SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

(b) Relationship. This Litigation Trust Agreement is intended to create a trust and a trust relationship and to be governed and construed in all respects as a trust. The Litigation Trust is not intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be or treated as, a general partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, corporation, joint stock company or association, nor shall the Litigation Trustee, the Trust Governing Board (or any of its Directors), and the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, or any of them, for any purpose be, or be deemed to be or treated in any way whatsoever to be, liable or responsible hereunder as partners or joint venturers. The relationship of the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries to the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board shall be solely that of beneficiaries of a trust and shall not be deemed a principal or agency relationship, and their rights shall be limited to those conferred upon them by this Litigation Trust Agreement.

2.6 Cooperation of the Debtors and Reorganized Greektown. The Debtors and Reorganized Greektown, upon reasonable notice, shall provide information, to the extent the Debtors or Reorganized Greektown have such information, to the Litigation Trustee sufficient to enable the Litigation Trustee to perform its duties hereunder. The Debtors and Reorganized Greektown shall cooperate with the Litigation Trustee in the administration of the Litigation Trust, including, without limitation, in providing documentation, witness testimony, and other evidence in support of the prosecution of the Unsettled Bond Avoidance Action Claims. The Debtors and Reorganized Greektown shall from time to time and when reasonably requested by the Litigation Trustee execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such documents (in recordable form where necessary or appropriate) and the Debtors and Reorganized Greektown shall take or cause to be taken such further action as the Litigation Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to vest or perfect in or confirm to the Litigation Trustee title to and possession of the Litigation Trust Assets.

2.8 Relationship to, and Incorporation of, the Plan. The principal purpose of this Litigation Trust Agreement is to aid in the implementation of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, and therefore this Litigation Trust Agreement incorporates the provisions of the Plan and the Confirmation Order by this reference. To that end, the Litigation Trustee shall have full power and authority to take any action consistent with the purpose and provisions of the Plan, and to seek any orders from the Bankruptcy Court in furtherance of implementation of the Plan and this Litigation Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding section 1.6 of the Plan, if any provisions of this Litigation Trust Agreement are found to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, each such document shall have controlling effect in the following rank order: (i) the Confirmation Order; (ii) this Litigation Trust Agreement; and (iii) the Plan.

3.1 Litigation Trust Interests. Beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust will be represented by book entries on the books and records of the Litigation Trust.

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

3.2 Interests Beneficial Only. The ownership of a Litigation Trust Interest shall not entitle any Litigation Trust Beneficiary to any title in or to the assets of the Litigation Trust as such (which title shall be vested in the Litigation Trustee subject to Section 8.2 hereof) or to any right to call for a partition or division of the assets of the Litigation Trust or to require an accounting.

3.3 Identification of Holders of Litigation Trust Interests. The Litigation Trust will not issue any certificate or certificates to evidence any Litigation Trust Interests. The record holders of Litigation Trust Interests shall be recorded and set forth in a register maintained by the Litigation Trustee expressly for such purpose. Such register shall be updated monthly as General Unsecured Claims become Allowed. All references in this Litigation Trust Agreement to holders of Litigation Trust Interests shall be read to mean holders of record as set forth in the official register maintained by the Litigation Trustee and shall not mean any beneficial owner not recorded on such official registry. The distribution of Litigation Trust Assets to either a holder of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or to a holder of Allowed Bond Claims shall be accomplished as set forth in the Plan.

3.4 Non-Transferability of Litigation Trust Interests. No transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of any Litigation Trust Interests, either in whole or in part, shall be permitted except with respect to a transfer by will or under the laws of descent and distribution. Any transfer permitted under this Section 3.4 will not be effective until and unless the Litigation Trustee receives written notice of such transfer.

3.5 Exemption from Registration. The parties hereto intend that the rights of the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries arising under this Trust shall not be “securities” under applicable laws, but none of the parties hereto represent or warrant that such rights shall not be securities or shall be entitled to exemption from registration under applicable securities laws. If such rights constitute securities, the parties hereto intend for the exemption from registration provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and under applicable securities laws to apply to their issuance under the Plan.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.4 and Section 6.7 below, “Cause” shall be defined as: (i) theft or embezzlement or attempted theft or embezzlement of money or tangible or intangible assets or property; (ii) violation of any law (whether foreign or domestic), which results in a felony indictment or similar judicial proceeding; (iii) recklessness, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or knowing violation of law, in the performance of his or her duties; or (iv) failure to perform any of his or her other material duties under this Litigation Trust Agreement.

(c) To the extent there is any dispute regarding the removal of the Litigation Trustee (including any dispute relating to any compensation or expense reimbursement due under this Litigation Trust Agreement), the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to consider and adjudicate any such dispute and may remove the Litigation Trustee for Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Litigation Trustee will continue to serve as a trustee after his removal until the earlier of (a) the time when appointment of a successor Litigation Trustee will become effective in accordance with Section 5.5 of this Litigation Trust Agreement or (b) such date as the Bankruptcy Court otherwise orders.

5.5 Appointment of Successor Litigation Trustee. In the event of the death (in the case of a Litigation Trustee that is a natural person), dissolution (in the case of a Litigation Trustee that is not a natural person), resignation, incompetency, or removal of the Litigation Trustee, the Trust Governing Board shall designate a successor Litigation Trustee. Such appointment shall specify the date on which such appointment shall be effective. Every successor Litigation Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Bankruptcy Court and to the retiring Litigation Trustee an instrument accepting the appointment under this Litigation Trust Agreement and agreeing to be bound thereto, and thereupon the successor Litigation Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Litigation Trustee; provided, however, that a removed or resigning Litigation Trustee shall, nevertheless, when requested in writing by the successor Litigation Trustee, execute and deliver an instrument or instruments conveying and transferring to such successor Litigation Trustee under the Liquidating Trust all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of such predecessor Litigation Trustee.

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

5.6 Effect of Resignation or Removal. The death, resignation, incompetency or removal of the Litigation Trustee shall not operate to terminate the Litigation Trust created by this Litigation Trust Agreement or to revoke any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Litigation Trust Agreement or invalidate any action theretofore taken by the Litigation Trustee or any prior Litigation Trustee. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Litigation Trustee, such Litigation Trustee will promptly (a) execute and deliver such documents, instruments and other writings as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or reasonably requested by the successor Litigation Trustee to effect the termination of such Litigation Trustee’s capacity under this Litigation Trust Agreement, (b) deliver to the Bankruptcy Court or the successor Litigation Trustee all documents, instruments, records and other writings related to the Litigation Trust as may be in the possession of such Litigation Trustee (provided that such Litigation Trustee may retain one copy of such documents for archival purposes) and (c) otherwise assist and cooperate in effecting the assumption of its obligations and functions by such successor Litigation Trustee.

5.7 Confidentiality. The Litigation Trustee shall, during the period that it/he/she serves as Litigation Trustee under this Litigation Trust Agreement and following the termination of this Litigation Trust Agreement or following its/his/her removal or resignation hereunder, hold strictly confidential and not use for personal gain any material, non-public information of or pertaining to any entity to which any of the Litigation Trust Assets relates or of which it/he/she has become aware in its/his/her capacity as Litigation Trustee, except as otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE VI
TRUST GOVERNING BOARD

6.1 The Trust Governing Board. On the Effective Date, a governing board of three (3) persons or entities shall commence serving as directors of the Litigation Trust. The Trust Governing Board shall initially consist of three (3) directors (each, a “Director”) selected by the Creditors’ Committee, with the prior consent of the other Noteholder Plan Proponents, as follows:

[LIST TRUST GOVERNING BOARD DIRECTORS];

provided, however, that if the Creditors’ Committee and the other Noteholder Proponents cannot agree on three (3) directors, then the initial Directors will be nominated by the United States Trustee and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing.

6.2 Authority and Responsibilities. The Trust Governing Board shall have the authority and responsibility to oversee, review, and guide the activities and performance of the Litigation Trustee and shall have the authority to remove the Litigation Trustee in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. The Trust Governing Board shall also (a) monitor and review the fairness of settlement, abandonment and other disposition proposals proposed to or agreed to by the Litigation Trustee with respect to the Litigation Claims (including any counterclaims), (b) monitor and oversee the administration of the Litigation Trust and the Litigation Trustee’s performance of its responsibilities under this Litigation Trust Agreement and/or the Plan, and (c) perform such other tasks as set forth in this Litigation Trust Agreement and/or in the Plan. In all

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

circumstances, except as explicitly provided herein, the Trust Governing Board shall exercise its responsibilities under the Litigation Trust consistent with fiduciary standards. In all circumstances, the Trust Governing Board shall act in the best interests of all beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust and in furtherance of the purpose of the Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee shall consult with and provide information to the Trust Governing Board in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of this Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan.

6.3 Meetings of the Trust Governing Board. Meetings of the Trust Governing Board are to be held with such frequency and at such place as the Litigation Trustee and the Directors of the Trust Governing Board may determine in their reasonable discretion, but in no event shall such meetings be held less frequently than once every six (6) months. Special meetings of the Trust Governing Board may be held whenever and wherever called for by the Litigation Trustee or any two Directors of the Trust Governing Board. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Trust Governing Board at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by unanimous written consent of the Trust Governing Board as evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by all Directors of the Trust Governing Board and recorded in the minutes, if any, or other transcript, if any, of proceedings of the Trust Governing Board. Unless the Trust Governing Board decides otherwise (which decision shall rest in the sole discretion of the Trust Governing Board, whether or not such decision is reasonable), the Litigation Trustee and its/his/her designated advisors may attend meetings of the Trust Governing Board.

6.4 Manner of Acting. Two Directors of the Trust Governing Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Trust Governing Board. The affirmative vote of two of the Directors of the Trust Governing Board present at a meeting shall be the act of the Trust Governing Board except as otherwise required by law or as provided in this Litigation Trust Agreement. Any or all of the Directors of the Trust Governing Board may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting may hear each other, in which case any required notice of such meeting may generally describe the arrangements (rather than or in addition to the place) for the holding thereof. Any Director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. Voting (including on negative notice) may, if approved by the Directors at a meeting, be conducted by electronic mail or individual communications by the Litigation Trustee and each Director of the Trust Governing Board.

6.5 Tenure of the Members of the Trust Governing Board. The authority of the Directors of the Trust Governing Board will be effective as of the Effective Date and will remain and continue in full force and effect until the Litigation Trust is terminated in accordance with Article IX hereof. The Directors of the Trust Governing Board will serve until death or resignation pursuant to Section 6.6 below, or removal pursuant to Section 6.7 below.

6.6 Resignation. A Trust Governing Board Director may resign by giving not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Litigation Trustee and the other Trust Governing Board Directors. Such resignation shall become effective on the later to occur of: (i) the day specified in such notice; and (ii) the appointment of a successor in accordance with Section 6.8 below.

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

6.7 Removal. A Director of the Trust Governing Board may be removed by the unanimous vote of the other Directors of the Trust Governing Board, written resolution of which shall be delivered to the removed Trust Governing Board Director; provided, however, that such removal may only be made for Cause.

6.8 Appointment of a Successor Trust Governing Board Director.

(a) In the event of a vacancy on the Trust Governing Board (whether by removal, death, or resignation), a new Director may be appointed to fill such position by the remaining Directors of the Trust Governing Board. The appointment of a successor Director of the Trust Governing Board will be evidenced by the Litigation Trustee’s filing with the Bankruptcy Court of a notice of appointment, which notice will include the name, address, and telephone number of the successor Director of the Trust Governing Board.

(b) Immediately upon the appointment of any successor Director of the Trust Governing Board, all rights, powers, duties, authority, and privileges of the predecessor Director of the Trust Governing Board hereunder will be vested in and undertaken by the successor Director of the Trust Governing Board without any further act; and the successor Director of the Trust Governing Board will not be liable personally for any act or omission of the predecessor Director of the Trust Governing Board.

(c) Every successor Trust Governing Board Director appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Litigation Trustee and other Trust Governing Board Directors an instrument accepting the appointment under this Litigation Trust Agreement and agreeing to be bound thereto, and thereupon the successor Trust Governing Board Director without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trust Governing Board Director.

6.9 Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses. The Litigation Trust will reimburse the Directors of the Trust Governing Board for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Directors in connection with the performance of each of their duties hereunder. All fees and expenses of Trust Governing Board Directors shall be paid solely from Litigation Trust Assets as Litigation Claims Costs.

ARTICLE VII
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 No Further Liability. Each of the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board Directors shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith and reasonably believed by it/him/her to be authorized within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it/him/her in accordance with this Litigation Trust Agreement. In performing its/his/her duties under this Litigation Trust Agreement, each of the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board Directors shall have no liability for any action taken by the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board Directors in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers and other professionals retained by the Trust Governing Board Directors or the Litigation Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board Directors may rely without independent investigation on copies

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

of orders of the Bankruptcy Court reasonably believed by them to be genuine, and shall have no liability for actions taken in good faith in reliance thereon. None of the provisions of this Litigation Trust Agreement shall require the Litigation Trustee or the Trust Governing Board Directors to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of their rights and powers. Each of the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board Directors may rely without inquiry upon writings delivered to it/him/her under the Plan which it/he/she reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been given by a proper Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.1 shall relieve the Litigation Trustee or the Trust Governing Board Directors from any liability for any actions or omissions arising out of their gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or knowing violation of law.

7.2 Indemnification of the Litigation Trustee and Trust Governing Board.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Litigation Trust, to the extent of its assets legally available for that purpose, will indemnify and hold harmless the Litigation Trustee and the Trust Governing Board and each of their respective directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, agents, professionals or employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys and other advisors and any court costs incurred by any Indemnified Person) or liability by reason of anything any Indemnified Person did, does or refrains from doing for the business or affairs of the Litigation Trust, except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the loss, cost, damage, expense or liability resulted primarily from the Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or knowing violation of law. To the extent reasonable, the Litigation Trust will pay in advance or reimburse reasonable expenses (including advancing reasonable costs of defense) incurred by the Indemnified Person who is or is threatened to be named or made a defendant or a respondent in a proceeding concerning the affairs of the Litigation Trust.

(b) The Litigation Trust, with the approval of all the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, may indemnify any of the Indemnified Persons for any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability for which the Indemnified Persons would not be entitled to mandatory indemnification under this Section 7.2.

(c) Any Indemnified Person may waive the benefits of indemnification under this Section 7.2, but only by an instrument in writing executed by such Indemnified Person.

(d) The rights to indemnification under this Section 7.2 are not exclusive of other rights which any Indemnified Person may otherwise have at law or in equity, including without limitation common law rights to indemnification or contribution. Nothing in this Section 7.2 will affect the rights or obligations of any Person (or the limitations on those rights or obligations) under any other agreement or instrument to which that Person is a party.

7.3 Litigation Trust Liabilities. All liabilities of the Litigation Trust, including without limitation indemnity obligations under Section 7.1 or 7.2 of this Litigation Trust Agreement, will be liabilities of the Litigation Trust as an entity, and will be paid or satisfied

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

from Litigation Trust Assets in accordance with the Litigation Distribution Schedule as Litigation Claims Costs. No liability of the Litigation Trust will be payable in whole or in part by any Litigation Trust Beneficiary in its/his/her capacity as a Litigation Trust Beneficiary, by the Litigation Trustee in its/his/her capacity as Litigation Trustee, by any Trust Governing Board Director in its/his/her capacity as Trust Governing Board Director or by any member, partner, shareholder, director, officer, professional, employees, agent, affiliate or advisor of any Litigation Trust Beneficiary, any Trust Governing Board Director, the Litigation Trustee or their respective affiliates.

ARTICLE VIII
TAX MATTERS

8.1 Litigation Trust Assets Treated as Owned by Creditors. For all U.S. federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, Reorganized Greektown, the Litigation Trustee and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims) shall treat the transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets to the Litigation Trust including any amounts or other assets subsequently transferred to the Litigation Trust (but only at such time as actually transferred) for the benefit of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule as (i) a transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets, for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including sections 61(a)(12), 483, 1001, 1012, and 1274), directly to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, followed by (ii) the transfer by such persons to the Litigation Trust of such Litigation Trust Assets in exchange for beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust. Accordingly, subject to Section 8.2(c) of this Litigation Trust Agreement, the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective shares of the applicable Litigation Trust Assets.

8.2 Tax Reporting.

(a) Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the issuance of applicable Treasury Regulations, the receipt by the Litigation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Litigation Trustee), all parties shall treat the Litigation Trust as a “liquidating trust” in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), of which the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries are the grantors and beneficiaries. In the event an alternative treatment of the Litigation Trust is required for federal income tax purposes, the Litigation Trustee shall promptly notify in writing (or by comparable means) all holders of beneficial interests in the Litigation Trust, and anyone who subsequently becomes a holder, of such alternative treatment. The Litigation Trustee shall file returns for the Litigation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with this Section 8.2. The Litigation Trustee also shall send annually to each record holder of a beneficial interest in the Litigation Trust a separate statement setting forth such holder’s share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

credit and shall instruct all such holders to report such items on their federal income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to the beneficial holders with instructions to report such items on their federal income tax returns. The Litigation Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statements, returns, or disclosures relating to the Litigation Trust that are required by any governmental unit. Subject to Section 8.2(c) below, (i) the Litigation Trust’s taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any restrictions on distribution described in the Plan) if, immediately prior to the deemed distribution, the Litigation Trust had distributed all of its other assets (valued at their tax book value) in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement, up to the tax book value of the Litigation Trust Assets treated as contributed by the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss, and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Litigation Trust; (ii) the Litigation Trust’s taxable loss shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining assets of the Litigation Trust; and (iii) each holder’s relative share of each tax item shall be the same as the holder’s relative share of every other tax item.

(b) As soon as possible after the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee, in reliance upon such professionals as the Litigation Trustee may retain, and after consultation with the Put Parties shall make a good faith valuation of the value of the Litigation Trust Assets. Such valuation shall be made available from time to time, to the extent relevant as reasonably determined by the Litigation Trustee in reliance on his/her professionals, and used consistently by all parties (including, without limitation, the Litigation Trustee, and the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries) for all purposes, including federal income tax purposes.

(c) Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Litigation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trustee requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon an audit if not contested by the Litigation Trustee), the Litigation Trustee shall (i) make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 to treat the LT Disputed Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of that section; (ii) treat as taxable income or loss of the LT Disputed Claims Reserve, with respect to any given taxable year, the portion of the taxable income or loss of the Litigation Trust that would have been allocated to the holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims had such Claims been Allowed on the Effective Date (but only for the portion of the taxable year with respect to which such Claims are unresolved), (iii) treat as a distribution from the LT Disputed Claims Reserve any assets previously allocated to or retained on account of Disputed General Unsecured Claims as and when, and to the extent, such claims are subsequently resolved (following which time such assets shall no longer be held in the LT Disputed Claims Reserve), and (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistent with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes (including making any appropriate elections). The holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Allowed Bond Claims, whether Allowed on or after the Effective Date, and such other beneficiaries as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule shall report, for tax purposes, consistent with the foregoing.

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

(d) The Litigation Trustee shall be responsible for payments, out of the Litigation Trust Assets, of any taxes imposed on the Litigation Trust or the Litigation Trust Assets, including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve.

(e) The Litigation Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes of the Litigation Trust, including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve, under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for all returns filed for, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust for all taxable periods through the dissolution of the Litigation Trust (including the LT Disputed Claims Reserve).

(f) The Litigation Trustee may withhold distributions, or may withhold tax from distributions, to any Litigation Trust Beneficiary until such Litigation Trust Beneficiary provides a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number, or a valid certification of foreign status, for tax reporting purposes.

8.3 Each holder of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, whether allowed on or after the Effective Date, and each other beneficiary as described in the Litigation Distribution Schedule, acting in a non-fiduciary capacity, and without the consent or approval of any Person acting in a fiduciary capacity, may, prior to the dissolution of the Litigation Trust, re-acquire the portion of the Litigation Trust equal to his, her or its respective share of the applicable Litigation Trust Assets by substituting other property of equivalent value.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF LITIGATION TRUST

9.1 Termination of Litigation Trust. The Litigation Trustee, the Trust Governing Board and the Litigation Trust shall be discharged or dissolved, as the case may be, at such time as (i) the Litigation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional Unsettled Bond Avoidance Action Claims is not likely to yield sufficient additional Litigation Claims Proceeds to justify further pursuit of such claims and (ii) all distributions of Litigation Claims Proceeds required to be made by the Litigation Trustee under the Plan have been made, but in no event shall the Litigation Trust be dissolved later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six (6) month period prior to such fifth (5th) anniversary (and, in the event for further extension, at least six (6) months prior to the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable letter ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Litigation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on and liquidation of the Litigation Trust Assets. Upon dissolution of the Litigation Trust, any remaining Litigation Trust Assets shall be distributed in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement (which shall include the Litigation Distribution Schedule).

ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

10.1 Amendment and Waiver. Any substantive provision of this Litigation Trust Agreement may be amended or waived by the Litigation Trustee, upon notice and unanimous

SUBJECT TO REVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN

approval by the Trust Governing Board and approval of the Bankruptcy Court after proper notice, including to Reorganized Greektown. Technical amendments to this Litigation Trust Agreement may be made, as necessary to clarify this Litigation Trust Agreement or enable the Litigation Trustee to effectuate the terms of this Litigation Trust Agreement, by the Litigation Trustee with approval by a majority of the Trust Governing Board; provided, however, that all amendments of this Litigation Trust Agreement shall be consistent with the purpose and intention of the Litigation Trust to liquidate in an expeditious but orderly manner the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d) and Section 2.5 hereof.

ARTICLE XI
