RECITALS

A. The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians and is recognized as possessing powers of self-government.

B. In compliance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, P.L. 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq. as it may from time to time be amended, the Tribal Council of the Tribe has enacted a tribal ordinance regulating the operation of gaming activities on Tribal Lands (hereinafter referred to as the “Tribal Gaming Ordinance”), creating the Shingle Springs Tribal Gaming Commission, and authorizing Class II Gaming and Class III Gaming on its Indian lands subject to the provisions of the Tribal Gaming Ordinance and a Tribal-State Compact.

C. The Tribe is committed to the use of gaming activities to provide employment and address the social, economic, education, and health needs of its members; to increase the revenues of the Tribe; and to enhance the Tribe’s economic self-sufficiency and self-determination.

D. Because the Tribe lacks the resources to develop and operate a gaming facility and enterprise on its own, it desired to retain the services of a developer and manager with knowledge and experience in the gaming industry to secure financing, develop, manage and operate a Class II Gaming and Class III Gaming facility and related resort facilities located on its Indian lands in accordance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, as amended.

E. To assist with the financing, development, management and operations of its planned gaming facility and enterprise to be known as the Foothill Oaks Casino (the “Project”), the Tribe and LKAR entered into the First Amended and Restated Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Gaming Development and Management Agreement (as amended by an Amendment dated June 16, 2004 and approved by the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”) on July 19, 2004 and as further amended by a Second Amendment dated January 23, 2007 approved by the NIGC on March 20, 2007, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum

Third Amendment to
October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum Agreement

Agreement”) and other Transaction Documents dated October 13, 2003 in connection with the Project; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum Agreement.

F. On April 21, 2007, the Tribal Council of the Tribe activated the Shingle Springs Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”), previously established by tribal Resolution 2004-18 as an instrumentality of the Tribe, by appointing the Management Board of the Authority; and the governmental and proprietary powers and rights of the Tribe over the development, construction, operation, promotion and financing of the Foothill Oaks Casino and the Enterprise, as described in Section 1 of Ordinance 2004-18, thereby became the delegated responsibility of the Authority (such activation and delegation being referred to as the “Authority Activation”).

G. The Tribe, the Authority and LKAR have contemporaneously herewith executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of April 20, 2007 by which, in connection with the Authority Activation, the Tribe assigned to the Authority, and the Authority assumed, the Tribe’s rights and responsibilities under the October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum Agreement and other Transaction Documents.

H. Pursuant to the terms of the January 23, 2007 Second Amendment, the Tribe agreed that upon the Authority becoming activated the Tribe would cause the Authority (i) to approve and execute this Third Amendment, (ii) enter into an agreement reflecting the assignment to and assumption by the Authority of the Tribe’s rights and responsibilities under the October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum Agreement and other Transaction Documents, in accordance with Section 1 of Ordinance 2004-18; and (iii) adopt a resolution of limited waiver related to approval of this Third Amendment.

I. Financing and construction of the Project and the dedicated interchange from US 50 providing direct access to the Shingle Springs Rancheria was delayed because of litigation commenced by El Dorado County. The Tribe has entered into an agreement with El Dorado County and received judicial decisions in connection with the litigation, and has also received a permit from the California Department of Transportation (“CALTRANS”), which will now allow construction of the US 50 dedicated interchange to begin.

J. Consistent with the January 23, 2002 FONSI issued by the NIGC in connection with its approval of the October 13, 2003 Amended Memorandum Agreement, including the requirement that the Tribe obtain approval of the US 50 dedicated interchange by CALTRANS and the BIA “prior to construction and operation” of the Project, and also the Tribe’s July 7, 2004 assurance that “it will not open and operate its gaming facility . . . until the US 50 dedicated interchange is completed and open to traffic,” construction of the US 50 dedicated interchange and the Project is scheduled to commence in May 2007, and the Tribe expects to close on the Facility Loan financing in June 2007.

K. In connection with the financing and construction of the Project and the US 50

Termination is not an exclusive remedy for breach, and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to other rights and remedies as may be available. For purposes of this Amended Memorandum Agreement, a “Material Breach” is any of the following circumstances: (i) failure of LKAR to provide the Authority with the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments pursuant to Section 6.3, (ii) material failure of either party to perform in accordance with this Amended Memorandum Agreement for reasons not excused under Section 10.6 (Force Majeure), (iii) if any of LKAR’s employees commits theft, embezzlement or crime of moral turpitude and if, after knowledge of such act or, if disputed, after determination by arbitration under Article 11, LKAR does not remove such employee from connection with Class II Gaming or Class III Gaming operations of the Enterprise within

(c) This Amended Memorandum Agreement (and the other Transaction Documents), as amended, constitute valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the Authority in accordance with their terms, executed by the Authority or the Tribe in connection therewith, and when approved by the NIGC, will constitute, together with the other Transaction Documents, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the Authority in accordance with their terms.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11(d), the execution and delivery of this Amended Memorandum Agreement (and other Transaction Documents), as amended, the performance by the Authority of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by the Authority of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any contract or agreement to which the Tribe or the Authority is a party, law, regulation, rule or ordinance, or any order, judgment or decree of any federal, state, tribal or local court, or require any approval by Governmental Authorities beyond those contemplated herein.
