4.8.3 Reasonable Estimate Only. The Authority recognizes that the Pre-Opening Budget will be prepared well in advance of the Commencement Date and is intended only to be a reasonable estimate, subject to variation due to a number of factors, some of which will be outside of Manager’s control (e.g. the time of completion, inflationary factors and varying conditions for the goods and services required).

Thereafter, Manager shall, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each full or partial Fiscal Year, submit to the Operations Board, for its approval, a proposed Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget for the ensuing full or partial Fiscal Year, as the case may be.

4.11.2 Content. The Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget for the Enterprise shall include:

(a) a statement of estimated income and expenses, a projected balance sheet and projection of cash flow for the Enterprise for the coming Fiscal Year, with detailed justifications explaining the assumptions used therein, such operating budget to reflect the estimated results of the operation during each month of the subject Fiscal Year and the Minimum Balance which must remain in the Enterprise Bank Accounts and the House Bank as of the end of each month during the Fiscal Year to assure sufficient liquidity for working capital purposes, the House Bank and other expenditures;

(b) either as part of the statement of the estimated income and expenses referred to in the preceding clause (a), or separately, budgets for:

(c) a marketing plan, staffing plan and information technology plan for the subject Fiscal Year.

4.11.3 Review and Approval. The Operations Board’s review and approval of the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget shall proceed with all deliberate speed and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Operations Board shall review the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget on a line-by-line basis. To be effective, any notice which disapproves a proposed Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget must contain specific objections in reasonable detail to individual line items.

4.11.4 Disputed Budget Items. If the proposed Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget contain disputed budget item(s), the Authority Representatives on the Operations Board and the Manager agree to cooperate with each other in good faith to resolve objections to proposed line item(s). In the event the Operations Board and the Manager are not able to reach mutual agreement concerning objections to line item(s) within a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice of objection, the matter shall be presented to the Authority Board for final resolution. In the interim, if the Operations Board and the Manager are unable to resolve the objections to line item(s) prior to the commencement of the applicable Fiscal Year, the undisputed portions of the proposed Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget shall be deemed to be adopted and approved and the corresponding line item(s) objected to contained in the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year shall be adjusted as set forth herein and shall be substituted in lieu of the disputed line item(s) in the proposed Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget. Those line items which are in dispute shall be determined by increasing the preceding Fiscal Year’s actual expense for the corresponding line items by an amount determined by Manager which does not exceed the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, U.S. City Average, all items (1982-1984 = 100) for the Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year with respect to which the adjustment to the line item(s) is being calculated or any successor or replacement index thereto. The resulting Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget obtained in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget in effect until such time as Manager and the Operations Board have resolved the items.

4.12 Adjustments to Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget. Manager may, after notice to and approval by the Operations Board, revise the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget from time to time, as necessary, to reflect any unpredicted significant changes, variables or events or to include material, additional or unanticipated Operating Expenses. Manager may, after notice to the Operations Board, reallocate part or all of the amount budgeted with respect to any line item to another line item and to make such other modifications to the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget as Manager deems necessary, provided that the adjusted Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget shall not

exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate approved Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget without approval of the Operations Board. Manager shall submit a revision of the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget to the Operations Board for review on a quarterly basis. In addition, in the event actual Gross Revenues for any period are greater than those provided for in the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget, the amounts approved in the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget for all variable costs, including but not limited to, guest services, food and beverage, telephone, utilities, marketing and the repair and maintenance of the Facility for any month shall be automatically deemed to be increased to an amount that bears the same relationship (ratio) to the amounts budgeted for such items as actual Gross Revenue for such month bears to the projected Gross Revenue for such month. The Authority acknowledges that the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget, and Annual Capital Budget are intended only to be a reasonable estimate of the Enterprise’s Gross Revenues and Operating Expenses for the ensuing Fiscal Year. Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee concerning projected results contained in the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget.

4.12.1 Annual Capital Budget. In addition to the provisions set forth above, the Annual Capital Budget shall describe the estimated useful life and estimated replacement costs for the ensuing full or partial year, as the case may be, for the physical plant, furnishings, equipment, and ordinary capital replacement items, all of which are defined to be any items, the cost of which is capitalized and depreciated, rather than expensed, using GAAP ( “Capital Replacements”) as shall be required to operate the Enterprise in accordance with sound business practices.

Manager is authorized to take all steps and to make all expenditures from the Disbursement Account described in Section 4.20.4 (in the case of non-capitalized repairs and maintenance), or Capital Replacement Reserve described in Section 4.14 (in the case of expenditures for Capital Replacements) as it deems necessary to repair and correct any Emergency Condition, regardless whether such provisions have been made in the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget for any such expenditures. Manager shall promptly notify the Operations Board of any material expenditures made for an Emergency Condition. Design and installation of Capital Replacements shall be effected in a time period and subject to such conditions as the Operations Board may establish to minimize interference with or disruption of ongoing operations.

Manager shall establish a Capital Replacement Reserve on behalf of the Authority on the books of account of the Enterprise, and the periodic contributions of cash required by Section 4.15 shall be deposited by the Manager into an account (the “Capital Replacement Reserve”) established in the Authority’s name at a bank designated by the Operations Board in accordance with Section 4.20.1 of this Agreement. All amounts in the

Capital Replacement Reserve shall be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 4.20.6 to the extent that availability of funds, when required, is not thereby impaired. Interest earned on amounts deposited in the Capital Replacement Reserve shall be credited to the Capital Replacement Reserve and shall be available for payment of expenditures for Capital Replacements to the Facility. Manager shall draw on the Capital Replacement Reserve for Capital Replacements to purchase those items included in the Annual Capital Budget approved by the Operations Board or such emergency additions, repairs or replacements as shall be required to correct an Emergency Condition or to comply with operating standards.

4.15 Periodic Contributions to Capital Replacement Reserve. In accordance with Section 6.3 of this Agreement, Manager shall make monthly deposits on behalf of the Authority from funds otherwise due and payable to the Tribe to the extent available after the calculation of the Management Fee into the Capital Replacement Reserve in amounts equivalent to the monthly amount budgeted for Capital Replacements and Emergency Conditions for that period but in no event less than amounts equivalent to an annual rate of three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues unless otherwise agreed by the Manager and the Authority. The cash amounts required to be so deposited shall be calculated and deposited into the Capital Replacement Reserve, in arrears, no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month immediately following the month with respect to which a deposit is made. In addition, proceeds from the sale of capital items (determined to be capital items in accordance with GAAP) no longer needed for the operation of the Enterprise, and the proceeds of any insurance received in reimbursement for any items previously paid for from the Capital Replacement Reserve, may be deposited into the Capital Replacement Reserve upon receipt as determined by the Operations Board, but in any event any such deposit shall reduce the amount otherwise required by a like amount.

4.16 Use and Allocation of Capital Replacement Reserve.

consultation with Manager. The surveillance system shall be operated and maintained by the Manager. The Tribal Gaming Agency, however, shall have access to all surveillance equipment and information in order to ensure that the Facilities operated in compliance with IGRA, the Compact, and Tribal law.

4.22.1 Statements. Manager shall prepare and provide to the Authority on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, operating statements. The operating statements shall comply with all Legal Requirements and shall include an income statement, statement of cash flows, and balance sheet and statement of capital for the Enterprise in accordance with GAAP. Such statements shall include the Annual Business Plan, Annual Operating Budget and Annual Capital Budget projections as comparative statements, and which, after the first full year of operation, will include comparative statements from the comparable period for the prior year of Gross Revenues and Operating Expenses. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Authority will also promptly provide to Manager such other information concerning the business, property or financial condition of the Enterprise as Manager may reasonably request.

4.22.2 Books of Account. Manager shall maintain full and accurate books of account at an office in the Facility and at such other location as may be determined by Manager in its discretion. The Authority shall have access to the daily operations of the Enterprise and shall have the unlimited right to inspect, examine, and copy all such books and supporting business records. Such rights may be exercised through the Operations Board or through an agent, employee, attorney, or independent accountant acting on behalf of the Authority. The Tribal Gaming Agency shall also have access to the daily operations of the Enterprise and to all books and records relating thereto.

4.22.3 Accounting Standards. Manager shall maintain the books and records reflecting the operations of the Enterprise in accordance with the accounting practices of Manager in conformity with GAAP consistently applied and shall adopt and follow the fiscal accounting periods utilized by Manager in its normal course of business (i.e., a month, quarter and year prepared in accordance with the Authority’s Fiscal Year). The accounting systems and procedures shall comply with Legal Requirements and, at a minimum:

(d) permit the calculation and payment of the Management Fee described in Section 6.6;

(e) permit the calculation of annual fees due for Class II Gaming pursuant to 25 C.F.R. § 514.1 of the NIGC regulations; and

4.22.4 Annual Audit. A nationally recognized certified public accounting firm with demonstrated experience and expertise in the gaming industry selected and approved by the Authority, shall perform an annual audit of the books and records of the Enterprise and of all contracts for supplies, services or concessions reflecting Operating Expenses. Such audits shall be provided by the Authority to all applicable federal and state agencies, as required by Legal Requirements, and may be used by Manager for reporting purposes under federal and state securities laws, if required. The reasonable costs actually incurred in good faith of such audits shall be an Operating Expense.

5.1 Representation and Warranty. Subject to the exceptions hereinafter stated in Section 5.2, the Authority specifically warrants and represents to Manager that during the Term neither the Authority nor the Tribe shall act in any way whatsoever to cause or suffer any person or entity to become an encumbrancer or lienholder of the Authority property, other than Manager or Lender, or to allow any person or entity to obtain any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Manager, and, where applicable, consent from the BIA or NIGC. The Authority and Manager (to the extent within the Manager’s control) shall keep the Enterprise free and clear of all enforceable liens which may attach to the Enterprise, and the real property components of the Facility shall at all times remain the property of the United States in trust for the Tribe. If any such lien is claimed or filed, it shall be the duty of the Authority to discharge the lien within thirty (30) days after having been given written notice of such claim, either by payment to the claimant, by the posting of a bond and the payment into the court of the amount necessary to relieve and discharge the Enterprise from such claim, or in any other manner which will result in the discharge or stay of such claim. Manager is hereby authorized to act in behalf of the Authority to discharge any liens.

5.2 Exceptions. The Authority shall have the right to grant security interests in Enterprise revenues subordinated to the interests of the Manager, as well as first priority security interests in any Enterprise assets for the Financing.

6. Management Fee, Reimbursements, Disbursements, and Other Payments by Manager.

6.1 Disbursements. As and when received by the Enterprise, Gross Revenues shall be deposited in the Depository Account created pursuant to Section 4.20.3 of this Agreement. There shall, in turn, be disbursed as directed by Manager, on no less frequently than a monthly basis, for and on behalf of the Authority, funds from the Enterprise Bank Account(s) to pay, to the extent available, Operating Expenses and required deposits into the Capital Replacement Reserve for Capital Replacements. The Manager shall be responsible for assuring that the bills and expenses of the Enterprise are paid out of Gross Revenues or the proceeds of the Financing to the extent available. Subject to the reasonable approval of the Operations Board, Manager will reserve funds in the Enterprise in amounts equal to the Minimum Balance, and Manager may increase the Minimum Balance, at any time following the Commencement Date to reflect unanticipated working capital needs revealed by actual Enterprise operations.

6.2 Adjustment to Bank Account. After the disbursements pursuant to Section 6.1, any excess funds remaining in the Enterprise Bank Account(s) over the Minimum Balance, the Capital Replacement Reserve, and such additional reserves, shall be disbursed monthly in accordance with Section 6.3.

6.3 Payment of Fees and Tribe Disbursement. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month of operations, Manager shall calculate Gross Revenues, Operating Expenses, and Net Revenues of the Enterprise for the previous month’s operations and the year’s operations to date. Such Net Revenues, less any reasonable reserve requirements, shall be disbursed from the Enterprise Bank Account(s) to the extent available to pay the scheduled items to the extent due and payable and earned in the following order of priority:

(b) current principal and any other payments due pursuant to the Financing Agreements, and, if payments are due quarterly, a reserve equal to one-third (1/3) of the scheduled quarterly payment shall be deposited in a designated Enterprise Bank Account for such payment, and may be invested in accordance with Section 4.20.6;

(c) to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the Financing, recoupment payments to the Developer and the Tribe for advances under the Development Agreement;

(d) payment to the Developer of the development fee under the Development Agreement;

(e) Management Fees for the current period or any prior period to the extent of insufficient funds for the prior period; and

(f) Capital Replacement Reserve contributions as described in Section 4.15.

All remaining Net Revenues (the “Monthly Distribution Payment”) and cash from any prior period shall be distributed to the Tribe at the same time the Management Fee is paid. The priority of payments from available funds which is described in this Section 6.3 does not control the calculation of the amount of each of these obligations. The calculation of the amounts of these obligations shall be as otherwise provided by this Agreement or such other agreements pursuant to which such amount is specified. The Manager and the Authority agree that they will disburse all Net Revenues and pay all Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.3.

6.4.1 Minimum Monthly Payment. The Manager shall disburse from the Enterprise Bank Account(s) to the Tribe THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000) per month (the “Minimum Monthly Payment” ), beginning one month after the Commencement Date and continuing for the remainder of the Term. Such Minimum Monthly Payment shall be the same, and not in addition to, the minimum monthly payment required under the Development Agreement. The Minimum Monthly Payment shall be payable to the Tribe in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs, which payment shall have priority as stated in Section 6.3. If the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment will be prorated from the Commencement Date to the end of the month. Minimum Monthly Payments shall be charged against the Tribe’s distribution of Net Revenues for each month. Minimum Monthly Payments shall be made for any month during which Gaming is conducted, including those months when Gaming is conducted for only a part of a month. No Minimum Monthly Payment shall be owed for any full month during which Gaming is suspended or terminated at the Facility pursuant to Section 4.4, and the obligation to make Minimum Monthly Payments shall cease upon termination of this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence of this Section 6.4.1, Manager’s obligation to pay the Tribe the Minimum Monthly Payment is unconditional, and shall not be affected by the actual level of Net Revenues generated by the Enterprise.

6.5 Payment of Net Revenues. The Net Revenues paid to the Tribe pursuant to this Section 6 shall be payable to a Tribal bank account specified by the Tribal Legislature in a notice to Manager pursuant to Section 9.2.

6.6 Management Fee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month beginning in the first calendar month after the Commencement Date and ending on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Manager is authorized by the Tribe to pay itself from the Enterprise Bank Account(s) for seven (7) years a fee equal to thirteen and four tenths percent (13.4%) of the Net Revenues. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, any remaining Management Fee due to the Manager at the end of the Term shall be paid to Manager by the Tribe within twenty-one (21) days of the end of the Term.

6.7 Annual Statement and Adjustment of Management Fee. Within ninety (90) days following the end of the Fiscal Year in which the Commencement Date occurs and thereafter following the end of each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) until the date all Management Fees are paid, the Authority shall provide to Manager operating statements derived from audited financial statements (the “Year End Operating Statements” ) for the preceding Fiscal Year, which after a full year of operation will include comparative statements, which set forth among other things, Gross Gaming Revenues (win), Gross Revenues, Operating Expenses, Net Revenues (gaming), Net Revenues (other), Cash Flow from Operations and the amount of the Management Fee paid or payable to Manager pursuant to Section 6.6. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and shall be certified as true, complete and accurate by nationally recognized independent auditors with demonstrated experience and expertise in the gaming industry selected by the Authority after consultation with Manager. Manager shall have the right to audit these Year End Operating Statements by examination of all or any part of the books and records of the Enterprise as Manager, in its sole discretion, may require. To the extent that the Manager’s audit of the Year End Operating Statements determines that the Management Fees paid during the preceding Fiscal Year require adjustment in order to accurately reflect the amount due as provided by Section 6.6 of this Agreement, that adjustment shall be made within fifteen (15) days of notification by Manager to the Authority.

6.8 Manager’s Compensation Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to 25 C.F.R. § 531.1(i), all Gaming related fees and compensation received by Manager pursuant to this Agreement will not in the aggregate equal more than thirty percent (30%) (the “Cap”) of the Net Revenues (gaming) per annum. The parties acknowledge that all non-Gaming fees and compensation are not included in or subject to the Cap.

7.1 Enterprise Name. The Enterprise shall be operated under a business name which readily identifies the Enterprise to the public along with a reference to the Tribe or such other name as the parties may agree (the “Enterprise Name”).

7.2 Marks. Prior to the Commencement Date and from time to time during the Term hereof, Manager agrees to erect and install, in accordance with applicable codes and regulations, all signs Manager deems necessary in, on or about the Facility, including, but not limited to, signs bearing the Enterprise Name. The costs of purchasing, leasing, transporting, constructing, maintaining and installing the required signs and systems shall be part of the Pre-Opening Expenses or Operating Expenses as appropriate.

7.2.1 Tribe’s Marks. The Manager agrees to recognize the exclusive right of ownership of the Tribe or the Authority to all of the Tribe’s or the Authority’s service marks, trademarks, copyrights, trade names, patents or other similar rights or

registrations, now or hereafter held or applied for in connection therewith; these marks shall include all marks which are unique to and developed for the Gaming Facility (collectively, the “Tribe’s Marks”). The Manager hereby disclaims any right or interest therein, regardless of any legal protection afforded thereto. The Manager acknowledges that all of the Tribe’s Marks might not be used in connection with the Gaming Enterprise, and the Tribe or the Authority shall have sole discretion to determine which Tribe’s Marks shall be so used. The Manager shall not use the Tribe’s name, or any variation thereof, directly or indirectly, in connection with (a) a private placement or public sale of securities or other comparable means of financing or (b) press releases and other public communications, without the prior written approval of the Tribe.

The Authority and Manager hereby agree that in the event the Tribe, the Authority and/or Manager is (are) the subject of any litigation or action brought by any party seeking to restrain the use, for or with respect to the Enterprise, by the Tribe, the Authority and/or Manager of any Tribe’s Mark used by Manager for or in connection with the Gaming Enterprise, any such litigation or action shall be defended entirely at the expense of the Tribe or the Authority, as applicable, notwithstanding that the Tribe or the Authority may not be named as a party thereto. In the event the Tribe or the Authority desires to bring suit against any user of any Tribe’s Mark, seeking to restrain such user from using any Tribe’s Mark, then such suit shall be brought only with the consent of the Tribe or the Authority, as applicable, and at the expense of the Tribe or the Authority, as applicable, notwithstanding that such user may be a prior or subsequent user. In all cases the conduct of any suit whether brought by the Tribe and/or Manager on behalf of the Authority or instituted against the Tribe, the Authority and/or Manager shall be under the absolute control of the Tribe notwithstanding that the Tribe may not be a party to such suit. The Manager, at its sole cost, shall have the right to engage its own legal counsel and the Manager’s own counsel shall have the right to non-controlling participation in any such litigation. The Manager shall have the right at any time during the course of such litigation to withdraw from participation therein. The Authority hereby agrees to hold Manager harmless from and to indemnify Manager against any judgments or awards of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, whether such awards be in the form of damages, costs or otherwise, which Manager is required to pay and/or pays arising from the use of any Tribe’s Marks or names or similar rights or registrations for or in connection with the Enterprise; provided, however, that Manager cannot effect a settlement of such suit without the prior written consent of the Authority.

7.2.2 Manager’s Marks. The Tribe and the Authority agree to recognize the exclusive right of ownership of Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates to all Manager’s service marks, trademarks, copyrights, trade names, patents or other similar rights or registrations now or hereafter held or applied for in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any and all use of the words “Mohegan”, “Sun” or “Mohegan Sun” in any way associated with gaming, resorts, or hotels, or any and all enterprises, services or products relating thereto (collectively, the “Manager’s Marks”). The Tribe and the Authority hereby disclaim any right or interest therein, regardless of any legal protection afforded thereto. The Tribe and the Authority acknowledge that all of Manager’s Marks might not be used in connection with the Enterprise, and Manager, with the prior written consent of the Authority, shall have sole discretion to determine which Manager’s Marks shall be so used. The Tribe and the Authority covenant that in the event of termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, whether as a result of a default by Manager or otherwise, the Authority shall not hold itself out as, or continue operation of the Enterprise as Manager’s casino nor will it utilize any of Manager’s Marks or any variant thereof in the operation of its Facility. The Authority agrees that Manager or its respective representative may, at any time thereafter, enter the Facility for the sole purpose of removing all signs, furnishings, printed material, emblems, slogans or other distinguishing characteristics which are now or hereafter may be connected or identified with Manager

or which carry any Manager’s Mark and shall leave the premises in suitable condition. Without limiting the foregoing, the Authority shall not use the name “Mohegan”, “Mohegan Sun”, “Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority” or any variation thereof, directly or indirectly, in connection with (a) a private placement or public sale of securities or other comparable means of financing or (b) press releases and other public communications, without the prior approval of Manager.

The Authority and Manager hereby agree that in the event the Authority and/or Manager is (are) the subject of any litigation or action brought by any party seeking to restrain the use, for or with respect to the Enterprise, by the Authority and/or Manager of any Manager’s Mark used by Manager for or in connection with the Enterprise, any such litigation or action shall be defended entirely at the expense of Manager, notwithstanding that Manager may not be named as a party thereto. In the event the Authority desires to bring suit against any user of any Manager’s Mark, seeking to restrain such user from using any Manager’s Mark, then such suit shall be brought only with the consent of Manager and at the expense of Manager notwithstanding that such user may be a prior or subsequent user. In all cases the conduct of any suit whether brought by the Authority and/or Manager or instituted against the Authority, the Tribe and/or Manager shall be under the absolute control of Manager notwithstanding that Manager may not be a party to such suit. The Authority, at its sole cost, shall have the right to engage its own legal counsel and the Authority’s own counsel shall have the right to non-controlling participation in any such litigation. The Authority shall have the right at any time during the course of such litigation to withdraw from participation therein. Manager hereby agrees to hold the Authority harmless from and to indemnify the Authority against any judgments or awards of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, whether such awards be in the form of damages, costs or otherwise, which the Authority is required to pay and/or pays arising from the use of any Manager’s Marks for or in connection with the Enterprise; provided, however, that the Authority cannot effect a settlement of such suit without the prior written consent of Manager.

8.1 State and Local Taxes. If the State of Wisconsin or any local government attempts to impose any tax including any possessory interest tax upon any party to this Agreement with respect to the Enterprise, the Facility or the Property, the Enterprise in the name of the appropriate party or parties in interest, shall resist such attempt through legal action. This Section 8.1 shall in no manner be construed to imply that any party to this Agreement or the Enterprise is liable for any such tax.

8.2 Tribal Taxes. The Tribe agrees that neither it nor any Affiliate or representative of the Tribe will impose any taxes, fees, assessments or other charges of any nature whatsoever on payments of any debt service to any lender furnishing financing for the Facility or for the Enterprise, or on the Enterprise, the Facility, the revenues therefrom or on the Management Fee as described in Section 6.6 of this Agreement or any other payments to Manager or any of its Affiliates. The Tribe further agrees that neither it nor any Affiliate or representative of the Tribe will impose any taxes, fees, assessments or other charges of any nature whatsoever on the salaries or benefits, or dividends paid to, any of Manager’s or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, or employees, or any of the employees of the Enterprise, or any provider of goods, materials or services to the Enterprise. In accordance with Section 12, Manager retains the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement and all related agreements if it reasonably determines that any statute, law, code or regulation of the Tribe renders operation of the Enterprise, or any component thereof, uncompetitive. The Tribe agrees that, although it has the power to do so, it recognizes the importance of remaining competitive, and therefor it will not levy or assess any sales, use, room occupancy and related excise taxes, including tourism, admissions and cabaret taxes and any other taxes which are more onerous than corresponding or similar taxes which

may be imposed by the State of Wisconsin or local or county governments in the surrounding area including any goods or services supplied as Promotional Allowances. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any taxes, fees or assessments are levied by the Tribe, such taxes and assessments shall constitute Operating Expenses of the Enterprise.

Manager shall retain and supervise legal counsel, accountants and such other professionals, consultants and specialists as Manager deems appropriate to defend any such claim or cause of action. All liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in defending and/or settling any such claim or legal action which are not covered by insurance, shall be an Operating Expense, or, if incurred prior to the Commencement Date, shall be a Pre-Opening Expense. Nothing contained herein is a grant to Manager of the right to waive the Tribe’s, the Authority’s or the Enterprise’s sovereign immunity. That right is strictly reserved to the Tribe or the Authority. Any settlement of a third party claim or cause of action shall require approval of the Operations Board.

9.8 Waivers. No failure or delay by Manager, the Tribe or the Authority to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon the breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any subsequent breach of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term, or condition of this Agreement and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered or modified except by written instrument signed by the parties waiving, altering or modifying such terms. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. No waiver on one occasion shall constitute a waiver on future occasions unless specifically set forth in such waiver.

9.10 Severability. If any provision, or any portion of any provision, of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such unenforceable provision, or unenforceable portion of such provision, shall be deemed severed from the remainder of this Agreement and shall not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. If any provision, or any portion of any provision, of this Agreement is deemed invalid due to its scope or breadth, such provision shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope or breadth permitted by law. If, however, any material part of a party’s rights under this Agreement or any related agreement or instrument executed by the parties shall be declared invalid or unenforceable (specifically including Manager’s right to receive Management Fees) the party whose rights have been declared invalid or unenforceable shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party, without liability on the part of the terminating party.

The cost of defending a lawsuit pursuant to this Section as well as any liability, damages, demands, losses, costs or expenses incurred by Manager shall be a reimbursable expense where incurred prior to the Commencement Date, which the Authority agrees to reimburse Manager promptly upon request, and an Operating Expense where incurred after the Commencement Date, and shall be payable as incurred by Manager. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to waive or limit the Tribe’s or the Authority’s sovereign immunity.

Manager agrees not to interfere in or attempt to wrongfully influence the internal affairs or government decisions of the Tribal Legislature by offering cash incentives, by making written or oral threats to the personal or financial status of any person, or by any other action, except for actions in the normal course of business of Manager that relate to the Enterprise. For the purposes of this Section 10.2, if any such undue interference in Tribal affairs is alleged by the Tribal Legislature in writing and the NIGC finds that Manager has unduly interfered with the internal affairs of the Tribal Legislature and has not taken sufficient action to cure and prevent such interference, that finding of interference shall be grounds for termination of the Agreement. Manager shall be entitled to immediate written notice and a complete copy of any such complaint to the NIGC.

10.3 Prohibition of Payments to Members of Tribal Legislature. Manager represents and warrants that no payments have been or will be made by Manager or Manager’s Affiliates, to any Member of the Tribal Legislature or any Relative of a Member of Tribal Legislature for the purpose of obtaining any special privilege, gain, advantage or consideration.

10.4 Prohibition of Hiring Members of Tribal Legislature. No member of the Tribal Gaming Agency shall be employed at the Enterprise. No Member of the Tribal Legislature or Relative of a Member of the Tribal Legislature may be employed at the Enterprise or by Manager or its Affiliates without a written waiver of this Section 10.4 by the Tribe. For this purpose, the

Tribe will identify all such persons to Manager in a writing and take reasonable steps to keep the list current; Manager shall not be held responsible if any person not on such written list is employed.

10.5 Prohibition of Financial Interest in Enterprise. No Member of the Tribal Legislature or Relative of a Member of the Tribal Legislature shall have a direct or indirect financial interest in the Enterprise greater than the interest of any other member of the Tribe.

10.6 Preservation of Agreement. The Manager, the Authority and the Tribe each warrant and represent that they shall not act in any way whatsoever, directly or indirectly, to cause this Agreement to be amended, modified, canceled, or terminated, except pursuant to Section 9.26. In furtherance thereof, the Authority and the Tribe each warrant and represent that they shall not enter into any contract or agreement binding upon the Enterprise which materially adversely affects the rights and obligations of the Manager under this Agreement. The Manager, the Authority and the Tribe warrant and represent that they shall take all actions necessary to ensure that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect at all times.

10.7 Ownership of the Facility. The Tribe warrants and represents that it has created the Authority for the purpose of owning and operating the Facility and that, during the Term, the Authority shall be the owner of the Facility and the Enterprise, except for that portion of the Facility which constitutes real property and is held in trust by the United States of America for the benefit of the Tribe and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

11.1 Events of Default by the Authority. Each of the following may, at the sole and absolute discretion of Manager, be deemed to be an “Event of Default” by the Authority:

(a) The Authority shall fail to pay when due the Management Fees or any other indebtedness or obligation to Manager that the Tribe or the Authority owes or has guaranteed, and such failure to pay continues for sixty (60) days after Manager gives the Authority and the Tribe written notice thereof.

(b) The Tribe or the Authority shall be in Material Breach of any of their obligations under this Agreement not otherwise specified in this Section 11 or any other obligation referenced in this Agreement or any agreement or instrument associated with this Agreement, and such Material Breach, if susceptible to cure, shall remain uncured for sixty (60) days or such longer period as is reasonable provided the Tribe or the Authority is diligently pursuing a cure at the end of the sixty (60) day period.

(c) Any representation, covenant or warranty that the Tribe or the Authority has made under this Agreement or any agreement or instrument associated with this Agreement which is executed by the parties shall prove to have been untrue in any material respect when made or on the date of any Management Fee payment.

(d) The Tribe or the Authority denies the validity of this Agreement or any related agreement.

(e) The Tribe or the Authority shall breach any of their obligations pursuant to the Financing Agreements or shall amend the Financing Agreements or the Development Agreement where such amendment impacts the Manager’s rights or obligations, without the prior approval of the Manager, or shall take any action or omit to take any action within its reasonable control that results in any material portion of this Agreement being unenforceable.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by the Authority, and at the sole and absolute discretion of Manager, Manager may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 or suspend its obligations under this Agreement, by notice to the Tribe and the Authority from Manager, and may declare any of the Authority’s then existing or future financial obligations to Manager under this Agreement, to be immediately due and payable. In addition to the rights described in this Section 11.1, Manager may exercise any other rights and remedies available to Manager by law (including any equitable remedies) or agreement.

11.2 Events of Default by Manager. Each of the following may be deemed an “Event of Default” by Manager:

(a) Manager shall fail to make payments required by this Agreement, and such failure shall continue for sixty (60) days after the Authority gives Manager written notice thereof.

(b) Manager shall be in Material Breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement and such Material Breach, if susceptible to cure, shall remain uncured for sixty (60) days or such longer period as is reasonable provided Manager is diligently pursuing a cure at the end of the sixty (60) day period.

(c) Any representation or warranty that Manager has made under this Agreement shall prove to have been untrue in any material respect when made.

If any Event of Default by Manager occurs, the Authority may, upon written notice to Manager, exercise any rights and remedies available to the Authority by law (including any equitable remedies) or agreement.

12.1 Voluntary Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual written consent and approval of the parties.

12.2 Termination upon Event of Default. Either Manager or the Authority may terminate this Agreement if the other party commits or allows to be committed an Event of Default under this Agreement, provided, however, that the discontinuance or correction of an Event of Default prior to notice of termination shall constitute a cure thereof. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, all outstanding and future Management Fees and all other financial obligations of the Authority to Manager, to the extent payable and not previously paid, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the default rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and the Authority shall remain liable to Manager for the full amount of all Management Fees that would otherwise be due if this Agreement had not been terminated. The Authority shall be entitled to retain all non-refundable fees previously paid to it pursuant to this Agreement.

12.3.1 Consequences of Manager’s Termination by the Authority. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by the Authority for an Event of Default under Section 11.2, Manager shall not, prospectively from the date of termination have the right to its Management Fee from the Enterprise, but such termination shall not affect Manager’s rights relating to recoupment and reimbursement of monies owed to Manager under this Agreement, or any other agreements entered pursuant hereto. Any Net Revenues accruing through the date of termination shall be distributed in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. The Manager and the Authority acknowledge and agree that termination of this Agreement may not be a sufficient or appropriate remedy for breach by the Manager, and further agree that pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 18, the Authority shall, upon breach of

this Agreement by the Manager, have the right to pursue such remedies (in addition to termination) at law or equity as it determines are best able to compensate it for such breach, including specifically actions to require payment of the Minimum Monthly Payment. The Manager specifically acknowledges and agrees that there will be irreparable harm to the Authority and that damages will be difficult to determine if the Manager commits a Material Breach, and the Manager therefore further acknowledges that an injunction and/or other equitable relief will be an appropriate remedy for any such breach. In any event, the Authority shall have the right to all payments due to the Authority accruing until the date of termination. In the event that an arbitrator, or other finder of facts of competent jurisdiction, determines that the Authority has arbitrarily, capriciously or improperly declared a breach when none in fact exists, punitive damages may be awarded against the Authority in such amount as justice may require.

12.3.2 Consequences of Termination by the Manager. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Manager (i) under Sections 4.4 or 8 or (ii) for an Event of Default under Section 11.1, Manager shall not be required to perform any further services or obligations under this Agreement and the Authority shall indemnify and hold Manager harmless against all liabilities of any nature whatsoever relating to the Enterprise; provided, that in the event of termination under (i) of this sentence, such indemnification shall be limited to liabilities resulting from acts within the control of the Authority or the Tribe or their agents or created by the termination of this Agreement. Manager and the Authority acknowledge and agree that termination of this Agreement will not be a sufficient or appropriate remedy for breach by the Authority, and further agree that pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, including but not necessarily limited to, Section 18, Manager shall, upon breach of this Agreement by the Authority, have the right to such remedies (in addition to termination) at law or equity as it determines are best able to compensate it for such breach, including, without limitation, specifically actions to require payment of the Management Fee pursuant to Section 6 for a term equal to the then remaining Term of this Agreement at the percentage of Net Revenues specified in Section 6. The Authority specifically acknowledges and agrees that there may be irreparable harm to Manager and that damages will be difficult to determine if the Authority commits a Material Breach, and the Authority therefore further acknowledges that an injunction and/or other equitable relief may be an appropriate remedy for any such breach. In any event, Manager shall have the right to and the Authority shall immediately pay to Manager the Management Fee accruing until the date of termination as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, and any other amounts owed to the Manager by the Authority or the Tribe. In the event that an arbitrator, or other finder of facts of competent jurisdiction, determines that the Manager has arbitrarily, capriciously or improperly declared a breach when none in fact exists, punitive damages may be awarded against the Manager in such amount as justice may require.

12.4 Involuntary Termination Due to Changes in Legal Requirements Agreement. It is the understanding and intention of the parties that the establishment and operation of the Enterprise shall conform to and comply with all Legal Requirements. If during the Term of this Agreement, the Enterprise or any material aspect of Gaming is determined by the Congress of the United States, the Department of the Interior of the United States of America, the NIGC, or the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful under federal law or state law, the obligations of the parties hereto shall cease, and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect; provided that:

(a) Manager shall have the rights described elsewhere in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to payment of the Management Fee for the full Term as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement;

(b) Except as provided in Section 12.4(c) below, Manager, the Authority and the Tribe shall retain all money previously paid to them pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement;

(c) Any money owed to Manager or its Affiliates shall be repaid to Manager or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of the governing agreement including, without limitation, this Agreement;

(d) The Authority shall retain its interest in the title (and any lease) to all Enterprise assets, including all fixtures, supplies and equipment, subject to the rights of Manager pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to any requirements of the Financing Agreements; and

(e) Manager shall have the right to payment of any monies due and owing as of the date of the change in Legal Requirements; and

(f) Manager shall have the option to continue its interest in this Agreement and recommence operation of Gaming if, at some point during the Term of this Agreement, such recommencement is consistent with all Legal Requirements.

12.5 Manager’s Right to Terminate Agreement. Manager may terminate this Agreement by written notice effective upon receipt if:

(a) Any Tribal, State or Federal authority where approval is required fails to approve this Agreement or otherwise objects to the performance by Manager of any obligation imposed on it under this Agreement;

(b) Manager has been notified by any regulatory agency that the performance by it of any obligation imposed by this Agreement will jeopardize the retention of any license, or approvals granted thereunder, held by Manager or any of its Affiliates in any other jurisdiction, and the Authority refuses to allow Manager to immediately rectify any such complaint;

(c) Manager has reason to believe that the performance by it, the Authority or the Tribe of any obligation imposed under this Agreement may reasonably be expected to result in the breach of any Legal Requirement and the parties have been unable to agree upon waiver of such performance within ten (10) days written notice by Manager; or

(d) There is a change in any Legal Requirement which materially affects Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section 12.5 shall impair the rights of Manager (i) to fees, repayment or payments of all amounts otherwise due to Manager under this Agreement, including but not limited to the Management Fee, and unpaid principal and interest on all monies loaned to the Authority or the Tribe whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise as if this Agreement had not been terminated, and (ii) to retain all fees previously paid to Manager by the Authority.

12.6 Notice and Opportunity to Cure. The Authority will give Manager notice of any alleged violation of the Tribal Gaming Ordinance by Manager and sixty (60) days opportunity to cure before the Tribal Gaming Agency may take any action based on such alleged violation.

13. Conclusion of the Management Term. Upon the conclusion or the termination of this Agreement, Manager shall have the following rights and obligations:

13.1 Transition. Manager shall take reasonable steps for the orderly transition of management of the Enterprise to the Authority or its designee pursuant to a transition plan as described in Section 19.2 of this Agreement; such transition period shall be for a reasonable period but not less than thirty (30) days.

13.2 Undistributed Net Revenues. If the Enterprise has accrued Net Revenues which have not been distributed under Section 6 of this Agreement, Manager shall receive that Management Fee equal to the Management Fee it would have received had the distribution occurred during the Term of the Management Agreement.

14.1 Tribe. Where approval or consent or other action of the Tribe is required, such approval shall mean the written approval of the Tribal Legislature evidenced by a resolution thereof, certified by a Tribal official as having been duly adopted, or such other person or entity designated by resolution of the Tribal Legislature. Any such approval, consent or action shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14.2 Manager. Where approval or consent or other action of Manager is required, such approval shall mean the written approval of the Manager. Any such approval, consent or other action shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14.3 Authority. Where approval or consent or other action of the Authority is required, such approval shall mean the written approval of the Authority Board, evidenced by a resolution thereof, certified by a Tribal official as having been duly adopted, or such other person or entity designated by resolution of the Authority Board. Any such approval, consent or other action shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

15.1 Officers of Manager. Manager warrants that on the date of this Agreement its Affiliates, Management Board members and executive officers are those listed at Exhibits D, E and F.

15.2 Warranties. Manager further warrants and represents as of the date of this Agreement that Manager is a wholly-owned instrumentality of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut, a federally-recognized tribe.

15.3 Criminal and Credit Investigation. Manager agrees that all of its Management Board members and executive officers (whether or not involved in the Enterprise), shall:

(a) Consent to background investigations to be conducted to the extent required by the IGRA, the Compact and the Tribal Gaming Ordinance;

(b) Be subject to licensing requirements in accordance with all Legal Requirements and this Agreement;

(c) Consent to a background, criminal and credit investigation to be conducted by or for the NIGC, if required;

(e) Disclose any information requested which would facilitate the background and financial investigations.

Any materially false or deceptive disclosures or failure to cooperate fully with such investigations by an employee of Manager or an employee of the Authority shall result in the immediate dismissal of such employee. The results of any such investigation may be disclosed to federal officials and to such regulatory authorities as required by law.

15.4 Disclosure Amendments. Manager agrees that whenever there is within the meaning of 25 CFR Part 502 and Part 537, et. seq: (i) any material change in the information disclosed pursuant to this Section 15; (ii) any change in the person or entity responsible for the

management contract; (iii) any change in a person who is a director of a corporation that is a party to the management contract; (iv) any change in the entity or person with a financial interest in the management contract; or (v) any other person or entity with a direct or indirect financial interest in the management contract otherwise designated by the NIGC, Manager shall notify the Tribe and the NIGC of such change not later than ten (10) business days following the change or within ten (10) business days after it becomes aware of such change. In accordance with 25 C.F.R. § 537.2, Manager shall submit to the NIGC the background information required in 25 C.F.R. § 537.1 within ten (10) business days of any such proposed change in financial interest and in sufficient time to permit the NIGC to complete its background investigation by the time the individual is to assume management responsibility for, or the management contractor is to begin managing, the gaming operation. All of the warranties and agreements contained in this Section 15 shall apply to any person or entity who would fall under any of the aforementioned changes.

15.5 Breach of Manager’s Warranties and Agreements. Material Breach of any warranty or agreement of Manager contained in this Section 15 shall be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement; provided that (i) if a breach of the warranty contained in Section 15.2(b) is discovered, and such breach was not disclosed by any background check conducted by the FBI as part of the NIGC or other federal approval of this Agreement, or was discovered by the FBI investigation but all officers and directors of Manager sign sworn affidavits that they had no knowledge of such breach, then Manager shall have thirty (30) days after notice from the Authority to terminate the interest of the offending person or entity and, if such termination takes place, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (ii) if a breach relates to a failure to update changes in financial position or additional gaming related activities, then Manager shall have thirty (30) days after notice from the Authority to cure such default prior to termination.

16. Obligations of the Tribe Also Obligations of Authority. Each and every obligation related to any representation, warranty or covenant of the Tribe contained in this Agreement shall also be a direct and primary obligation of the Authority to the same extent as if the representation, warranty or covenant had been expressly made by the Authority.

17. No Joint Venture. The parties further agree and acknowledge that it is not their intent, and that this Agreement shall not be construed, to create a joint venture between the Authority and Manager or the Tribe and Manager; rather, Manager shall be deemed to be an independent contractor for all purposes hereunder.

18.1 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. The Tribe, Authority and Manager each, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, expressly and irrevocably waives its and their sovereign immunity (and any defense based thereon) from suit for the purpose of permitting or compelling arbitration as provided in this Section 18 and consents to the jurisdiction of and to be sued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the United States Courts of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court for the purpose of compelling arbitration or enforcing any arbitration award or judgment with respect to any dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument related to or referenced by this Agreement, or the Tribal Gaming Ordinance, or any rules, actions or decisions of the Tribe or the Tribal Legislature. If the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin lacks jurisdiction, the Authority consents to be sued in the Wisconsin State Court system or any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Tribe, Authority and Manager each hereby waive any requirement of exhaustion of tribal remedies. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Authority expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any court, to take such action, including, without limitation, repossessing any property and equipment giving effect to any judgment entered; provided, however, that in no instance shall any enforcement of any kind

whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the Tribe other than the limited assets of the Authority specified in Section 18.3(a) below, and no decisions or actions reserved exclusively to tribal governments by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, or other federal law or regulation, shall be subject to arbitration. Neither the Authority nor the Manager waives any aspect of its sovereign immunity with respect to actions by third parties other than an Affiliate. Except for the limited waiver of sovereign immunity provided by Manager pursuant to this Section 18.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of sovereign immunity by the Mohegan Tribe and in no instance shall any enforcement of any kind whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the Mohegan Tribe other than the Management Fees of Manager under this Agreement.

18.2 Arbitration. All disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or other obligation between the parties other than those disputes related to approval of budgets and issuance of licenses by the Tribal Gaming Agency, including, but not limited to, the Tribal Gaming Ordinance, or any rules, actions or decisions of the Authority Board, the Tribal Legislature, or the Operations Board, including, but not limited to, the failure to comply with any standard of conduct required by this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date demand for arbitration is made, and the Federal Arbitration Act. The parties agree that binding arbitration shall be the sole remedy as to all disputes arising out of this Agreement, except for disputes requiring injunctive or declaratory relief.

(a) Choice of Law. In determining any matter the Arbitrator(s) shall apply the terms of this Agreement, without adding to, modifying or changing the terms in any respect, and shall apply Wisconsin law or federal law, where applicable (excluding Tribal law).

(b) Place of Hearing. All arbitration hearings shall be held at a place designated by the arbitrator(s) in Kenosha, Wisconsin or at such other place agreed to by the parties.

(c) Confidentiality. The parties and the arbitrator(s) shall maintain strict confidentiality with respect to the arbitration.

18.2.1 No Arbitration of Governmental Action. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to subject to arbitration the prerogative of the Tribe or any of its instrumentalities or agencies to take any Governmental Action; provided however, that nothing herein shall impair Manager’s contractual remedies set out in this Section 18 of this Agreement with respect to any Governmental Action.

18.3 Limitation of Actions. The Tribe’s, Authority’s and Manager’s waiver of sovereign immunity from suit is specifically limited to permitting, and does permit the following actions and judicial remedies:

(a) Damages. The enforcement of an award of money and/or damages; provided that the arbitrator(s) and/or the court shall have no authority or jurisdiction to order execution against any assets or revenues of the Authority except undistributed or future Net Revenues, Furnishing and Equipment or accounts receivable of the Enterprise. In no instance shall any enforcement of any kind whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the Authority other than the limited assets of the Authority specified in this Section 18.3. The enforcement of any award of money and/or damages against the Manager shall be limited to the Management Fees as specified in Section 18.2.

(b) Consents, Approvals and Representations. The enforcement of a determination by an arbitrator that the Authority’s or Manager’s consent or approval has been unreasonably withheld contrary to the terms of this Agreement or that the Authority or Manager has breached any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement.

(c) Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance. The enforcement of a determination by an arbitrator that prohibits the Tribe, Authority or Manager from taking any action that would prevent the other from performing its obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or that requires the Authority or Manager to specifically perform any obligation under this Agreement (other than an obligation to pay money except as provided for in Section 18.3(a)).

(d) Action to Compel Arbitration. An action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 18.

18.4 Notice and Right to Cure. The parties agree that, without limiting any right to acceleration or demand for payment set forth in this Agreement, before the dispute resolution mechanisms described in this Section 18 may be utilized, the party claiming breach or damage shall give written notice of the alleged breach or damage to the other party, and both shall make a serious effort to meet, cure any breach, and otherwise make a good faith effort to resolve any differences.

18.5 Cooperation. The Authority and Manager hereby agree to ensure that their respective representatives to the Operations Board shall cooperate reasonably and fully and shall try to reach agreement or compromise on all matters before the Operations Board. In the event that the Operations Board is unable to reach agreement or compromise on any matter that reasonably may be expected to have an adverse material effect on the Enterprise, that matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration.

18.6 Performance During Disputes. It is mutually agreed that during any kind of controversy, claim, disagreement or dispute, including a dispute as to the validity of this Agreement, Manager shall continue to possess the rights, duties, and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and the Authority and Manager shall continue their performance of the provisions of this Agreement and its exhibits. Manager and the Authority agree that the Enterprise Bank Accounts shall not be subject to attachment or any rights of deduction or set off or counterclaim by either party. Manager and the Authority shall each be entitled to injunctive relief from a civil court or other competent authority to maintain such rights, duties, and obligations in the event of a threatened eviction during any dispute, controversy, claim or disagreement arising out of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 18.6 to the contrary, if the dispute involves the revocation of Manager’s license, Manager will suspend performance of its managerial duties under this Agreement; however, the Enterprise will continue to pay the Management Fee into an off-reservation third party interest-bearing escrow account until such time that the dispute is resolved.

18.7 Tribal Court. The Tribe and the Authority agree that (i) no party to this Agreement shall be required to commence or pursue any proceeding with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement in any Tribal Court of the Tribe, (ii) such Tribal Court shall lack the discretion to refuse to compel arbitration among the parties to any such dispute, and (iii) such Tribal Court shall be obligated to honor and enforce any award by any arbitrator, without review of any nature by such Tribal Court.

19.1 Negotiations of New Agreement. On or before the date that is two (2) years prior to the expiration of the Term, the Authority shall give Manager notice of its intent regarding its willingness to enter into negotiations for a new management agreement to be effective upon the conclusion of this Agreement and approval by the NIGC.

19.2 Transition Plan. If the Authority and Manager are unable to agree to the terms of a new management agreement or if the Authority decides not to enter into negotiations for a

new management agreement, then the Authority and Manager shall agree upon a transition plan within thirty (30) days notice from the Authority of its intention not to negotiate a new management agreement, including a computer transition plan, which plan shall be sufficient to allow the Authority to operate the Enterprise and provide for the orderly transition of the management of the Enterprise.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. All agreements, covenants, representations, and warranties, express or implied, oral or written, of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are contained herein. No other agreements, covenants, representations, or warranties, express or implied, oral or written have been made by any party to the other with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. All prior and contemporaneous conversations, discussions, negotiations, possible and alleged agreements and representations, covenants and warranties with respect to the subject matter hereof, are waived, merged herein and superseded hereby. Each party affirmatively represents that no promises have been made to that party which are not contained in this Agreement, and the exhibits, and stipulates that no evidence of any promises not contained in this Agreement, and the exhibits, shall be admitted into evidence on their behalf. This Agreement shall not be supplemented, amended or modified by any course of dealing, course of performance or uses of trade and may only be amended or modified by a written instrument duly executed by officers of both parties.

21. Government Savings Clause. Each of the parties agrees to execute, deliver and, if necessary, record any and all additional instruments, certifications, amendments, modifications and other documents as may be required by the United States Department of the Interior, BIA, the NIGC, the office of the Field Solicitor, or any applicable statute, rule or regulation in order to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue or preserve the respective rights, obligations, liens and interests of the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, that any such additional instrument, certification, amendment, modification or other document shall not materially change the respective rights, remedies or obligations of the Authority or Manager under this Agreement or any other agreement or document related hereto.

22. Standard of Reasonableness. Unless specifically provided otherwise, all provisions of this Agreement and all collateral agreements and actions necessary to implement or enforce any such agreement or provision shall be governed by a standard of commercial reasonableness and good faith. Obligations of any party to use best efforts will also be qualified by a standard of commercial reasonableness and good faith.

23. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in six (6) counterparts, two (2) to be retained by each party. Each of the six (6) originals is equally valid. This Agreement shall be deemed “executed” and shall be binding upon the parties when properly executed and approved by the Chairman of the NIGC.

24. Reliance on Charter; Non-Impairment of Contracts. This Agreement has been entered into by Manager in reliance on Section 10, entitled “SPECIAL PROVISIONS PROTECTING RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES” of the Authority’s Charter, and Manager shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of such Charter. Notwithstanding any other provision of tribal law, the Tribe represents and warrants that it shall enact no law impairing the obligations of contracts entered into by the Tribe or the Authority in furtherance of the development, construction, operation, or promotion of Gaming at the Facility and shall enact no law impairing the obligations of the Tribe or the Authority under this Agreement or the rights of Manager hereunder.

25. Guaranty. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Tribe hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Manager that (i) all representations and warranties made by the Authority or the Tribe in this Agreement are true and correct, (ii) all of the

covenants and obligations of the Authority under this Agreement will be performed, and (iii) all amounts payable by the Authority to the Manager under this Agreement will be paid in full, to the extent available, on or before the date when due.
