Developer as its  representative  under any  Architectural  and/or  Engineering  Agreements in
order to allow the Developer to supervise,  direct,  control,  and  administer  the duties and
activities and functions of the Architect(s) and/or Engineers.

        4.3    Design and Construction  Budget.  The Developer,  with the assistance and input
               --------------------------------
 of the Architect, shall establish the Budget for the design,  construction and the furnishing
 and  equipping  of the  Project  prior to the  commencement  of design of the  Project by any
 Architect.  The  Budget  shall be  reviewed  by the  Business  Board and  recommended  to the
 Authority to be approved in writing by the  Authority  within 15 days of receipt,  or, absent
 written notice of disapproval, they shall be deemed to have been approved.

         The Developer  may revise the Budget from time to time, as necessary,  to reflect any
 unpredicted significant changes,  variables or events or to include significant,  additional,
 unanticipated  items of expense.  The Developer  may,  without the approval of the Authority,

 item and to make such other  modifications  to the Budget as the  Developer  deems  necessary
 other than increases to the overall  Budget amount or which require  allocation of the Budget
 contingency or which materially alter the Plans and  Specifications  which have been approved
 by the Authority.  In addition,  the Developer may approve change orders  provided  Developer
 gives the Authority  prior written  notice of any proposed  change order together with a copy
 of such  order and a  statement  as to  whether  the  change  order  will  result in a budget
 increase and the Authority  does not  disapprove  such change order in writing within fifteen
 (15) days of receipt of such notice.

         Budget  adjustments which otherwise vary from the terms of this Agreement shall, upon
the  request of the  Developer  and  evaluation  of the  Business  Board,  require the written
approval of the Authority.  The Authority  acknowledges that the Budget is intended only to be
a reasonable  estimate of the Project's  construction and development costs and expenses.  The
Developer  shall  not be  deemed  to have  made  any  guarantee,  warranty  or  representation
whatsoever in connection with the Budget.

        4.4    Concept   Design   and   Engineering.    The   Authority,    based   upon   the
               -------------------------------------

 and  describe  the  size  and  character  of the  Project  as to  architectural,  structural,
 mechanical  and electrical  systems,  materials and such other elements as may be appropriate
 (the "Design Development  Documents").  Further, the Architect shall advise the Developer and
 update  any  preliminary  estimate  of  construction  costs and any  budgets  for  furnishing
 equipment to the Project.  The  Developer  shall submit to the Business  Board for review and
 recommendation and to the Authority,  for its review and approval,  finalized versions of the
 Design Development Documents prepared by the Architect and agreed to by the Developer.

Board  and  approval  by the  Authority,  construction  documents  consisting  of  preliminary
drawings and  specifications  setting forth the general  requirements  for construction of the
Gaming  Facility.  It is likely that  construction  will commence  before final detailed plans
and  specifications  ("Plans and  Specifications")  have been  completed.  The Architect shall
proceed with  completion of the Plans and  Specifications  as they relate to the  construction
of portions  of the Project in the order such  portions  are to be  completed  or in the order
required  for  sequential  completion,  and shall  proceed  with  completion  of all Plans and
Specifications as soon as reasonably  possible given  construction  scheduling and progress of
the  work.  The  Architect   shall  advise  the  Developer  and  the  Business  Board  of  any
adjustments to previous estimates of construction cost, schedules, and/or budgets.

        4.8    Plans   and   Specifications.   As   portions   of  the   detailed   Plans  and
               -----------------------------
Specifications  are completed for segments of the  construction of the Project,  the Architect
shall  be  required  to  submit   duplicate   copies  of  those  portions  of  the  Plans  and
Specifications  to the  Developer,  Business  Board and the Authority  periodically  for their
prompt review and approval.

               -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The Project shall be designed and  constructed  so as to adequately  protect the  environment
 and the public health and safety.  The design,  construction  and  maintenance of the Project
 shall,  except  to the  extent a  particular  requirement  or  requirements  may be waived in
 writing by the  Authority,  meet or exceed all  reasonable  minimum  standards  pertaining to
 Tribal,  state or local building codes,  fire codes and safety and traffic  requirements (but
 excluding  planning,  zoning  and land use laws,  ordinances,  regulations  and  requirements
 unless  applicable)  which would be imposed on the Project by applicable  New York or Federal
 statutes  or  regulations  or local  ordinances  or codes which  would be  applicable  if the
 Project were  located  outside of the  jurisdictional  boundaries  of the Tribe,  even though
 those requirements may not apply within the Tribe's jurisdictional  boundaries.  In addition,
 those  mitigation  steps  specified  in  the   environmental   assessment  and  the  National
 Environmental  Policy Act ("NEPA") documents shall be taken. To the extent that the Tribe may
 adopt more stringent requirements,  those requirements shall govern. The Architect's contract
 shall provide that the Architect shall certify to the Authority  compliance with the NEPA and
 all other applicable environmental and cultural resource laws and regulations.  The Authority
 shall be responsible for and shall certify to appropriate  governmental  agencies  compliance
 with  the  NEPA  and all  other  applicable  environmental  and  cultural  resource  laws and
 regulations.  Nothing  in this  Section  4.9  shall  grant  to the  State  of New York or any
 political  subdivision  thereof any  jurisdiction  (including but not limited to jurisdiction
 regarding  zoning or land use) over the Property or the  development  and  management  of the
 Project.

Financial  Assistance  shall be  nonreimbursable.  In addition,  the Developer may suspend its

Property  in an  amount  not to exceed  Three  Million  ($3,000,000.00)  Dollars.  The  amount
contributed  by  the  Developer  toward  the  purchase  price  of  the  Property  will  not be
reimbursable to the Developer from the proceeds of the financing or otherwise.

ordinance  applicable to the Developer.  This  provision is not intended to relieve  Developer
of its obligations under Section 8.8.

        8.2    Progress  Reports and Meetings.  The Business Board shall have monthly meetings

without  limitation,  updates to the Project Schedule and Budget, any claims or disputes,  the

               --------------------

training  of all  initial  employees  performing  regular  services  in  connection  with  the
management,  operation and  maintenance of the Project on the  Completion  Date. No later than
sixty  (60) days prior to the  anticipated  Completion  Date of the  Project  (or any  portion
thereof that will be opened for business),  the Developer  shall submit to the Authority,  for
its approval,  a detailed  staffing  plan for all  personnel  necessary to operate the Project
(or portion  thereof) in a first class  manner,  which  staffing plan shall  include,  without
limitation,  organizational charts, a job classification system with job descriptions,  salary
levels and wage  scales  (the  "Staffing  Plan").  The  Staffing  Plan shall be subject to the
Authority's  review and  approval  (which  approval  may be withheld in its sole and  absolute
discretion) and to compliance with the Tribe's Preference Ordinance.

        (b)    All prospective employees shall be subject to the Authority's  approval,  which
approval may be withheld in the Authority's  sole and absolute  discretion.  All Key Personnel
and any and all other  employees as required by the Director of  Regulation  of the  Authority
shall be subject to  background  checks to be performed by the  Authority  (and the  Authority
shall  have  the  right  to  reject  any  candidate  for any  position  based  on the  results
thereof).  In order to maximize  the  benefits of the Project to the Tribe and the  Authority,
the Developer  shall act in compliance  with the Tribe's  Preference  Ordinance in recruiting,
training and  recommending  candidates  for  employment to the  Authority,  to the extent such
preference  is  consistent  with  applicable  law  in  all  job  categories  of  the  Project,
including,  without  limitation,  management  positions.  The  Developer  shall  supervise all
activities  determined  necessary by the  Authority to recruit and train Tribal  members,  and
other  qualified  persons  who meet the  tribal  preference,  including,  without  limitation,
providing job fairs for members of the Tribe and clearly  specifying the tribal  preference in
all job advertisements.

        (c)    Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the contrary,  from and after the
Completion  Date of the Project (or any portion  thereof which is sooner opened for business),
all decisions  with respect to the  management,  operation and  maintenance of the Project (or
portion thereof) shall be made exclusively by the Authority.

        8.8    Suitability/Licensing  Requirements.  Subject to the provisions of this Section
               ------------------------------------
8.8 and Section 7.4 of this  Agreement,  the  Developer  and any  successors or assigns of the
Developer  shall:  (i) be subject to the  regulatory  power of the  Authority  as set forth in
the Tribal Gaming  Ordinance,  (ii)  demonstrate its suitability for a gaming license from the
Authority and (iii) maintain that  suitability  throughout the term of this Agreement.  At the
time of execution of this Agreement,  Developer has  demonstrated  to the  satisfaction of the
Tribe and the Authority that Developer's  affiliates,  including Trading Cove Associates,  and
their  respective  principals  hold Gaming  Services  Registrations  issued by the Division of
Special Revenue for the State of Connecticut (the "Gaming  Registrations"),  and that SINA and
certain of its affiliates,  and their respective  principals have been qualified for licensure
in  conjunction  with  casino  gaming  licenses  issued by the State of New Jersey  and/or the
Commonwealth  of The Bahamas (the "Gaming  Licenses").  Since the  principals of Developer and
Developer's  affiliated entities have successfully  completed  background checks and have been
qualified  for  licensure as part of the process for  granting the above Gaming  Registrations
and  Gaming  Licenses,  the Tribe and the  Authority  acknowledge  and  agree,  at the time of
execution  of this  Agreement,  that  Developer  is a suitable  company with whom to engage in
gaming  related  activities  under the Tribe's  current gaming  regulations  applicable to the
Tribe's  gaming  operations  in the State of  Wisconsin,  and is deemed  eligible for a tribal
gaming  license  when  the  Tribal  Gaming  Ordinance  licensing  process  is  in  place.  The
licensing  process set forth in the Tribal  Gaming  Ordinance  shall not be stricter  than the
certification   requirements  currently  in  effect  under  the  Tribe's  Wisconsin  licensing
process.   Continued  suitability  for  a  tribal  gaming  license  under  the  Tribal  Gaming
Ordinance during the term of this Agreement is a material condition of this Agreement.

generated  by the  Facilities  and the  amount of the  Developer  Fee paid or  payable  to the
Developer  pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (the "Monthly  Financial  Statements").  Such statements
shall be prepared in accordance  with GAAP,  consistently  applied,  and shall be certified as
true and complete by the  Authority.  Upon  reasonable  notice and at  reasonable  times,  the
Developer,  or its duly  authorized  representatives,  shall  have  on-site  access to, and be

the purpose of verifying the Monthly Financial  Statements.  In addition,  the Developer shall
have  the  right,  at  the  Developer's  expense,  to  audit  these  financial  statements  by
examination  of all or any part of the books and records of the Authority or the Facility,  as
the Developer, in its sole discretion, may require.

        (c)    Within  forty-five  (45) days  following the end of each Fiscal  Quarter during
the Term,  the Authority  shall provide to the Developer  operating  financial  statements for

its sole discretion, may require.

        (d)    Within  ninety  (90) days  following  the end of each  Fiscal  Year (or portion
 thereof) during the Term, the Authority shall provide to the Developer  operating  statements
 derived  from  audited  financials  for the  preceding  Fiscal  Year which  include,  without
 limitation,  all Revenues  generated by the  Facilities  and the amount of the  Developer Fee
 paid or payable to the  Developer  pursuant  to  Sections  9. 1 (a) (the "Year End  Financial
 Statements").  Such  statements  shall be  prepared  in  accordance  with GAAP,  consistently
 applied,  and shall be  certified  as true and complete by the  Authority  and by  nationally
 recognized  independent  auditors  selected by the Authority.  Upon reasonable  notice and at
 reasonable times, the Developer, or its duly authorized  representatives,  shall have on-site
 access to, and be entitled to photocopy,  the books and records of the Authority  relating to
 the  Facilities  for  the  purpose  of  verifying  the  Year  End  Financial  Statements.  In
 addition,  the  Developer  shall have the right,  at the  Developer's  expense,  to audit the

 due, such amounts  shall earn  interest at a rate of twelve  percent (12%) per annum from the
 due date  thereof  until the date payment is made (or if such rate of interest is not lawful,
 at the  maximum  lawful  rate of  interest).  This  Section  9.1(e)  shall  not  apply to any
 payment  of the  Developer  Fee which has been  delayed  on  account  of the  payment  of any
 Minimum Priority Distribution under Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

        (f)    In the event that (i) a Casualty Event shall have occurred,  (ii) the Developer
 has not  elected to declare a Tolling  Event  pursuant  to Section  13.20  hereof,  and (iii)
 Revenues  for any  month  in which a  Casualty  Event  continues  are  less  than the  Gaming
 Facility  Revenues for the same month of the preceding year (the "Comparative  Month"),  then
 all  proceeds  from  business  interruption  insurance  shall  be  paid to  Developer  by the
 Authority until the entire amount of the Developer Fee (based on the  Comparative  Month) due
 each month during the period of the Casualty Event is paid.

        (g)    The  Authority  shall  provide to the  Developer  annual  capital and operating
 budgets for the Project and any  revisions  thereto.  Such  budgets  shall be provided to the
 Developer  within five (5) days of the  Authority's  approval of same,  but in no event later
 than December 1st of the preceding year.

               ----
written,  and shall  continue  for a period of twenty  (20)  years  after the  opening  of the
Gaming  Facility to the general public (the "Term");  provided,  however,  that this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect until all  Developer  Fees have been paid in  accordance
with this Article 9.

Facilities  are damaged by fire or other  casualty,  the  Authority  promptly  shall cause the
Facilities  to be  replaced or restored to  substantially  the same  condition  (or better) as
immediately prior to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty;  provided,  however,  that
in no event shall the Authority be obligated to expend for any  replacement  or restoration an
amount in excess of the  insurance  proceeds  recovered by the  Authority and allocable to the
damage to the Facilities  after deduction of any amounts  required to be paid to any holder of
Indebtedness.  If insurance  proceeds are not available to the Authority for such  replacement
or  restoration,   the  Authority  shall  use  reasonable   efforts  to  obtain  financing  on
commercially  reasonable  terms  (including  terms which provide  recourse only to cash of the
Authority  and  undistributed  and  future  revenues  of  the  Authority)  to  undertake  such
replacement or restoration of the Facilities.

               ----------------
the  Developer  if the  other  party  commits  any  material  breach or fails to  perform  any
material  duty or  obligation  of this  Agreement.  Upon  learning  of a  material  breach  or
default,  the  non-breaching  party shall send written  notice of: (i) any  monetary  material
breach or default to the breaching  party within ten (10) days of learning of the breach,  and
(ii) any  nonmonetary  material  breach within thirty (30) days of learning of the breach.  If
the breaching party fails to cure the material  breach or default within  forty-five (45) days
of receipt of such written notice from the non-breaching  party, the  non-breaching  party may
terminate  this  Agreement  by providing  the  defaulting  party with a notice of  termination
(which  shall  be  immediately  effective).  Notwithstanding  the  above,  the  Tribe  and the
Authority  shall  have no  right  to  terminate  this  Agreement  for  any  reason  after  the
Completion  Date of the first Phase of the Gaming  Facility;  provided,  however,  that if the
Developer acts in bad faith or is grossly  negligent  with respect to Developer's  obligations
to perform  development  services  related to expansions  of the Project after the  Completion
Date of the  first  Phase  of the  Project,  unreasonably  refuses  to  perform  any  material
development  services related to future Phases of the Project after being reasonably  directed
to do so by the  Authority  or fails to  continue  to meet the  suitability  requirements  for
licensure  pursuant to Section 8.8 of this Agreement:  then (i) the Authority,  subject to the
provisions  of Article 12 of this  Agreement,  as its sole remedy  under this  Agreement,  may
terminate  Developer's  exclusive rights to perform development services related to expansions
of the Project as set forth in Recital F, and (ii)  Developer  shall be paid a  Developer  Fee
for the  remainder  of the Term of this  Agreement  in an annual  amount  equal to the  amount
earned by Developer  under this  Agreement  in the calendar  year  immediately  preceding  the
termination of Developer's  future services (e.g., if Developer's  annual Developer Fee in the
calendar year  immediately  preceding the  termination  of Developer's  exclusive  development
rights is $20  million,  the  annual  Developer  Fee  payable to  Developer  for each year (or
portion  thereof)  of the  remainder  of the  Term  of the  Agreement  would  be $20  million,
prorated for any partial year).

        11.2   Failure  of Tribe to  Obtain  Required  Approvals.  The  failure  of the  Tribe
               --------------------------------------------------
and/or the  Authority to obtain the  Required  Approvals by December 31, 2002 shall be grounds
for  termination  of this  Agreement by the Developer  upon written notice to the Tribe and/or
the  Authority.  Neither the Tribe nor the Authority has any liability for any funds  expended
or committed by the  Developer  under this  Agreement in the event of  termination  under this
Section 11.2.

        11.3   Failure  to Secure  Agreements  Under  Article  6. The  failure  to secure  the
               -------------------------------------------------
Financing  Agreements  and/or  Completion  Guaranty in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of
this  Agreement,  or any one of them, by December 31, 2004,  shall be grounds for  termination
of this Agreement by the Authority  upon written  notice to the  Developer.  Neither the Tribe
nor the  Authority  has any  liability  for any funds  expended or committed by the  Developer
under this Agreement in the event of termination under this Section 11.3.

       11.4    Stay of Termination  Pending  Arbitration.  If a party shall exercise its right
               -----------------------------------------
to terminate  pursuant to Sections 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 above,  and there is a material  dispute
in  arbitration  with respect to the terms of this Agreement or  circumstances  regarding such
termination  pending,  then the  termination  shall be stayed  until such time as the issue is
resolved.

                                      DISPUTE RESOLUTION

        12.1   Authority's Limited Consent to Suit. (a) The Authority,  a subordinate economic
               -----------------------------------
entity  chartered  by the Tribe  pursuant to the Tribal  Council's  power under  Article  VII,
Section 1(g) of the Tribe's  Constitution,  shares the Tribe's sovereign immunity.  Subject to
Section  12.4  below,  the  Authority  (and the Tribe on behalf  of the  Authority)  expressly
waives the Authority's  immunity from unconsented  suit,  solely for the purpose of permitting
the Developer to seek the  following  actions and remedies:  (i) the  enforcement  of an award
of actual damages by arbitration;  provided,  however, 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  those set forth in  Section  12.4  below,  (ii) the  enforcement  of a
determination  by an arbitrator  that prohibits the Authority from taking an action that would
prevent the  operation of this  Agreement or the  Developer  from  performing  this  Agreement
pursuant to its terms, or that requires the Authority to  specifically  perform any obligation
under this Agreement,  (iii) an action to compel  arbitration  pursuant to Section 12.3 and/or
to preserve  the status quo for  forty-five  (45) days during  disputes as required by Section
12.6 for which a demand notice for  arbitration  has been given  pursuant to Section 12.3, and
(iv) an action  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  Sections  13.15 and 13.18 of this  Agreement
during a pending  dispute for which a demand notice for  arbitration  has been given  pursuant
to Section  12.3,  in the event the  Authority  breaches  Section  13.15 or 13.18 prior to the
entry of an  arbitrator's  order under Section 12.3, or if the arbitrator has refused to issue
an order under Section 12.3  regarding the  enforcement  of the provisions of Section 13.15 or
13.18.  The  parties  agree that any suit  commenced  pursuant to this  Section  12.1 shall be
brought in: (a) the United States  District  Court for the Southern  District of New York (and
appeals  therefrom  shall be brought in the United  States  Circuit  Court of Appeals  for the
Second  Circuit  and the United  States  Supreme  Court) or (b) if the United  States  Federal
Courts lack  jurisdiction,  in the Supreme Court of New York (and appeals  therefrom  shall be
brought in the New York State Appellate  Courts) or, (c) if none of the foregoing  courts have
jurisdiction,  then in any court of competent jurisdiction including,  but not limited to, the
Gaming  Disputes  Court or Tribal  Court.  The  Authority,  subject to the  provisions of this
Section 12.1,  hereby:  (i) accepts the exclusive  jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts,  (ii)
irrevocably  agrees to be bound by any final judgment  (after any and all appeals) of any such
court,  and (iii)  irrevocably  waives,  to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
which it may now or hereafter  have to the laying of venue of any suit,  action or proceedings
brought in any such court,  and further  irrevocably  waives,  to the fullest extent permitted
by law,  any claim  that any suit,  action or  proceedings  brought in any such court has been
brought  in any  inconvenient  forum,  and (iv) with  respect to the  enforcement  of an award
rendered  in  an  arbitration  conducted  pursuant  to  Section  12.3,  the  Authority  hereby
irrevocably  accepts and submits to the exclusive  jurisdiction  of such Court with respect to
any  such  action,  suit  or  proceeding.  The  Authority  and the  Tribe,  on  behalf  of the
Authority,  expressly waive any requirement of exhaustion of tribal  remedies,  and agree that
they will not present any  affirmative  defense  based on any alleged  failure to exhaust such
remedies.  The limited  waiver  contained in this Section 12.1 shall be strictly  construed as
limited to the actions and remedies  contained herein against the Authority,  and shall not be
construed  as limiting the power of the  arbitrator  or the court to award  remedies  provided
for in this Agreement against any other Parties to this Agreement.

        (b)    Service of  Process.  The  Authority  hereby  appoints  CSC The  United  States
               -------------------
Corporation   Company,  80  State  Street,  Sixth  Floor,  Albany,  New  York  12207,  as  its
authorized  agent on which any and all legal  process  may be  served in any  action,  suit or
proceeding  which is  brought  in any  Court  referenced  above.  The  Authority  agrees  that
service of process upon such agent,  together  with notice of such  service  given as provided
in Section  13.6,  shall be deemed to be  effective  service of process upon it in any action,
suit or  proceeding  referred  to in this  Section  12.1.  If for any reason  such agent shall
cease to be available  to act as such,  the  Authority  agrees to designate a new agent in New
York, on the terms and for the purposes of this Section  12.1,  and the  Authority  shall,  as
soon as  practicable,  give  notice to the other  Parties  of such new agent.  Nothing  herein
shall be deemed to limit the  ability of any party  hereto to serve any such legal  process in
any other manner permitted by applicable law.

        12.2   Tribe's  Limited  Consent to Suit.  (a) If: (a) the  Authority,  or a successor
               ---------------------------------
entity formed  pursuant to Section 13.8 of this Agreement,  is no longer in existence,  or has
had its  authority to perform the  Authority's  obligations  and  responsibilities  under this
Agreement  diminished or abolished,  or (b) the arbitrator or a court  compelling  arbitration
or enforcing an  arbitrator's  award finds that the Tribe is an  indispensable  party (as that
term is defined in the rules of the American  Arbitration  Association,  the Federal  Rules of
Civil  Procedure  or the New York  Rules  of  Civil  Procedure),  so that  arbitration  cannot
proceed  unless the Tribe is  joined,  or (c) the Tribe  breaches  the  provisions  of Section
13.15  or  13.18  of  this  Agreement,  then  the  Tribe  expressly  agrees  (subject  to  the
limitations  set forth in Section 12.4 of this  Agreement) to a limited waiver of its immunity
from  unconsented  suit,  solely  for the  purpose of  permitting  the  Developer  to seek the
following  actions  and  remedies:  (i) the  enforcement  of an award  of  actual  damages  by
arbitration;  provided,  however, that the arbitrator and/or the court shall have no authority
or jurisdiction  to order  execution  against any assets or revenues of the Tribe except those
set forth in Section 12.4 below,  (ii) the  enforcement  of a  determination  by an arbitrator
that  prohibits  the Tribe from taking an action  that would  prevent  the  operation  of this
Agreement  pursuant  to its terms,  or that  requires  the Tribe to  specifically  perform any
obligation  under this Agreement,  (iii) an action to compel  arbitration  pursuant to Section
12.3 and/or to preserve the status quo for  forty-five  (45) days during  disputes as required
by Section 12.6 for which a demand notice for  arbitration  has been given pursuant to Section
12.3,  and (iv) an  action to  enforce  the  provisions  of  Sections  13.15 and 13.18 of this
Agreement  during a pending  dispute for which a demand notice for  arbitration has been given
pursuant to Section  12.3,  in the event the Tribe  breaches  Section  13.15 or 13.18 prior to
the entry of an  arbitrator's  order under  Section 12.3 or if the  arbitrator  has refused to
issue an order under  Section 12.3  enforcing the  provisions  of Section 13.15 or 13.18.  Any
action  brought  under this  Section  12.2 shall be brought in the courts set forth in Section
12.1.  The Tribe,  subject to the  provisions  of this Section 12.2,  hereby:  (i) accepts the
exclusive  jurisdiction of the aforesaid  courts,  (ii) irrevocably  agrees to be bound by any
final judgment (after any and all appeals) of any such court,  and (iii)  irrevocably  waives,
to the fullest  extent  permitted by law, any objection  which it may now or hereafter have to
the  laying of venue of any  suit,  action  or  proceedings  brought  in any such  court,  and
further  irrevocably  waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that any suit,
action or proceedings  brought in any such court has been brought in any  inconvenient  forum,
and (iv) with respect to the  enforcement of any award  rendered in an  arbitration  conducted
pursuant to Section 12.3,  the Tribe hereby  irrevocably  accepts and submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction  of such Court with respect to any such  action,  suit or  proceeding.  The Tribe
expressly  waives any  requirement of exhaustion of tribal  remedies,  and agrees that it will
not present any  affirmative  defense based on any alleged  failure to exhaust such  remedies.
The Tribe's  limited  consent to suit is expressed by a resolution of the Tribal  Council (the
"Resolution")  which  Resolution is attached as Exhibit A to this  Agreement and  incorporated
herein  solely  for  the  purpose  of  referencing  this  Section  12.2.  To  the  extent  any
inconsistency  exists  between the  provisions  of this Section 12.2 and the  Resolution,  the
provisions of this Section 12.2 shall prevail.  The limited  waiver  contained in this Section
12.2 shall be  strictly  construed  as limited to the actions and  remedies  contained  herein
against the Tribe,  and shall not be construed as limiting the power of the  arbitrator or the
court to award  remedies  provided  for in this  Agreement  against any other  Parties to this
Agreement.

        (b)    Service  of  Process.   The  Tribe  hereby   appoints  CSC  The  United  States
               --------------------
Corporation   Company,  80  State  Street,  Sixth  Floor,  Albany,  New  York  12207,  as  its
authorized  agent on which any and all legal  process  may be  served in any  action,  suit or
proceeding  which is brought in any Court  referenced to above.  The Tribe agrees that service
of process  upon such  agent,  together  with  notice of such  service  given as  provided  in
Section 13.6, shall be deemed to be effective  service of process upon it in any action,  suit
or  proceeding  referred to in this Section  12.2. If for any reason such agent shall cease to
be  available to act as such,  the Tribe  agrees to designate a new agent in New York,  on the
terms  and  for  the  purposes  of  this  Section  12.2,  and  the  Tribe  shall,  as  soon as
practicable,  give  notice to the other  parties of such new agent.  Nothing  herein  shall be
deemed to limit the ability of any party  hereto to serve any such legal  process in any other
manner permitted by applicable law.

        12.3   Arbitration.  All  disputes,   controversies,  or  claims  arising  out  of  or
               -----------
relating to this Agreement or the  termination  of this Agreement  shall be settled by binding
arbitration in accordance with the commercial  arbitration  rules of the American  Arbitration
Association  and the Federal  Arbitration  Act.  The parties  agree that  binding  arbitration
shall be the sole  remedy  as to all  disputes,  controversies,  or claims  arising  out of or
relating  to this  Agreement,  unless the parties  mutually  agree in writing  otherwise.  The
arbitrator(s)  shall  have  no  authority  to  award  consequential,  incidental  or  punitive

12.5,  without adding to, modifying or changing the terms in any respect,  and shall apply the
laws of the State of New York. All  arbitration  hearings shall be held at a place  designated
by the  arbitrator(s)  in New York,  New York.  Arbitration  shall be  initiated  by the Party
making the claim by service of a demand  notice for  arbitration  pursuant to Section  13.6 of

        12.4   Limited  Liability  of the Tribe;  Authority's  or Tribe's  Assets.  Nothing in
               ---------------------------------  -------------------------------
this  Agreement  shall  obligate  or  authorize  the payment or  encumbrance  of any assets or
revenues  of the  Authority  or the Tribe  other  than cash of the  Authority  (except  to the
extent the  Authority  can  demonstrate  such cash was  derived  from a source  other than the
Facilities) and undistributed and future revenues of the Facilities.  No director,  officer or
office holder, employee,  agent,  representative or member of the Authority or the Tribe shall
have any personal  liability for any  obligations  of either the Tribe or the Authority  under
this  Agreement  or for any claim based upon,  in respect of, or by reason of such  Agreement,
or related in any manner  whatsoever  to this  Agreement.  Except as set forth in Section 12.2
of this  Agreement,  the  Tribe  shall  not  have any  liability  for any  obligations  of the
Authority  under this  Agreement  or for any claim based upon,  in respect of, or by reason of
such obligations or their creation.

        12.5   Limit  of  Damages  Payable  by  Developer.  Notwithstanding  anything  in this
               ------------------------------------------
Agreement to the  contrary,  the  Developer  shall not be liable  hereunder for the payment of

               -----------------------------

shall have the right to assign this  Agreement  after the  completion  of the Project  without
the consent of the Authority  provided the assignee complies with the licensing  provisions of
Section  8.8 of  this  Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall  not be  assigned  by the  Authority
without the prior written  consent of the Developer  (which consent shall not be  unreasonably
withheld),  provided,  however,  that the Authority may, without the consent of the Developer,
but  subject  to any  required  approvals  of the Bureau of Indian  Affairs or its  authorized
representative,  assign this Agreement to the Tribe,  another  instrumentality of the Tribe or
an entity wholly owned by the Tribe  organized to conduct the  Authority's  gaming  enterprise
and the  business  of the  Facility  if such  assignment  is made  after the  Effective  Date,
provided  such entity has credit  worthiness  equal to or greater than the  Authority.  In the
event  of  any  such  permitted  assignment  by  the  Authority,  the  Authority's  authorized
assignee,  or the Developer,  the assigning party shall be relieved of its  obligations  under
this  Agreement  which  accrue from and after the date of the  assignment,  provided  that the
assignee  shall assume in writing the  obligations  of the assignor  under this  Agreement and
agree to perform  and be bound by the terms and  provisions  hereof  effective  from and after
the date of such assignment.

        13.9   Severability.  The  invalidity of any one or more  provisions  hereof or of any
               ------------
other  agreement or instrument  given pursuant to or in connection  with this Agreement  shall
not  affect  the  remaining  portions  of  this  Agreement  or any  such  other  agreement  or
instrument or any part thereof,  all of which are inserted  conditionally  on their being held
valid  in law;  and in the  event  that  one or more of the  provisions  contained  herein  or
therein  should be  invalid,  or should  operate to render  this  Agreement  or any such other
agreement or instrument invalid,  the parties agree to negotiate,  in good faith, to modify or
amend  such  invalid  provision  to obtain  for the  parties  the  intended  benefits  of such
provision (or this Agreement and such other  agreements and instruments  shall be construed as
if such invalid provision had not been inserted).

               -----------------
represents  the entire  agreement  between  the  parties  hereto  with  respect to the subject

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.  No waiver
of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement,  but each and every  covenant,  agreement,
