Exhibit 10.3

SECOND AMENDMENT TO

HEAD LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE SENECA NATION OF INDIANS

AND

SENECA ERIE GAMING CORPORATION

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO HEAD LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made by and between THE SENECA NATION OF INDIANS (the “Landlord”) and SENECA ERIE GAMING CORPORATION (“Tenant”) as of the 1st day of October, 2008 (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Head Lease Agreement dated February 28, 2007, and effective April 1, 2006 (the “Head Lease Agreement”), and amended as of October 1, 2007, pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord land on Landlord’s Buffalo Creek Territory for use as the site for the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Head Lease Agreement to modify the Annual Rent described therein, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.                                      The foregoing recitals are restated and incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

2.                                      Section 2.01(a) of the Head Lease Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a)          Rent.  Commencing as of October 1, 2008, Tenant shall pay directly to the Landlord, or Landlord’s representative if Tenant is so notified, annual rent (“Annual Rent”) in the amount of Fifteen Million Nine Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($15,913,500.00), which will be payable in equal monthly installments of One Million Three Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($1,326,125.00) in advance on the first day of each calendar month.  The Annual Rent may be increased in future years, provided that no increase in Annual Rent hereunder may contravene, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture, instrument or other commitment legally binding upon Landlord and/or Tenant, or to which the Premises are subject (“Commitments”).  Any proposed increase to the prior year’s Annual Rent shall be jointly reviewed by Landlord and Tenant for consistency with then-applicable Commitments, with any such increase to be confirmed by the parties in writing prior to its effectiveness.  The delay or failure of either party in computing the Annual Rent increase or executing a written statement of confirmation of such Annual Rent increase will not impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay Annual Rent.  All amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease Agreement, including,

1

without limiting the foregoing, Annual Rent, and any other sums, costs, expenses or deposits that Tenant in any of the provisions of this Lease Agreement assumes or agrees to pay and/or deposit, shall constitute “Rent” under this Lease.  Rent may be prepaid by Tenant on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis with the consent of Landlord.

3.                                      Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Head Lease Agreement.  Except as amended by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Head Lease Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but both of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.
