Preliminary Statement

The City selected Developer to develop, construct, own and operate a Casino Complex pursuant to a certain Request for Proposals/Qualifications. The City, the EDC and Developer are currently the parties to the Amended Agreement, which sets forth their mutual rights and obligations with respect thereto, and the Conveyance Agreement, which provides for the purchase by Developer from the EDC of the Riverfront Site, upon which the Casino Complex was planned to be constructed.

The parties have agreed that: (i) Developer will develop, construct and operate the Casino Complex on a site located within the Boundaries and will not acquire the Riverfront Site; (ii) the Conveyance Agreement will be terminated; and (iii) the Amended Agreement will be revised to read as set forth herein. This Agreement constitutes a revision to the Amended Agreement and a continuation of the relationship among the parties as established pursuant to the Amended Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that the Amended Agreement is revised to read as set forth in this Agreement. To the extent that the Amended Agreement distinguished between a "Temporary Casino" and a "permanent" Casino Complex, such distinction is eliminated by this Agreement and the Casino Complex owned and operated by Developer as of the date this Agreement is executed shall be deemed Developer's "permanent" Casino Complex. Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 15.

2. Design and Construction of Casino Complex

2.1 No Responsibility for City

The City shall have no responsibility for any error or omission in the Design Documents, or for failure of the Design Documents, or a part thereof, to comply with Governmental Requirements, or for Design Documents that result in or cause a defective design or construction.

2.2 Casino Complex

(a) Developer shall (i) construct the Casino Complex either as new construction or as a combination of new construction and existing structures or new construction and modifying existing structures, (ii) diligently operate and maintain the Casino Complex and all other support facilities in a manner consistent with First Class Casino Complex Standards, the Act and all other Governmental Requirements and in compliance with this Agreement, and (iii) upon execution of this Agreement, provide to the City a document (including pictures, diagrams or illustrations) which illustrates Developer's concept for the Casino Complex and demonstrates the First Class Casino Standards.

(b) The Gaming Area shall be 100,000 square feet. Due to the imprecise ability to measure Gaming Area, City and EDC agree that if in good faith Developer measures its gaming floor area in a manner that differs from City's measurement of gaming floor area by ten percent (10%) or less, such variance shall not be considered a violation of this Section 2.2. Additionally, such variance shall not be deemed to be an amendment to or revision of this Agreement requiring the consent described in Section 14.25.

(c) Developer shall develop and construct the following Components, as more particularly described in Section G of Exhibit A, on or about the same time, as appropriate, based upon Developer's construction plans:

(1): hotel with a minimum of four hundred (400) rooms (the "Initial Hotel Component");
(2): theater;
(3): ballroom/convention area;
(4): restaurants, lounges and bars;
(5): adequate retail space; and
(6): adequate parking.

(d) Developer shall expand the Initial Hotel Component by constructing Additional Hotel Rooms, provided, however, that Developer's obligation to construct the Additional Hotel Rooms shall be subject to the occurrence of all of the following: (i) market conditions indicate that the Additional Hotel Rooms can be operated at a reasonable profit for a casino hotel operation; (ii) Developer's ability to acquire additional land, if necessary, on which to construct the Additional Hotel Rooms; and (iii) availability of financing to Developer, upon conventional terms reasonably satisfactory to Developer, necessary to construct the Additional Hotel Rooms. If Developer does not commence construction of the Additional Hotel Rooms on or before five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Developer shall provide the City with a written account of the reasons for not having commenced construction of the Additional Hotel Rooms. If the City disagrees with Developer's written account, the dispute shall be settled through arbitration. However, if hotel occupancy in the City of Detroit is below 75%, then it will be prima facie evidence that market conditions do not warrant further construction and the arbitration procedure will not be applicable. If the City prevails in such arbitration, the Developer shall be obligated to promptly commence and complete the Additional

Hotel Rooms. In its site plan to be delivered to the City pursuant to Section 2.6, Developer shall delineate the approximate location at which the Additional Hotel Rooms will be constructed.

(e) Developer may develop, construct and operate Components of the Casino Complex through leasing, joint venture or other contractual arrangements with third parties, pursuant to which the ownership and operation of selected Components is vested in affiliated or independent entities; provided, however, that the arrangements comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements and; provided, further, that in all such cases Developer obtains contractual commitments from all such third parties to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Developer shall be liable for any non-compliance by such third parties as if such Component were owned and operated by Developer.

2.3 Permits

Developer shall diligently prepare and file all applications for, and pursue and use diligent efforts to obtain, the Permits. At Developer's request, the City will provide to Developer a City representative to (x) cooperate with and assist Developer in securing the Permits and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the issuance of the Permits; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall adversely affect, limit, restrict or reduce the right of the City or the County, as Governmental Authorities, to exercise their respective governmental powers and authority and to act in regulatory matters in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements. If Developer requests that the City provide a City representative, Developer shall pay City for all documented fees and reasonable expenses of City for the services of the City representative and the City representative's staff, to the extent the City representative and staff are providing services to the Casino Complex.

2.4 Quality of Work

All Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with good construction and standard industry practices. All materials used in the construction of the Casino Complex shall be of first class quality. The quality of the Finish Work shall meet or exceed First Class Casino Complex Standards.

2.5 Construction and Scheduling

(a) Developer will comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements in the development, construction and financing of the Casino Complex and will achieve Completion on or before December 31, 2005 and Final Completion on or before Final Completion Date. Upon Completion, the Casino Complex will conform to First Class Casino Standards and to all applicable Governmental Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer's obligation to achieve Completion by the Completion Date and Final Completion by the Final Completion Date is subject to: (i) Force Majeure and (ii) there being be no order or ruling from a court of competent jurisdiction which would deprive Developer of a material portion of the economic benefits anticipated from its Casino Complex.

(vii): Detailed cost estimates for construction.

2.7 Approval by City

Wherever an approval is required of City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the approval or disapproval shall be given in writing, which in the case of disapproval, shall set forth the reasons of disapproval.

declare or pay any dividends or make any other payments or distributions to any members of Developer or their respective Affiliates, except for Permitted Affiliate Payments.

In addition, for purposes of this Section 3.8, a "Permitted Transfer" includes a Transfer or series of related Transfers by Atwater Casino Group, L.L.C. and/or Local Partners which, when aggregated, equals forty-nine percent (49%) or less of the ownership interest of Atwater Casino Group, L.L.C. in Developer.

(b) Notice of all summons, citations, directives, complaints, notices of violation or deficiency, and other communications from any Governmental Authority other than City or the Board, asserting a material violation of Governmental Requirements applicable to the Casino Complex.

(c) Notices received by Developer from the Board which in Developer's reasonable opinion assert a material violation of the Act.

3.10 Veracity of Statements

Except (i) as otherwise indicated herein; and (ii) for statements of third parties (other than Affiliates) which Developer has reasonable grounds to believe are accurate and for projections which Developer has reasonable grounds to believe are reasonable, no representation or warranty of Developer, or any certification or report furnished by Developer to City and/or EDC pursuant hereto which, if not materially accurate, would have a material adverse effect on the Casino Complex, when read in conjunction with the other representations, warranties and certifications, contains or will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact, or will omit any material fact that would cause such representation, warranty, statement or certification to be materially misleading, provided that representations, warranties and certifications made as of a specified date shall reflect facts and circumstances known to Developer as of such specified date.

3.11 Use of Casino Complex

So long as casino gaming activities would be permitted by law to operate at the Casino Complex (assuming the existence of a valid Casino License), the primary business to be operated at the Casino Complex (wherever it may be located) shall include casino gaming activities. The obligations of Developer under this Section shall lapse and be of no further force or effect on and after April 9, 2033.

3.12 Financing

(a) Developer agrees to deliver to City for City's review, but not approval, relevant documents relating to a Financing. The City must be satisfied in its reasonable judgment that any "Material Adverse Change or Condition" clause or clause of similar import that condition funding of the financing will not impair Developer's ability to achieve Completion of its Casino Complex by the Completion Date. Delivery by Developer of Parent Company's Guaranty and Keepwell shall be prima facie evidence that the "Material Adverse Change or Condition" clause or clause of similar import will not impair Developer's ability to achieve Completion of the Casino Complex by the Completion Date.

(b) Developer agrees that it shall not enter into any Mortgage unless such Mortgage shall provide that (i) the Mortgagee shall not transfer or assign its interest in any Mortgage without City's prior written consent, except to a Suitable Lender; and (ii) if, as the result of a Loan Default, the Mortgagee forecloses upon or otherwise acquires all or part of Developer's interest in the Casino Complex, the Mortgagee (or the Nominee of the Mortgagee) shall expressly accept and agree to assume all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement contained to be kept, observed and performed by Developer and become bound to comply therewith. As used in this Agreement, the word "Nominee" shall mean a Person who is designated by Mortgagee to act in place of the Mortgagee solely for the purpose of holding title to the Casino Complex and performing the obligations of Developer hereunder.

(c) In no event may Developer or any Finance Affiliate represent that City is or in any way may be liable for the obligations of Developer or any Finance Affiliate in connection with (i) any financing agreement or (ii) any public or private offering of securities. If Developer or any Finance Affiliate shall at any time sell or offer to sell any securities issued by Developer or any Finance Affiliate through the medium of any prospectus or otherwise that relates to the Casino Complex or its operation, Developer shall (i) first submit such offering materials to City for review with respect to Developer's compliance with this Section 3.12(c) and (ii) do so only in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and shall clearly disclose to all purchasers and offerees that (y) the City shall not in any way be deemed to be an issuer or underwriter of such securities, and (z) the City and its officers, directors, agents, and employees have not assumed and shall not have any liability arising out of or related to the sale or offer of such securities, including any liability or responsibility for any financial statements, projections or other information contained in any prospectus or similar written or oral communication. Developer agrees to indemnify, defend or hold the City and its respective officers, directors, agents and employees free and harmless from, any and all liabilities, costs, damages, claims or expenses arising out of or related to the breach of its obligations under this paragraph.

3.13 Riverfront Site Closeout

(a) The Conveyance Agreement is hereby terminated, and no party thereto shall have any further obligations thereunder. Developer hereby releases and conveys to the City all its right, title and interest, if any, in the Riverfront Site.

(b) Developer shall continue to provide credit enhancement for the Riverfront Bonds and shall make all required payments of principal and interest thereon. Developer hereby releases and

forever waives all of its rights, title and interest in, if any, the use of the proceeds held in the Riverfront Bond Fund. Developer may pre-pay, at its option, the principal of the Riverfront Bonds at any time as provided in the indenture for the Riverfront Bonds. The City will cooperate with Developer in continuing to maintain the Riverfront Bonds in good standing.

(c) At the Closing, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(a)(6), Developer will provide the documentation described in Section 1.4(a)(6) with respect to the Railroad Property.

(d) Except as and to the extent set forth in the Indemnity Agreement, Developer's obligations set forth in Sections 3.13(a), (b) and (c) are in full discharge of all its obligations relating to the Riverfront Site. Developer shall have no other liability or obligation, if any, with respect to the Riverfront Site, or the condemnation, acquisition, optioning or ownership of the Riverfront Site by the City and the EDC, or the relocation of businesses located therein, or any other matter related to or arising out of the foregoing. By way of example, and not of limitation, Developer shall have no obligation to City or EDC to contribute to the purchase of property, the relocation of businesses, the maintenance of the Riverfront Site, the payment of environmental claims or costs, or the payment of inverse condemnation claims or other claims by landowners. Nothing contained in either this Section 3.13(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission by any party as to the existence of any such liability or obligation on the party of the City, EDC or Developer and all of such claims are expressly denied.

(e) The City and EDC agree to execute and provide at the Closing the form of release as attached hereto as Exhibit 3.13(e)(2). The Developer agrees to execute and provide at the Closing the form of release as attached hereto as Exhibit 3.13(e)(1).

continuing throughout the term of this Agreement (the "Payment Period"). If in any calendar year during the Payment Period Developer's aggregate Adjusted Gross Revenues for such year equals Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000) (the "Target Amount"), then commencing on the date such Target Amount is reached and continuing to the end of that calendar year, the Percentage Payment shall be increased to two percent (2%). Additionally, within ten (10) Business Days of the date the Target Amount is reached, Developer shall pay to the City an amount equal to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000).

In addition, the requirements of Section 3.14(a) are in consideration of the City's agreement pursuant to Section 2.2 to defer Developer's obligation to construct the Additional Hotel Rooms as required under the Amended Agreement. Developer hereby releases any rights it may have to demand repayment of any such funds previously paid and no such funds shall offset any amounts otherwise payable to the City by Developer.

(c) The Developer's obligations under Section 3.14(a) shall be suspended for so long as there exists any order or injunction issued by any court having proper jurisdiction in the matter, which order or injunction either (i) revokes or suspends Developer's Casino License for reasons beyond Developer's control; or (ii) enjoins Developer or anyone on its behalf from operating the Casino on Developer's behalf.

(d) The City agrees to establish the Minority Business Development Fund from the funds received from Developer under Section 3.14(a)(ii), together with (x) funds in the same amounts which the City will require to be paid by the other Detroit Casino Developers and (y) an additional Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) from other funds received hereunder from Developer and all other Detroit Casino Developers under their respective development agreements.

5. Other Obligations of City

5.1 Re-Selection

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.1, "Triggering Event" means the ineligibility of Developer to operate the Casino as a result of a non-appealed judgment or court order or any re-selection process undertaken by the City as a result of any court judgment or order, other than a court judgment or court order issued in connection with any action resulting from the City's enforcement of its rights under this Agreement.

(b) The City agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to have three casino developers as permitted under the Act. Accordingly, in the event a Triggering Event occurs, the City agrees to reselect a developer (a "New Developer") with which the City will enter into a development agreement (a "New Agreement") for the development of a Casino Complex, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.1(c).

(c) The New Agreement will require that the New Developer purchase from Developer Developer's assets, business and operations relating to the Casino Complex (including any uncompleted portions of the Casino Complex), as a going concern, at their fair market value. Such fair market value shall be determined by an investment banker knowledgeable in casino gaming matters selected by agreement of Developer and the New Developer. If Developer and New Developer cannot agree on the selection of an investment banker, the fair market value shall be

6. Default

6.1 Events of Default

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:

(a) Subject to Force Majeure, if Developer or City fails to substantially perform or comply with any commitment, agreement, covenant, term or condition (other than those specifically described in any other subparagraph of this Section 6.1) of this Agreement, including those certain covenants set forth in Section 3.5 hereof, and in such event if said defaulting party shall fail to remedy any such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of default with respect thereto; provided, however, that if any such default is reasonably susceptible of being cured within one hundred eighty (180) days, but cannot with due diligence be cured by the defaulting party within thirty (30) days, and if the defaulting party commences to cure the default within thirty (30) days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion, then the defaulting party shall not during such period of diligently curing be in default hereunder as long as such default is completely cured within one hundred eighty (180) days of the first notice of such default to said defaulting party; provided, however, that if the cure can be accomplished by the payment of money, the failure to pay is not a diligent commencement of a cure;

(b) If Developer shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due;

(c) If Developer shall file a voluntary petition under any title of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time, or if such petition is filed against Developer and an order for relief is entered, or if Developer shall file any petition or answer seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or similar statute or law, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce to or suffer the appointment of any trustee, receiver, custodian, assignee, liquidator or similar official of Developer, or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Casino Complex or any interest therein of Developer;

(d) If within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Developer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or similar statute or law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed; or if within ninety (90) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence

of Developer of any trustee, receiver, custodian, assignee, liquidator or other similar official of Developer or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Casino Complex or any interest therein of Developer, such appointment shall have not been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise, or if within ninety (90) days after the expiration of any such stay, such appointment shall not have been vacated;

(e) If any representation or warranty made by Developer hereunder is intentionally false or misleading in any material respect when made and such false or misleading representation or warranty has a material adverse effect on the Casino Complex;

(f) If a default shall occur, which has not been cured within any applicable cure period, under, or if there is any attempted withdrawal, disaffirmance, cancellation, repudiation, disclaimer of liability or contest of obligations (other than a contest as to performance of such obligations) under any agreement which guaranties the payment or performance of any of the obligations of Developer to City and/or EDC hereunder, other than as may be permitted in such agreement;

(g) Subject to Force Majeure, if in accordance with Section 9 Developer fails to maintain in full force and policies of insurance meeting the requirements of Section 9 and in such event Developer fails to remedy such default within five (5) Business Days after Developer's receipt of written notice of default with respect thereto from City;

(h) If the construction of the Casino Complex at any time is discontinued or suspended for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, subject to Force Majeure and is not restarted prior to Developer's receipt of written notice of default hereunder;

6.2 Remedies

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, upon an Event of Default, City and/or EDC, as applicable, shall have the right if it so elects: (i) to any and all remedies available at law or in equity; (ii) to terminate this Agreement; (iii) to receive liquidated damages as and to the extent set forth in this Agreement and (iv) to institute and prosecute proceedings to enforce in whole or in part the specific performance of this Agreement by Developer, and/or to enjoin or restrain Developer from commencing or continuing said breach, and/or to cause by injunction Developer to correct and cure said breach or threatened breach (a "Specific Performance Proceeding"). Except as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.5, none of the remedies enumerated herein is exclusive and nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting City and/or EDC, as applicable, from pursuing any other remedies at law, in equity or otherwise available to it under the Agreement.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, the rights and remedies of the City and EDC, as applicable, whether provided by law or by this Agreement, shall be cumulative, and the exercise by the City and/or EDC of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other such remedies for the same default or breach, to the extent permitted by law. No waiver made by the City and/or EDC shall apply to obligations beyond those expressly waived in writing.

(c) (i) Subject to Section 6.2(c)(ii) below, if the City and/or EDC, as applicable, fails to perform an act required under this Agreement within the time specified in this Agreement (or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time), Developer's sole and exclusive remedies against City and/or EDC shall be to institute and prosecute proceedings to: (x) enforce in whole or in part the specific performance of this Agreement by City and/or EDC, and/or to enjoin or restrain City and/or EDC from commencing or continuing said breach, and/or cause by injunction City and/or EDC to correct and cure said breach or threatened breach; or (y) reform this Agreement in such respects as may be determined to be equitable in light of the failure of City and/or EDC.

(c) (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(c)(i) above, with respect to any defaults or breaches by the City and/or EDC of any of their obligations under Section 5.1 or Section 14.25, Developer shall have available all rights and remedies under applicable law, in equity, or under this Agreement, on a cumulative basis, and the exercise by Developer of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other such remedies for the same default or breach.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur to which a Mandatory Sale is a remedy available to the City (a "Significant Event of Default"), the following procedures shall be applicable and shall constitute a Mandatory Sale:

(1): Following the occurrence of a Significant Event of Default which has not been cured within the time provided by this Agreement (a "Matured Significant Event of Default"), the City may, on written notice to Developer delivered within sixty (60) days following the Significant Event of Default becoming a Matured Significant Event of Default (the "Mandatory Sale Notice"), institute the procedures set forth in this Section 6.2(d); provided however; (i) if the City fails to deliver such Mandatory Sale Notice to Developer within such sixty (60) day period, the City shall be deemed to have waived the Mandatory Sale remedy with respect to that Matured Significant Event of Default, and (ii) notwithstanding the expiration of the applicable cure period, if Developer shall have cured the Matured Event of Default prior to the delivery of such Mandatory Sale Notice, the remedy of Mandatory Sale shall not be available with respect to that Matured Significant Event of Default.
(2): Following receipt of a timely Mandatory Sale Notice, Developer shall commence good faith efforts to dispose of the Casino Complex in a manner consistent with this Agreement, including satisfying all the requirements of Section 8. In effecting such disposition, Developer shall be entitled to seek to maximize its own economic return, subject to consultation with the City and taking into account the findings set forth in Section 1.1 (Findings). Subject to Section 6.2(d)(3), during the period in which Developer is endeavoring to effect the disposition of the Casino Complex in a Mandatory Sale (the "Sale Period"), it shall continue to operate the Casino Complex pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement.
(3): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for in Section 6.2(d)(2) above, the Casino Complex shall be operated during the Sale Period by a conservator qualified under the Act on the occurrence and for the duration of any of the following events: (i) Developer's Casino License is revoked by a final, non-appealable order or Developer fails to renew its Casino License; (ii) at the election of City upon written notice to Developer, if the disposition of the Casino Complex has not been completed within three (3) years following delivery of a timely Mandatory Sale Notice; (iii) at the election of City upon written notice to Developer, upon the occurrence of a Matured Significant Event of Default other than the one giving rise to the Mandatory Sale Notice.

(4): Prior to completion of the disposition of the Casino Complex pursuant to a Mandatory Sale, Developer and City may mutually agree to terminate the disposition process, in which event the Mandatory Sale Notice shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and to be of no force or effect.
(5): For purposes of Section 6.5(b)(2), the term "Shortfall Amount" shall mean the amount, if any, by which the (x) City's share of the Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the operation of the Casino Complex during the Sale Period is less than the lesser of (1) eighty percent (80%) of the (x) City's share of the Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the operation of the Casino Complex for the full twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding the delivery of the Mandatory Sale Notice (or if the Casino Complex has been open for fewer than twelve (12) months, for that number of full calendar months that it has been opened) divided by twelve (12) (or such fewer number of full months in which the Casino Complex has been open) and multiplied by the number of full calendar months of the Sale Period; or (2) eighty percent (80%) of fifty percent (50%) of the (x) City's share of the Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the operation of the other Detroit Casino Complexes during the Sale Period; provided however, in no event shall the Shortfall Amount exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). By way of illustration, if: (i) the Sale Period is eighteen (18) months; (ii) the (x) City's share of Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the Casino Complex during the twelve (12) month period preceding the Sale Period is Twenty-Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000); (iii) the (x) City's share of the Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the Sale Period is Twenty-Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000); and (iv) eighty percent (80%) of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate of the (x) City's share of the Wagering Tax and (y) Municipal Services Fee derived from the other Detroit Casino Complexes during the Sale Period is Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000), then the Shortfall Amount computed under clause (1) would be Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,800,000) ($1.6 million multiplied by 18, i.e. $28.8 million; reduced by $24 million), and the Shortfall Amount computed under clause (2) would be Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) ($30 million reduced by $24 million). Since the computation under clause (1) produces a lower number than the computation under clause (2), the Shortfall Amount computed under clause (1) would apply.

(e) If the City elects to receive liquidated damages upon the occurrence of an Event of Default enumerated in Section 6.5(a) or (e), Developer shall pay to City as the sole remedy of the City and as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), an amount per calendar day for each calendar day during the "Damage Period," as hereinafter defined, equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). For purposes of this Section 6.2(e), the Damage Period shall commence on the date the City delivers written notice to Developer of its election to receive liquidated damages pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or (e) and shall continue until the date that such default is cured. The foregoing limitation on City's remedies shall in no way limit or diminish City's rights or remedies under the Guaranty and Keep Well Agreement.

(f) EDC agrees that (1) it has no right to, and shall not attempt to elect to exercise or exercise any remedy on behalf of the City under this Agreement and Guaranty and Keep Well Agreement and (2) it shall not elect to exercise or exercise any remedy under this Agreement and Guaranty and Keep Well Agreement without the consent of the Mayor.

6.3 Termination

Except for the provisions that by their terms survive, this Agreement shall terminate as provided in this Agreement.

6.4 Liquidated Damages

City, EDC and Developer covenant and agree that because of the difficulty and/or impossibility of determining City's and/or EDC's damages upon certain Events of Default and breaches of this Agreement as set forth in Sections 2.5(a), 6.2(d) and 6.2(e), by way of detriment to the public benefit and welfare of the City through lost employment opportunities, lost tourism, degradation of the economic health of the City and loss of revenue, both directly and indirectly, Developer shall pay to City, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum or sums set forth in Sections 2.5(a), 6.2(d) and 6.2(e) that pertain to the specified Event of Default.

6.5 Limitation of Remedies

City's and EDC's remedies under Sections 6.2(a) and (b) for and only for the Events of Default enumerated below in this Section 6.5, shall be limited as follows:

(a) Upon an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(a) due to the breach by Developer of any of its obligations specified in Section 1.4 (Closing) or Section 6.1(k), City may elect either to (i) institute a Specific Performance Proceeding; and/or (ii) (x) receive liquidated damages from Developer calculated as set forth in Section 6.2(e); and/or (y) terminate this Agreement and require a Mandatory Sale.

(b) Upon an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(a) due to a breach by Developer of any of the following obligations specified in this Section 6.5(b), City may elect either to (i) institute a Specific Performance Proceeding; and/or either (ii) require a Mandatory Sale and receive the Shortfall Amount as liquidated damages from Developer; or (iii) receive actual damages from Developer: Section 3.10 (Veracity of Statements); Section 3.11 (Use of Casino Complex); failure of Developer to complete the Restoration as required under Section 11 (Damage and Destruction); or upon an Event of Default arising under Sections 6.1(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (j).

(c) Upon an Event of Default arising under Section 3.3 (Radius Restriction) by Developer and/or Parent Company, City may elect either to (i) institute a Specific Performance Proceeding and/or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

(d) Upon an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(a) due to the breach by Developer of any of its obligations under Section 3.1 (Casino Complex Operations), City may elect either to (i) institute a Specific Performance Proceeding and/or (ii) receive actual damages from Developer, provided however, that if in a Specific Performance Proceeding, the arbitrator or arbitrators determine that Developer is not maintaining or operating the Casino Complex in a manner consistent with First Class Casino Complex Standards, but are unable or unwilling to fashion a specific performance remedy, in lieu thereof the arbitrator or arbitrators may require Developer to increase its spending for capital improvements or maintenance by Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) over the ensuing twelve (12) month period (the "Initial Period"). If during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Initial Period (the "Subsequent Period"), the City, by reason of an additional Event of Default under Section 6.1(a) due to a breach by Developer of any of its obligations under Section 3.1, initiates a Specific Performance Proceeding, and the arbitrator or arbitrators determine that Developer is not maintaining or operating the Casino Complex in a manner consistent with First Class Casino Complex Standards, but are unable or unwilling to fashion a specific performance remedy, in lieu thereof the arbitrator or arbitrators may require Developer to increase its spending for capital improvements or maintenance by One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) over the ensuing twelve (12) month period.

(e) Upon an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(i), City may elect either to (i) institute a Specific Performance Proceeding; and/or either (ii) require a Mandatory Sale and

receive the Shortfall Amount as liquidated damages from Developer; (iii) receive actual damages from Developer; or (iv) receive liquidated damages from Developer.

The foregoing limitations on City's and EDC's remedies under Section 6.5 shall in no way limit or diminish any other right of City or EDC under this Agreement or otherwise, including City's or EDC's rights or remedies (x) under the Guaranty and Keep Well Agreement, or under any other guaranty, indemnity, instrument or agreement or (y) under Sections 3.6 (Default Rate), 6.2(d) and (e), Section 7 (City's right to perform Developer's covenants), Section 9 (Insurance) or Section 11 (Damage and Destruction).

7. City's Right to Perform Developer's Covenants

If Developer at any time shall fail to take out, pay any insurance premiums for, maintain or deliver any of the insurance policies in the manner provided for herein, or shall fail to pay any sums, costs, expenses, charges, payments or deposits to be paid by Developer hereunder after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, City, without waiving or releasing Developer from any obligation of Developer contained in this Agreement or waiving or releasing any rights of City hereunder, at law or in equity, may (but shall be under no obligation to) pay any such sums, costs, expenses, charges, payments or deposits payable by Developer hereunder. All sums paid by City and all costs and expenses incurred by City in connection with the performance of any such obligation, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the respective dates of City's making of each such payment or incurring of each such sum, cost, liability, expense, charge, payment or deposit until the date of actual repayment to City, shall be paid by Developer to City on demand. Any payment or performance by City pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be nor be deemed to be a waiver or release of breach or default of Developer with respect thereto or of the right of City to take such other action as may be permissible hereunder, at law or in equity if an Event of Default by Developer shall have occurred. The City's rights under this Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

8. Transfers

8.1 Transfer of Development Agreement

Developer shall not, whether by operation of law or otherwise, Transfer this Agreement or the Casino Complex to a site that is not a Qualified Casino Complex Site without the prior written consent of the Mayor and City Council; provided, however, that the Mayor and City Council's right to consent to the Transfer of the Casino Complex shall be of no further force and effect at such time as the business operated at the Casino Complex no longer includes gaming activities.

8.2 Transfer of Ownership Interest

(a) For purposes of this Section 8.2, "Restricted Owner" means (i) Developer and (ii) any Person who directly or indirectly owns or holds any interest in Developer or any Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component other than any Person who would be a Restricted Owner due solely to that Person's ownership of (x) a direct or indirect interest in a Publicly Traded Corporation or (y) a five percent (5%) or less direct or indirect interest in (1) Developer unless, in the case of clause (y), upon completion of any Transfer the transferee will in the aggregate own or hold a five percent (5%) or more direct or indirect ownership interest in Developer, or (2) the Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component. The covenants that Developer is to perform under this Agreement for City's benefit and the services that each Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component renders with respect to the Casino Complex are personal in nature. City and EDC are relying upon Developer and the Casino Component Manager/Operators in the exercise of their skill, judgment, reputation and discretion with respect to the Xxxxxx

Xxxxxxx. From and after the Execution Date under the Amended Agreement, any Transfer by a Restricted Owner of (x) any direct ownership interest in Developer or any Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component, whether held by virtue of partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other form of entity; or (y) any ownership interest in any Restricted Owner, whether held by virtue of partnership, limited liability company, corporation or through other form of entity shall require the prior written consent of City, provided that with respect to a Transfer by any Restricted Owner other than a Transfer by Developer, any Affiliate of Developer or any Affiliate of any Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component, City shall not withhold its consent to any Transfer unless the transferee (i) is in default on any debts due City, EDC or any other entity (a "Municipal Supported Entity") that receives or received any City funding or subsidy to carry out its activities; (ii) has defaulted on any other material obligations to City, EDC or any Municipal Supported Entity whether or not such default has been cured; or (iii) has engaged in any frivolous litigation or made any frivolous claims against City as determined by a court, or has been found liable to the City for abuse of process or malicious prosecution with respect to claims against the City.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall prevent a Transfer of (x) an ownership interest in a Restricted Owner by: (i) Parent Company or an Affiliate of Parent Company to an entity which has succeeded to all or a substantial portion of the assets of Parent Company or such Affiliate; or (ii) any Person (1) to that Person's spouse, child or parent ("Family Members"); (2) to an entity whose beneficial owners consist solely of such transferor and/or the Family Members of the transferor; (3) to the beneficial owners of the transferor if the transferor is an entity; (4) to any Person who owns any direct or indirect interest in any Restricted Owner; (5) to any Person to whom the City previously has consented to a Transfer; (6) by operation of law; and (7) to an institutional lender on account of a pledge to such lender or (y) an ownership interest in Developer or Restricted Owner or in any Affiliate of Developer or Restricted Owner in connection with a public offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act.

(d) Developer shall notify City as promptly as practicable upon Developer becoming aware of any Transfer.

(e) Developer agrees to (x) include in all Casino Component Management Agreements of a Component a transfer restriction provision substantially similar to the transfer restriction set forth in this Section 8.2 and to cause the Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component to acknowledge that City is a third-party beneficiary of such provision; and (y) cause each Restricted Owner, other than a Publicly Traded Corporation, to (1) place a legend on its ownership certificate, if any, or include in its organizational documents, a transfer restriction provision substantially similar to the transfer restriction set forth in this Section 8.2 and (2) either enforce such provision or acknowledge that City is a third-party beneficiary of such provision.

9. Insurance

9.1 Maintain Insurance

Developer shall maintain in full force and effect the types and commercially reasonable amounts of insurance as set forth on Exhibit 9.1 to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates. Self insurance shall be permitted in accordance with First Class Casino Complex Standards.

9.2 Form of Insurance and Insurers

Whenever, under the terms of this Agreement, Developer is required to maintain insurance, City shall be additional named insureds in all such insurance policies to the extent of their insurable interest, if

any. All policies of insurance provided for in this Agreement shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies, in commercially reasonable form issued by responsible insurers which are authorized to transact business in the State, having a Best rating of not less than A+ or its equivalent from another recognized rating agency. As soon as practicable following the Closing date, Developer shall deliver to City a copy of each policy, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to City that the full premiums have been paid or provided for at least the first year of the term of such policies. Thereafter, as promptly as practicable prior to the expiration of each such policy, Developer shall deliver to City an Accord certificate, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to City that the full premiums have been paid or provided for at least the renewal term of such policies and as promptly as practicable, a copy of each renewal policy.

9.3 Other Policies

Developer shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Agreement unless City is an additional named insured therein to the extent of its insurable interest, if any, with loss payable as provided in Section 9.2. Developer shall as promptly as practicable notify City of the taking out of any such separate insurance and shall cause copies of the original policies in respect thereof to be delivered as required in Section 9.2.

9.4 Insurance Notice

Each such policy of insurance to be provided hereunder shall contain, to the extent obtainable on a commercially reasonable basis, (a) a provision that no act or omission of Developer which would otherwise result in forfeiture or reduction of the insurance therein provided shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay City the amount of any loss sustained to the extent of its insurable interest, if any, and (b) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to City.

9.5 Keep in Good Standing

Developer shall observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of public liability, fire and other policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Casino Complex and Developer shall so perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies.

9.6 Blanket Policies

Any insurance provided for in this Article may be provided by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Developer covering the Casino Complex and other properties owned or leased by Developer; provided, however, that the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Casino Complex shall be such as to furnish in protection the equivalent of separate policies in the amounts herein required without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other premises covered therein, and provided further that in all other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with the other specific insurance provisions set forth herein and Developer shall make such policy or policies or a copy thereof available for review by City at the Casino Complex.

10. Environmental

10.1 Representations and Warranties

Developer, as a further inducement to the City to enter into this Agreement, makes the following representations and warranties:

(1): Neither Developer nor anyone affiliated with the Developer has disposed, stored, discharged, treated, or released any hazardous substance or waste, as defined in the Environmental Laws in violation of any Environmental Law, at, on, in, under, to or from the Railroad Property; and
(2): Developer acknowledges that the Railroad Property is subject to the Environmental Laws and that the Developer has, at all times during its ownership of the Railroad Property, complied with the Environmental Laws applicable to the Railroad Property.

10.2 Indemnity

Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from any and all claims or demands (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting directly or indirectly from violation of Section 10.1.

10.3 Survival

The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be merged with any deed.

11. Damage and Destruction

11.1 Damage or Destruction

In the event of damage to or destruction of improvements at the Casino Complex or any part thereof by fire, casualty or otherwise, Developer, at its sole expense and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient therefor, shall promptly repair, restore, replace and rebuild (collectively, "Restore") the improvements, as nearly as possible to the same condition that existed prior to such damage or destruction using materials of an equal or superior quality to those existing in the improvements prior to such casualty. All work required to be performed in connection with such restoration and repair is hereinafter called the "Restoration." Developer shall obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy as soon as practicable after the completion of such Restoration. If neither Developer nor any Mortgagee shall commence the Restoration of the improvements or the portion thereof damaged or destroyed promptly following such damage or destruction and adjustment of its insurance proceeds, or, having so commenced such Restoration, shall fail to proceed to complete the same with reasonable diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, City may, but shall have no obligation to, complete such Restoration at Developer's expense. Upon City's election to so complete the Restoration, Developer immediately shall permit City to utilize all insurance proceeds which shall have been received by Developer, minus those amounts, if any, which Developer shall have applied to the Restoration, and if such sums are insufficient to complete the Restoration, Developer, on demand, shall pay the deficiency to City. Each Restoration shall be done subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

11.2 Use of Insurance Proceeds

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, all proceeds of casualty insurance on the improvements shall be made available to pay for the cost of Restoration if any part of the improvements are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty. All such insurance proceeds, less the cost of collection, shall be paid into a trust account to be created by

an independent third party ("Insurance Trustee") to be chosen by (i) the First Mortgagee if the Casino Complex is encumbered by a First Mortgage or (ii) Developer and City in the event there is no First Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of when the proceeds are to be made available. Nothing herein shall prohibit the First Mortgagee from acting as the Insurance Trustee. If Developer or City for whatever reason, cannot or will not participate in the selection of the Insurance Trustee, then the other party shall select the Insurance Trustee. Developer shall name the Insurance Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 11.2 as the sole loss payee on Developer's casualty insurance. If those parties who participate in the selection process cannot agree on the selection of the Insurance Trustee, either City or Developer may apply to the Circuit Court for the County for the appointment of a local bank having a capital surplus in excess of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) as the Insurance Trustee. The Insurance Trustee shall hold the insurance proceeds in trust to be disbursed in stages to pay for the cost of the Restoration, as hereafter provided. The Insurance Trustee shall deposit the insurance proceeds in an interest bearing account and any after tax interest earned thereon shall be added to the insurance proceeds. All fees and expenses of the Insurance Trustee shall be paid by Developer.

(b) Promptly following any damage or destruction to the improvements by fire, casualty or otherwise, Developer shall:

(1): give written notice of such damage or destruction to City and each Mortgagee; and
(2): deliver an agreement by Developer to complete the Restoration in a reasonable amount of time plus periods of time as performance by Developer is prevented by Force Majeure events (other than financial inability) after occurrence of the fire or casualty.

(c) After satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this Section, insurance proceeds shall be paid to Developer, or City, as the case may be, from time to time thereafter in installments, but not more frequently than once a month, upon application to be submitted from time to time by Developer to Insurance Trustee showing the cost of work, labor, services, materials, fixtures and equipment incorporated in the Restoration, or incorporated therein since the last previous application, and paid for by Developer or then due and owing. The amount of any installment to be paid to Developer shall be such proportion of the total insurance proceeds as the cost of work, labor, services, materials, fixtures and equipment theretofore incorporated by Developer into the Restoration bears to the total estimated cost of the Restoration by Developer, less all payments heretofore made to Developer out of the insurance proceeds. Upon completion of and payment for the Restoration by Developer, the balance of the insurance proceeds shall be paid over to Developer, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee named as an insured. If the estimated cost of any Restoration exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Insurance Trustee, then prior to the commencement of such Restoration or thereafter if at any time that the cost to complete the Restoration exceeds the unapplied portion of such insurance proceeds, Developer shall from time to time immediately deposit with Insurance Trustee cash funds in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Insurance Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof. If City elects to make the Restoration at Developer's expense, as provided in Section 11.1, then, as provided above with respect to Developer, Insurance Trustee shall pay over the insurance proceeds to City, from time to time, upon City's application accompanied by a certificate containing the statements required under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 11.2(d)(1), to the extent not previously paid to Developer pursuant to this Section 11.2(c), and Developer shall pay to Insurance Trustee, on demand, any sums which City certifies to be an estimate of the amount necessary to complete the Restoration, less the undisbursed insurance proceeds.

(d) The following shall be conditions precedent to each payment made to Developer as provided in Section 11.2:

(1): There shall be submitted to Insurance Trustee the certificate of the architect stating (i) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn either has been paid by Developer or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other Persons (whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished work, labor, services, materials, fixtures or equipment for the work and giving a brief description of such work, labor, services, materials, fixtures or equipment and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said Persons in respect thereof, and stating in reasonable detail the progress of the Restoration up to the date of said certificate; (ii) that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then pending request, for the withdrawal of insurance money or has been made out of the proceeds of insurance received by Developer; and (iii) that the balance of the insurance proceeds held by Insurance Trustee will be sufficient, upon completion of the Restoration, to pay for the same in full, and stating in reasonable detail an estimate of the cost of such completion.
(2): There shall be furnished to Insurance Trustee appropriate sworn statements and lien waivers (which comply with the mechanics' lien laws of the State) from all Persons receiving payment under such draw.
(3): There shall be furnished to Insurance Trustee a title search, or a similar certificate of a title insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Insurance Trustee, showing that there are no liens affecting the Casino Complex or any part thereof in connection with work done, authorized or incurred at or relating to the Casino Complex which had not been discharged of record, except such as will be discharged upon payment of the amount then requested to be withdrawn.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.2 to the contrary, insurance proceeds for any fire or casualty of less than Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) shall not be paid to the Insurance Trustee to be disbursed as provided in Section 11.2, but instead such proceeds shall be paid by the insurer directly into a segregated account established by Developer for the purpose of funding the Restoration. This account is established as an assurance fund to guarantee the completion of the Restoration. Developer retains the right to withdraw funds from this account to pay for the Restoration and to any excess funds in the account following completion of the Restoration. Upon receipt of such proceeds in the account, Developer shall promptly undertake and complete the Restoration in accordance with this Article.

11.3 No Termination

No destruction of or damage to the improvements, or any portion thereof or property therein by fire, flood or other casualty, whether such damage or destruction be partial or total, shall permit Developer to terminate this Agreement or relieve Developer from its obligations hereunder.

11.4 Condemnation

If a Major Condemnation occurs, this Agreement shall terminate, and no party to this Agreement shall have any claims, rights, obligations, or liabilities towards any other party arising after termination, other than as provided for herein. If a Minor Condemnation occurs or the use or occupancy of the Casino Complex or any part thereof is temporarily requisitioned by a civil or military governmental authority, then (a) this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; (b) Developer shall promptly perform all Restoration required in order to repair any physical damage to the Casino Complex caused by the Condemnation, and to restore the Casino Complex, to the extent reasonably practicable, to its

condition immediately before the Condemnation. If a Minor Condemnation occurs, any Proceeds in excess of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) will be and are hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the condemnor, assigned to and shall be withdrawn and paid into an escrow account to be created by an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") selected by (i) the First Mortgagee if the Casino Complex is encumbered by a First Mortgage; or (ii) Developer and City in the event there is no First Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of when the Proceeds are to be made available. If Developer or City for whatever reason cannot or will not participate in the selection of the Escrow Agent, then the other party shall select the Escrow Agent. Nothing herein shall prohibit the First Mortgagee from acting as the Escrow Agent. This transfer of the Proceeds, to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the condemnor, shall be self-operative and shall occur automatically upon the availability of the Proceeds from the Condemnation and such Proceeds shall be payable into the escrow account on the naming of the Escrow Agent to be applied as provided in this Section 11.4. If City or Developer are unable to agree on the selection of an Escrow Agent, either City or Developer may apply to the Circuit Court for the County for the appointment of a local bank having a capital surplus in excess of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) as the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Proceeds in an interest-bearing escrow account and any after tax interest earned thereon shall be added to the Proceeds. The Escrow Agent shall disburse funds from the Escrow Account to pay the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the procedure described in Section 11.2(b), (c) and (d). If the cost of the Restoration exceeds the total amount of the Proceeds, Developer shall be responsible for paying the excess cost. If the Proceeds exceed the cost of the Restoration, the Escrow Agent shall distribute the excess Proceeds, subject to the rights of the Mortgagees. Nothing contained in this Section 11.4 shall impair or abrogate any rights of Developer against the condemning authority in connection with any Condemnation. All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Developer.

12. Indemnification

12.1 Indemnification by Developer

(a) Developer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, EDC and each of their officers, agents and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees" and individually an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, claims, obligations, penalties and causes of action (including reasonable fees and expenses for attorneys, paralegals, expert witnesses and other consultants at the prevailing market rate for such services) whether based upon negligence, strict liability, absolute liability, product liability, misrepresentation, contract, implied or express warranty or any other principal of law, that are imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Indemnitees or which Indemnitees may suffer or be required to pay and which arise out of or relate in any manner to any of the following occurring prior to the Termination Date: (1) Developer's ownership, possession, use, condition or occupancy of the Casino Complex or any part thereof or any improvement thereon; (2) Developer's operation or management of the Casino Complex or any part thereof; (3) the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any material for or at the Casino Complex or any part thereof by or on behalf of Developer or enforcement of any liens with respect thereto; (4) any personal injury, death or property damage suffered or alleged to have been suffered by Developer (including Developer's employees, agents or servants), the Casino Complex Operator/Managers (including their employees, agents or servants) or any third person as a result of any action or inaction of Developer; (5) any work or things whatsoever done in, or at the Casino Complex or any portion thereof, or off-site pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by or on behalf of Developer; (6) the condition of any building, facilities or improvements at the Casino Complex or any non-public street, curb or sidewalk at the Casino Complex, or any vaults, tunnels, malls, passageways or space therein; (7) any breach or default on the part of Developer for the payment, performance or observance of any of its obligations under all agreements entered into by Developer or any of its

Affiliates relating to the performance of services or supplying of materials to the Casino Complex or any part thereof; (8) any act, omission or negligence of any tenant, or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or other tenants; and (9) any claim by a third party relating to or arising from any failure of Developer to comply with all Governmental Requirements. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee based upon any claim in respect of which Developer has agreed to indemnify any Indemnitee, Developer will upon notice from Indemnitee defend such action or proceeding on behalf of any Indemnitee at Developer's sole cost and expense and will keep Indemnitee fully informed of all developments and proceedings in connection therewith and will furnish Indemnitee with copies of all papers served or filed therein, irrespective of by whom served or filed. Developer shall defend such action with counsel it selects provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. Such counsel shall not be deemed reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee if counsel has: (i) a legally cognizable conflict of interest with respect to City or EDC; (ii) within the five (5) years immediately preceding such selection performed legal work for City or EDC which in their respective reasonable judgment was inadequate; or (iii) frequently represented parties opposing City or EDC in prior litigation. Each Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own cost, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choosing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.l(a) but further subject to Section 12.1(c) below, Developer shall not indemnify and shall have no responsibility to Indemnitees for: (i) any matter involving the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees; (ii) any matter giving rise to any liability of any of the Indemnitees prior to the April 9, 1998, except for such liabilities arising from acts or omissions undertaken by or at the request or insistence of Developer; (iii) any liability arising with respect to portions of the Casino Complex owned or under the control of the City, the EDC, or any instrumentality or subdivision thereof prior to April 9, 1998 which arises from any acts or omissions of any Indemnitee occurring prior to the April 9, 1998; (iv) liability, if any, arising from the City's or EDC's acquisition of or negotiations for the acquisition of the Riverfront Site, including causes of actions relating to condemnation or inverse condemnation by or against the City or EDC; (v) any failure by the City or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof to exercise its police and similar public safety powers with respect to the Casino Complex, but only to the extent Developer is not required to undertake or perform such services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (vi) any breach by City or EDC of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; or (vii) any liability arising with respect to any off-site infrastructure improvements owned or under the control of the City which arise from acts or omissions of the City; or (viii) any liability arising as a consequence of the City's ownership of all or any part of the Casino Complex (including the land underneath the Casino Complex) prior to Developer's acquisition of same.

(c) The foregoing exclusions from Developer's obligation to indemnify Indemnitees set forth in Section 12.1(b) above shall in no event apply to Developer's environmental indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.2.

13. Force Majeure

13.1 Definition of Force Majeure

An event of "Force Majeure" shall mean the following events or circumstances, to the extent that they delay or otherwise adversely affect the performance beyond the reasonable control of Developer, or its agents and contractors, of their duties and obligations under this Agreement, or the performance by the City or the EDC of their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement:

(a) Strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, inability to procure materials, failure of utilities, labor shortages or explosions;

(h) Unreasonable delay by the State in licensing Persons or any Component of the Casino Complex, to the extent necessary, under the Act, to the extent such delays are not based in whole or in part on the actions or failure to act of such Persons.

13.2 Notice

Developer shall promptly notify the City of the occurrence of an event of "Force Majeure" and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the event.

13.3 Excuse of Performance

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Developer shall be entitled to an adjustment in the time for or excuse of the performance of any duty or obligation of Developer under this Agreement for Force Majeure events, but only for the number of days due to and/or resulting as a consequence of such causes and only to the extent that such occurrences actually prevent or delay the performance of such duty or obligation or cause such performance to be commercially unreasonable.

EXHIBIT 3.15: FORM OF
GUARANTY

GUARANTY

This GUARANTY ("Guaranty") is made as of this day of , 2002, by Mandalay Resort Group, a Nevada corporation ("Guarantor"), having its office at 0000 Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 to and for the benefit of the City of Detroit, a municipal corporation ("City").

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Detroit Entertainment, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company ("Developer") and City have executed that certain Revised Development Agreement dated of even date herewith ("Development Agreement," with capitalized terms herein having the same meaning as therein defined, unless expressly otherwise defined herein), which Development Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which Developer has agreed to build and operate the Casino Complex; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor being the parent of one of the members of Developer, will directly and indirectly benefit from the financial success of Developer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, Guarantor, acknowledging that but for the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, City would be entitled to exercise certain rights and remedies under the Development Agreement with respect to Developer's nonperformance of, and noncompliance with, certain covenants, conditions and provisions therein, and in consideration of City's forbearance from exercising such rights and remedies and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to City the completion of the construction of the additional components to the Casino Complex, as set forth in the Development Agreement.

2. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the first date all of the additional components of the Casino Complex are open to the public for business.

3. Guarantor will maintain continuously in full force and effect and available to it resources, including unused lines of credit in its favor, in an amount reasonably sufficient to fund all amounts necessary to allow Guarantor to perform all of its obligations hereunder.

4. This is an absolute, irrevocable, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection. Upon notice to Guarantor from City that Developer has failed to perform any of the Obligations, Guarantor agrees, on demand by City to:

(a) perform and pay each and every one of the Obligations in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Development Agreement;

(b) indemnify and hold City harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, injury, liability, claim or expense City may suffer or incur by reason of any nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the Obligations; and

(c) fully reimburse and repay City for all outlays and expenses including interest thereon at the Default Rate, that City may make or incur by reason of any nonpayment or nonperformance of any Obligations, including, without limitation, all outlays and expenses that City may make or incur if City, in its sole discretion, elects to pay or perform any of the Obligations on Developer's or Guarantor's behalf.

5. Upon any Event of Default hereunder, City shall have the following rights and remedies:

(a) If City in its sole discretion choose to do so, it may perform any or all of Guarantor's obligations to be performed hereunder on Guarantor's behalf. In such event, Guarantor shall reimburse City immediately on demand for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that City may incur in performing those obligations, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the dates they are incurred until paid.

(b) In addition, City may bring any action at law or in equity or both, to compel Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder and to collect compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense which may be sustained or incurred by City as a direct or indirect consequence of Guarantor's failure to perform those obligations, including interest thereon at the Default Rate.

6. Guarantor authorizes City to perform any and all of the following acts at any time in its sole discretion, all without notice to Guarantor and without affecting Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty:

(a) With the consent of Developer, City may alter any terms of the Development Agreement, including renewing, compromising, extending or accelerating, or otherwise changing the time for performance thereunder.

(b) City may take and hold security for the Obligations, accept additional or substituted security therefor, and subordinate, exchange, enforce, waive, release, compromise, fail to perfect and sell or otherwise dispose of any such security.

(c) City may direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of any security now or later to be held for the Obligations and may also bid at any such sale.

(d) City may apply any payments or recoveries from Developer, Guarantor or any other source, and any proceeds of any security, to Developer's Obligations in such manner, order and priority as it may elect, whether or not those obligations are guaranteed by this Guaranty or secured at the time of the application.

(e) City may release Developer of all or any portion of its liability under the Obligations and the Development Agreement.

(f) City may substitute, add or release any one or more guarantors.

(g) City may consent to any assignment or successive assignments of the Development Agreement by Developer.

7. Guarantor expressly agrees that Guarantor shall not be released by or because of:

(a) Any act or event which might otherwise discharge, reduce, limit or modify Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty;

(b) Any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay or other act or omission of City, or any failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against Guarantor or any collateral, if any;

(c) Any action, omission or circumstance which might increase the likelihood that Guarantor may be called upon to perform under this Guaranty or which might affect the rights or remedies of Guarantor as against Developer; or

(d) Any dealings occurring at any time between Developer or City, whether relating to the Development Agreement or otherwise.

Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability under this Guaranty based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, agreements, waivers or matters. It is the purpose and intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of Guarantor under it shall be absolute and unconditional under

any and all circumstances; provided, however, this Guaranty shall cease upon the occurrence of a re-selection by City, as provided in Article of the Development Agreement or other event not caused by Developer, under which Developer is no longer permitted to construct and/or operate a Casino Complex in the City.

8. Guarantor waives:

(a) All statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against Guarantor by City to the fullest extent permitted by law;

(b) Any right it may have to require City to proceed against Developer, proceed against or exhaust any security held from Developer, or pursue any other remedy in its power to pursue;

(d) Any defense based on: (i) any legal disability of Developer, (ii) any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of the liability of Developer under the Development Agreement from any cause (other than the performance of the Obligations by Guarantor), whether consented to by City or arising by operation of law or from any bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, in or out of court, for the adjustment of debtor-creditor relationships ("Insolvency Proceeding"), (iii) any rejection or disaffirmance of the Development Agreement in any such Insolvency Proceeding;

(e) Any defense based on any action taken or omitted by City in any Insolvency Proceeding involving Developer, including any election to have a claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by City to Developer in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the taking and holding by City of any security for any such extension of credit; and

(f) All presentations, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, payment or nonpayment of the Obligations and demands and notices of every kind and nature.

9. City shall not be required, as a condition precedent to making a demand upon Guarantor or to bringing an action against Guarantor upon this Guaranty, to make demand upon, or to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against, Developer, any other guarantor or anyone else, or exhaust its remedies against Developer, any other guarantor or any one else, or against any collateral, if any, given to secure the Obligations. All remedies afforded to City by reason of this Guaranty are separate and cumulative remedies and it is agreed that no one of such remedies, whether exercised by City or not, shall be deemed to be exclusive of any of the other remedies available to City and shall not limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable remedy which City may have.

10. Until the obligations of Guarantor shall terminate pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation, contribution and indemnity against Developer, now or hereafter arising, whether arising hereunder, by operation of law or contract or otherwise, as well as the benefit of any collateral which may from time to time secure the Obligations, and to that end, Guarantor further agrees not to seek any reimbursement, restitution, or collection from, or enforce any right or remedy of whatsoever kind or nature in favor of Guarantor against, Developer or any other person or any of their respective assets or properties for or with respect to any payments made by Guarantor to City hereunder or in respect of the Obligations. City may, in the course of exercising any remedies available to it under the Development Agreement, at its sole option elect which remedies it may wish to pursue without affecting any of its rights hereunder. City may elect to forfeit any of its rights, even if such actions shall result in a full or partial loss of rights of subrogation which Guarantor, but for City's actions, might have had.

11. If, at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by City to any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by City for any reason, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Developer, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Developer or any substantial part of its property, Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount so rescinded or returned as though such payments had never been received by City, notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty or the cancellation of the Development Agreement evidencing the Obligations of Developer.

12. Before signing this Guaranty, Guarantor investigated the financial condition and business operations of Developer, the present and former condition, uses and ownership of the Casino Complex, and such other matters as Guarantor deemed appropriate to assure itself of Developer's ability to discharge its obligations under the Development Agreement. Guarantor assumes full responsibility for that due diligence, as well as for keeping informed of all matters which may affect Developer's ability to pay and perform the Obligations. City has no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information which it may have or receive about Developer's financial condition or business operations, the condition or uses of the Casino Complex, or any other circumstances bearing on Developer's ability to perform under the Development Agreement.

13. Except for Permitted Affiliate Payments, any rights of Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to receive payment on account of any indebtedness (including interest) owed to it by Developer, or to withdraw capital invested by it in Developer, or to receive distributions from Developer, shall, to the extent and in the manner provided herein, be subordinate as to time of payment and in all other respects to the full and prior payment and performance of Developer's Obligations to City to the extent then due. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment of any sums or distributions from Developer other than Permitted Affiliate Payments until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full to the extent then due and any such sums or distributions received in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for City.

14. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:

(a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the applicable laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, with full power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the consummation and performance by it of the transactions contemplated hereby: (1) have been duly authorized by all actions required under the terms and provisions of the instruments governing its existence ("Governing Instruments"), the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and the laws of the State; (2) create legal, valid and binding obligations of it enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof; (3) do not require the approval or consent of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, except those already obtained; and (4) do not and will not constitute a violation of, or default under, its Governing Instruments, any Government Requirements, agreement, commitment or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its assets are bound;

(c) subject to applicable gaming laws, neither it nor any of its property has any immunity from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) or the jurisdiction of any court of the United States sitting in the State or any court of the State;

(d) the financial statements of Guarantor (the "Financial Statements") heretofore delivered to City by Guarantor, are true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof, have been prepared on the accounting basis adopted by Guarantor for federal income tax purposes

(e) none of the Financial Statements or any certificate or statement furnished to City by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection herewith, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty, contains any untrue statement as of its date of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading;

(f) other than as disclosed in Guarantor's Form 10Ks and 10Qs filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against or affecting Guarantor, or to Guarantor's knowledge which involve or to Guarantor's knowledge may individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty, and Guarantor is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitration body or Governmental Authority, which default materially adversely affects the ability of Guarantor to pay and perform its obligations hereunder; and

(g) all permits, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations of, and all registrations, declarations and filings with, all Governmental Authorities (collectively, the "Consents"), if any, that are required in connection with the valid execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Guaranty have been obtained and Guarantor agrees that all Consents, if any, required in connection with the carrying out or performance of any of the transactions required or contemplated thereby (including, but not limited to, all authorizations, approvals, permits and consents) will be obtained when required in order to satisfy the obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

15. Guarantor covenants with City as follows:

(a) Guarantor will furnish to City the following:

(i) No later than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor an unaudited balance sheet and income statement, certified as true and correct by the chief financial officer of Guarantor or by any other duly authorized representative of Guarantor reasonably acceptable to City, which shall be prepared on the accounting basis adopted by Guarantor for federal income tax purposes consistently applied (except insofar as any change in the application thereof is disclosed in such financial statements).

(ii) No later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor an audited balance sheet and income statement prepared in accordance with GAAP.

None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to City by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading.

(c) Guarantor agrees, upon the reasonable request of City, to do any act or execute any additional documents as may be reasonably required by City to accomplish or further confirm the provisions of this Guaranty.

16. City may declare Guarantor to be in default under this Guaranty upon the occurrence of any of the following events ("Events of Default").

(a) If Guarantor fails to pay any amounts required to be paid or expended under this Guaranty and such nonpayment continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice of such nonpayment;

(b) If Guarantor fails to comply with any covenants and agreements made by it in this Guaranty (other than those specifically described in any other subparagraph of this paragraph 16) and such noncompliance continues for fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice of such nonperformance, provided, however, that if any such noncompliance is reasonably susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) Business Days, but cannot with due diligence be cured within fifteen (15) Business Days, and if Guarantor commences to cure any noncompliance within said fifteen (15) Business Days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion, then Guarantor shall not during such period of diligently curing be in default hereunder as long as such default is completely cured within thirty (30) Business Days of the first notice of such default to Guarantor;

(c) If any representation or warranty made by Guarantor hereunder was false or misleading in any material respect as of the time made;

(d) If any of the following events occur with respect to Guarantor: (i) by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Guarantor or of any of the property of Guarantor (other than non-material property and with respect to which the appointment hereinafter referred to would not materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor) shall be appointed and shall not have been discharged within ninety (90) days; (ii) a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency proceeding or petition for reorganization shall have been filed against Guarantor and same is not withdrawn, dismissed, canceled or terminated within ninety (90) days; (iii) Guarantor is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or a petition for reorganization is granted (without regard for any grace period provided for herein); (iv) if there is an attachment or sequestration of any of the property of Guarantor and same is not discharged or bonded over within ninety (90) days; (v) if Guarantor files or consents to the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or commences or consents to the commencement of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, now or hereafter in effect, relating to the reorganization of Guarantor or the arrangement or readjustment of the debts of Guarantor; or (vi) if Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Guarantor or of all or any material part of its property;

(e) If Guarantor ceases to do business or terminates its business for any reason whatsoever or shall cause or institute any proceeding for the dissolution of Guarantor; or

(f) Except pursuant to Section 2, if Guarantor attempts to withdraw, revoke or assert that the Guaranty is of no force or effect.

17. If any of the provisions of this Guaranty, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty, or the application of such provision or provisions to Persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

There are no promises or conditions, expressed or implied, unless contained in this writing. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage, and no parol evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify the terms of this Guaranty. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by City, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No waiver shall be implied from City's delay in exercising or failing to exercise any right or remedy against Developer, Guarantor or any collateral given to secure the Obligations.

From the time(s) incurred until paid in full, all sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

25. No amounts shall be due hereunder unless and until Guarantor has received notice pursuant to paragraph 4 hereof

26. EACH PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty has been duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

(1) Whether and to what extent the officers, directors or shareholders are a Minority, a Detroit resident, a Detroit-Based Business, a Detroit Resident Business or a Small Business Concern.

Developer is extremely proud of its diverse management and ownership structure, which combines the financial strength and operational acumen of Mandalay Resort Group ("MRG") with the history of investment and involvement in the City of Detroit represented by the many beneficial owners of Atwater Casino Group, L.L.C. ("ACG"). One of our core strengths is that Developer currently includes as an 11.5% beneficial owner Atwater Entertainment Associates, L.L.C. ("AEA"), which is a Detroit-based, grass roots, majority African-American owned group which was the driving force behind proposal B in 1994 and in placing Proposal E on the Michigan statewide ballot in 1996. Another key strength is that two (2) of Detroit's most highly respected businesswomen, Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, are currently both major stakeholders and active participants in the management of Developer. Finally, the history of investment in and commitment to Detroit by various members of ACG is exemplary and second to none among the 3 casino developers. In support of those assertions, please note the following:

As described elsewhere herein, there are 6 voting positions on the Management Committee of Developer. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxxxx are African-American. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx are women. Xx. Xxxxxxxxx resides in the City of Detroit. Accordingly, at the current time, four voting positions on the Management Committee (33%) are held by African-Americans, five (42%) are held by women, and three (25%) are held by a resident of the City of Detroit.

AEA, which is majority owned by African-Americans, holds certain veto rights under the operating agreements of both ACG and Developer. Foremost among these is that AEA must concur in any sale of substantially all of Developer's assets. This provision helps to ensure that the operators of the casino project will always be sensitive to the needs of the community.

ACG is governed by Atwater Management Corporation ("AMG"), a closely held, sole purpose, Delaware corporation owned by AEA and ZRX. AMG is governed by a 6 person Board of Directors, 3 appointed by AEA and 3 by ZRX. As of March 18, 2002, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, III holds 1 voting position designated for AEA and Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx holds the other 2 voting positions designated for AEA. Currently, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx holds 2 voting positions designated for ZRX and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx holds the other 1 voting position designated for ZRX. Xx. Xxxxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxxxx are both African-American, and Xx. Xxxxxxxxx and Ms. Ilitch are both women. Thus, at the current time, 50% of the voting positions on the AMG Board of Directors are held by African-Americans and 50% are held by women.

AEA is governed by a 3 person group of managers. As of March 18, 2002, those 3 individuals are Xx. Xxxxxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, all of whom are African-American, and two of whom are women. Thus, the management of AEA currently is 100% African-American and 66% female.

The day-to-day manager of the casino project will be Circus, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MRG. MRG's Board of Directors currently includes two women (25%), one of whom is African-American (12.5%). A key officer of MRG, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (Vice-President, General Counsel, and Secretary of MRG), is a woman who is directly involved in the casino project. As of September 2001, over 51% of MRG's employees are women, and 49% of MRG's management positions are held by women. As of September 2001, over 52% of MRG's employees are minorities, and 29% of MRG's management positions are held by minorities. As is its practice at its other properties, MRG is committed to replicating and, indeed, enhancing its commitment to the hiring and deployment of women and minorities in managerial positions at Developer's casino project. Accordingly, at the current time, the highest level executive (the General Manager) at Developer's casino project is a woman, and the second highest level executive (the Director of Casino Operations) is an African-American woman. Indeed, 37% of the top management positions at Developer's casino project are held by women and 32% of those positions are held by African-Americans.

Developer's Ownership:

As of Xxxxx 00, 0000, XXX owns approximately 46.47% and Circus owns approximately 53.53% of Developer. Of the 3 casino developers, Developer is the only one with such a high percentage of local (i.e. Detroit) equity ownership. ZRX owns 75.31% and AEA owns 24.68% of ACG. Those ownership percentages result in ZRX beneficially owning 35% of Developer and AEA owning 11.46% of Developer.

MRG is a publicly traded company and, accordingly, only those persons or entities owning 5% or more of its common stock are known to its management. However, it should be noted that various institutional investors and mutual funds own a substantial percentage of MRG. These entities, presumably, reflect the investment of millions of women and minorities.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, a woman, currently owns 71.43% of ZRX. This gives her a beneficial ownership of 25% of Developer. AEA currently has 110 individual investors, held directly or indirectly through 265.099 limited lliability company membership units. Of the total 110 beneficial owners of AEA, 73 are African-Americans, i.e. 9.4% of the equity. This means that currently 9.4% of the total equity in Developer is owned by African-Americans. 53 of the 110 beneficial owners of AEA are women; i.e. 48%. Women hold 30% of the equity of AEA. Thus, the women of AEA currently own 3.4% of Developer. Combining that amount with the 25% stake held by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, women currently own 28.4% of Developer (not including the owners of publicly traded shares of MRG).

AEA is a Detroit-based business, as are numerous of its members, including, at the current time, Atwater Detroit Corporation, Primco/Atwater, Inc, O Fund, CBD Fund, L.L.C., Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, L.L.C., NICO Ventures, Inc., and PR Networks Inc.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx is a Detroit based business person. Indeed, it can be said that she (together with other members of her family) has been among the foremost investors in downtown Detroit over the last decades, a time when others were shunning the City. Ms. Ilitch is co-founder of Little Caesars Enterprises and co-owner and secretary/treasurer of the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Rockers soccer team and Olympia Entertainment, Inc., the management firm for the Fox Theatre.

Mrs. Ilitch has demonstrated commitment and a belief in the revitalization of Detroit by making the decision to move her companies' corporate headquarters and 600 employees downtown. She also was instrumental in the decision to purchase the historic Fox Theatre in 1987. The Fox Theatre and office building was restored and re-opened in 1988. In 1996, she established Olympia Development of Michigan, L.L.C. to bring new projects to enhance the City.

(2) Whether Developer or an Affiliate holds a gaming license and in which jurisdiction the license is held, and whether Developer or an Affiliate has ever been denied a gaming license or withdrawn an application for a gaming license.

Developer received its Casino License from the Michigan Gaming Control Board on December 14, 1999. Currently, that license remains in full force and effect. Developer has never withdrawn an application for nor been denied a gaming license. Neither ACG (an Affiliate) nor either of its members, AEA and ZRX, hold a gaming license or have been denied or have withdrawn an application for a gaming license. Additionally, Circus (an Affiliate) does not hold a gaming license and has never been denied or withdrawn an application for a gaming license. Similarly, neither MRG nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has even been denied a gaming license or withdrawn an application for a gaming license. MRG has had business reasons for relinquishing licenses (for example, shut down of leased operation, decision not to proceed with a project, removal of slot machines from gas station), as elsewhere herein described. The following constitutes the relevant current information regarding Xxxxxx Xxxxxx:

2.: HACIENDA RESORT HOTEL & CASINO. In connection with the September 1995 acquisition of the Hacienda Resort Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc., through its subsidiary Pinkless, Inc. applied for a restricted gaming license to operate gaming devices at the Hacienda Camperland Trailer Park located on the Hacienda grounds. After applying for the trailer park license, it was decided that the existing operator of the trailer park would lease, and continue to operate, the trailer park (including the gaming devices). Therefore, Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. withdrew its application for a restricted license in July, 1995.

On December 1, 1996 the Hacienda Resort Hotel and Casino was closed in anticipation of the construction of a new resort on the site. In accordance with the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the unrestricted gaming license of Pinkless, Inc. d/b/a Hacienda Resort Hotel and Casino was surrendered to the Nevada Gaming Control Board shortly thereafter.

Such statements include information relating to current expansion projects, plans for future expansion projects and other business development activities as well as other capital spending, financing sources and the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulation) and competition. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to development and construction activities, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates), domestic or global economic conditions, changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws, changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions) and applications for licenses and approvals under applicable laws and regulations (including gaming laws and regulations).

Section E. Following is a description of existing and anticipated sources of financing for the Casino Complex, including pertinent details such as terms, rates, and security covenants, whether Developer has or will acquire all or some of its financing from a Detroit-Based Business, a Detroit Resident Business or a Small Business Concern, and Developer's plan, if any, for utilization of Detroit-based Minority-owned financial institutions in servicing Developer's financial needs.

Developer acquired construction financing for MotorCity Casino from MRG and from a consortium of lenders led by Bank of America. Special attention was paid to involve local and minority banking institutions in the consortium, which includes Detroit-based Comerica Bank, and Detroit-based and minority owned First Independence National Bank, which is involved to the maximum allowed by federal lending guidelines. In addition, Bank One, Michigan National Bank (now Standard Federal Bank), and National City Bank, all of which have a strong local presence, are included in the current consortium. Those lenders, in the aggregate, hold a 54% interest in the financing. That financing currently remains in place, in the form of a reducing revolving line of credit.

Developer anticipates that the construction of the balance of the Casino Complex will be financed in the same manner, with financing provided by a consortium of all or some of the above-listed banking institutions, led by Bank of America. It is contemplated that the construction financing will automatically convert to a reducing revolving line of credit (non-recourse or limited recourse) upon completion of the construction of the additional components of the Casino Complex.

It should be noted that often there is a minimum participation size for involvement in large scale lending transactions of the nature required for the Casino Complex which may exceed the lending limits of small institutions imposed by bank regulators or by bank policy. Since Developer is cognizant of that fact, Developer will use its best efforts to suggest to its lenders the importance of including Detroit based and minority firms in its lending groups regardless of the size of the portion of the credit facility which they are capable of assuming.

A minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total cost of the Casino Complex will be financed with equity contributions by MRG. MRG will also provide a completion guarantee. The specific rates and terms of the financing for the balance of the Casino Complex will be determined at the time the transaction is completed.

Depending on market conditions and the availability of bank funds at the time of construction, the financing could also include a layer or public capital-market debt. Mandalay Resort Group has completed two public debt financings in the last year and raised a total of $300 million for Mandalay Resort Group and $160 million for Silver Legacy.

As of March 18, 2002, Developer uses Comerica Bank for its payroll and cash management functions but maintains its account for the permanent casino with First Independence National Bank. First Independence National Bank also currently operates a number of ATM machines in MotorCity Casino. That bank also currently holds the escrow for Developer's community development fund. Developer expects to continue those banking relationships.

Section F. Under separate cover, and subject to agreement to protect the confidentiality of same, Developer is delivering to the City its current detailed financial statements for each gaming operation currently owned or operated by Developer.

Section G. Following is a description of Developer's concept for their proposed Casino Complex, including:

(1) The proposed site or location for the Casino Complex, legal description of the property boundaries, dimensions and total acreage of the Casino Complex, as well as any ancillary facilities proposed.

The Casino Complex will be constructed within the Boundaries more specifically, as currently planned, in the area bounded generally by Trumbull, Grand River, US 10 and Interstate 75 (the "Motor City Area"). Most of the Motor City Area is already zoned as a PD District, a district in which Developer's proposed uses can be achieved. The legal descriptions for the PD zoned portions of the Motor City Area are set forth in the applicable Zoning Ordinances currently in effect. The area currently utilized by Developer consists of approximately 20 acres. The Casino Complex presently consists of approximately 68,000 square feet of gaming area which, as of October 31, 2001, featured 2,501 slot machines and 106 table games. The existing facility also includes five restaurants and a parking structure and surface parking for 3,450 vehicles. Developer intends to add the following:

19.: 400 hotel rooms;
20.: expansion of gaming area to 100,000 square feet of space in which gaming facilities are actually located;
21.: 1,200-seat theatre;
22.: 13,000 square feet ballroom with appropriate pre-function space;
23.: 35,000 square feet convention center with approximately 20,000 square feet of pre-function space;
24.: 200-seat coffee shop;
25.: 100-seat specialty restaurant
26.: added/reconfigured bar areas to create in total at least 4 bar areas;
27.: additional adequate parking and retail.

(2) The size of the Casino Complex; the number and types of gaming facilities; the number and types of restaurants; a description of any hotel, including the number of rooms and whether such hotel will be available for use by non-casino patrons; the number and types of lounges or bars; the number and types of retail shops; the number and types of ancillary entertainment or recreational facilities planned; a description of any convention facilities; and a description of any other facilities proposed.

The number and types of gaming facilities:

The existing casino contains approximately 68,000 square feet of gaming space, containing 2,501 slot machines and 106 table games. The expanded casino will offer 100,000 square feet of area in which gaming facilities are located, containing approximately 3,000 slot machines and 106 table games.

The number and types of restaurants:

The facility will include a total of approximately seven (7) food outlets: a buffet with 492 seats; a coffee shop open 24 hours a day that will seat 200; a deli that will seat 55 and a coffee bar for quick meals and beverages. There will be three other restaurants, probably specialty restaurants with adventurous food in distinctively themed settings, each seating between 100 and 150 diners. All seating is approximate.

A description of any hotel, including number of rooms and whether such hotel will be available for use by non-casino patrons:

The hotel tower will contain an estimated 400 rooms on approximately 16 floors. Rooms are anticipated to be approximately 450 sq. ft., with several suites. Rooms will be available to non-casino patrons.

The number and types of lounges or bars:

Developer intends to reconfigure its existing space and/or to construct additional lounges and bars. Beverage outlets of varying size and atmosphere will be located in the casino area, and also in the high limit pit area. At least one entertainment lounge/bar and a lobby bar will service the facility.

The number and types of retail shops:

Developer will initially devote approximately 1,600 sq. ft. within the facility to retail. Retail will include a logo shop and sundries shop. If demand warrants, additional retail will be added to the facility.

Number and types of ancillary entertainment or recreational facilities planned:

Developer has planned a 1,200-seat theater with balcony seating. A health/spa/fitness facility will be located in the hotel.

A description of any convention facilities:

A ballroom/convention facility of approximately 70,000 square feet is planned. Plans currently show a 13,000 square foot ballroom with 5,000 square feet of pre-function space. It is also anticipated that a separate meeting area of 36,000 square feet serviced by 21,000 square feet of pre-function space will be constructed.

A description of any other facilities proposed:

None at this time, other than additional parking.

This narrative is preliminary as of March 18, 2002. Developer intends, to the best of its ability, to carry out the design and floor plan presented. However, all numbers are approximate and may vary based, in large part, on the final site plan. Therefore, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, Developer reserves the right to modify any aspect of the project.

(3) Architectural matters, including drawings, the name(s) of the architect(s), the floor plans (discussing space allocations and major functions such as gaming floor, back-of-the-house, circulation, accessibility and exiting), building elevations (showing heights, relative scale and compatibility with adjacent components), landscaping and design theme.

Klai::Juba Architects of Las Vegas, Nevada, the firm that provided architectural services for the Temporary Casino, has prepared the conceptual/schematic design drawings for the balance of the Casino Complex. These include site plans, floor plans, exterior and interior renderings elevations, ingress/egress routes and other design/site plans. Supplemental material will be provided in accordance with this Agreement.

(4) Proposed plans for employee, patron and bus parking; tour bus and valet drop-off facilities, service vehicle parking, satellite parking facilities, and other infrastructure related to the Casino Complex.

Parking will be provided to patrons in MotorCity Casino's existing 3,450 space parking garage and surface parking areas. Current plans include the construction of an additional 1,420 space parking garage. It is expected that employees will park on site. Tour bus drop-off and bus parking, as well as service vehicle parking, will be determined based upon the final site plan. Valet drop-off facilities are planned for a location adjacent to the hotel tower.

(5) The proposed phasing plan, the proposed sequence of the phases and the approximate dates of beginning and completion of development of the entire project.

In order to minimize disruption of the existing operations, it is expected that the additional components of the Casino Complex will be completed in phases. As presently contemplated, the initial 400 room hotel tower, theatre and additional parking will be constructed and the casino and restaurant areas will be enlarged in phase one. Thereafter, the ballroom and meeting areas will be completed and the existing casino area will be renovated. Both phases are expected to be completed by December 31, 2005.

(6) Developer's commitment to adhere to applicable zoning requirements adopted by City.

Developer has complied with the existing PD zoning ordinance and other zoning requirements applicable to the existing Components of the Casino Complex. Developer agrees to continue to comply with all applicable zoning ordinances and zoning requirements, as may be amended from time to time.

Section H. Following is a description of the amount and manner of investment or other contributions Developer will make to promote economic growth and revitalize the district in which the Casino Complex will be located; to create new jobs and contribute to the support of existing employment opportunities; to attract new businesses, tourists and visitors to City or to the district in which the Casino Complex will be located.

MotorCity Casino has successfully taken important steps in fulfillment of the commitment made in the Amended Agreement to contribute a total of $1,900,000 to fund Detroit business and City of Detroit development plans designed to provide employment opportunities and to promote economic growth and revitalize not only the district in which its Casino Complex is located but also the City as a whole. This commitment has taken three basic forms:

UDAG-type business development grants

The UDAG-type grant program will benefit Detroit by providing resources to those development projects that would benefit the City, but fail to get off the ground because of financing shortages. These financing gaps often relate to infrastructure costs or other project related costs. Guidelines and limitations would be developed by such agencies; projects should add jobs for City residents and contribute to the City tax base. These funds will not be managed by Developer but by an agency or agencies acceptable to the City.

A Detroit Business Development Fund

This fund, the Detroit Community Loan Fund (DCLF), will be administered by Detroit Renaissance Foundation pursuant to a preliminary agreement. The funds supplied by Developer will be used to guarantee loans averaging $75,000-$100,000 (but not exceeding $100,000), primarily to businesses in Detroit less than five years old, with sales of less than $1 million and fewer than 50 employees. According to Detroit Renaissance "a sizeable portion of the portfolio will likely be African-American businesses." Based on Developer's financial commitment, according to Detroit Renaissance, the fund "will play a significant role in increasing economic activity in the city, strengthening the viability of small businesses, and creating jobs in the city." No member of Developer, ACG or AEA may have any direct or indirect financial interest in any business for which such loan is guaranteed. The highest priority will be given to businesses located in or near low and moderate income neighborhoods or in close proximity to the Casino Complex.

Joint Employment Procurement Advisory Board ("JEPAB")

This is a joint commitment of all three casino developers that has already been implemented by the creation of a board consisting of 10 members, two appointed by City Council, two appointed by the Mayor, and two appointed by each of the three casino developers. That Board has been created for the purpose of assisting the three casino developers in their efforts to meet their hiring and procurement commitments under their respective development agreements.

Developer has already released a total of $200,000 to JEPAB to fund its activities. Additionally, Developer has placed $1.7 million into an escrow account at First Independence National Bank of Detroit to meet its commitments with respect to funding the above-described UDAG-type grants and Detroit Community Loan Fund. Detroit Renaissance Foundation is in the process of obtaining the approval needed from the Michigan Gaming Control Board for it to receive and administer those funds. As soon as that approval issues, Developer will deliver a total of $850,000 of the escrowed funds to Detroit Renaissance Foundation. Similarly, as soon as the City notifies Developer that the organization authorized to receive the UDAG type-grants has received the approval needed from the Michigan Gaming Control Board to receive those funds, Developer will deliver a total of $850,000 of the escrowed funds to that organization.

Developer has also made the following commitment:

Upon City Council's approval of this Agreement, Developer will be obligated to pay the City $34 million. The first installment of $17 million is scheduled to be paid within 60 days from the City Council's approval of the Revised Development Agreement. The second installment of $17 million is scheduled to be paid in twelve equal monthly installments beginning June 1, 2003. There will be no restriction on the City's use of the funds received from the Developer.

The use of such funds shall be determined by City in its sole and absolute discretion. Such funds shall be in the lieu of any funds that would be due, now or in the future, but were not previously paid by Developer under Section 2.6 and Exhibits 8.1(j) and 8.1(m) of the Amended Agreement.

Section I. Following is a description of Developer's plans for assisting current businesses that may experience employee shortages due to their employees accepting employment relating to the Casino Complex.

It should be noted that, as of March 31, 2002, Developer is not aware of any local businesses that have experienced employee shortages due to hiring by Developer. Developer has not received any requests to refer applicants for casino employment to other businesses or organizations. Nonetheless, to assist any existing business that may experience a shortage of employees due to the increase in demand for qualified applicants associated with completion and opening for business of the balance of the Casino Complex, Developer will maintain a referral service for those applicants who are not selected for jobs in the Casino Complex and have agreed to participate in such service. Developer also anticipates working with local job placement agencies to share information on applicants who may be more properly suited for jobs outside the Casino Complex and have agreed to participate in such sharing arrangement.

Section J. Following is a description of the manner in which the Casino Complex will enhance the City as a desirable location for tourists, conventions, families and urban life and the manner in which the Casino Complex will encourage pedestrian linkages with other business, economic and entertainment activities in the area in which the Casino Complex is to be located.

Developer has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create a Casino Complex that will appeal to all market segments. Indeed, Developer has turned approximately 17 acres of blighted neighborhood into a vibrant casino and entertainment complex visited by over 5 million individuals each year. Developer restored the Wonder Bread Bakery, an 85-year old Detroit landmark, and developed it into a world-class casino with more than 68,000 square feet of gaming space, award winning restaurants, a number of bars, and entertainment venues that have been regularly showcasing Detroit talent. To facilitate safety and a renewed sense of neighborhood pride, Developer has recently added substantial outside lighting to the Wonder Bread building and signage to the Continental building (which currently houses MotorCity Casino's restaurants). Developer has also installed colorful banners along the perimeter of the property. In addition, Developer has completed the paving and landscaping of the nearby lots it purchased. Developer has entered into an agreement permitting it to clean up on a regular basis the portion of the Xxxx X. Lodge Expressway that is near the Casino Complex.

Currently, MotorCity Casino serves nearly five thousand people in its restaurants and parks over 3,000 cars each day. Developer has worked hard to build a synergy with other Detroit attractions, using its shuttle busses to transport casino visitors to and from other major events in the City, such as the conventions and hockey and baseball games.

Developer has built a strong relationship with the Metro Detroit Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Significant efforts have been launched to reach markets at the Detroit International Auto Show, conventions such as the Society of Automotive Engineers, and a variety of annual meetings, tours and conventions. The association has proved successful in opening avenues to attract out-state and regional customers to the area. MotorCity Casino has also been participating in the Metro Detroit Convention and Visitor's Bureau's quarterly meetings to strategize on marketing and sales efforts for the growth and success of the City.

Patrons currently come by car and tour bus to MotorCity Casino, not only from the metropolitan Detroit area but also from communities all over the Midwest. Developer has worked to create appealing entertainment packages in a wide variety of formats, to raise the awareness of Detroit as an attractive destination in the region. It has developed and currently utilizes an impressive list of over 50 bus line runs; Monday through Saturday, from a variety of local and suburban locations, including line-run departures from sites as far away as Xxx Arbor, Clinton Township and Pontiac. Even more distant locations such as Flint, Saginaw, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland are also currently doing extremely well. Developer will spend many more millions of dollars to construct the balance of the Casino Complex, creating hotel rooms, added restaurant and retail space, convention space, and other amenities that should encourage even greater attendance by tourists, conventioneers, the business traveler, and drive-in travelers.

As is evident to anyone visiting MotorCity Casino, Developer's plans for the Casino Complex are designed to recapture the vibrancy of Detroit's downtown area and to reflect the pride that Detroiters naturally feel regarding Detroit's place in developing the automobile industry. Developer believes that the grandeur and scale of MotorCity Casino's current architecture, with its historical allusions, has created a platform for a celebration of Detroit's history and culture. Developer's goal has been and will continue to be the creation of a unique "Detroit Experience" designed to draw visitors from outside the region as well as to be a catalyst to renewed community pride within the City and the region surrounding it.

As we look at it, Detroit has had as much positive impact on the American way of life and popular culture as any place in this nation during the 20^th century. The community features an incredible array of people, all of whom came to Detroit to live in freedom, work hard, build families, and enjoy life. While ethnically and racially diverse, we think Detroiters are all enormously proud of their city and its

contributions to the world. We feel that the gestalt of the community is warm, open, accessible, unpretentious, high energy, optimistic, and fun. Developer's goal is to make this project feel the same way-both from a physical and an operational standpoint. Developer believes that this approach will not only insure our own success but also will help stimulate and improve the use of existing and future attractions in the City.

Developer has imbued and desires to continue to imbue its staff with the Detroit spirit discussed above. Developer has hired and intends to continue to hire people who are warm, open, high energy, and fun. Developer believes that it is important to remember that when all is said and done, we are in the entertainment and hospitality industry. Developer's goal is to create a place that will, flat out, be FUN! If we achieve that goal, we will be reflecting the City's culture and positively contributing to its success.

Developer has also demonstrated a commitment to giving back to the community. It has already donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a large number of non-profit and charitable organizations working in the Detroit area and intends to continue its charitable donation program. Besides financial donations to a wide variety of community and charitable organizations, Developer has worked hard and intends to continue to work hard to forge alliances in the community, including the creation of the neighborhood business association, designed to xxxxxx business growth and neighborhood re-development in a broad area surrounding the Casino Complex. Another example of Developer's commitment is the MotorCity Neighborhood Partnership created in association with United Way Community Services. Developer has held several neighborhood clean-up programs, enlisting the involvement of other local businesses and community organizations, as well as Developer's employees. Similarly, Developer, with the help of its employees, has held several very successful food and blood donation programs. Developer's campaign to aid United Way Community Services resulted in pledges of more than $100,000 by Developer and its employees.

Section K. Following is a description of the amount of investment or other contributions Developer will make to promote economic growth and contribute to the revitalization of economically depressed areas of City, other than the area in which the Casino Complex is to be located; to create new jobs and contribute to the support of existing employment opportunities, and to attract new businesses, tourists and visitors to those other areas.

Please refer to Section H above.

Section L. Following is a description of Developer's plan to market the Casino Complex and Developer's intent to cooperate and consult with City, the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and Visitor's Bureau or other regional tourism and marketing organizations to implement a comprehensive and uniform system or marketing City as an entertainment destination.

Developer intends to continue to market its Casino Complex by way of print, outdoor advertising, radio, television, direct mail, and the Internet. Developer has promoted tour and travel business with subsidized group programs as well as line run shuttles from many suburban and outer market areas and may do so in the future. Developer has established the MotorCity Casino brand as being aggressive in terms of promotions, special events and reinvestment in customers. The exceptional quality of Developer's award winning food product will remain a priority.

By design, Developer has been more aggressive at marketing than its competitors, with more events, more promotions and more entertainment at all levels. The casino has regularly offered a wide variety of promotions, prizes, parties and events. Nearly every month the casino has held a special promotion providing patrons with the opportunity to win a new or vintage car or significant amounts of money.

Nearly every day, patrons have been able to relax in one of the casino's performance venues and watch top-notch live entertainment. Such well known groups as Detroit's Rare Earth, Xxxxx Xxxxx & The Detroit Wheels, and The Coasters have often performed at the casino's Chromatic Lounge. We hope to have even more such entertainment will be available once the balance of the Casino Complex is completed.

Opportunities for great dining currently abound at MotorCity Casino and are expected to be expanded with the construction of the balance of the Casino Complex. The existing Casino Complex boasts four great restaurants that have been voted among the best eateries in the area:

28.: Classics Buffet presents flavorful menu choices far better than the ordinary buffet fare.
o: Iridescence provides dining elegance at its best, having recently been awarded the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award, one of only a few restaurants in the metropolitan Detroit area to win that award.
o: Deli Unique offers salads and New York-styled deli sandwiches.
o: High Octane Cafe offers Starbucks coffee, Krispy Kreme donuts, and a variety of sandwiches and desserts.

The media attention to those entertainment venues and restaurants has brought and hopefully will continue to bring new visitors to the Casino Complex.

Developer's cooperative efforts with local organizations have also been extremely important to its marketing plan, and no relationship has been more important than its work with the Metro Detroit Convention and Visitor's Bureau ("MDCVB"). As mentioned earlier, significant efforts have been launched to reach markets at the Detroit International Auto Show, conventions such as the Society of Automotive Engineers, and a variety of annual meetings, tours and conventions. The association has proved successful in attracting out-state and regional customers to the area.

MotorCity Casino has also participated in the Metro Detroit Convention and Visitor's Bureau's quarterly meetings to strategize on marketing and sales efforts for the growth and success of the City of Detroit. These meetings have proven beneficial for the development of marketing strategies in the City, State and across the nation. Developer has also participated in the funding of a study by the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau of visitation of Detroit casinos by individuals living outside of the metropolitan area.

Developer has also hosted familiarization tours for tour and travel writers from outside of the metropolitan area. For the trade shows that the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau attended, Developer provided brochures as well as prizes for attendees (e.g. complimentary dinners at the casino). Developer's website currently has a direct link to the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau's website, and Developer also currently advertises on that website. Developer has also

provided the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau with technical assistance with the development of its information kiosk program.

MotorCity Casino intends to continue to market its facilities as a world-class entertainment destination. Previous successful marketing strategies have included:

o: Establishing a sales program that supplemented the MDCVB's activities, including support materials and staff travel schedules.
o: Creating and distributing collateral material for shared use with Detroit's travel and tourism related businesses and organizations.
1.: Developing and executing a comprehensive publicity program that included a wide distribution of press kits and stories written and pitched to targeted media outlets. We provided familiarization trips for invited media and prepared for grand opening media events and attractions that were seen across the country.
o: Developing and executing programs designed to bring visitors directly into the downtown area.
I.: Initiating a teaser-type advertising campaign in key feeder drive and fly markets to compete with Casino Windsor and establish Detroit as a better destination choice. Such messages were also delivered in the Detroit area, as well as markets within a two-to-four hour drive.

Section M. Following is a description of the key management and other staff for each functional area of operation broken down by the number of full-time and part-time positions, and for each job classification, its respective total estimated salaries and benefits.

Section N. Following is a description of Developer's program for staff training and development and staff relations.

The goal of Developer's staff training and development program has been consistent throughout the company: to assist each associate to realize his or her full potential—personally and professionally.

Developer made a commitment from the start to make the human resource element of the Casino Complex the best that it could be, dedicating prior to opening a total of 660,000 hours of training at a cost of $6.3 million for recruiting and training. Developer started by distributing information on employment opportunities as early as the Spring of 1999. Through ads in local newspapers, potential applicants were directed to MotorCity Casino's Career Center, open daily, and to career fairs/expos held several times a month at various locations in the City.

Fairs and Expos were held at the Detroit Masonic Temple, the Detroit Career Center, Butzel Center, the Chaldean Council, the North American Indian Association, Cobo Hall, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Center, and other local sites.

Bringing the gaming industry to Detroit was a new endeavor for the City. To introduce new skills to the local workforce, experienced trainers provided training at no cost to the associates. A wide range of training was provided for every employment level, with training ranging from how to serve drinks to how to pay jackpots. Associates received training in Diversity, Life Skills, and Leadership Development.

By the time it opened, Developer had ultimately recruited, trained, uniformed and licensed a workforce a majority of whom were from the City of Detroit. Developer met and surpassed its goals of ethnic and gender diversity.

In October 2000, Developer entered into a collective bargaining agreement ("MotorCity-DCC Contract") with the Detroit Casino Council ("DCC") in which Developer and the DCC recognized "that job training is an important tool for promoting the development, success, and advancement of" employees and agreed to establish a joint labor-management training committee to develop training programs and seek grant funding opportunities for training. Developer made specific commitments in the MotorCity-DCC Contract with respect to long term work-training programs to enable employees to advance in a number of departments, including slots, table games, engineering, pit tech, and audio-visual tech. The MotorCity-DCC Contract also contains Developer's commitment to the creation of certain apprenticeship programs.

At the current time, Developer continues to operate the free dealer training program that it started long before its opening. That program prepares individuals with no prior experience to work as dealers. Developer also committed in the MotorCity-DCC Contract to paying dealers added wages for dealing multiple game types; the dealer training program provides free training for employees seeking such upward mobility. Similarly, Developer currently provides qualified employees in certain departments with the opportunity to work part of the time in their regular capacity and part of the time in a supervisory capacity in order to acquire the skills needed to be promoted to a management position.

Developer also currently employs a full-time Training Manager and several full time trainers. All employees, regardless of position, have become required to participate in extensive training programs, as described below. During calendar year 2000, Developer joined with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights to initiate a diversity training program for Developer's employees, which program is currently continuing. Developer also currently offers generous tuition reimbursement program, which permits employees desiring to further their skills and advance their career opportunities in the casino industry to receive reimbursement for tuition, books and fees in the aggregate amount of $1,000 every 6 months for certain course work. As a part of its current program, employees are also encouraged to attend and receive reimbursement for the costs and travel expenses associated with certain pre-approved professional development seminars and conferences. To encourage employees to receive their GEDs, Developer also currently provides a $300 bonus payment to employees who enroll in and successfully complete a GED program.

Developer recognizes that individual motivation and recognition are needed in a diverse workforce. Consequently, Developer has created programs to meet these needs. Thank you cards (available to all associates) along with $25 gift certificates, have been used to recognize great guest service instantly while $500, $5,000 and $20,000 awards have been provided through a monthly peer selection program entitled "Simply the Best!" Another program currently in place allows randomly selected associates to lunch with the General Manager. Also, individuals have been able to receive $250 for recommending a friend to work at MotorCity Casino. Making customer service the key point for guest retention, Developer's unique recognition programs have been designed to inspire associates and reward individuals who exemplify a dedication and commitment to public service.

Developer has brought training and staff development programs to the City that have a long history of stability and success—both for the company and for the workers. An indicator of the success of Developer's training and associate preparation programs is in the data on the internal promotion rate. Close to twenty-seven percent (27%) of current associates have received a promotion and/or a significant increase in responsibilities in the short time the property has been open. This indicates an incredible success rate for the training and on-going educational processes. It also shows that Developer has been extremely successful in its training of local residents with no previous gaming industry experience.

Training has been offered as an ongoing opportunity for all associates. The following departmental training programs have been offered in the past, and similar programs are likely to be provided in the future:

Section O. Following is a description of Developer's Voluntary Equal Opportunity Employment Plan to recruit, train and upgrade Detroit residents, Minorities and women for all employment classifications, including, but not limited to:

(i) How Developer will establish contacts in City to xxxxxx an interest in casino careers among Detroit residents, Minorities and women, and publicize and market the Casino Complex employment opportunities.

(2) Any proposed systematic training program to prepare Detroit residents, Minorities and women, among others, with the life skills and the employment skills necessary for responsible jobs within the Casino Complex.

In accordance with City and State licensing regulations, as well as in accordance with the Developer's policies, Developer has used and will continue to use its reasonable best efforts to hire 51% of its employees from among residents of the City, using the Detroit SMSA as a secondary resource. Developer recognizes the unique challenge this endeavor presents, as the vast majority of the target applicant pool has had no familiarity with the gaming industry and is inexperienced in specialized gaming fields. To meet this challenge, Developer has already taken and intends to continue to take, as appropriate, the steps described in Section N above to identify, recruit, and train target applicants. The success of those efforts is reflected in the fact that, as revealed by the last audit by the City, Developer has consistently met its above-stated commitments with respect to hiring City residents. The internal promotion rate of 27% also validates Developer's approach to recruitment and training. Please see Section N above for a full description of the extensive and systematic training programs Developer has offered, many of which have been specifically designed to provide Detroit residents, Minorities, and women, among others, with the life skills and employment skills necessary for responsible jobs within the Casino Complex.

Developer also subscribes to and has consistently implemented the MRG equal employment opportunity policy, which is as follows:

As set forth in the Agreement, Developer is committed to (a) hire construction contractors who agree to include in their construction contracts an express term that the rates and wages and fringe benefits to be paid to each class of construction mechanics and all of their respective subcontractors shall not be less than the wage and the fringe benefit rates prevailing in the City as established by the most recent survey by the Michigan Department of Labor for prevailing wages determined under Act 166, P.A. 1965 (Act 166 P.A. 1965, MCLA 408.551 et. seq., MSA 17.256(a) et seq.) and, (b) to the extent applicable, comply with the provisions of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (40 U.S.C. § 276a et. seq. (1997)).

Section Q. Following is a description of Developer's commitment to hire contractors who will commit to the goal of maximizing to the greatest extent possible the number of Detroit resident apprentices who advance to journeymen status by agreeing themselves, and requiring their contractors to agree to, and to the greatest extent possible utilizing unions that do or will, operate apprentice programs on the Casino Complex construction sites that are open to all residents of City.

As set forth in the Agreement, Developer is committed to hiring contractors who, in addition to meeting the Michigan Gaming Control Board regulatory requirements and the timetables negotiated with the City in this Agreement, will commit to the goal of maximizing to the greatest extent possible the number of Detroit-resident apprentices who advance to journeyman status by agreeing themselves, requiring their contractors to agree to, and to the greatest extent possible, utilizing unions that do or will, operate apprentice programs on the Casino Complex construction sites that are open to all Detroit residents.

Section R. Following is a description of Developer's commitment to hire contractors who agree to implement an Equal Opportunity Employment Plan conforming to all applicable laws and consistent with City's Executive Order 22.

As set forth in the Agreement, Developer is committed to hiring contractors who, in addition to meeting the Michigan Gaming Control Board regulatory requirements and the timetables set forth in this Agreement, also agree to implement an equal opportunity employment plan (that is, a voluntary plan for the employment, recruitment, training and upgrading of women and minorities) conforming to all applicable laws and consistent with the City's Executive Order 22.

Section S. Following is a description of Developer's commitment to purchase goods and services from Detroit-Based Businesses, Detroit Resident Businesses or Small Business Concerns, which to the greatest extent possible should be no less than fifty one percent (51%) of the total dollar value of all purchases of goods and services.

Developer has used and will continue to use its reasonable best efforts to purchase at least 30% of goods, services, and supplies purchased for the Casino Complex from vendors who meet the definition of "Detroit Based Business," "Detroit Resident Business," "Small Business Concern", "Minority Owned Business," and "Women Owned Business" at the time the contract is awarded. Further, Developer has worked and will continue to work to achieve higher participation if possible. To accomplish this goal, as a part of its purchasing policy, Developer's practice has been to specifically solicit bids from vendors in those classifications. Similarly, Developer's practice has been to regularly encourage its existing and potential vendors to enter into mentoring or joint venture arrangements with vendors who do fit into those categories but are unable, alone, to meet Developer's procurement requirements.

Developer's purchasing process must comply with the requirements imposed pursuant to the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act. The Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act prohibits Developer from purchasing or leasing gaming equipment or supplies from other than a supplier licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Indeed, all vendors supplying goods and services to Developer are subject to the requirements imposed by the Board, which requirements are often quite stringent.

Developer's existing internal controls, which are subject to approval by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, have been drafted to provide that vendors will be determined and selected on the basis of quality, pricing, service, location and/or past vendor history; they have also been drafted to permit Developer, in selecting vendors, to take into account the vendor's agreement to comply not only with Michigan Gaming Control Board requirements but also with the commitments Developer has made in this Agreement. Under those internal controls, a vendor must demonstrate an ability to and commitment to comply with the foregoing requirements in order to do business with Developer.

To comply with the requirements imposed pursuant to the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, Developer's current practice is generally to utilize a competitive bidding process in order to ensure that goods and services acquired meet quality standards and are obtained on the basis of fair market value. Generally, at the current time, a single transaction or a series of related transactions involving $2,000 or less requires a single bid, a single transaction or a series of related transactions involving more than $2,000 but less than $10,000 requires two bids, and a single transaction or a series of related transactions involving $10,000 or more requires three bids. Bids are generally valid for one year, and blanket purchase orders are often used as a means of committing the vendor to the bid price for that one year period.

Under Developer's current program, the following practices are observed: no bids are required in certain circumstances (e.g. emergency purchases, supplier is sole source of the goods or services, goods are an enhancement to existing system, etc.). The requesting department generally completes a purchase requisition, and the Purchasing Department then verifies that the bidding requirements, if applicable, have been followed. Management approval levels for goods and services, including capital expenditures, have been established based upon the dollar amount of the purchase, and the requisite approvals must be obtained prior to going forward with the purchase. The purchasing documents, including bids, are generally retained in the Purchasing Department's files in accordance with the requirements imposed by the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act.

From those documents it retains, Developer generally would be able to determine, on a periodic basis, the following: the total value of all bids for goods and services; the total value of all such bids supplied by vendors who meet the definition of "Detroit-Based Business," "Detroit Resident Business," "Small Business Concern," "Minority Owned Business," and "Women Owned Business; "the total value of all purchases of goods and services; and the total value of all purchases of goods and services from vendors who meet the definition of "Detroit Based Business," "Detroit Resident Business," "Small Business Concern," "Minority Owned Business," and "Women Owned Business. "

Section T. Following is a description of proposed major transportation and circulation routes, including:

(1) A plan for the proposed use of regional airports, and specifically the Detroit City Airport;

(2) A plan for the proposed modifications and improvement to the existing roads necessary to accommodate the anticipated number of trips to and from the Casino Complex each day by employees, visitors and buses, including the size of regional transportation facilities to be constructed or implemented, the estimated period of construction, the approximate cost and the proposed funding source.

(3) Developer's proposed plan for traffic control measures, such as pedestrian-grade street crossing systems, traffic control devices, bus and other large vehicle turnout facilities, drainage mitigation and street lighting systems, the estimated period of construction, approximate cost and the proposed funding source.

In addition to the development plans and marketing plans referred to previously, Developer will endeavor to utilize regional airports including, if feasible, the Detroit City Airport for marketing and promotional activities and, if appropriate, charter flights into and out of the Detroit metro area.

In accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, Developer has already developed and will modify as appropriate in connection with construction of the balance of the Casino Complex the access to the site and a plan for traffic control measures. The existing plans are and any modifications thereto will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the agencies and departments of the City of Detroit.

Section U. Following is a description of Developer's proposed measures for transportation demand management and transportation supply management, including ride-sharing, mass transit and other transportation conservation measures, which should be based on City's requirements and City's traffic analysis studies conducted in conjunction with casino development within the City.

Developer, working with City traffic engineers, as well as private traffic engineers, will develop a transportation management plan appropriate to the needs of the site and the number of visitors. This plan will be modified in connection with the construction of the additional components of the Casino Complex and also when appropriate to reflect actual demand, market and economic conditions.

Section V. Following is a description of Developer's plan for any anticipated improvements to the existing regional water facilities necessary to serve the Casino Complex, the estimated period of construction and the approximate cost of and funding source for such construction.

The water requirements applicable to the existing components of the Casino Complex have been satisfied. Future water requirements are dependent, to some extent, on Developer's final design of the balance of the Casino Complex. Therefore, the definitive water requirements are not available at this time.

Section W. Following is a description of Developer's plan for any anticipated improvements to the existing regional sewer facilities necessary to serve the Casino Complex, the estimated period of construction and the approximate cost of and funding source for such construction.

The sewer requirements applicable to the existing components of the Casino Complex have been satisfied. Future sewer requirements are dependent, to some extent, on Developer's final design of the balance of the Casino Complex. Therefore, the definitive sewer requirements are not available at this time.

Section X. Following is a description of whether, and to what extent, developer is willing to consider contracting for power service with City of Detroit Public Lighting Department ("PLD"), provided that PLD furnishes such service at rates and quality comparable to those otherwise charged by competing electric utilities.

Developer has already obtained some power services from PLD and is willing to consider contracting for added power services from PLD, provided that PLD is able to and does furnish such services at rates and quality comparable to those available from competing utilities, and provided that PLD otherwise meets the regulatory and purchasing requirements imposed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, City of Detroit, this Agreement and other applicable authorities. Please note that given the regulatory changes at both state and federal level, Developer will periodically analyze the best method of obtaining electrical power service for the Casino Complex.

Section Y. Following is a description of Developer's plan for proposed improvement to City's existing fire protection services that would serve the Casino Complex, including the number of fire stations to be constructed or modified and their location, the estimated period on construction and the approximate cost of and funding source for such construction.

Section 12 of the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act imposes an 18% wagering tax on the gross revenue of the casino licensees. Fifty-five (55%) of the wagering tax revenues will be distributed to the City for deployment of street patrol officers, neighborhood programs, public safety programs, such as fire protection services, and other programs designed to improve the quality of life in the City. In addition, an annual municipal services fee of the greater of $4,000,000 or 1.25% of adjusted gross receipts is paid by the casino licensees. As of March 1, 2002, Developer had already paid to the City a total of $12,425,000 in municipal services fees and a total of $75,086,000 in wagering taxes to be used for the above purposes.

Section Z. Following is a description of Developer's plan for proposed improvements to City's existing police protection services that would serve the Casino Complex, including the number of police precincts to be constructed or modified and their location, the estimated period on construction and the approximate cost of and funding source for such construction.

Section AA. Following is a description of Developer's plan for providing for or enhancing existing child care services to ensure that such services are reasonably affordable and appropriate for its prospective employees, including any estimated period of construction of such facilities, and the approximate cost of such construction.

Recognizing the importance of providing high quality daycare to children while their parents work, Developer currently provides a generous dependent care subsidy to assist working parents with the expenses associated with childcare. The current dependent care subsidy is up to $35.00 per week per associate. Associates are currently eligible for this benefit after 6 months of continuous full-time employment. The subsidy is currently provided subject to the following:

o: The child(ren) must be under the age of thirteen (13) and must be a legal dependent.
1.: The childcare may be provided in the associate's home by a babysitter, in the home of the babysitter, or outside of the associate's home, such as at a daycare center.
16.: The dependent care subsidy is available if the childcare is necessary to enable a single parent to remain employed or to enable both an associate and his/her spouse to remain employed.
1.: The dependent care subsidy is not paid during vacation periods, days off, or while the associate is on an approved leave of absence.
2.: The babysitter may be a family member.

Developer anticipates continuing a program of this nature.

Section BB. Following is a description of Developer's plan for enhancing existing services for treatment of compulsive behavior disorders to ensure that they are reasonably affordable and appropriate for its prospective employees and their affected families and for patrons with compulsive gaming behaviors and their affected families. The plan should include the types of public education and problem gambling prevention strategies and prevention and education strategies for employees that would be implemented as part of the operation of the Casino Complex, the estimated period of implementation of the plan and the approximate cost of the plan.

Developer has consistently complied with and will continue to comply with Michigan laws and rules regarding the annual payment to the State of Michigan of Developer's one-third share of $2,000,000 to be used for compulsive gaming programs. Developer has encouraged and will continue to encourage the State to create and fund proven effective programs to combat compulsive gambling, such as the Gambler's Hotline, outreach efforts in neighborhoods through churches and schools, and supplying schools with the materials they need to create and implement a preventive compulsive gambling program. Indeed, Developer has already worked with the Detroit school system in that regard.

Within the Casino and on Developer's printed promotional materials, Developer currently displays the hotline number for gambling addiction help, along with specific language requested by the State. Currently, brochures regarding compulsive gambling are available in the Casino, and information regarding the hotline is scrolled at all times on a board fixed by the main entry to the casino. Developer has included compulsive gambling training in its training programs, and Developer has implemented a "self-exclusion" program whereby individuals who recognize they need a break from gaming arrange to exclude themselves for a specified period of time from the casino and to be removed from the casino's mailing and marketing lists. Developer also has been distributing to individuals who self-exclude a copy of the Michigan Gaming Control Board's pamphlet outlining the State program allowing individuals to elect to permanently exclude themselves from all of the Detroit casinos.

Section CC. Following is a description of Developer's plan to ensure that people under the age of 21 years will be identified and prohibited from gambling or loitering in the casino.

While Developer has constructed a Casino Complex that can be enjoyed by all, it has made a practice of having a zero tolerance for underage gaming. Under the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, persons under the age of 21 are prohibited not only from gaming but also from entering casino gaming areas. In compliance with that statutory mandate, Developer, in the months following its opening of the Casino, implemented a variety of policies and procedures, including the following:

1.: Signage was posted at major casino entry points warning that individuals under 21 may not enter the casino and that individuals under 30 must show valid identification prior to entry. All entry points to the casino were closed other than the opening to the bridge leading from the second floor of the valet building to the casino floor and, for individuals arriving on tour busses, the northerly doors leading from Brooklyn Street to the first floor of the casino.
2.: Security officers were posted on the first floor of the valet building to check identification before individuals were permitted to go upstairs to the valet bridge.
3.: During the first year of casino operations a "gauntlet" was established at the opening to the bridge leading from the second floor of the valet building to the casino floor. Intentionally, the gauntlet was composed of four (4) security officers, with two separate entry lines (one for individuals appearing to be 30 years of age or older and one for individuals appearing to be under 30 years of age). The first security officer in the gauntlet (the officer standing closest to the valet building) would direct each individual to the appropriate entry line. Individuals appearing to be under 30 years of age would then be stopped at a podium and asked to present identification, which would then be examined by two (2) security officers standing at the podium. In order to facilitate this identification process, additional lighting was installed over the podium. Individuals who presented apparently valid identification identifying them as 21 years of age or older would be permitted to walk further down the valet bridge to a point where the fourth security officer would stop them and re-examine their identification if they appeared to be under 21 years of age. In this way, each individual who appeared to be under 30 years of age was subjected to observation by four (4) security officers and identification checks by three (3) security officers before being allowed to progress through the valet bridge and into the casino itself. Based upon the actual experience in utilizing the gauntlet, the gauntlet was streamlined and the number of security officers regularly assigned to the gauntlet was reduced to a number that varies depending on volume in the facility, with no reduction in the effectiveness. Accordingly, the modified gauntlet has continued to operate.
4.: When the "gauntlet" was first established, security officers assigned to that post who were found to have admitted a minor to any of the casino facilities were promptly terminated. However, after MotorCity Casino management learned that the "gauntlet" post assignment was referred to by security personnel as the "unemployment line," the immediate termination policy was modified to provide for swift but progressive discipline of security officers for permitting a minor with visibly invalid identification to enter the casino facilities. The final step of this progressive discipline process remained termination of employment.
5.: During the first year of casino operations, MotorCity Casino purchased and utilized a "VeriFone" device that scans a driver's license by bar code and magnetic strip to identify false identification. The device was programmed for all fifty (50) states and some foreign countries. MotorCity Casino is currently using that device.
6.: All security officers received re-instruction, on a daily basis, at the commencement of each work shift, regarding their obligations and the procedures they were to follow with respect to the identification of minors.
7.: MotorCity Casino personnel developed and implemented the use of additional questions designed to assess whether or not apparently valid identification presented by a person was, in fact, valid. By

way of example, security officers were instructed to ask the person his/her middle name while holding the person's identification.

8.: Whenever an underage person is discovered in the casino facilities, it has been the practice to provide a prompt report to both the Michigan Gaming Control Board and the Michigan State Police so that the individual may be detained, arrested, and prosecuted.

In connection with implementing the above procedures, MotorCity Casino has worked and plans to continue to work closely with Michigan Gaming Control Board staff, the Michigan State Police and appropriate law enforcement authorities to maximize the effectiveness of MotorCity Casino's enforcement of the age restrictions set forth in the Act in a reasonable, responsible and legal manner under the standards established by our laws and our courts. In addition, Developer encourages the Michigan Gaming Control Board, law enforcement authorities and the Michigan legislature to recognize the existence and increasing sophistication of false identification and, accordingly, to develop appropriate additional tools and legislative responses (including appropriate additional penalties) that focus on the root of the problem—the minor offender and those persons who facilitate the use of false identification by a minor to gain access to a casino licensed under the Act.
