1.  AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT

1.1 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

   Subsections 2.8(b)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement shall be and are hereby
amended in their entirety to read as follows:

  "(i) In Tenant's federal income and franchise Tax Returns filed for all
       prior taxable years, Tenant reported the Sports Corporation Lease as a
       purchase money note (the "Installment Obligation") pursuant to which
       Tenant acquired the property subject to the Sports Corporation Lease.
       Consistent with the foregoing, the parties agree to report for federal
       income tax and Texas franchise tax purposes in a manner consistent
       with the following: (A) Buyer's assumption of the Sports Corporation
       Lease shall be treated as an assumption of the Tenant's Installment
       Obligation; (B) the assets acquired by Buyer from Tenant pursuant to
       this Agreement are the Purchased Assets acquired from Tenant, treating
       the property subject to the Sports Corporation Lease as owned by
       Tenant and sold to Buyer (the "Tenant Assets"); (C) the total sales
       price paid by Buyer to Tenant to be reported in Part I, Line 3 of
       Treasury Department Form 8594 shall be the sum of (x) $43,971,150 of
       the cash portion of the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.3, (y)
       any Assumed Liabilities assumed from Tenant (excluding the PILOT
       Agreement as an Assumed Liability for purposes of the calculations in
       Sections 2.8(b)(i) and (ii) only) and (z) the Installment Obligation,
       which as of December 31, 2001 had a fixed obligation of $19,028,850;
       and (D) the fair market value of the Class I and III assets to be
       agreed on by the parties in accordance with the procedures set forth
       in Section 2.8(b)(iv) below; and (E) the fair market value of the
       Class V assets to be reported on Treasury Department Form 8594 shall
       be equal to the excess of the sales price as determined under Section
       2.8(b)(i)(C) over the aggregate fair market value of the Class I
       through Class III assets as determined in clause (D) of this Section
       2.8(b)(i), and will be allocated to the individual Tenant Assets
       within Class V assets on the Treasury Department Form 8594 in
       accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.8(b)(iv) below.

                                       1


  (ii) The parties agree to report for federal income tax and Texas franchise
       tax purposes in a manner consistent with the following: (A) the
       actions described in Section 2.9 shall be treated, for federal income
       tax purposes only, as Buyer's purchase of the License from Lone Star
       and, for Texas franchise tax purposes only, as Buyer's purchase of the
       membership interest of New LLC; (B) the total sales price paid by
       Buyer to Lone Star to be reported in Part I, Line 3 of Treasury
       Department Form 8594 shall be the sum of $36,028,850 of the cash
       portion of the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.3 (minus the
       amount allocated to the MBLS assets pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(iii)),
       plus the Assumed Liabilities assumed from Lone Star (excluding the
       PILOT Agreement as an Assumed Liability for purposes of the
       calculations in Sections 2.8(b)(i) and (ii) only); (C) the fair market
       value of the Class IV assets and Class V assets to be reported on
       Treasury Department Form 8594 shall be zero and $2,022,387,
       respectively (as reasonably adjusted by agreement of the parties for
       additions and disposals from the execution of this Agreement to the
       Closing) with the fair market value of the individual assets in each
       such class to be reported on Treasury Department Form 8594 to be
       agreed by the parties in accordance with the procedures described in
       Section 2.8(b)(iv) below and the fair market value of the Class I
       through III assets to be agreed on by the parties in accordance with
       the procedures set forth in Section 2.8(b)(iv) below; and (D) the fair
       market value of the Class VI assets to be reported on Treasury
       Department Form 8594 shall be equal to the excess of the sales price
       as determined in clause (B) above over the aggregate fair market value
       of the Class I through Class V assets as determined in clauses (A)
       through (C) of this Section 2.8(b)(ii), and will be allocated solely
       to the License."
