4 Business Affairs in Connection with Enterprise.

4.1 Manager’s Authority and Responsibility. All business and affairs in
connection with the day-to-day operation, management, maintenance and
improvement of the Gaming Facility, including the establishment of operating
days and hours, consistent with the Tribal Gaming Ordinance, shall be the
responsibility of the Manager. The Manager is hereby granted the necessary power
and authority to act, through the General Manager, in order to fulfill its
responsibilities under this Agreement. The General Manager shall be a person
selected by the Manager, subject to the approval of the Tribe, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.1.1 Manager’s Authority and Responsibility Regarding Additional improvements.
The Parties agree that Manager’s share of revenues derived from additional
improvements which the Tribe may choose to build on or near the Property after
the Commencement Date shall be dependent on Manager’s involvement in financing
such improvement(s), and the level of Manager’s duties and responsibilities
associated with the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of
any such improvement(s), or the activities occurring in the improvement(s), all
as the Tribe may delegate to Manager, and the Parties agree upon through
subsequent negotiation. Nothing herein shall deny Manager the exclusive right,
during the term of this Agreement, to operate any and all Gaming activities on
the Property on the Tribe’s behalf as may be permitted under IGRA and the
Tribe-State compact.

4.2 Duties of the Manager. In managing, operating, maintaining, improving and
repairing the Gaming Facility, the cost of which shall be either an Operating
Expense or Capital Expense, the Manager’s duties shall include, without
limitation, the following:

4.2.1 Management. The Manager shall use reasonable measures for the orderly
administration, management, and operation of the Enterprise including without
limitation cleaning, painting, decorating, plumbing, carpeting, grounds care and
such other maintenance and repair and improvement work as is reasonably
necessary.

4.2.2 Contracts in Enterprise’s Name and at Arm’s Length. Contracts for the
operations of the Enterprise shall be entered into in the name of the Enterprise
and be signed by the General Manager. Except in the event of an emergency, any
contract requiring an expenditure in any year in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000) shall be approved by the Tribe. No contracts for the supply of
goods or services to the Enterprise shall be entered into with parties
affiliated with the Manager or its officers or directors unless the affiliation
is disclosed to the Tribe in writing, and the contract terms are determined by
the Tribe to be no less favorable for the Enterprise than could be obtained from
a non-affiliated contractor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, contracts for the supply of any goods or services paid for entirely by
the Manager may be provided by parties affiliated with the Manager or its
officers or directors, provided that payments on such contracts shall not
constitute Operating Expenses and

June 12, 2006

Page 14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall be the sole responsibility of the Manager. Absent the prior written
approval of the Tribal Council, no contract entered into by Manager or entered
into in the name of the Enterprise shall contain as a provision a waiver of the
Tribe’s sovereign immunity from suit.

4.2.3 Culturally Sensitive Material. The Manager agrees that the choices
involving the Enterprise and the Gaming Facility including but not limited to
the Enterprise Employees’ uniforms, interior design, promotions and marketing
shall be culturally appropriate and shall in no way denigrate Indian history or
culture by the use of stereotyped images, symbols and language. If, at any time,
the Manager is notified by the Tribe that any such activity is not culturally
appropriate, the Manager shall have thirty (30) days to cease such activity.

4.3 Damage, by fire, war casualty, Act of God, Condemnation.

4.3.1 If, during the Term, the Gaming Facility is damaged or destroyed by fire,
war, Act of God or other casualty, or if the Property or the Gaming Facility is
partially condemned, the Manager agrees to carry sufficient insurance to rebuild
the Gaming Facility and shall reconstruct the Gaming Facility to a condition at
least comparable to that before the casualty or partial condemnation occurred.
The insurance or condemnation proceeds shall be applied to that reconstruction,
which shall be completed as soon as possible. If the insurance or condemnation
proceeds are insufficient to reconstruct the Gaming Facility to such condition
where Gaming can once again be conducted, the Manager may supply such additional
funds as are necessary to reconstruct the Gaming Facility to such condition and
such funds shall, with the prior consent of the Tribe, constitute a loan to the
Tribe, secured by the revenues from the Enterprise as Collateral, and repayable
under the terms of the Loan Agreement unless other terms are agreed upon by the
Tribe and the Manager.

4.3.2 Total condemnation. In the event that the Enterprise or the Property is
condemned in total by a governmental agency with the lawful authority to carry
out such an action, the proceeds from any such condemnation award shall be
applied (i) to retire any amounts due under the Loan Agreement, and, if any sums
remain, (ii) to pay the Tribe, as owner for the value of the land, buildings,
and fixtures; provided, however, that any condemnation award that includes lost
profits shall be shared between the Parties, with the allocation to Manager
calculated on the basis of Manager’s remaining term and its percentage share of
Net Revenues. The Parties shall retain all money previously paid under Section 6
of this Agreement.

4.4 Manager’s Obligation; Suspension of Manager’s Duties. The Manager’s
obligations under this Agreement, except for its obligation under Sections
3.1.1.1 and 6.13, are conditioned on (i) NIGC approval of this Agreement and

Gaming Facility. If during the Term, Gaming on the Property is: (i) legally
prohibited or (ii) rendered economically unfeasible as a result of the Tribe’s
default under this Agreement or the adoption of a Tribal Ordinance or other
Tribal law, the Manager may suspend its duties under this Agreement.

Property

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

because of damage, destruction or condemnation or because Gaming on the Property
is: (i) legally prohibited or (ii) rendered economically unfeasible as a result
of the Tribe’s default under this Agreement or the adoption of a Tribal
Ordinance or other Tribal law, the recommencement of Gaming shall be legally and
commercially feasible in the sole judgment of the Manager, and if the Manager
has not terminated this Agreement, the period of such cessation shall not be
deemed to have been part of the Term and the date of expiration of the Term
shall be extended by the number of days of such cessation period; provided that
the extension shall not exceed twelve months.

by the Manager or the Tribe. The background investigation procedures employed
shall be formulated in consultation between the Tribe and the Manager and shall
satisfy all regulatory requirements independently applicable to the Manager. Any
cost associated with obtaining such background investigations shall constitute

having been given written notice of such claim, either by payment to the

Operating Expenses, and Net Revenues, together with the distributions made under
this section, for such month and the year to date. From the Gross Revenues,
Manager shall pay all Operating Expenses.

6.2 Distribution of Net Revenues. After the payment of Operating Expenses, Net

Payments shall be charged against the Tribe’s distribution of Net Revenues and,
if there are insufficient Net Revenues in a given month to make the
distribution, Manager shall advance the funds necessary to compensate for the
deficiency; and shall be reimbursed by the Tribe in the next succeeding month or
months as a Recoupment Payment as provided in Section 6.6 herein. No Minimum
Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall be owed for any full months during which Gaming

4.4, but shall be prorated based on the number of days that Gaming is conducted
during any such month. The obligation shall cease upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason.

6.4 Payment of Tribe’s Preferred Payment. In addition to the payment of the
Tribe’s Minimum Guarantee, Manager shall next make a second distribution to the
Tribe constituting a Preferred Payment in the amount of $200,000 per month,
charged against the Tribe’s distribution of Net Revenues. In the event that
there are insufficient Net Revenues in a given month to make the distribution,
then the shortfall shall be paid to the Tribe in the next succeeding month or
months. No payment of the Tribe’s Preferred Payment shall be owed for any full
months during which Gaming is suspended or terminated at the Gaming Facility

days that Gaming is conducted during any such month. The obligation shall cease
upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

6.5 Repayment of Loan Principal. Until repaid in full, the Manager shall be
entitled to an amount sufficient to repay principal due on the Loan. The

June 12, 2006

Page 24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.5 shall be paid out of the Tribe’s share of Net Revenues in monthly
payments amortized over the Term of this Agreement. In the event that there are
insufficient Net Revenues in a given month to make the principal payment, then
the shortfall shall be paid to Manager in the next succeeding month or months as
a Recoupment Payment under section 6.6 herein. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, in the event that the Parties are required to pay points or a
loan origination fee as a condition for receipt of the Loan for the Project, the
Parties agree to share the cost of the points or loan origination fee based on
their respective shares of Net Revenues under this Agreement. The Parties will
contribute their share of the fee during the term of this Agreement.

6.6 Recoupment Payments. Next, until paid in full, the Manager shall be entitled
to any Recoupment Payments that may be owed. No interest shall accrue or be paid

6.7 Management Fee. Next, to pay the Manager a Management Fee in an amount equal
to twenty-six percent (26%) of the Net Revenues; provided that if there are
insufficient funds in any month to pay the Management Fee in full, because the
Tribe’s Share of Net Revenues is insufficient to pay the principal due under
Section 6.5 (and therefore, the principal is paid from funds that would have
otherwise paid the Management Fee), then the shortfall shall be paid to the
Manager in the next succeeding month or months as a Recoupment Payment. It is
understood that the Manager will pay a royalty fee to Green Acres out of its
Management Fee as provided in the Royalty Agreements.

payable to a Tribal bank account specified by the Tribe.

6.10 Payment of Total Condemnation Proceeds. Finally, as provided in section
4.3.2 herein, in the event that the Enterprise or the Property is condemned in
total by a governmental agency with the lawful authority to carry out such an
action, the proceeds from any such condemnation award shall be applied (i) to
retire any amounts due under the Loan Agreement, and, if any sums remain,
(ii) to be paid to the Parties in accordance with the requirements of section
4.3.2 of this Agreement. The Parties shall retain all money previously paid
under Section 6 of this Agreement.

6.11 Repayment of Additional Principal. Subject to the requirements of sections
3.1.6 and 3.1.7.1, the maximum amount of principal to be repaid by the Tribe
herein during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed One Hundred and
Forty-Two Million ($142,000,000). The Tribe, at its option, may prepay all or

6.12 Operative Dates. For purposes of this Section 6, the first year of
operations shall begin on the Commencement Date and continue until the first day
of the month following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and each
subsequent year of operations shall be the 12-month period following the end of
the previous year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in
Section 4.5, the Term shall not extend beyond seven years (7) after the
Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the fiscal year for
the Enterprise shall coincide with the Tribe’s fiscal year.

6.13 Tribal Operations Loan. Commencing January 1, 1999, through the date of
execution of this Agreement, Manager has loaned the sum of Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($20,000) per month to the Tribe, to subsidize Tribal operations (the
“Tribal Operations Loan”). As a result of delays in obtaining governmental
approvals, occasioned by third-party legal challenges, and to meet growing
Tribal operational needs, Manager agrees to loan the Tribe the sum of Forty
Thousand Dollars ($40,000) per month for the Tribal Operations Loan. Monthly
payments to the Tribe as part of the Tribal Operations Loan shall end upon the
Commencement Date. The outstanding balance of Tribal Operations Loan shall not
bear interest until the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Tribe agrees
to pay an annual interest rate of nine and one-quarter percent (9.25%) on the
second payment of $20,000 per month from the date on which such additional
Tribal Operations Loan is made to the Tribe through the Effective Date.
Following the Effective Date, the outstanding balance of the total Tribal
Operations Loan shall bear interest at the interest rate set forth in
Section 3.2 of the Loan Agreement, with the interest rate calculated as of the
Effective Date. The Tribal Operations Loan shall be treated as a Pre-Financing
Cost under this Agreement. Manager shall pay the Tribe the revised Tribal
Operations Loan amount upon the Parties’ signing of this Agreement,
notwithstanding the requirement to obtain the signature of any other entity or
official to this Agreement.

6.14 Year-end Adjustment. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the audit
for each fiscal year of the Enterprise, Manager shall determine in consultation
with the Tribe the correct amount of the Management Fee for such fiscal year

remit to the Tribe or deduct from the next distribution to the Tribe the amount
of the over or underpayment of the Management Fee.

7 Trade Names, Trade Marks and Service Marks.

7.1 Enterprise Name. The Enterprise shall be operated under such business name
as the Tribe may select (the “Enterprise Name”).

7.2 Trade Names, Trade Marks and Service Marks. Prior to the Commencement Date,
the Parties shall determine the other trade names, trade marks and service marks
to be used by the Enterprise (the “Tribe’s Marks”) and from time to time during
the term hereof, Manager agrees to erect and install, in accordance with local
codes and regulations, all signs Manager deems necessary in, on or about the
Gaming Facility, including, but not limited to, signs bearing the Tribe’s Marks.
The costs of purchasing, leasing, transporting, constructing, maintaining and

 

Huron Band-GEM Management Agreement

June 12, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

installing the required signs and systems shall be an Operating Expense of the
Enterprise and accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The Enterprise will be
primarily identified with the Tribe’s Marks.

7.3 Manager’s Marks. The Tribe agrees to recognize the exclusive right of
ownership of Manager or its parents to all of Manager’s service marks,
trademarks, copyrights, trade names, patents or other similar rights or
registrations now or hereafter held or applied for in connection therewith
(collectively, the “Manager’s Marks”). The Tribe hereby disclaims any right or
interest therein, regardless of any legal protection afforded thereto. The Tribe
acknowledges that all of Manager’s Marks might not be used in connection with
the Enterprise, and Manager shall have sole discretion to determine which of
Manager’s Marks shall be so used. The Tribe covenants that in the event of
termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, whether as a result
of a default by Manager or otherwise, the Tribe shall not hold itself out as, or
continue operation of the Enterprise as a Manager’s casino nor will it utilize
any of Manager’s Marks or any variant thereof in the operation of the Gaming
Facility. The Tribe agrees that Manager or its parent or their respective
representative may, at any time thereafter, enter the Gaming Facility and may
remove all signs, furniture, printed material, emblems, slogans or other
distinguishing characteristics which are now or hereafter may be connected or
identified with Manager or which carry any Manager’s Mark. The Tribe shall not
use the Manager’s or its parent’s name, or any variation thereof, directly or
indirectly, in connection with (a) a private placement or public sale of
security or other comparable means of financing or (b) press releases and other
public communications, without the prior written approval of Manager or its
parent.

7.4 Litigation Involving Manager’s Marks. The Enterprise and Manager hereby
agree that in the event the Enterprise and/or Manager is (are) the subject of
any litigation or action brought by anyone seeking to restrain the use, for or
with respect to the Enterprise or the Manager of any Manager’s Mark used by
Manager for or in connection with the Enterprise, any such litigation or action
shall be defended entirely at the expense of Manager, notwithstanding that
Manager may not be named as a party thereto.

8 Taxes.

8.1 State and Local Taxes. The Parties agree that the State of Michigan and its
local governments have no authority to impose any possessory interest, property,
or sales tax on any Party to this Agreement or upon the Enterprise, and that the
Parties and the Enterprise shall take all reasonable steps to resist such a tax.
The reasonable costs of such action and the compensation of legal counsel shall
be an Operating Expense of the Enterprise. Any tax paid and determined lawful by
a court of competent jurisdiction shall constitute an Operating Expense of the
Enterprise. This Section shall in no manner be construed to imply that any Party
to this Agreement or the Enterprise is liable for any such tax.

8.2 Tribal Taxes. The Tribe agrees that neither it nor any agent, agency,
affiliate or representative of the Tribe will impose any taxes, fees,
assessments, or other charges of any

furnishing financing for the Property, the Gaming Facility or for the
Enterprise, or on the Enterprise, the Gaming Facility, Furniture and Equipment,

may impose license fees reflecting reasonable out-of-pocket regulatory costs
paid by the Tribe. The Tribe further agrees that neither it nor any agent,
agency, affiliate or representative will impose any taxes, fees, assessments or
other charges of any nature whatsoever on the salaries or benefits, or dividends
paid to, any of the Manager’s stockholders, officers, directors, or employees.
The Parties agree, however, that the Enterprise may be subject to a general
Tribal tax on businesses operating on Tribal lands. If, contrary to this

has violated section 10.2 of this Agreement. Neither Party may terminate this
Agreement on grounds of material breach unless it has provided written notice to
the other Party of its intention to terminate this Agreement and within ten
(10) days following receipt of such notice the defaulting Party fails (a) to
cure the default or (b) to commence curing the default and thereafter diligently
to proceed to cure the default. Discontinuance or correction of a material
breach shall constitute a cure thereof.

11.2.2 The Tribe may also terminate this Agreement where the Manager has had its
license withdrawn because the Manager, or a director or officer of the Manager,
has been convicted of a criminal felony or misdemeanor offense directly related
to the performance of the Manager’s duties hereunder; provided, however the
Tribe may not terminate this Agreement based on a director or officer’s
conviction where the Manager terminates such individual immediately after
receiving notice of the conviction. Any such director or officer charged with a
criminal felony or misdemeanor offense directly related to the performance of
Manager’s duties shall have no role in the management of the Enterprise until
such time as such person is cleared of the charge or charges.

11.2.3 An election to pursue damages or to pursue specific performance of this
Agreement or other equitable remedies while this Agreement remains in effect
shall not preclude the injured Party from providing notice of termination
pursuant to this Section 11.2.

11.3 Involuntary Termination Due to Changes in Legal Requirements. It is the
understanding and intention of the Parties that the establishment and operation
of the Enterprise conforms to and complies with all Legal Requirements. If
during the term of this Agreement, a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction determines Gaming at the Enterprise is unlawful, and all appeals
from such judgment have been exhausted, the obligations of the Parties hereto
shall cease and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect except as
to (a) accrued liabilities to third parties, (b) to the provisions of
Section 12.1 and Section 17 and (c) Manager’s rights under the Loan Documents;
provided that (i) the Manager and the Tribe shall retain all money previously
paid to them pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement; (ii) funds of the
Enterprise in any account shall be paid and distributed as provided in Section 6
of this Agreement; (iii) any money loaned by or guaranteed by the Manager or its
affiliates to the Tribe shall be repaid to the Manager from the Collateral; and
(iv) the Tribe shall retain its interest in the title (and any lease) to all
Enterprise fixtures, supplies and equipment, subject to any requirements of
financing arrangements.

11.4 Consequences of Manager’s Breach. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement by the Tribe for cause under Section 11.2, the Manager shall not,
prospectively from the date of termination, have the right to its Management Fee
from the Enterprise, but such termination shall not affect the Manager’s rights
under Section 12, the Loan Documents or any other agreements entered pursuant
hereto.

11.5 Consequences of Tribe’s Breach. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by the Manager for cause under Section 11.2, the Manager shall not be
required to perform any further services under this Agreement and the Tribe
shall indemnify and hold the Manager harmless against all liabilities of any
nature whatsoever relating to the Enterprise arising after the date of
termination, but only insofar as these liabilities result from acts within the
control of the Tribe or its agents.

11.6 Notice Provision. Except where the Tribal Gaming Ordinance, the Compact, or
any other applicable law or regulation provide for immediate action or action in
less than 30 days time, the Tribe or the Gaming Commission shall provide the
Manager notice of any alleged violation of the Tribal Gaming Ordinance and
thirty (30) days opportunity to cure before the Gaming Commission may take any
action based on such alleged violation.

12 Conclusion of the Management Term. Upon the conclusion of the Term, or the
termination of this Agreement under other of its provisions, in addition to
other rights under this Agreement, the Manager shall have the following rights:

12.1 Undistributed Net Revenues. If the Enterprise has Net Revenues
(irrespective of whether such Net Revenues are known or unknown upon the
expiration of the Term or the sooner termination of this Agreement) which have
not been distributed under Section 6 of this Agreement, the Manager shall
receive, at such time as such Net Revenues are determined, that portion of such
Net Revenues that it would have received had such Net Revenues been distributed
during the Term.

13 Consents and Approvals.

13.1 Tribe. Where approval or consent or other action of the Tribe is required,
such approval shall mean the written approval of the Tribal Council evidenced by
a resolution thereof, certified by a tribal official as having been duly
adopted, or, if provided by resolution of the Tribal Council, the approval of
the Tribal Gaming Commission, or such other person or entity designated by
resolution of the Tribal Council. Any such approval, consent or action shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided the foregoing does not apply where
a specific provision of this Agreement allows the Tribe an absolute right to
deny approval or consent or withhold action.

13.2 Manager. Where approval or consent or other action of the Manager is
required, such approval shall mean written approval. Any such approval, consent
or other action shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14 Disclosures.

14.1 Shareholders and Directors. Manager shall provide to the Tribe and the NIGC

responsibility for, this Agreement, it shall notify the NIGC and the Tribe of
such change no later than ten days after it becomes aware of such change as
required by 25 C.F.R. § 537.2. The Manager further agrees to notify the NIGC and
the Tribe of any change with respect to the warranties and representations
contained on Section 14.2(ii) or (iii) of this Agreement no later than ten days
after it becomes aware of such change. All of the warranties and agreements
contained in this Section 14 shall apply to any person or entity who would be
disclosed pursuant to this Section 14 as a result of such changes.

14.5 Breach of Manager Warranties and Agreements. The material breach of any
warranty or agreement of the Manager contained in this Section 14 shall be
grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement; provided that (a) if a
breach of the warranty contained in clause (ii) of Section 14.2 is discovered,
and such breach was not disclosed by any background check conducted by the FBI
as part of the NIGC or other federal approval of this Agreement, or was
discovered by the FBI investigation but all officers and directors of the
Manager sign sworn affidavits that they had no knowledge of such breach, then
the Manager shall have thirty (30) days after notice from the Tribe to terminate
the interest of the offending person or entity and, if such termination takes
place, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) if a breach
relates to a failure to update changes in financial position or additional
gaming related activities, then the Manager shall have thirty (30) days after

security agreement related to the Loan Agreement may be recorded in any public
records. Where such recordation is desired in any relevant recording office
maintained by the Tribe, and/or in the public records of the BIA, the Tribe will
accomplish such recordation upon the request of the Manager. Manager shall
promptly reimburse the Tribe for all expense, including attorney fees, incurred
as a result of such request. No such recordation shall waive the Tribe’s
sovereign immunity.

16 No Present Lien, Lease or Joint Venture. The Parties agree and expressly
warrant that neither this Agreement nor any exhibit thereto is a mortgage or
lease and, consequently, does not convey any such present interest whatsoever in
the Gaming Facility or the Property, nor any proprietary interest in the
Enterprise to Manager. The Parties further agree and acknowledge that it is not
their intent, and that this Agreement shall not be construed, to create a joint
venture between the Tribe and the Manager; rather, the Manager shall be deemed
to be an independent contractor for all purposes hereunder.

17 Arbitration. Either Party may submit any dispute arising under the terms of
this Agreement, the Loan Documents and any other document executed in
conjunction with this Agreement to arbitration under this Section 17, including
without limitation a claim that a Party has breached this Agreement and the
Agreement should be terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the
following tribal actions shall not be subject to arbitration: (i) approval of
budgets; (ii) licensing decisions; (iii) governmental actions of the Tribal
Council (except such actions which are intended to abrogate provisions of this
Agreement); and (iv) Gaming

 

Huron Band-GEM Management Agreement

June 12, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commission actions taken in the course of carrying out regulatory duties and
responsibilities assigned to the Gaming Commission pursuant to tribal law.
Arbitration shall be the exclusive means of dispute resolution between the
Parties and shall take place under the procedure set forth in this Section 17.
The arbitrators shall have the right to grant injunctive relief and specific
performance.

17.1 Unless the Parties agree upon the appointment of a single arbitrator, a
panel of arbitrators consisting of three (3) members shall be appointed. One
(1) member shall be appointed by the Tribe and one (1) member shall be appointed
by the Manager within ten (10) working days’ time following the giving of notice
submitting a dispute to arbitration. The third member shall be selected by
agreement of the other two (2) members. In the event the two (2) members cannot
agree upon the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) working days’ time, then the
third arbitrator shall be chosen by the Chief Judge of the United States
District Court for the Western District of Michigan. If for any reason the Chief
Judge refuses to choose the third arbitrator, the Dean of the Law School at the
University of Michigan shall make the selection.

17.2 Expenses of arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties unless the
arbitrator or arbitration panel determines that the expenses should be paid by
the non prevailing Party under standards similar to those in Rule 11 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Meetings of the arbitrators may be in person
or, in appropriate circumstances, by telephone. All decisions of any arbitration
panel shall be by majority vote of the panel, shall be in writing, and, together
with any dissenting opinions, shall be delivered to both Parties.

17.3 The arbitrator or arbitration panel shall have power to administer oaths to
witnesses, to take evidence under oath, and, by majority vote, to issue
subpoenas to compel the attendance of members of the Tribe, Enterprise Employees
or employees, officers and directors of the Manager for the production of books,
records, documents and other relevant evidence by either Party. The Tribe and
the Manager agree to comply with such subpoenas.

17.4 The arbitrator or arbitration panel shall hold hearings in the proceeding
before it and shall give reasonable advance notice to the Tribe and the Manager
by registered mail not less than five (5) days before any hearing. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Tribe and the Manager, all hearings shall be held at the
Tribal Offices on the Huron Band of Potawatomi Reservation. Appearance at a
hearing waives such notice. The arbitrator or arbitration panel may hear and
determine the controversy only upon evidence produced before it and may
determine the controversy notwithstanding the failure of either the Tribe or the
Manager duly notified to appear. The Tribe and the Manager are each entitled to
be heard at all hearings, to present evidence material to the matter subject to
arbitration, to cross-examine witnesses appearing at the hearing, and to be
represented by counsel at its own expense.

17.5 If the matter being submitted to arbitration involves a notice to terminate
the Agreement for material breach, the Party seeking termination may apply to
the arbitrator or arbitration panel for an order suspending performance of the
Agreement during the pendency of arbitration, and the arbitrator or arbitration
panel shall promptly hear and decide that application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17.6 The decision of the arbitrator or arbitration panel shall be presumed to be
valid, shall be enforceable in full in any court of competent jurisdiction and
may be vacated or modified only by the United States District Court for the
Western District of Michigan on one of the following grounds; (a) the decision
is not supported by substantial evidence; (b) the decision was procured by
corruption, fraud or undue means; (c) there was evident partiality or corruption
by the arbitrator, arbitration panel or any member; (d) the arbitrator,
arbitration panel or any member was guilty of misconduct in refusing to hear the
question, or in refusing to hear evidence pertinent and material to the
question, or any other clear misbehavior by which the rights of either Party
have been substantially prejudiced; (e) the arbitrator or arbitration panel or
any member exceeded its authority under the terms of this Agreement; or (f) the
arbitrator or arbitration panel’s decision is contrary to law.

17.7 The Tribe waives its sovereign immunity only to the extent of allowing
arbitration and judicial review and enforcement under the procedures set forth
in this Section 17. This Agreement does not constitute and shall not be
construed as a waiver of sovereign immunity by the Tribe except to permit
arbitration and judicial review and enforcement under the procedures set forth
in this Section 17.

17.8 Notwithstanding this or any other provision, the arbitrator(s) may make an
award of only damages or interpretation of this Management Agreement and related
agreements and the only tribal income, assets and property which shall be
subject to any claim or award under this Agreement are (a) any undistributed or
future income, revenues or proceeds from the Enterprise and/or the Gaming
Facility, including without limitation such revenues arising or generated from
the Enterprise and/or the Gaming Facility after the termination of this
Agreement, and (b) Gaming and related revenues from the Gaming Facility arising
or generated after the date that the matter in dispute is referred to
arbitration.

17.9 In no event shall this Section 17 Arbitration apply to any governmental
function, action or decision of the Tribe or any of its boards, agencies or
commissions.

17.10 This Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and
agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, written or oral,
between the Parties.

19 Government Savings Clause. Each of the Parties agrees to execute, deliver
and, if necessary, record any and all additional instruments, certifications,
amendments, modifications and other documents as may be required by the United
States Department of the Interior, BIA, the NIGC, the Office of the Field
Solicitor, or any applicable statute, rule or regulation in order to effectuate,
complete, perfect, continue or preserve the respective rights, obligations,
liens and interests of the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by
law; provided, that any such

additional instrument, certification, amendment, modification or other document
shall not materially change the respective rights, remedies or obligations of
the Tribe or the Manager under this Agreement or any other agreement or document
related hereto.

20. Execution. This Agreement is being executed in four counterparts, two to be
retained by each Party. Each of the four originals is equally valid. This
Agreement shall be binding upon both Parties when properly executed and approved
by the Chairman of the NIGC.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the day
and year first above written.
