NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein and in the Amended Dockage Agreement, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Amended Dockage Agreement is further modified, altered and changed in the following respects only, and the parties agree as follows:

 

1. JMBS hereby notifies the Yacht Club, and the Yacht Club acknowledges receipt of such notice and waives any further notice requirements under Section 6 of the Original Agreement, of the exercise by JMBS of the third option to extend the term of the Amended

 

2



 

Dockage Agreement, the term of which shall begin at 12:01 a.m. (Central Standard Time) on December 29, 2002, and shall expire at 11:59:59 p.m. on August 31, 2010 (the “Third Option Term”). During the Third Option Term JMBS shall pay to the Yacht Club dockage fees as provided in the Agreement, and under Section 7 during the Third Option Term such dockage fees shall be $390,000 per annum, prorated on a daily basis for any year less than 365 days.

 

2. Section 9 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows;

 

Yacht Club further agrees that so long as Cotton Club is not in default of this Agreement (Cotton Club shall not be deemed to be in default unless Yacht Club has given Cotton Club written notice of such default and Cotton Club has not cured such default within thirty days after receipt of such notice), Yacht Club will not allow any vessel not owned/operated/chartered by Cotton Club which is primarily engaged in the business of gaming to tie up at its dock or otherwise occupy any waterfront space in which Yacht Club has any rights, title or interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Dockage Agreement to the contrary, Cotton Club has the right, but not the obligation, under this Dockage Agreement to tie up a vessel or vessels primarily engaged in the business of gaming at Yacht Club’s dock. Accordingly, no removal by Cotton Club of any vessel or vessels tied up at the Yacht Club’s dock shall affect the Yacht Club’s obligations or Cotton Club’s rights under the first sentence of this Section 9.
