree that the notice provision of the Agreement is
amended to provide that notices to Buyer shall be as follows:
"Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc., 2880 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las
Vegas, Nevada 89109, Attention: Mike Sloan, with copies to Lionel,
Sawyer & Collins, 300 South Fourth Street, Suite 1700, Las Vegas,
Nevada 89101, Attention: Jeffrey P. Zucker."
7. The Parties agree that Exhibits "E", "F", "H", "I", "K" and "M"
shall be amended to read as Exhibits "E", "F", "H", "I", "K" and "M"
attached hereto.
8. The Parties agree that except as amended or clarified hereby, the
Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. To the
extent of any conflict between the Agreement and this letter, the terms
of this letter shall control.
Yours truly,
PAUL LOWDEN

2. Contracts and Assumption of Liabilities. Article IV of the Agreement
---------------------------------------
is hereby amended to add the following new Section 4.1(e):
(e) For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA), 29 U.S.C (S) 1381 et seq., Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that
this Agreement, with respect to the sale by Seller and the purchase by Buyer, is
a bona fide, arm's-length sale of assets to an unrelated purchaser. Furthermore,
subject to Section 4.1(d), Buyer expressly acknowledges its obligation to
contribute to multi-employer pension plans (collectively, "Plans") to which
Seller has been obligated to contribute. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that
written notification shall be provided to the subject Plans of Buyer's and
Seller's intention that the sale be covered by ERISA pursuant to the
requirements of 29 C.F.R. (S) 2643.11(a). Buyer hereby further agrees to provide
sufficient financial or other information to the Plans to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Plans that at least one of the criteria contained in 29
C.F.R. (S) 2643.12, (S) 2643.13, or (S) 2643.14(a) is satisfied, thereby
eliminating the bond or escrow requirement of 29 U.S.C. (S) 1384(a)(1)(B);
provided, Buyer in its sole discretion, may elect to post a bond or
--------
amount in escrow in satisfaction of 29 U.S.C. (S) 1384(a)(1)(B). Seller hereby
agrees to be secondarily liable, pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 1384(a)(1)(C), for its
deferred withdrawal liability if Buyer withdraws from the Plans, or any single
Plan, within five (5) years after the sale and does not pay its withdrawal
liability.
3. Other Agreement Terms. Except as modified in this First Amendment,
---------------------
all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
4. Controlling Document. To the extent that the provisions of this
--------------------
First Amendment are inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, the terms
of this First Amendment shall control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First
