THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 to TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made as of the 6th day of December, 2002, with reference to the Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 22, 2002, by and between Freemantle Limited, a corporation organized in the Isle of Man ("Lender"), and Seneca Niagara Falls Gaming Corporation ("Borrower"), a tribally chartered corporation formed by the Seneca Nation of Indians, a federally recognized Indian Tribe and Native American sovereign nation (the "Nation").

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement the Borrower agreed to borrow from Lender, and the Lender agreed to lend to the Borrower, an aggregate amount equal to Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000) (the "Loan"), of which an aggregate amount equal to Twenty Seven Million Dollars ($27,000,000) has previously been disbursed in three disbursements: (i) two disbursements in an aggregate amount equal to Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000) have been disbursed pursuant to an interim term loan agreement dated October 23, 2002 (the "Interim Term Loan Agreement"), of which (a) on October 23, 2002, the first disbursement of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the "First Interim Disbursement") was used solely for the purpose of financing the certain costs of the Project, as provided in the Interim Term Loan Agreement; and (b) on November 1, 2002, the second disbursement of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "Second Interim Disbursement") was used by the Borrower to reimburse the Nation for the cost of certain pre-development activities, and to distribute to the Nation additional funds for operating costs of the Nation; and (ii) on November 22, 2002, the third disbursement of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) (the "Third Disbursement") has been disbursed pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement (which Term Loan Agreement superceded the Interim Term Loan Agreement) for the purpose of financing the Construction and Indirect Costs and expenses of the Project, including, without limitation, costs and expenses associated with pre-development, pre-opening, development, personnel and other similar costs (the "Approved Costs"), as described in the Term Loan Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, the Lender is this day making an additional disbursement of the Loan, in an aggregate amount equal to Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000), to Borrower, to be allocated and used solely for the purpose of financing certain Approved Costs as described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower, acting with the consent of the Lender in accordance with Section 14.7 of the Term Loan Agreement, hereby agrees to amend the Term Loan Agreement as follows:

1.1. Amendment to Section 2.1—Advances.

Section 2.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby supplemented as follows:

The Borrower acknowledges that Lender has previously disbursed, as part of the Second Disbursement, the amount of $1,950,000 for purposes of acquisition of the approximately 5.25 acre parking lot parcel, currently owned by the City of Niagara Falls ("City") and located immediately adjacent, to the east, to the Facility (the "Parking Lot"), but that such Parking Lot has not yet been acquired. Due to various costs of developing the Project, Borrower has informed Lender that it may need additional funds to complete acquisition of such Parking Lot. Accordingly, Borrower has requested that Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of the Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000) Advance to be disbursed on the date hereof (the "Fourth Disbursement") be allocated and available to fund any or all of (i) a portion of the acquisition cost of the Parking Lot, to the extent the Borrower does not have sufficient funds remaining from prior Advances for purposes of completing such acquisition, and/or (ii) other Approved Costs.

To the extent and at the time that Borrower requires some or all of the aforesaid $2,000,000 to complete acquisition of the Parking Lot and/or for payment of other Approved Costs such funds shall

promptly be made available to Borrower for such purpose. Pending submission of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender demonstrating such requirements, including a budget detailing the other Approved Costs, such $2,000,000 shall be held back by Lender in an interest bearing escrow account, provided that such funds shall nevertheless be treated as an Advance as of the date hereof and shall accordingly bear interest at the Fixed Rate. To the extent that Borrower does not require some or all of the aforesaid $2,000,000 to complete acquisition of the Parking Lot or to pay other Approved Costs, in either event prior to December 22, 2002, such funds shall be made available to Borrower in connection with the next Advance under the Term Loan Agreement, currently anticipated to be made on or about December 22, 2002, for Approved Costs.

1.2. Amendments to Section 8.1—Affirmative Covenants and Environmental Agreement of Borrower Applicable throughout the Term.

Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended to add affirmative covenants as Sections 8.1(uu) and (vv):

(uu) At the time of purchase of the Parking Lot by the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver an amendment to the Leasehold Mortgage (Indirect Costs) so as to spread the collateral granted thereunder to include a first priority fee mortgage on the Parking Lot in favor of the Lender as additional collateral for the Lan, and shall comply with all requirements of the Term Loan Agreement relating to the status of the Parking Lot as After-Acquired Property, including the delivery of a satisfactory lender's title insurance policy (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances), satisfaction of applicable Legal Requirements (including approval of the Secretary of such mortgage, if required) and compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(hh) of the Term Loan Agreement. Such mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority interest in the Parking Lot herein securing the Loan, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.

(vv) Borrower intends to sell the Parking Lot to the Nation at a later date. Such sale shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) simultaneously with such sale, the Nation shall lease back the Parking Lot to the Borrower on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Lender, provided further that any rent paid to the Nation with respect to such Parking Lot shall in all events be subordinate to payment of (a) Current Interest, Variable Interest, Fixed Interest and principal under the Term Loan Agreement, and (b) required deposits into the Sinking Fund Account; (ii) the mortgaged property granted in the Leasehold Mortgage (Indirect Costs) will be spread to include a perfected first priority leasehold mortgage on its leasehold interest in the Parking Lot, and shall satisfy all applicable requirements of the Term Loan Agreement relating to the status of the Parking Lot as After-Acquired Property; (iii) to the extent that the cash portion of the sale price to the Nation that is paid to the Borrower at the time of transfer is less than the price paid by the Borrower to acquire the Parking Lot, such difference shall be deemed a distribution by the Borrower to the Nation at the time of such transfer, and Borrower agrees that it will not consummate such sale to the Nation until such time as Borrower would be permitted to make a distribution in such amount as a Permitted Transfer in conformance with Section 8.3(e); (iv) such deemed distribution shall be treated as a distribution for all purposes under the Term Loan Agreement, including without limitation Section 8.3(e); and (v) the proceeds of sale to the Nation shall be invested by the Borrower in the Project. Any transfer of the Parking Lot without satisfaction of the foregoing conditions shall be a breach of the Term Loan Agreement. Subject to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions at the time of such transfer, Lender shall subordinate and/or release its fee mortgage on the Parking Lot to the interest of the Nation, such that it thereafter holds solely the leasehold mortgage described in clause (ii) above.

By way of illustration of subparagraph (vv), clause (iii), assume that the Borrower purchases the Parking Lot for $2,000,000 and sells the Parking Lot to the Nation for $1,500,000. Such transaction will be treated as though the Nation actually paid $2,000,000 to the Borrower for the Parking Lot, and the Borrower immediately made a $500,000 distribution to the Nation. The Borrower would not be permitted to engage in such transaction unless at the time of transfer it is otherwise permitted to make a $500,000 distribution to the Nation.

By way of illustration of subparagraph (vv), clause (iv), assume that the sale of the Parking Lot occurred in June 2004 as described in the preceding paragraph and that, at the end of calendar year 2004, the Borrower would be entitled to make a distribution to the Nation of $20,000,000 as a Permitted Transfer in respect of calendar year 2004. In making such distribution, the actual amount of cash distributable to the Nation would be $19,500,000 since the Borrower would be deemed already to have made a distribution of $500,000.

1.3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment, and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Amendment. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Borrower, and this Amendment constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with the terms set forth in the Term Loan Agreement;

(b) Giving effect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the agreements referred to herein, and to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, no Event of Default under the Term Loan Agreement has occurred and remains continuing;

(c) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Term Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment.

1.4. Conditions; Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the condition precedents that:

(a) The Lender shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower;

(b) The Borrower shall have adopted such authorizing resolutions as are appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Lender's counsel, for such parties to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under this Amendment.

1.5. No Waiver. The waivers and consents contained in this Amendment are limited to the matters expressed herein and do not constitute, nor should they be construed as, a waiver of any other right, power or privilege under the Loan Documents, or under an agreement, contract, indenture, document or instrument mentioned in the Loan Documents.

1.6. Effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement. Except as hereby expressly amended, the Term Loan Agreement remains in full force and effect, and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, including without limitation (i) the Borrower's waiver of sovereign immunity and consent to suit, consent to personal jurisdiction and service of process and waiver of right to jury trial, and (ii) the governing law provisions thereof.

1.7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original for all purposes, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(signatures follow immediately)

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have each caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date and year first above written.

During the portion of the Term beginning on the day after Project Completion and continuing through the Interest Accrual Period ending on December 31, 2003, Borrower shall pay Variable Interest on a monthly basis in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, in an amount equal to nine and ninety-nine one hundredths of one percent (9.99%) of the EBITDA of the Borrower for the calendar month prior to such Interest Payment Date. By way of illustration, the Variable Interest payment due on March 15, 2003 would be based on the EBITDA of the Borrower for the calendar month of February, 2003. Within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the audited financial statements for the fiscal year of Borrower ending on September 30, 2003 pursuant to Section 13.1, the Borrower shall adjust the amount of Variable Interest paid in respect of such fiscal year by either paying additional Variable Interest in an amount computed by subtracting (x) the sum of the monthly Variable Interest payments previously made by Borrower in respect of such fiscal year from (y) nine and ninety-nine one hundredths of one percent (9.99%) of the actual EBITDA set forth in such financial statements for such fiscal year, or, if the resulting difference is negative, by crediting the difference against each successive monthly payment of Fixed Interest by Borrower until fully reimbursed to the Borrower. Each payment of Variable Interest shall be accompanied by Borrower's detailed computation of the amount of such payment and a copy of its financial statements upon which such computation is based.

3.3. Cash Account. Borrower shall establish and at all times maintain, for the benefit of the Lender, the Cash Account, which shall be an Eligible Account pursuant to the Cash Collateral Account Agreement. Such Account shall be established in a manner consistent with the terms of the Security Agreement, such that the Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the funds held in the Cash Account from time to time, provided that the Cash Account need not be in the name of the Lender. Borrower shall deposit into such Cash Account all gross revenues generated by the Project or the Borrower from any source, following which such funds shall be swept into the operating account of the Borrower (the "Operating Account") in accordance with the Cash Collateral Account Agreement; provided however, that the Borrower shall maintain, commencing as of June 30, 2003 and continuing at all times until the Maturity Date, an Available Cash Balance of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), calculated on a monthly average basis, plus an amount equal to the pro rata quarterly or annual required amount of unpaid deposits to the Sinking Fund Account for the applicable Fiscal Year (e.g., in the month of July, 2004, a year in which the Sinking Fund Deposit of $12,000,000 is due on December 31, 2004, the Borrower would be required to have an Available Cash Balance of $16,000,000, reflecting $10,000,000 plus six months of accrual toward the Sinking Fund Account deposit). Notwithstanding deposit of such gross revenues in the Cash Account and transfer of such amounts into the Operating Account, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Default would occur as a result of such use, (iii) the total expenditures described in subparagraph (c) of this Section 3.3 during any fiscal year of Borrower will not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Project's gross revenues for such fiscal year, without Borrower having obtained Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iv) the required deposits have been made into the Sinking Fund Account pursuant to Section 3.5, then Borrower may withdraw funds from the Operating Account in order to pay the following categories of expenditures (each, a "Permitted Use of Cash Flow"):

(a) for paying Interest Charges and principal on the Loan and on any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder or otherwise incurred with the consent of the Lender and for paying rent under leases of capital equipment permitted hereunder and Trade Payables incurred by Borrower;

(b) for funding any net increase in the working capital requirements of Borrower for the operation (following its completion) of the Project;

(d) the costs of operation on the Land or in the Project of any casino facilities, hotel facilities, shopping, restaurant, lounge and entertainment facilities, parking garage, food and beverage preparation and other service and related amenities, all pre-opening services, and all facilities and activities related to the conduct or operation of the Project, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied;

(e) for making monthly rental payments not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to the Nation in connection with the Head Lease; provided however that (i) any amount of rent owed to the Nation shall be paid in each month at least one Banking Day after such month's Interest Payment Date and only after Lender has received all monthly Current Interest and Variable Interest payments, or Fixed Interest payments, as the case may be, on the Loan then due in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and only after required deposits into the Sinking Fund Account in accordance with Section 3.5, plus any other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement; (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no rent shall be paid to the Nation under the Head Lease; (iii) as of the Maturity Date, no rent shall be payable under the Head Lease until the Lender has received all amounts then due under the Loan; and (iv) in the event of the foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgages, the monthly rental payment and any other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Nation shall be reduced to One Dollar ($1.00) until all amounts due under the Loan have been repaid in full.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement, all funds of Borrower deposited in the Cash Account may only be applied by Borrower for Permitted Uses of Cash Flow; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw from the Cash Account funds in excess of those used for Permitted Uses of Cash Flow for the purpose of making Permitted Transfers. The Borrower shall submit a monthly financial report to the Lender computing, on a monthly and year-to-date basis in a format and with a level of detail reasonably acceptable to the Lender, the amount of deposits and withdrawals from the Cash Account, the Permitted Uses of Cash Flow, Available Cash Flow, Available Cash Balance, the Debt Service Coverage Threshold, the amount of Permitted Transfers, calculations sufficient to demonstrate that all transfers of funds to the Nation or any Affiliate and all Restricted Investments made by the Borrower constitute Permitted Transfers and a copy of Borrower's financial statements upon which such computation is made.

3.4. Shortfall. (a) During the portion of the Term beginning on the day after Project Completion and continuing through the Interest Accrual Period ending on December 31, 2003, on each Interest Payment Date corresponding to such portion of the Term, the Borrower shall calculate an amount (herein, the "Shortfall") equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of Fixed Interest accrued as of such date on the principal outstanding under the Loan from time to time (including all additions to principal hereunder pursuant to Section 3.4(b)), over (ii) the aggregate amount of Current Interest, Variable Interest and Fixed Interest (if any) paid on such Interest Payment Date. The Shortfall shall be added to the outstanding principal hereunder in accordance with Section 3.4(b), provided that payment of such aggregate Shortfall by the Borrower shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date; provided further, that such Shortfall shall continue to accrue interest at the Fixed Rate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4(b).

(b) The Shortfall amount, as determined in accordance with Section 3.4(a), shall be added to the outstanding principal under the Loan or the Permanent Loan, as the case may be, on each Interest Payment Date, and shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate until repaid in full.

3.5. Sinking Fund.

(a) The Borrower shall, prior to Project Completion, establish and maintain a Sinking Fund Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, pursuant to a control agreement to be entered into by the Lender, the Borrower and an Eligible Institution. Such Account shall be held as additional collateral

for the benefit of the Lender until the Maturity Date, shall be established in a manner consistent with the terms of the Security Agreement, in the name of and for the benefit of the Lender, or in such other manner as the parties may agree such that the Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the funds held in the Sinking Fund Account from time to time (the "Sinking Fund Account").

(b) As additional collateral for the Loan, the Borrower will deposit funds into the Sinking Fund Account, commencing on or before December 31, 2003 as follows:

Year	Period of Time	Deposit	Timing of Deposit
1	November 22, 2002 through December 31, 2003	Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000)	Year end: On or before December 31, 2003
2	January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004	Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000)	Year end: On or before December 31, 2004
3	January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005	Twenty-two Million Dollars ($22,000,000)	Four equal quarterly payments, each made on or before the last day of the fiscal quarters of calendar year 2005
4	January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006	Twenty-two Million Dollars ($22,000,000)	Four equal quarterly payments, each made on or before the last day of the fiscal quarters of calendar year 2006
5	January 1, 2007 through the Maturity Date	Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000)	Three equal quarterly payments, each made on or before the last day of the first three fiscal quarters of calendar year 2007, and one equal quarterly payment made on or before the Maturity Date

(c) Any interest or dividends earned on amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account shall remain on deposit therein, and shall not be withdrawn from the Sinking Fund Account; provided that if and when the Borrower enters into an unconditional bank loan commitment or irrevocable standby letter of credit as described in clause (g) below, such interest and dividends may be withdrawn; provided further, no additional deposits shall thereafter be required to be made into the Sinking Fund Account.

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be permitted to direct the investment of funds from time to time held in the Sinking Fund Account in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall be permitted to direct the investment of funds held in the Sinking Fund Account in Permitted Investments. Any income earned thereon shall remain on deposit in and constitute part of the Sinking Fund Account. Such income shall not reduce the obligation of the Borrower to contribute the deposit set forth in Section 3.5(b).

(e) Borrower shall be solely responsible in all circumstances for any loss of interest and principal of invested funds in the Sinking Fund Account. In the event of any such loss of principal, Borrower shall deposit in the Sinking Fund Account an amount sufficient such that the total amount on deposit equals at least the aggregate amount required to be in the Sinking Fund Account as of such date in accordance with the table set forth in Section 3.5(b) herein.

(f) At the Maturity Date, Borrower shall be permitted to use the funds on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account to pay to the Lender the amounts then due and payable under the Loan. After payment

of all such amounts, any amounts remaining in the Sinking Fund Account shall be paid to the Borrower or as Borrower directs.

(g) Borrower may elect on or after January 1, 2003 to obtain an unconditional bank loan commitment or irrevocable standby letter of credit from an Eligible Institution that meets the following conditions: (1) Borrower obtains prior written consent of Lender (including approval of the form of such bank commitment or letter of credit), (A) which may be granted or denied in Lender's sole and absolute discretion in connection with the unconditional bank loan commitment and (B) which may be granted or denied subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender in connection with the irrevocable standby letter of credit; (2) Borrower assigns such unconditional bank loan commitment for the Lender's benefit or opens the irrevocable standby letter of credit from an Eligible Institution for the benefit of the Lender; (3) the expiration date of such unconditional bank loan commitment or irrevocable standby letter of credit is at least ten (10) Banking Days after the Maturity Date; (4) the aggregate principal amount thereof is at least equal to the difference between (x) Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000) and (y) the amounts then on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account, pursuant to Section 3.5(b); provided further that upon delivery of such unconditional bank loan commitment or irrevocable standby letter of credit, no further deposits shall be required to be made into the Sinking Fund and, subject to the Borrower's compliance with any conditions required of it by such bank loan commitment or letter of credit, the limitations on the incurrence of additional Recourse Obligations set forth in Section 8.3(e) hereto shall be waived at the later of (1) January 1, 2006 or (2) obtaining an unconditional bank loan commitment or an irrevocable standby letter of credit.

3.6. Bankruptcy. Borrower and the Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that upon the commencement of any proceeding by or in respect of Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) or the commencement of any debt arrangement, dissolution, winding up, or composition or readjustment of debts, the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, sequestrator (or other similar official) for Borrower for all or substantially all of its assets (an "Insolvency Proceeding"), the collateral in the Cash Account, the Sinking Fund Account and all proceeds thereof shall be deemed not to be property of Borrower or its bankruptcy or insolvency estate or included in property to be administered in any such Insolvency Proceeding (the "Bankruptcy Estate") (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code), to the extent permitted by applicable law. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization by Borrower and Lender of the Cash Account, the Sinking Fund Account and all proceeds thereof, the Cash Account, the Sinking Fund Account and/or any proceeds thereof shall be held to constitute property of Borrower's Bankruptcy Estate, then Borrower and the Lender hereby further acknowledge and agree that all such Cash Account, Sinking Fund Account and all proceeds thereof, are and shall be cash collateral of the Lender.

3.7. Defeasance. The Permanent Loan, after it is fully drawn in the amount of $80,000,000, including any additions to principal under Section 3.4(b), will be subject to defeasance as provided in Exhibit D.

3.8. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any unresolved dispute between the parties as to (i) the amount of any Variable Interest payment, or (ii) the amount of cash that Borrower is entitled to withdraw from the Cash Account or Operating Account, whether as Permitted Uses of Cash Flow or Permitted Transfers, the parties shall submit such dispute to an internationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm, mutually acceptable to the parties, whose resolution shall be conclusive. In connection therewith, each party shall submit to the accounting firm its computation relating to the amount of cash that the Borrower is permitted to withdraw. In the event that such accounting firm determines that the Borrower withdrew from the Cash Account or Operating Account an amount that it was not entitled to withdraw, the Borrower shall re-deposit such amount in the Cash

Account or Operating Account within ten (10) days of the date of the resolution. All fees payable to the accounting firm and other costs incurred by the parties in respect of the dispute shall be borne and paid by the party whose computation is furthest from the resolution determined by the accounting firm.

3.9. Making of Payments. (a) Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or under any other Loan Documents shall be made, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, in immediately available funds to Lender by deposit to Lender's account, as Lender may have last designated by notice to Borrower. Such payment shall be initiated by Borrower at the earliest possible time on the date such payment is due, with instructions for such payment given on the preceding date.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day.

3.10. Computations and Prorations. Fixed Interest payable hereunder by Borrower to be prorated hereunder shall be computed or prorated, as the case may be, on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Lender shall endeavor to notify Borrower in writing of the amount of Fixed Interest due with respect to such month as of the Interest Determination Date.

3.11. Certain Tax Matters. (a) Borrower and Lender agree to treat all amounts payable under this Agreement as exempt from United States withholding tax imposed under Sections 881(a), 1442 and 1446 of the Code because such amounts constitute either principal or interest that qualifies for the "portfolio interest" exemption pursuant to Code Section 881(c)(2)(B) (or, in the case of certain fees, constitute non-U.S. source income), and Borrower and Lender agree to treat such amounts consistently with the foregoing agreement for all purposes (including for purposes of any reports or returns).

(b) Each payment by Borrower under this Agreement shall, except as required by law, be made without withholding or deduction on account of any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof, specifically excluding taxes imposed by other jurisdictions on a net income basis ("Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any such payment, Borrower shall pay such additional amount ("Additional Amount") as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Lender free and clear of such withholding or deduction is equal to the amount that Lender would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and shall pay such withheld or deducted amounts on a timely basis to the relevant tax authority. Borrower shall pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender for any and all Taxes (and any interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed on any amounts payable under this Agreement (including any amounts payable under this Section 3.11), whether such Taxes, interest and penalties are imposed on Borrower or Lender, and shall pay all costs incurred by Lender relating to such Taxes or any contest thereof. If the Lender pays any Taxes or other amounts that the Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this Section 3.11, the Borrower shall indemnify it on demand in full, together with interest thereon from and including the date of payment to but excluding the date of reimbursement at the Fixed Rate. Within 30 days after payment of any Taxes subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender an official receipt or a certified copy thereof evidencing such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts or to indemnify and hold harmless Lender (including any successor or assignee) in respect of Taxes that would not have been imposed but for (i) the incorrectness of the representation set forth in Section 3.11(c) hereof, or (ii) the failure of Lender (including any successor or assignee) to comply with Section 3.11(d) hereof.

(c) Lender represents that it does not have a banking license from any regulatory authority and does not accept bank deposits from customers.

(d) Lender (and any assignee that is not a United States person) shall deliver to Borrower, prior to the first date on which payment of interest is due hereunder and as required from time to time

thereafter following a timely request by Borrower, a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, in duplicate, certifying that Lender (or such assignee, as the case may be) is a foreign person and any other successor or additional forms required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax.

(e) Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, transfer or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies, and any penalties, additions to tax or interest due with respect thereto, that may be imposed in connection with the execution, delivery or registration of this Agreement or any note issued hereunder or the filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Lender and Borrower shall cooperate with each other in respect of Taxes that are subject to indemnification hereunder and shall provide each other with such information not reasonably within the knowledge of the requesting party as shall reasonably be requested in connection with any such Taxes. Each party shall be entitled to review, and to make recommendations to the other party as to the form and substance of, all information returns and other filings by the other party with any tax authority in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any payments made by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender, prior to their submission to the tax authority. Each party shall promptly inform the other party of all inquiries, communications or claims received from any tax authority in respect of this Agreement or any such payments. Each party's representatives shall be allowed to attend all meetings between the party receiving such inquiry, communication or claim and the taxing authority and shall be provided with copies of all correspondence and documents relating to such inquiries, communications or claims, and the party receiving such inquiry, communication or claim shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party in respect of the conduct of any contest.

(g) Borrower's obligations under this Section 3.11 shall survive repayment of the Loan and all other amounts due from time to time hereunder.

(h) The Loan shall be redeemable at the option of the Borrower, in whole but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date after the occurrence of a Tax Event (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal under the Loan (including all additions to principal hereunder pursuant to Section 3.4(b)), plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid Fixed Interest through the Redemption Date plus (iii) the present value of any interest that would have accrued at the Fixed Rate from the Redemption Date through the Maturity Date (the "Remaining Life"), provided that for the purposes of computing such present value, such interest will be discounted at a discount rate equal to the then prevailing Treasury Rate on U.S. Treasury securities with comparable remaining maturities.

3.12. No Prepayment No prepayment of the principal of the Loan or the Permanent Loan is permitted.

SECTION 4. LATE PAYMENT OF INTEREST.

4.1. Any amounts of Current Interest, Variable Interest or Fixed Interest which are overdue shall bear interest and be payable at the Default Rate.

SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL LENDER RIGHTS.

5.1. Future Financing. In the event that Borrower, the Nation or any Affiliate thereof proposes to undertake an expansion of the Project, including without limitation another gaming facility or any facilities ancillary to the Project or another casino such as parking garages, hotels, restaurants and meeting facilities (collectively, the "Additional Development"), Lender will be under no obligation to finance such Additional Development, and the Borrower shall be under no obligation to obtain financing from Lender for such Additional Development.

5.2. Appointment of Servicers. Lender shall have the right from time to time to retain one or more servicers to handle administrative matters in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such as notifying Borrower of the amount of interest due in advance of any Interest Payment Date and reviewing financial reports and any information related thereto; provided that Lender shall not delegate its authority to grant or deny any request for a consent or waiver made pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) (i) Borrower will warrant and defend forever (A) its interest in the Leased Property and the Personalty and every part thereof, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, and (B) the enforceability, validity and priority of the Head Lease and the Sub-Sublease, in each case, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and against the claims of all Persons whatsoever.

(ii) Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, incurred by Lender or to which Lender may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation or other action (commenced or threatened) with respect to which Borrower shall have consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whether or not Lender is a party and whether or not liability resulted, in each case, arising out of one or more of the following matters (each, an "Indemnified Claim"):

(A) the failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement to be true at all times during the Term;

(B) the lack of a right of access to and from the Land to a public roadway;

(C) the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of any of the Head Lease, the Sub-Sublease or the Leasehold Mortgages upon any of the Leased Property;

(D) the priority of any lien or encumbrance over the lien of any of the Head Lease, the Sub-Sublease or the Leasehold Mortgages whether attaching prior to or at any time after the date hereof (other than the Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise expressly permitted hereby);

(E) the lack of priority of the lien of the Head Lease, the Sub-Sublease or the Leasehold Mortgages over any statutory lien for services, labor or material affecting title to the Leased Property; and

(F) the failure of Borrower to timely fulfill the obligations set forth in Section 8.1(l)(i) hereof;

provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable with respect to any Indemnified Claim pursuant to this Section to the extent that a court having competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment (not subject to further appeal) that such Indemnified Claim resulted primarily and directly from the willful misfeasance or gross negligence of Lender. In addition, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender promptly upon demand for expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any litigation, proceeding or other action in respect of any Indemnified Claim.

(iii) Lender shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel of its own choice to conduct the defense and all related matters in connection with any Indemnified Claim, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such legal counsel, and such legal counsel shall to the fullest extent consistent with their professional responsibilities cooperate with Borrower and any legal counsel designated by the Borrower. Borrower agrees to consult in advance with Lender with respect to the terms of any proposed waiver, release or settlement of any claim, liability, proceeding or other action against Borrower to which Lender may also be subject, and to use its best efforts to afford Lender the opportunity to join in such waiver, release or settlement.

(iv) The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8.1(l) shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the Maturity Date and the repayment of the Loan and the grant and surrender of the Head Lease, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Borrower might otherwise have to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(m) Borrower will duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, the Impositions as the same become due and payable, provided, however, that Borrower may, in good faith, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Imposition in respect of any tax or assessment in accordance with the Contest Procedure. Borrower shall deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender's request from time to time, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Impositions have been so paid and are not then delinquent or that any contest of any Imposition is being conducted in compliance with this Section. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien whatsoever, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, which may be or become a lien or charge against the Leased Property or the Personalty or against Borrower with respect to the Leased Property or Personalty, shall pay any tax imposed on any portion of the Land or the Leased Property through the passage after the date of the Head Lease of any federal, state or municipal law that creates any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of leases, or of debts secured by leases, so as to impose a tax on the Head Lease or the obligations secured thereby; provided, however, that Borrower may contest the validity, applicability or amount of any such Lien, tax or change in law in accordance with the Contest Procedure.

(n) Borrower will maintain and preserve the Leased Property in good and safe condition and repair, promptly repairing, replacing or rebuilding any part of the Leased Property which may be destroyed by any Casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(n) to the contrary, at any time following the occurrence of a Lender Approval Event, if the Casualty is a Significant Casualty, then Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either allow Borrower to use all insurance proceeds in respect of such Casualty for Restoration of the Leased Property or the Personalty or require that such proceeds, at the option of Lender, be used to cure any Defaults or Events of Default of Borrower hereunder; it being understood that in the absence of a Lender Approval Event, all insurance proceeds are to be paid in periodic disbursements to Borrower to be used to rebuild or restore the Project as such rebuilding and restoration progress. The Buildings and the Fixtures shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that Borrower shall have the right without such consent to materially alter, remove or demolish any portion of the Buildings and the Fixtures if such alteration does not result in any material diminution in the overall value of the Project or impair its usefulness as contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Leases, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall govern all the rights of the Borrower and the Lender with respect to Casualty relating to the Project, Leased Property or Personalty.

(o) At all times during the Term, Borrower shall maintain policies of liability casualty and other insurance in full force and effect with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and against such risks and in substantially the form described in Exhibit G and in Schedule IV.

(p) Borrower shall pay, together with interest, fines, and penalties, if any, any documentary stamp, recording, transfer, mortgage, Indebtedness, intangibles, filing or other taxes or fees whatsoever due, if any, under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the making, execution, delivery, filing of record, recordation, assignment, enforcement, release, or discharge of the Memoranda of the Leases, the Leasehold Mortgages and/or the Security Agreement.

(q) In the event that the Maturity Date occurs without the Loan having been repaid in full (including all amounts due hereunder), or in the event that this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, or in the event of the foreclosure of any lien prior to or subsequent to the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or in the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, Borrower, its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and agree to pay all reasonable costs of collection and defense, including, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, which shall be due and payable together with all required service or use taxes.

(r) Borrower, within ten (10) days after a request from Lender, shall from time to time furnish to Lender a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the amount then owing under this Agreement and the Note, (ii) the date through which Current Interest and Variable Interest hereunder have been paid, (iii) the amount on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account, (iv) the amount of accrued but unpaid Fixed Interest and (v) any offsets, counterclaims, credits, or defenses to the payment of the Loan, and acknowledging that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving the particulars of such modification. Lender and any permitted assignee of the Loan or participant in the Loan shall have the right to rely on any such certification.

(s) Borrower, upon the request of Lender, will execute, acknowledge, record and/or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to subject to the lien and security interest of the Leasehold Mortgages or Security Agreement any property intended by the terms hereof or of the Leasehold Mortgages or Security Agreement to be covered by the Leasehold Mortgages or Security Agreement, including without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or appurtenances to the Leased Property or Personalty.

(t) With respect to the Leased Property and the Project, Borrower covenants and agrees (i) to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, non-compliance with which could materially and adversely affect its business, operations, assets or financial or other condition as contemplated hereby, the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or which could subject the Borrower or the Nation to material damages, penalties, injunctive relief or clean-up costs or could be likely to require any material Remedial Action; (ii) to obtain all licenses, permits and approvals required under Environmental Laws applicable to Borrower, the Leased Property, the Project or the Personalty or which could subject Lender to any liability in connection with the Loan, the Leased Property, the Project or the Personalty; (iii) to use, store, treat or recycle any Contaminants or other regulated substance or material only in compliance with Environmental Laws, non-compliance with which could materially and adversely affect the business, operations, assets or financial or other condition of the Borrower, as contemplated hereby, the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or which could subject the Borrower, the Lender or the Project to material damages, penalties, injunctive relief or clean-up costs or could be likely to require any material Remedial Action; (iv) to provide to Lender, promptly upon receipt, copies of any notice, pleading, citation, indictment, complaint, order or decree from any source, or other document from any Governmental Authority, asserting or alleging a material violation of Environmental Laws or a

circumstance or condition which requires or may require a financial contribution by Borrower for a cleanup, removal, remedial action, or other response by or on the part of Borrower under Environmental Laws, or which seeks material damages or civil, criminal or punitive penalties from Borrower for an alleged violation of Environmental Laws; (v) to comply with any order, decree or similar requirements from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Borrower, the Leased Property, the Project or the Personalty or, with respect to its activities in connection with the Loan, the Leased Property, the Project or the Personalty, concerning a material violation of any Environmental Law or a cleanup, removal, remedial action or other response by or on the part of Borrower under any Environmental Law, except that compliance shall not be required so long as the validity of the same shall be contested in accordance with the Contest Procedure and (vi) to advise Lender in writing as soon as Borrower becomes aware of any condition or circumstance which makes the environmental representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect.

(u) With respect to the Leased Property and the Project, Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless for, from and against and to reimburse the Indemnified Parties with respect to, any and all Environmental Claims, loss, damage, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) at any time and from time to time by reason of or arising out of any violation or asserted violation of any Environmental Laws or arising out of any act, omission, event or circumstance existing or occurring at any time (including without limitation the actual, proposed or threatened storage, existence, generation, processing, abatement, handling or presence on or under the Leased Property, or release, emission, removal, disposition, discharge or transportation into or from the Leased Property, of Contaminants disposed of or released at any time), regardless of whether the act, omission, event or circumstance constituted a violation of any Environmental Law at the time of the existence or occurrence; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any and all Environmental Claims, loss, damage, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting solely from, or solely attributable to, any act or omission of the Indemnified Parties or the authorized agent of any of them.

(v) (i) The obligations of Borrower to the Indemnified Parties under Subsections (l), (u), (w) and (x) hereof (the "Indemnity Obligations") shall survive the making and repayment of the Loan and any transfer of all or any portion of Borrower's interest in the Leased Property.

(ii) So long as any of the Indemnity Obligations created hereby shall remain in effect, Borrower shall not be released by any act or omission that might, but for this Subsection, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge (including, but not limited to, any retroactive repeal or amendment of laws or regulations), or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or omission of any Indemnified Party or the failure of any of them to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted or circumstance that may or might vary the risk or affect the rights or remedies of Borrower or by reason of any further dealings between Borrower and any Indemnified Party (other than an express written modification of this indemnity between Borrower and such Indemnified Party) and, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defenses to its liabilities hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, indemnities or waivers of any Indemnified Party.

(w) In no event shall any site visit to the Leased Property, observation or testing by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party be deemed to constitute a representation that Contaminants are or are not present in, on or under the Leased Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law or any other applicable law pertaining to Contaminants. Neither Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, unless such Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such reliance. No

Indemnified Party shall owe any duty of care to protect Borrower or any other Person against, or to inform Borrower or any other Person of, any contaminants or any other adverse condition affecting the Leased Property. No Indemnified Party shall be obligated to disclose to Borrower or any other Person any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party.

(x) If any Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect to any Environmental Claim or other matter pursuant to Subsection (u) hereof, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Borrower of such matter in reasonably sufficient time under the circumstances to permit Borrower to assert any defenses which may be available to such claim. Borrower shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or such shorter period as may be required by any pleadings related to such Environmental Claim or other matter) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of Borrower's own choosing and at Borrower's expense, the settlement or defense therefor, and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with Borrower in connection therewith and shall promptly provide Borrower with copies of all notices, pleadings or other documents relating to such Environmental Claim or matter, provided, however, that: (i) Borrower shall not thereby permit to exist any Lien on any asset of any Indemnified Party; (ii) Borrower shall permit the Indemnified Parties to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Parties, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Parties; and (iii) Borrower shall agree promptly to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the full amount of any loss resulting from such Environmental Claim or other matter and all related expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties within the limits of this Subsection. So long as Borrower is reasonably contesting any such matter in accordance with the Contest Procedure, the Indemnified Parties shall not admit liability or pay or settle any such Environmental Claim or other matter. Lender shall cooperate in documenting any settlement or other disposition of such Environmental Claim or such other matter by executing such instruments as Borrower shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to pay or settle any such Environmental Claim or other matter without Borrower's consent, provided that in such event they shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by Borrower. If Borrower does not notify the Indemnified Parties within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Indemnified Party's notice of an Environmental Claim or other matter for which indemnity is sought hereunder that Borrower elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such Claim or other matter in the exercise of their exclusive discretion at the expense of Borrower (except to the extent that such indemnity is not available hereunder).

(y) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding relating to the Project, Leased Property or Personalty and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any tribal, public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to be responsible for repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, as provided herein and under the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received after expenses of collection and applied by Lender to the repayment of the Loan and the discharge of such obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein. If the Lender reasonably determines after a condemnation that it is not commercially feasible to rebuild the Facility or Project after good faith consultation with Borrower, the Lender may elect to apply any such award or payment to the repayment of all or a portion of the Loan and the discharge of all or a portion of Borrower's obligations hereunder whether or not then due and payable; otherwise, all condemnation proceeds are to be paid to Borrower to be used to rebuild or restore the Project. If the Leased Property or the Head Lease is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,

prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment with respect to the Loan shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to repay the Loan and satisfy all of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Leases, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall govern all the rights of the Borrower and the Lender with respect to any condemnation relating to the Project, Leased Property or Personalty.

(z) During the continuance of an Event of Default, (A) Borrower will permit Lender to exercise any or all of its rights, remedies and recourses hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, by (i) permitting a receiver to be appointed in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 11.1 hereof, (ii) entering into the management agreement referred to in clause (iii) of Section 11.1 hereof in any form consistent with IGRA as may be required by Lender, subject to such approvals of any Governmental Authorities (including without limitation the Commission) as may then be required, and/or (iii) by complying with instructions of Lender or its designee pursuant to clause (d) of Section 11.1 hereof, in each case, if requested by Lender; and (B) Borrower (i) will not in any way interfere with the exercise of such rights or remedies by Lender, and (ii) will cooperate with Lender and promptly do all things required of it by Lender toward obtaining all necessary authority, permission, licenses, consents, authorizations and approvals from any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, the Commission) or otherwise as may be necessary or desirable for Lender to exercise any of its rights, remedies and recourses hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Borrower from asserting that no Event of Default has occurred.

(dd) Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter during which any Shortfall accrues, Borrower shall execute and deliver an amendment to the Leasehold Mortgage (Indirect Costs) to reflect the additions to principal pursuant to Section 3.4(b), and Borrower shall pay any additional mortgage recording taxes due on such increased principal amount when each such amendment to the Leasehold Mortgage (Indirect Costs) is recorded.

all events be subordinate to payment (i) of Current Interest, Variable Interest, Fixed Interest and principal hereunder, and (ii) of funds into the Sinking Fund Account as set forth in Section 3.5.

(ii) Intentionally deleted.

(jj) Borrower will file all, if any, material property and similar tax returns required to be filed by it with respect to or which could in any way affect the Leased Property or Project and will pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all material Impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority against, affecting or relating to the Leased Property, the Project or the Personalty, other than those which may be subject to contest in accordance with the Contest Procedure, together with any fine, penalty, interest or cost for non-payment pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments that may be received by it.

(kk) Borrower has advised Lender that Lender is not required to obtain a license or registration from the SGA in order to enter into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to enjoy the benefits intended to be derived therefrom. In the event that the SGA or the State determines that Lender is required to obtain such a license or registration, or Lender's counsel hereafter reasonably determines that Lender is required to obtain such a license or registration, Borrower shall take such steps as are necessary as to cause the SGA to grant such a license or registration to Lender.

(ll) Borrower shall submit this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Commission for a determination that the document does not constitute a "management contract;" provided that if there is a determination by the Commission that this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any portion of any of them does constitute a "management contract," the Borrower agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Lender to amend this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents to obtain a determination from the Commission that this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents do not constitute a "management contract."

(mm) Prior to or on Project Completion, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all utility services necessary for the construction of the Facility and the operation of the Facility for its intended purpose as contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, water supply, adequate sewage system, gas (if applicable), and electric and telephone utilities (i) are or will be as needed available on or at the boundaries of the Facility, (ii) can be used or tapped into by Borrower, and (iii) are of sufficient capacity to meet adequately all needs and requirements necessary for the construction and development of the Project and the use thereof for its intended purpose, and all payments which are payable therefor have been made.

(d) Borrower shall not enter into any transaction of merger, reorganization, or consolidation or wind up, liquidate or dissolve, nor agree to do any of the foregoing.

(e) So long as (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) the taking of such action would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial or other condition of the Borrower or the Project, as contemplated hereby, or the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or to complete the construction of the Facility and (z) Borrower maintains the Debt Coverage Ratio at a level equal to or greater than (i) 1.70:1.00 for the period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003; (ii) 1.90:1.00 for the period from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004; (iii) 2.00:1.00 for the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005; (iv) 2.10:1.00 for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 and (v) 2.20:1.00 for the period from January 1, 2007 for the Maturity Date, then:

(5) the Borrower may not incur additional Recourse Obligations (i) unless the Borrower at the time of such incurrence satisfies the applicable Debt Coverage Ratio set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8.3.(e), after taking account of such additional indebtedness on a pro forma basis, (ii) such Recourse Obligations are fully subordinated in all respects to the rights and interests of Lender granted herein or in the other Loan Documents and (iii) in all events, without the consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld provided that the proceeds of such additional Recourse Obligations are used for the purpose of investing in the Project (including funding the working capital requirements thereof), paying closing costs and expenses in connection with the incurrence thereof and/or refinancing other Recourse Obligations the incurrence of which was permitted hereunder;

The Borrower shall not, at any time, permit any Plan to fail to comply with its terms or applicable Laws in any respect that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial or other condition of the Borrower, as contemplated hereby, or the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

described in clause (A), Borrower shall grant to Lender a new leasehold mortgage (the "New Mortgage") on its interest in the Head Lease; and

(ii) (A) the Borrower shall cause the title insurance company to provide an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy ensuring that the Leasehold Mortgage is a valid first lien on the leasehold interest of the Borrower under the Head Lease, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, or (B) if such endorsement is not available, Borrower shall cause the title insurance company to provide a new title insurance policy (in all respects equivalent to the Title Insurance Policy) ensuring that the New Mortgage is a valid first mortgage lien on the leasehold interest of the Borrower under the Head Lease, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in either case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

SECTION 11. REMEDIES.

11.1. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Current Interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan (including all additions to principal pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) shall thereafter be payable at the Default Rate, and Fixed Interest on the Loan shall thereafter accrue at the Default Rate on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan (including all additions to principal pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) plus any accrued interest thereon, and Lender may exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, in addition to any rights, remedies and recourses it may have under the Leasehold Mortgages, the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other remedies which may now or hereafter exist in equity or at law.

(a) Prior to, upon or at any time after, exercise of any or all of its other rights, remedies or recourses or commencement of any legal proceedings, Lender may declare all amounts owing to Lender hereunder or under the Note to be immediately due and payable, all without diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice of any kind, which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

(b) Prior to, upon or at any time after, exercise of any or all of its other rights, remedies or recourses or commencement of any legal proceedings, Lender may, pursuant to application to a court of competent jurisdiction, have a receiver appointed for the Project, which, at the option of Lender, may be Lender or any party designated by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Such application may be made as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower (unless notice is required by

applicable Legal Requirements and such right of notice may not be waived by Borrower) or regard to the adequacy of the Leased Property or insolvency of Borrower or any person who may be legally or equitably liable to pay the amounts owing to Lender hereunder and under the Note and without giving bond to Borrower (unless bond is required by applicable Legal Requirements and such right of bond may not be waived by Borrower), and Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases (subject to the extent required to the approval of the Commission and the requirements of IGRA), including, without limitation, the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Project, all upon such terms as may be approved by the court (and subject, to the extent required by IGRA, to the approval of the Commission); provided, however, that so long as the Project continues to be operated, with Lender's consent, for the conduct of gaming activities, Borrower, in accordance with IGRA, shall retain the sole proprietary interest in and responsibility for the conduct of such gaming activities and the powers and duties of such receiver shall be limited to the receipt and application of all funds of Borrower and all of its daily net proceeds from the operation of the Project and such receiver shall remain in place until the Loan (including all additions to principal pursuant to Section 3.4(b)), together with all Current Interest, Variable Interest and Fixed Interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall have been paid, and all of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been fully satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. Rents, revenues, income, proceeds, profits and other amounts received by the receiver in respect of the use, occupancy or operation of the Project shall be applied by the receiver in accordance with the following priorities:

(A) First, to the payment of the ordinary, necessary and reasonable costs and expenses of use, occupancy and operation of the Project including, without limitation, all fees and expenses associated with the receiver and all management fees, if any;

(B) Second, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Current Interest, accrued and unpaid Variable Interest, accrued and unpaid Fixed Interest (to the extent then due and payable), principal (including all additions to principal pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) and other amounts payable by Borrower to Lender hereunder (except as otherwise set forth herein);

(C) Third, the payment of (or the provision of cash collateral to secure fully the payment of) all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in such order and in such amounts as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may specify; and

(D) Fourth, the balance, to Borrower.

(c) Upon an Event of Default during construction or operation of the Facility, Lender may require that Borrower enter into a management contract for the construction or operation of the Facility with such party as Lender may direct, including without limitation the Lender or its designee, with full power and authority in accordance with Section 2711 of IGRA to operate the Facility for casino gaming operations and as otherwise contemplated hereby, on such terms and conditions as are consistent with Section 2711 of IGRA and otherwise as are directed by Lender or such designee until the Loan is repaid in full; provided, however, that such management contract shall be subject to the approval of the Commission in accordance with Section 2711 of IGRA, and shall not become effective until such approval has been obtained. Rents, revenues, income, proceeds, profits and other amounts generated through the operation of all or any portion of the Project shall be applied by the manager in accordance with clause (b) above.

(d) Lender may require that Borrower (or any manager appointed by Borrower) comply with instructions of Lender or any party designated by Lender in its reasonable discretion (to the extent that such instructions are consistent with IGRA and the Compact) to take or refrain from taking any lawful action with respect to the operation of the Project which, in the judgment of Lender exercised in its reasonable discretion, is necessary or desirable to remedy any Default or exercise any of its remedies

hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and/or to deliver all or any portion of the rents, revenues, income, proceeds, profits and other amounts received by Borrower in respect of the use, occupancy or operation of the Project to a depository specified by Lender or its designee for application in accordance with clause (b) above.

11.2. Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted herein or in the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement and all rights, remedies or recourses available at law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State or such other jurisdiction or jurisdictions where the Personalty is located) and, except as limited by applicable Legal Requirements, the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Borrower or against all or any portion of the Leased Property, the Project or Personalty, at the sole discretion of Lender; (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Lender may resort to the rights, remedies and recourses set forth herein and in the Leasehold Mortgages and the Security Agreement and any other security therefor in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

11.3. No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Borrower shall not be relieved of any obligation it has under this Agreement or under the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement by reason of (a) the cancellation of the Head Lease or the Sub-sublease, regardless of consideration, with respect to any of the Leased Property or the addition of any property to the Leased Property; (b) any agreement or stipulation between any assignee of all or any portion of Lender's rights under this Agreement, the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the terms of this Agreement, of the Head Lease, the Sub-sublease, the Leasehold Mortgages or Security Agreement, without first having obtained the consent of, given notice to or paid any consideration to Lender, and in such event Borrower shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Lender; or (c) any other acts or occurrences, save and except the complete satisfaction of all of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Note.

11.4. Waivers. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally WAIVES and RELEASES (i) any claim of sovereign immunity (and any defense based thereon) with respect to the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) all benefits that might accrue to Borrower by virtue or any present or future law exempting the Leased Property and/or the Project from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, homestead exemption, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (iii) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices of any demand, Event of Default, intent to accelerate or acceleration or the election by Lender to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under this Agreement or under the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement and (iv) any restrictions or conditions upon the exercise by Lender of its rights, remedies and recourses set forth herein or in the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement.

11.5. Discontinuance of Proceedings. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Agreement or under the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement, and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to this Agreement, the Leasehold Mortgages, the Security Agreement, the Leased Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

11.6. Costs. Borrower also agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lender, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, incurred with respect to the collection of any of Borrower's obligations hereunder or under the Note, the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder or under the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement, and the performance and observance of any obligation or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in the Leasehold Mortgages or the Security Agreement.

11.7. Liquidated Damages. The Lender and the Borrower have executed this Agreement to evidence their intention to enter into the Permanent Loan in the amount of $80,000,000. The Borrower agrees that, prior to full disbursement of the Permanent Loan, it shall not (and shall not suffer any of their Affiliates and representatives to) initiate, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, engage in any negotiations concerning, provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any person other than the Lender relating to obtaining financing in connection with the Project, except as specifically permitted hereunder. The Borrower acknowledges that it would be difficult to establish the amount of actual damages that the Lender, its successors and assigns would incur as a result of the occurrence of any breach of this agreement set forth in this Section 11.7; it being further understood and acknowledged by the Borrower that the Lender has reserved funds in the maximum amount of the Permanent Loan to be used in connection with the Project. Accordingly, in the event that the Borrower breaches this agreement set forth in this Section 11.7 and fails to borrow the full amount of the Permanent Loan on the terms described herein, the Borrower will be required to pay to the Lender liquidated damages equal to the amount of the aggregate interest which would have accrued at the Fixed Rate on a loan in the full principal amount of the Permanent Loan, during the five (5) year period commencing on the Initial Disbursement Date. All payments under this Section 11.7 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds to an account designated by Lender. The Borrower acknowledges that the agreement contained in this Section 11.7 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that without this agreement, the Lender would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Borrower fails to pay any amount when due pursuant to this Section 11.7 and, in order to obtain such payment, Lender brings a suit or action which results in a judgment against the Borrower, then the Borrower shall pay to Lender its costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) in connection with such suit or action.

11.8. Remedy upon Suspension or Revocation of Non-Class III Gaming Registration.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that, as of November 21, 2002, (i) the State of New York Racing and Wagering Board, acting pursuant to the Compact, has issued a temporary finding of suitability for Non-Class III Gaming Registration for the Lender and for Tan Sri Xxx Xxx Thay as principal thereof, subject to certain conditions, and (ii) the SGA, acting pursuant to the Compact and the Ordinance, has issued a temporary registration for Non-Class III Gaming Enterprise for Lender to provide lending services to the Borrower, subject to certain conditions. The "Suspension Date" shall be the earliest date on which any of the events in clauses (a), (b) or (c) has occurred: (a) the Lender's Non-Class III Gaming Registration (including its temporary registration) is withdrawn, suspended, revoked, denied or not renewed, and all available appeals of any such withdrawal, suspension, revocation, denial or non-renewal have been finally exhausted or the time for such appeal has expired (provided, that Lender shall have no obligation to pursue any such appeal), or (b) the finding of suitability of the Lender is withdrawn, suspended, revoked or denied and all available appeals of any such withdrawal, suspension, revocation or denial have been finally exhausted or the time for such appeal has expired (provided, that Lender shall have no obligation to pursue any such appeal), or (c) at any time the Lender is no longer authorized, pursuant to the Compact and the Ordinance, by virtue of the foregoing registration procedures to continue to provide lending services to the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of the Suspension Date, the Borrower shall be obligated to either (x) Defease the Permanent Loan on an Interest Payment Date no later than the Repayment Date (defined below); provided that such Defeasance shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.7 and

Exhibit D, or (y) repay the Permanent Loan, by paying to the Lender an amount equal to (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding, including any additions to principal under Section 3.4(b), plus (B) all accrued and unpaid Fixed Interest and any other charges due and payable hereunder through the Repayment Date, plus (C) the present value of the aggregate interest which would have accrued at the Fixed Rate on a loan in the full principal amount of the Permanent Loan, including any additions to principal under Section 3.4(b), during the period of time commencing on the Repayment Date and continuing through the Maturity Date; provided further, that for purposes of computing such present value, such interest will be discounted at a discount rate equal to the then prevailing Treasury Rate on U.S. Treasury securities with comparable remaining maturities. The defeasance or repayment of the Permanent Loan pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) or (y) shall be made no later than the earliest Interest Payment Date ("Repayment Date") which falls twelve (12) months after the Suspension Date, unless the Lender is no longer authorized by virtue of the foregoing registration procedures to continue to provide lending services to the Borrower for such additional twelve (12) month period, in which event the Repayment Date shall be the Suspension Date.

(b) Notwithstanding any withdrawal, suspension, revocation, denial or non-renewal of the Lender's Non-Class III Gaming Registration (including its temporary registration) or finding of suitability for Non-Class III Gaming Registration (including its temporary registration), or the pendency of any appeal relating thereto, the Borrower shall remain obligated to pay and perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and no such withdrawal, suspension, revocation, denial or non-renewal of the Lender's Non-Class III Gaming Registration (including its temporary registration) or finding of suitability for Non-Class III Gaming Registration (including its temporary registration) shall constitute a defense to any payment or performance required hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 12. RECOURSE.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1. Costs and Expenses. Borrower will pay all of Lender's out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the Loan and in review of plans, specifications, budgets and monitoring of construction for the Project (including the fees and disbursements of Lender's Construction Consultant and of Lender's insurance consultant, if one is retained), and including filing fees, recording fees, mortgage recording tax, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees and other out-of-pocket expenses, independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Lender, and including, without limitation, any costs, expenses or fees incurred or suffered by the Lender in connection with or during the course of any Insolvency Proceeding of Borrower. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify the Lender from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure

of any party to perform any of its obligations. Any amount payable to the Lender under this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

14.2. Indemnification. Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan, the Project or the other transactions contemplated herein, including (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party, if the claim, demand, action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower (or, to the extent related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, any Affiliate of Borrower or any officer of Borrower); (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action by a third party if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to the Loan, the relationship of Borrower and the Lender under this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a) or (b) above; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligations under this Section unless Borrower is materially prejudiced thereby (and then only to the extent prejudiced). Each Indemnitee may contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action with counsel selected by such Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section; provided that each Indemnitee shall endeavor in connection with any matter covered by this Section which also involves other Indemnitees, to use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other obligations under the Loan Documents owed to the Lender.

14.3. Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower made by or through the Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same;

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Lender.

14.4. Relationship with the Lender.

(a) The relationship between the Borrower and the Lender is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of a borrower and a lender. The Lender shall under no circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates; the Lender does not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates, The Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of

judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lender and neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon.

(b) The Lender shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property or other loss, damage, liability or claim caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Lender harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

(c) This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower and the Lender in connection with the Loan, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Lender, and the Lender's successors and assigns. No other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

14.5. Further Assurances. The Borrower shall, at its sole expense and without expense to the Lender do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Lender from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto the Lender of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document. Notwithstanding the representation set forth in Section 7.1(ff), if it proves to be the case that the Commission renders an adverse determination, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to amend this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents to the extent necessary to obtain a determination that this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents do not constitute a "management contract."

14.6. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents (including the exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto and thereto or referred to herein and therein) and any other documents or certificates delivered at the Second Closing Date, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supercedes all prior agreements, written or oral (including the Commitment), on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

14.7. Amendments. The terms of this Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by written instrument signed by the party against which such alteration, modification, amendment or supplement is sought.

14.8. Assignment; Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. Lender may, at any time after Project Completion and full disbursement of the Loan with respect to the Facility, sell, transfer or assign, in its sole and absolute discretion, portions of the Loan or all or any of its rights, interests and/or obligations hereunder to any Person on any terms, subject only to compliance with any applicable requirements of applicable federal and state laws, including securities laws. In connection with any such sale, transfer or assignment, Lender agrees to comply with any such federal and state securities laws, the non-compliance with which would impose any requirement that any of the Loan Documents be registered or filed pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign all or any portion of this Agreement at any time; and, provided, further, that in the event that Lender's rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are by operation of one or more assignments held by more than one Person, subject to Section 3.8 hereof, the holders thereof shall designate a single Person to exercise the rights and powers of "Lender" hereunder

to receive all payments and notices and to give all consents and waivers provided for hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder or thereunder to deal with any Person other than Lender until receipt by Borrower of such designation executed by each assignee who may hold any such rights. Each reference in this Agreement to "Lender" shall be deemed to be a reference to Lender and any or all of its successors and assigns.

14.9. Captions; References. Section headings and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement. All references herein to numbered Articles and Sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

14.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original for all purposes, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

14.11. Severability. If any term or provision hereof or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, in any jurisdiction and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, such term or such provision shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable any remaining terms and provisions hereof or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law which renders any term or provision hereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

14.12. Survival of Representations, Etc. Except as set forth in Sections 8.1(l), 8.1(u), 8.1(v), 8.1(w), 8.1(x), 14.2 and 14.4(b) hereof, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein and in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive any investigation or inspection made by or on behalf of Lender and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, the Leases, Leasehold Mortgages and the Security Agreement shall be fully performed in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

14.13. Notices.
