the Manager pursuant to this Agreement (the “Financing Statements”), it being understood
that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Authority hereby authorizes, and will

Agreement and the Financing Statements by the Authority and the validity and perfection of the
security interest granted to the Manager hereby, together with opinions as to the Authority’s

accordance with the terms hereof, the Collateral Agent and the Manager each shall have “control”
(within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Dominion Account,
subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Authority and the Bank agrees that it has not
and will not execute and deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which it agrees
with any Person other than the Manager or the Collateral Agent to comply with Deposit Account
Orders originated by such Person relating to the Dominion Account. If the Bank or the Authority
obtains knowledge that any Person has asserted a lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the
Dominion Account, such party will promptly notify the Manager and the Collateral Agent thereof.
For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Bank waives its rights of chargeback, setoff
(including such right of setoff as set forth in Section 9-340 of the Uniform Commercial Code)
and/or banker’s lien against the Dominion Account (except for debits to the Dominion Account for
the payment of Returned Item Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts, or Bank Fees). In the event that
the Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a lien or security
interest in the Dominion Account, the Bank agrees that such lien or security interest shall be
subordinate to the lien and security
10
interest of the Manager or the Collateral Agent. Regardless
of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, the State of
New York shall be
deemed to be the Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the Uniform
Commercial Code).
(f) Debit Amounts.
(i) The Bank may pay any Returned Item Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts and Bank Fees by
debiting the Dominion Account on the Business Day that such Returned Item Amounts, Settlement Item
Amounts or Bank Fees are due and payable, without notice to any other party.
(ii) If there are not sufficient funds in the Dominion Account to cover fully such Returned
Item Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts or Bank Fees on the Business Day they are debited from the
Dominion Account, the unpaid amounts thereof will be paid by the Authority sending the Bank a check
in the amount of such unpaid amounts, without setoff or counterclaim, within fifteen (15) calendar
days after the Bank’s demand to the Authority for payment by the Authority of such amounts.
(iii) The Manager agrees that, other than during a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of
Default Period, any Returned Item Amounts or Bank Fees not paid by the Authority in accordance with
the provisions of clause (ii) above will be paid by the Manager sending the Bank a check in the
amount of such unpaid amount, without setoff or counterclaim, within thirty (30) calendar days
after the Bank’s demand to the Manager for payment by the Manager of such unpaid amount (provided
that (x) with respect to Returned Item Amounts, the Manager’s liability shall be limited to the
extent the Manager received proceeds from the corresponding Returned Item Amounts and (y) with
respect to Banks Fees, the Manager’s liability shall be limited to the amount of funds that have
been disbursed to the Manager from the Dominion Account under this Agreement). The Authority will
promptly indemnify the Manager with respect to any amounts so paid pursuant to this clause (iii),
and, if such indemnification is not promptly made, the amounts so paid shall be deemed to be Costs
of Gaming Operations under the Development and Management Agreement.
(iv) The Collateral Agent agrees that, after delivery of a Collateral Agent Notice of
Exclusive Control and during the continuation of the First Lien Secured Obligations Event of
Default Period commenced by such Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, any amount not paid
by the Authority in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be paid by the
Collateral Agent sending the Bank a check in the amount of such unpaid amount, without setoff or
counterclaim, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Bank’s demand to the Collateral Agent for

Item Amounts, the Collateral Agent’s liability shall be limited to the extent the Collateral Agent
received proceeds from the corresponding Returned Item Amounts and (y) with respect to Settlement
Item Amounts or Banks Fees, the Collateral Agent’s liability shall be limited to the amount of
funds that have been disbursed to the Collateral Agent from the Dominion Account under this
Agreement). The Authority will promptly indemnify the
11

so paid pursuant to this clause (iii), and, if such
indemnification is not promptly made, the amounts so paid shall be deemed to be Costs of
Gaming Operations under the Development and Management Agreement.
Section 2.2 Deposit of Gross Revenues.
(a) The Authority agrees that it will direct the Manager and any other applicable parties to
cause all Gross Revenues to be transferred to the Bank on each Business Day for deposit into the
Dominion Account. If any Gross Revenues are inadvertently deposited in any other account, the
Authority shall immediately transfer or cause to be transferred all such Gross Revenues or other
Collateral, consisting of cash and other collected funds directly by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Dominion Account, on each Business Day.
(b) In the event that the Authority receives any payment that should have been deposited into
the Dominion Account as provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Authority agrees that it will hold
such amounts in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Manager as set forth herein,
and shall not commingle any such funds with any of its funds or other property and shall
immediately transfer such amounts to the Bank for deposit into the Dominion Account.
(c) The Authority agrees that the Bank’s officers, agents and employees are irrevocably
authorized by it to endorse for payment to the Bank any instruments received by the Bank for
deposit into the Dominion Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the security interest granted
pursuant to Section 3.1 to the Collateral Agent is released or terminated for any reason
(including, without limitation, in connection with the payment in full, or other Discharge, of the
First Lien Secured Obligations), only Enterprise Revenues shall be required thereafter to be
deposited in the Dominion Account pursuant to this Section 2.2. To the extent Manager
controls the disposition of Gross Revenues, the Manager shall also cause all Gross Revenues to be
deposited into the Dominion Account.
(d) The Manager, the Collateral Agent and the Authority agree that all Gross Revenues that do
not also constitute Enterprise Revenues, as well as any Collateral that does not also constitute
Enterprise Collateral, will be deposited in a sub-account within the Dominion Account or otherwise
segregated or separately accounted for.
Section 2.3 Withdrawals from Dominion Account.
(a) Subject to the Manager’s rights under Section 5.2, and further subject at all
times to a Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control of the Collateral Agent, the Manager
acknowledges and agrees with the Authority and the Collateral Agent that during each calendar month
it may only make (i) such transfers from the Dominion Account relating to sweep investments made in
accordance with this Agreement with funds on deposit in the Dominion Account, and (ii) such
transfers from the Dominion Account to and for the benefit of each of the Authority and the Manager
in such amounts, for such purposes, and as and when both (A) required or permitted under the
Development and Management Agreement and (B) permitted
12
under the Indenture. Except during any
First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default Period,
in connection with any such withdrawals and transfers and any other aspects of the Dominion
Account, the Bank shall acknowledge and comply with only the withdrawal requests and other
directions (including Deposit Account Orders with respect to the Dominion Account) received from
the Manager, except as provided in an arbitration award in an arbitration to which the Manager and
the Authority are parties, and, for avoidance of doubt, the Bank shall so comply without further
consent by the Authority or any other Person.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing clause (a), upon receipt by the Bank
of a Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, then during the First Lien Secured Obligations
Event of Default Period commenced by such Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, the Bank
shall acknowledge and comply with only the withdrawal requests and other directions (including
Deposit Account Orders with respect to the Dominion Account) received from the Collateral Agent;
provided, however, that following the receipt by the Bank of a Collateral Agent
Notice of Exclusive Control and during the continuation of the First Lien Secured Obligations Event

of the Manager Obligations, the Authority hereby pledges to the Manager and grants a continuing

Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties as set forth in the
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement.
Section 3.3 Control; Investment Instructions.
(a) Subject to a Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control as set forth in Section
2.1 and Section 3.3(b), the Bank covenants and agrees that it will comply with all
instructions, requests or other directions originated by the Manager concerning the Dominion
Account at any time without further consent by the Authority, the Collateral Agent or any other
party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Bank shall accept sweep investment
instructions with respect to the Collateral held in the Dominion Account at the direction of the
Authority or its authorized representatives and Manager until such time as Manager delivers a
written notice to Agent and the Authority in accordance with Section 5.2(a) that Manager is
thereby exercising exclusive control over the Account (“Manager Notice of Exclusive
Control”); provided that amounts on deposit in the Dominion Account may only be
invested in sweep investments qualifying as Cash Equivalents; provided, further,
that the proceeds from the sale of any such investments are deposited in or credited to the
Dominion Account contemporaneously with such transaction; and provided, further,
such investment instructions shall not affect the type or nature of Collateral for attachment and
perfection purposes under the Uniform Commercial Code. After the Bank receives a Manager Notice of
Exclusive Control, it will immediately cease complying with any investment instructions concerning
the Dominion Account originated by the Authority or its representatives and shall comply with only
such investment instructions as are originated by the Manager.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 3.3(a), if the Bank receives a Collateral
Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, then during the continuation of the First Lien Secured
Obligations Event of Default Period commenced by such Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control,

Dominion Account originated by the Authority or the Manager or any of their representatives and
shall comply with only such sweep investment instructions as are originated by the Collateral
Agent; provided that amounts on deposit in the Dominion Account may only be invested in
sweep investments qualifying as Cash Equivalents; provided, further, that the
proceeds from the sale of any such investments are deposited in or credited to the Dominion Account
contemporaneously with such transaction; and provided, further, such investment
instructions shall not affect the type or nature of Collateral for attachment and perfection
purposes under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Section 3.4 Duration and Transfer of Funds in Dominion Account.
14
(a) Manager. The pledge and security interest granted herein in the Enterprise
Collateral will continue with respect to the Manager, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor and
Subordination Agreement, until (i) indefeasible payment in cash in full of all of the Manager
Obligations, (ii) other Discharge of the Manager Obligations, or (iii) the cancellation or
termination by the Manager under a written cancellation instrument signed by the Manager or except
as otherwise provided in an arbitration award made in an arbitration to which the Manager and the
Authority are parties. If the pledge and security interest granted to the Manager herein are
terminated for any reason, including pursuant to this Section, the Manager shall have no further
interest in the Dominion Account or the funds on deposit therein, and shall deliver written notice
thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Bank. Thereafter, the Manager or the Collateral Agent (as
applicable) shall direct the Bank to follow the transfer instructions of the Authority and the
Authority shall transfer all of the funds held in the Dominion Account to a separate deposit
account (the “Collateral Agent Deposit Account”) that is (i) subject to an account control
agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties in
form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in which the Collateral Agent
holds a first priority security interest to all of the Authority’s right, title and interest in
such funds and such account for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties. Following such
transfer, this Agreement shall terminate and all future Gross Revenues shall be deposited in the
Collateral Agent Deposit Account and the terms of the account control agreement for such Collateral
Agent Deposit Account shall govern the treatment of such Gross Revenues. In conjunction with such
transfer and termination of this Agreement: (a) the Authority shall deliver to the Collateral Agent
a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent opining as to
the due authorization, execution, and delivery of the account control agreement for the Collateral
Agent Deposit Account by the Authority, together with opinions as to the Authority’s sovereign
immunity waiver, noncontravention with laws and agreements, and validity of the security interest
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, and (b) the
Authority and the Manager shall each take such actions as may be reasonably required by the
Collateral Agent to effect the provisions of this paragraph. The Manager also acknowledges and
agrees that it shall cause the termination of this Agreement as and when required pursuant to the
applicable terms and provisions of the Development and Management Agreement.
(b) Collateral Agent. The pledge and security interests granted herein in the
Collateral will continue with respect to the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, until either (i) the security interests of Collateral
Agent under the Senior Security Agreement terminate, or (ii) the Discharge of all of the First Lien
Secured Obligations otherwise occurs. Upon termination of the pledge and security interests of the
Collateral Agent set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall provide written notice of same to the
Bank and the Manager, and upon receipt by the Bank of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall cease
to be a party to this Agreement and shall have no further interest in the Dominion Account or the
funds on deposit therein, whereupon the Manager may (but shall not be required to), by written
notice to the Bank and the Authority, terminate this Agreement and direct that all of the funds and
other property held in the Dominion Account be deposited in such other dominion account or accounts
as the Manager shall specify in such notice.
15
Section 3.5 Transfers Free of Security Interest. Without modifying the terms of
Section 2.1 and Section 2.3 hereof, except with respect to funds on deposit in the
Dominion Account transferred from the Dominion Account relating to sweep investments made in
accordance with this Agreement (which shall remain subject to the pledge and security interest of
the Manager), all funds transferred from the Dominion Account as provided herein (but only as
provided herein), including without limitation any funds transferred by or at the direction of the
Manager to the Enterprise Accounts (as defined in the Development and Management Agreement)
pursuant to Sections 3.8(b) of the Development and Management Agreement, as well as all
Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments (as such term is defined in Section 6.3(a) of the
Development and Management Agreement) and other funds distributed to the Authority, shall be free
of the pledge and security interest of the Manager hereunder immediately upon their transfer from
the Dominion Account.
ARTICLE 4
AUTHORITY COVENANTS
AUTHORITY COVENANTS
Section 4.1 Covenants of the Authority. During the term of this Agreement, the
Authority will observe and comply with the following requirements:
(a) Further Assurances. The Authority will promptly execute and deliver all
instruments and documents, and take such actions that may be necessary or that the Bank, the
Manager or the Authority may reasonably request, in order to give effect to the terms of this
Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interests granted hereby or, after a Manager
Event of Default or First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default and in accordance with the
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, to enable each of the Bank, the Manager or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral in which it holds a security interest in accordance with this Agreement.
The Authority hereby authorizes the Manager or the Collateral Agent to file this Agreement (if the
Authority shall fail to provide an appropriate financing statement within ten (10) Business Days
after request) or one or more continuation statements in respect thereof, relating to all or any
part of the Collateral without the additional signature or consent of the Authority where permitted
by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering
the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by
law.
(b) No Revocation. The Authority shall not revoke any direction or authorization
required or authorized to be given to the Bank pursuant to Article 2 or elsewhere herein;
provided, however, that the Authority may revoke any direction or authorization
required or authorized to be given to the Bank pursuant to Article 2 or elsewhere herein if
authorized pursuant to an arbitration award to which the Manager and the Authority are parties;
provided, further that any such revocation pursuant to an arbitration award to
which the Manager and the Authority are parties shall only be with respect to any rights of the
Manager or the Authority and may not affect the rights of the Collateral Agent.
16
(c) Financial Statements. After the occurrence of a Transaction Document Event of
Default and termination of the Development and Management Agreement, the Authority will furnish the
following to the Manager upon request:
(i) | Within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each month and one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each fiscal year, financial and operating statements of the Enterprise for such month (and year-to-date) or fiscal year, as applicable, including a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement, all in reasonable detail and conforming to generally accepted accounting principles for casinos. The monthly statements shall be prepared and certified by the Authority as being true and correct representations of the information set forth therein and the annual financial statements shall be prepared, audited and certified by independent certified public accountants with casino auditing experience employed or retained by the Authority. The Manager agrees that any such information, as well as any other information it may receive from the Authority relating to the Enterprise, shall be and remain subject to the provisions of Section 10.20 of the Development and Management Agreement. | ||
(ii) | Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the filing thereof, a copy of the Authority’s regulatory filings under IGRA and the Tribal-State Compact for each calendar year during the term hereof, with all schedules attached. | ||

If such certificate discloses an exception to such certification, such certificate shall set forth what action the Authority has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto. |
(d) Insurance. At such time as the Manager shall no longer be the manager of the
Enterprise, the Authority shall cause to be maintained such insurance as required by the
Development and Management Agreement (except that the Manager shall not be a named insured or
additional insured but will be named as a certificate holder if permitted by the insurer without
granting an insurable interest). Upon request, the Authority shall provide to the Bank and the
Manager certificates of insurance or copies of insurance policies evidencing that such insurance is
in effect at all times.
(e) Other Accounts. So long as the Collateral Agent continues to hold a security
interest in the Collateral, the Authority shall not establish any demand, time, savings, passbook

Permitted Accounts, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Collateral Agent.
ARTICLE 5
EVENTS OF DEFAULT/REMEDIES
EVENTS OF DEFAULT/REMEDIES
Section 5.1 Events of Default.
(a) Manager Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute a
“Manager Event of Default”:
(i) | Any material representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Authority herein or in any report, certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of the Authority pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect when made, and such false or misleading statement shall cause a material loss or have a material adverse effect on any Collateral or any Transaction Documents and such loss or adverse effect is not cured by the Authority within sixty (60) calendar days after providing notice thereof to the Authority. | ||
(ii) | The Authority shall default in the due observance or performance of any of its material obligations hereunder and such default shall continue for thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof has been sent to the Authority by the Manager or the Bank; provided, however, that if the nature of such default (but specifically excluding defaults curable by the payment of money) is such that it is not possible to cure such default within such cure period, such cure period shall be extended for so long as the Authority shall be using diligent efforts to effect a cure thereof. | ||
(iii) | A Transaction Document Event of Default shall occur. |
(b) First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default. A “First Lien Secured
Obligations Event of Default” shall mean any Event of Default under the Senior Security
Agreement.
Section 5.2 Remedies on Default.
(a) Remedies of the Manager. Subject at all times to the Intercreditor and
Subordination Agreement, and provided that a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default Period
is not then continuing, whenever a Manager Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
(if such default is not cured within any applicable cure period), the Manager may thereafter give
the Bank and the Authority a Manager Notice of Exclusive Control, and the Bank (for and on behalf
and at the direction of the Manager) or the Manager, as applicable, shall be entitled to pay to the
Manager from Enterprise Collateral all amounts otherwise payable to the Authority with respect to
the Monthly Distribution Payment and to apply the same towards the repayment of the Manager
Obligations, and to endorse in the name of the Authority any checks,
18
drafts, notes or other instruments or documents received in payment of or on account of the
Enterprise Collateral; and any such proceeds so received and prepaid shall be applied to
installments of principal on the Manager Obligations in the inverse order of their maturity; and
provided further that the Manager may obtain any injunctive or other relief as is necessary for the
enforcement of this Agreement and the terms and provisions set forth herein; provided,
however, that any and all obligations of the Authority and remedies of the Manager shall be
Limited Recourse and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the Resolution of Limited
Waiver; and provided further that, notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein, the
Manager shall take all steps necessary to continue to permit and cause the necessary withdrawals
and transfers to be made from the Dominion Account in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof so
long as such withdrawals and transfers are both otherwise required to be made by the Development
and Management Agreement and permitted to be made by the Indenture, with the exception that the
Manager shall be entitled to retain all amounts otherwise payable to the Authority with respect to
the Monthly Distribution Payment and apply the same towards the repayment of the Manager
Obligations; and in no event shall the Manager exercise any remedy against the Authority (excluding
third parties) with respect to the Enterprise Revenues other than such remedies as are necessary to
require their deposit into the Dominion Account or seeking an accounting and turnover of any
Enterprise Revenues held in trust by the Authority as required under Section 2.2 hereof
until such time that the Authority shall have ceased business operations at the Enterprise, at
which time the Manager may exercise all rights and remedies under applicable law or by agreement
and apply all proceeds of the Enterprise Collateral to the repayment of the Manager Obligations;
and, as to third parties, in no event shall the Manager seek to recover funds paid to third parties
through transfers from the Dominion Account in accordance with Section 2.3. The Authority
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law with respect to the disposition
of any Collateral, at least ten (10) calendar days notice to the Authority of the time and place of
any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Manager agrees that it shall withdraw and terminate any Manager Notice of
Exclusive Control at such time that all outstanding Manager Events of Default have been cured by
the Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Collateral Agent provides a
Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, then during the continuation of the First Lien
Secured Obligations Event of Default Period commenced by such Collateral Agent Notice of Exclusive
Control the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall control and this Section 5.2(a)
shall not apply and any Manager Notice of Exclusive Control shall cease to be of effect.
(b) Remedies of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a),
whenever a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and, if such default is not cured within any applicable cure period, the Collateral Agent may
thereafter give the Bank and the Authority (and provide the Manager with a copy of) a Collateral
Agent Notice of Exclusive Control, and the Bank (for and on behalf and at the direction of the
Collateral Agent) or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, during the continuation of the
First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default Period commenced by such Collateral Agent Notice of
Exclusive Control, be entitled to pay to the Collateral Agent from the Dominion Account all amounts
otherwise payable to the Authority, and to endorse in the name of the Authority any checks, drafts,
notes or other instruments or documents received in payment of or on account of
19
the Gross Revenues or other Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have all remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and may provide any Deposit Account Order with
respect to the Dominion Account or instruct the Bank to pay to or deliver to, or to the order of,
Collateral Agent any or all amounts or assets on deposit in or credited to the Dominion Account;
and provided further that the Collateral Agent may obtain any injunctive or other relief as is
necessary for the enforcement of this Agreement and the terms and provisions set forth herein; and,
as to third parties, in no event shall the Collateral Agent seek to recover funds paid to third
parties through transfers from the Dominion Account in accordance with Section 2.3. The
Authority agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law with respect to the
disposition of any Collateral, at least ten (10) calendar days notice to the Authority of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification.
(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Bank, the Manager or the Collateral Agent after a Manager Event of Default or a
First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default, as the case may be, in connection with the
exercise of any remedy hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, are the costs, expense and
responsibility of the Authority and shall be paid from the Dominion Account notwithstanding any
other terms, provisions or priorities set forth in this Agreement.
Section 5.3 Waivers; Remedies. Any waiver given by the Manager or the Collateral
Agent hereunder shall be effective if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or
enforcement of any rights and remedies available to the Manager or the Collateral Agent. All
rights and remedies of the Bank, the Manager or the Collateral Agent shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly in any order or concurrently, at the option of the Manager or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, and the exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be
a condition to nor a bar to the exercise or enforcement of any other.

THE BANK
THE BANK
Section 6.1 Bank’s Rights and Duties.
(a) The Bank’s sole agency and duty with respect to the Manager and the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement is for the purposes of perfecting the Manager’s and the Collateral Agent’s pledge
and security interest in the Collateral and the Bank shall have no other duty or obligation,
fiduciary or otherwise to the Manager or the Collateral Agent except to the extent expressly set
forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Bank shall not be
liable to any party hereto for any transfer from the Dominion Account which the Bank, in its
commercially reasonable judgment, believes was authorized by the appropriate Person under this
Agreement, whether or not such transfer violates any contractual or fiduciary obligations of such
Person.
20
(b) The Bank undertakes to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Bank.
(c) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Bank may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Bank and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Bank, the Bank shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements hereof.
(d) In case that a Manager Event of Default or a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Bank has been so notified in writing, the Bank shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Bank from liability for
its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of duty hereunder, except that:
(i) | this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section; | ||
(ii) | the Bank shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer, employee or agent of the Bank, unless it shall be proved that the Bank was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and | ||
(iii) | no provision of this Agreement shall require the Bank to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. |
(f) Except for the requirements under Section 3.3 hereof, the safekeeping of any funds
in its possession, the accounting for funds actually received by it hereunder and the investment of
the funds in accordance with instructions given in accordance with this Agreement, the Bank shall
have no duty to the Authority as to any Gross Revenues or other Collateral or as to the taking of
any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any
Gross Revenues or other Collateral.
(g) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Dominion Account and services of
the Bank relating thereto shall be subject to, and the Bank’s operation of the Dominion Account and
the services of the Bank relating thereto (including without limitation any sweep product services)
shall be in accordance with, the terms and provisions of the Bank’s
21
customary account opening and other account and service-related documentation (as in effect
from time to time, collectively, the “Account Documentation”). The Authority agrees, upon
the Bank’s request, to promptly execute and deliver the Account Documentation to the Bank. In the
event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Account Documentation, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
(h) IN NO EVENT WILL THE BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH
DAMAGES WAS KNOWN TO THE BANK AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ALLEGING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FAILURE TO EXERCISE
REASONABLE CARE OR FAILURE TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH.
Section 6.2 Indemnification.
(a) The Authority agrees to indemnify, to hold the Bank harmless and to defend the Bank
against any claims, causes of action, damages or expenses, including all reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel (such claims, causes of action, damages and expenses being herein referred to
collectively as “Losses and Liabilities”) arising out of any claim against the Bank by any
Person with respect to amounts due to such Person from sums paid to the Bank hereunder, other than
with respect to claims arising out of the breach of this Agreement, or the willful misconduct or
gross negligence, by the Bank, its officers, agents or employees, in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement, and, as among the Authority, the Manager and the Collateral Agent, any such
amounts shall be deemed to be Costs of Construction under the Development and Management Agreement
with respect to all such amounts occurring prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter shall be
deemed Costs of Gaming Operations under the Development and Management Agreement and subject to the
terms of Section 3.9 thereof.
(b) To the extent to Authority fails to so indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Bank
against any Losses and Liabilities in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2(a)
within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Bank’s demand to the Authority therefor, then (a) the
Collateral Agent will indemnify the Bank against any such Losses and Liabilities the Bank may
suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the Bank having followed, in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, any instruction or request of the Collateral Agent (provided that
such indemnification obligation shall be limited to the amount of funds that have been disbursed to
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement), and (b) the Manager will indemnify the Bank against any
such Losses and Liabilities the Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the
Bank having followed, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, any instruction or
request of the Manager (provided that such indemnification obligation shall be limited to the
amount of funds that have been disbursed to the Manager under this Agreement). The Authority will
promptly indemnify the Collateral Agent or the Manager, as the case may be, with respect to any
Losses and Liabilities so paid pursuant to this Section 6.2(b), and, if such
indemnification is not promptly made, the Losses and Liabilities so paid shall be deemed to be
Costs of Gaming Operations under the Development and Management Agreement.
22
Section 6.3 Fees and Expenses. The Authority agrees to pay the Bank Fees as provided
in Section 2.1(f). The Authority further agrees, after a Manager Event of Default or First
Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default, to pay and reimburse the Bank on demand for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including in each case all filing and recording fees and taxes and all
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or expended by the Bank in connection with the
creation, perfection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the security interests granted
hereby and the preparation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement.
Section 6.4 Certain Rights of Bank. Except as otherwise provided in Section
6.1:
(a) The Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting or remaining from acting upon any
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or
other paper or documents believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.
(b) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Bank shall deem it desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering, or omitting any action hereunder, the
Bank (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, rely upon a certificate of an officer of the Manager and a certificate of an authorized
employee the Collateral Agent; provided, however, during a First Lien Secured
Obligations Event of Default Period, the Bank may only rely on a certificate of the Collateral
Agent.
(c) The Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order
or other paper or document, but the Bank, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.
Section 6.5 Bank Required, Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Bank hereunder
which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any State, having a combined capital, undivided profits and surplus of at least
$500,000,000.00. If at any time the Bank shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article.
Section 6.6 Resignation and Removal, Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Bank and no appointment of a successor Bank pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Bank under
Section 6.7 and execution by such successor Bank of an agreement assuming the obligations
of such resigning Bank hereunder or of a Dominion Account Agreement substantially in the form of
this Agreement. Following the resignation of the Bank, the Manager (pursuant to Section
6.6(d)(i)) or the Collateral Agent (pursuant to Section 6.6(d)(ii)) will act promptly
and in good faith to appoint a successor Bank.
23
(b) The Bank may resign (i) if any party should fail at any time to make any payment when due
to the Bank under the terms of this Agreement (following the expiration of any cure or grace period
provided in this Agreement with respect to such payment obligation and, with respect to any payment
obligation of the Authority, any period allowed for indemnification by another party of such
obligation), the Bank may resign by giving fifteen (15) calendar days prior written notice to the
Authority, the Manager and the Collateral Agent if such payment failure is not cured by the end of
such fifteen-day notice period, and (ii) otherwise, by giving thirty (30) calendar days prior
written notice thereof to the Authority, the Manager and the Collateral Agent. If an instrument of
acceptance by a successor Bank shall not have been delivered to the Bank within thirty (30)
calendar days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Bank may close the
Dominion Account and commence an interpleader or other appropriate action seeking a court order for
disposition of the proceeds of the Dominion Account or petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Bank.
(c) Subject to subsection (a) above, (i) other than during a First Lien Secured Obligations
Event of Default Period, the Bank may be removed at any time by an instrument in writing executed
by the Manager and the Collateral Agent, and (ii) during a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of
Default Period, the Bank may only be removed by an instrument in writing executed solely by the
Collateral Agent (in which case the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide the Manager written
notice of such removal in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6(e). In either case
any successor Bank must satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.5).
(d) If the Bank shall resign or be removed for any cause,
(i) other than during a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default Period, the Manager
shall promptly appoint a successor Bank and promptly provide the Collateral Agent written notice
of such appointment in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6(e); and
(ii) during a First Lien Secured Obligations Event of Default Period, the Collateral Agent
shall promptly appoint a successor Bank and promptly provide the Manager written notice of such
appointment in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6(e);
provided, however, that any successor Bank must satisfy the eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 6.5.
(e) Any party required to give written notice of the removal of the Bank and the appointment
of a successor Bank in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing Sections 6.6(c) and
(d) shall give such notice promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such
event, by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such notice shall include the
name of the successor Bank and the address of its principal corporate trust office. The recipient
of the notice, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, shall have the right to
reject the choice of the successor Bank by providing return written notice if (i) the
24

to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, provided, however that where the provisions of any
such applicable law may be waived, they hereby are waived by the parties hereto to the fullest
extent permitted by law to the end that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding
agreement in accordance with its terms.

forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue in full
force and effect until all the Manager Obligations and First Lien Secured Obligations shall have

the same instrument.
Section 7.9 Sovereign Immunity Waiver; Arbitration; Submission to Jurisdiction;

(a) Manager. This Agreement constitutes a Transaction Document. Unless and until the

agreement to which the Authority and the Manager are parties becomes effective and no further
Collateral is deposited in the Dominion Account established hereby, this Agreement constitutes the

Agreement apply to this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference, including, without
limitation, the limited sovereign immunity waiver, limitations on recourse and arbitration and
jurisdiction provisions contained therein and the Resolution of Limited Waiver referred to therein.
Such provisions are for the benefit of the Manager and not for the benefit of the Trustee, the
holders of the Senior Notes or the Collateral Agent.
27
(b) Indenture. This Agreement constitutes the Notes Dominion Account Agreement as
defined and referred to in the Indenture, and the provisions of such Indenture are hereby
incorporated by reference, including, without limitation, the limited sovereign immunity waiver,
limitations on recourse and arbitration provisions contained therein. Such provisions are for the
benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Senior Notes and not for the benefit of the Manager.
In addition, the Authority expressly agrees that all limited sovereign immunity waivers,
limitations on recourse and arbitration provisions set forth in the Indenture for the benefit of
the Trustee or any of the First Lien Secured Parties are hereby incorporated by reference and shall
be deemed to apply equally to the Collateral Agent and the Bank to the full extent set forth in the
Indenture.
Section 7.10 Agreements Control. With respect to the Dominion Account, in the event
of inconsistency (a) between the Development and Management Agreement and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall control or (b) between the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and this
Agreement, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement shall control; provided,
however, the duties and obligations of the Bank shall be governed solely by this Agreement.
Section 7.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the internal law of the State of New York (including the Uniform
Commercial Code, which Uniform Commercial Code shall apply without regard to any provision therein
that would otherwise provide that such Uniform Commercial Code is inapplicable to the Tribe or any
Tribal Party, whether based upon the fact that the Tribe or any Tribal Party is deemed to be a
governmental body or otherwise); except that (i) to the extent that New York law does not recognize
or provide for the creation, attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security
interest granted hereby in any Collateral that is recognized or provided for under the Tribal UCC
Code, then the Tribal UCC Code shall apply thereto so as to give effect to such creation,
attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement, and (ii) to the extent that such Tribal UCC Code
shall under any circumstances otherwise be more favorable to a secured party hereunder than to the
Authority, then under such circumstances and to such extent the Tribal UCC Code shall apply. As
used in this provision, “Tribal Party” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Tribal
UCC Code.
Section 7.12 Compliance with Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement. The
Collateral Agent and the Manager hereby acknowledge and agree as between themselves that,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise of any right or remedy by the Manager
hereunder (including, without limitation, its right to give any instructions to the Bank and to
withdraw funds from the Dominion Account) is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor and
Subordination Agreement.
Section 7.13 Successors and Assigns.
(a) None of the Authority, the Collateral Agent or the Manager may assign or transfer its
rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person without the prior written consent of
the Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, that
28
no such consent of the Bank will be required if (i) such party provides prompt written notice of
such assignment or transfer to the Bank, (ii) the assignee or transferee is not entitled to any
rights or benefits under this Agreement until it provides evidence in writing reasonably acceptable
to the Bank that such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, and (iii) such assignment or transfer does not violate applicable laws).
(b) The Bank may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any
other Person without the prior written consent of the Manager and the Collateral Agent, which
