RELINQUISHMENT AGREEMENT:

In February 1998, the Authority and Trading Cove Associates (“TCA”) entered into a relinquishment agreement (the “Relinquishment Agreement”). Effective January 1, 2000, the Relinquishment Agreement superseded a then-existing management agreement with TCA requiring, among other things, that the Authority make certain payments to TCA out of, and determined as a percentage of, Revenues, as defined under the Relinquishment Agreement, generated by Mohegan Sun over a 15-year period. The Authority, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to the accounting for contingencies, recorded a $549.1 million relinquishment liability at September 30, 1998 based on the estimated present value of its obligations under the Relinquishment Agreement. The Relinquishment Agreement expired on December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, no amount was outstanding under the Relinquishment Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the relinquishment liability was $25.2 million. The decrease in the relinquishment liability during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was due to $25.2 million in relinquishment payments and a $243,000 relinquishment liability reassessment credit. This reduction in the relinquishment liability was offset by $227,000 representing the accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability.

Relinquishment payments consisted of the following (in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014
Principal	$	24.4	$	29.1
Accretion of discount	0.8		2.1
Total	$	25.2	$	31.2

The accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability reflects the accretion of the discount to the present value of the relinquishment liability for the impact of the time value of money. As of June 30, 2015, no relinquishment payment was earned but unpaid. As of September 30, 2014, relinquishment payments earned but unpaid were $13.2 million.
