COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS
New Providence



THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO HEADS OF AGREEMENT is made the 7"' day of December, 2004.

BETWEEN :

(1)      THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS  represented  herein by, WENDELL MAJOR,  Secretary
of the National Economic Council, (hereinafter called "the Government") and;

(2)      KERZNER  INTERNATIONAL  LIMITED a company  incorporated  under the laws of and having its registered
office in the  Commonwealth  of The Bahamas,  to include its relevant  subsidiaries  and  affiliates at
every tier,  represented  herein by HOWARD B. KERZNER,  Chief  Executive  Officer  (hereinafter  called
"Kerzner").

RECITALS

WHEREAS : -

A.       The Government  and Kerzner are parties to a Heads of Agreement  dated the 26`" day of May, 2003, as
         amended by a Supplemental Agreement dated 3`" May, 2004, (together,  as amended,  referred to
         herein as "the 2003 HOA").  Unless otherwise  defined herein,  all capitalized  terms used in
         this Supplement shall have the meanings given to them in the 2003 HOA;

B.       In  consideration  of the continued  expansion and  segmentation  of the resort market,  Kerzner has
         decided to reconfigure  its Phase III product in order to take advantage of the latest market
         trends,   which  has  witnessed  the  introduction  of  higher-end   `All-Suite'   hotel  and
         `Condo-Hotel'  products,  the  introduction  of which will be a new  product  for The Bahamas
         tourism  market,  and  will put the  destination  at the  forefront  of this  trend  and in a
         position to compete more effectively with its principal rival markets of Orlando,  Disney and
         Las Vegas.

C.       While the key economic impacts, including the minimum investment of $1.0 billion and the minimum
         of 3,000 new permanent jobs for Bahamians contemplated  by the 2003 HOA will be met,  there will
         also be an increase in the  economic benefits to The Bahamas from the newly  configured project,
         as projected  in an economic impact study dated  November  2004,  and therefore the parties have
         agreed to amend the 2003 HOA to reflect the modifications to the resort product as hereinafter contained.

NOW THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENT WITNESSETH in consideration of the premises as follows:-

1.     MODIFICATION OF HOTEL PRODUCT

Kerzner and the Government  hereby agree that the New Hotel and Facilities  shall include a 600-room,
All-Suite  hotel  ("the  All-Suite  Hotel")  and  a  400-room   Condo-Hotel  ("the  Condo-Hotel")  in
substitution  for the 1,500-room  hotel  contemplated by the 2003 HOA, and the definition of "the New
Hotel and  Facilities"  shall be amended  accordingly.  Kerzner  will  commence  construction  of the
All-Suite hotel by 30"' April,  2005, with  substantial  completion of construction in December 2006,
and shall  commence  construction  of the  Condo-Hotel  by 31S` December,  2005,  with  completion of
construction during 2007.

2.     GOLF COURSE

Having conducted  extensive  environmental  studies,  and in consideration of the  environmental  and
other  complexities  of  designing  and  constructing  a golf course on Athol  Island,  Kerzner  will
postpone commencement of construction on this element to occur no later than 31st December, 2005.

3.     REDUCTION OF INCENTIVES
