 3.    For the avoidance of doubt, the Mohegan Tribe and the State agree
that, so long as no change in State law is enacted to permit the operating of video facsimiles or other commercial casino games by any person other than as specifically set forth in the MOU as amended by this agreement, and no person within the
State other than as set forth in the MOU as amended by this agreement lawfully operates video facsimile games or other commercial casino games, if the operation of online casino gaming contemplated herein by the Mohegan Tribe takes place on or is
deemed to take place on the Mohegan reservation, the Mohegan Tribe will make a contribution to the State in a sum equal to (i) eighteen percent (18%) of the gross gaming revenue from such online casino gaming during the five (5) year

fifteenth day of each succeeding month while such online casino gaming takes place on the Mohegan reservation.
