     d. Pledgor covenants that it will execute and deliver to Secured Party such
other instruments, certificates, stock powers and other documents as are
necessary or convenient to enable Secured Party to exercise its rights under
this Agreement and otherwise carry out the intent of this Agreement. Pledgor
grants Secured Party an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest
to execute in its stead and on its behalf any such instruments, certificates,
stock powers and other documents as are needed to exercise its rights as to the
Pledged Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.

     e. Pledgor agrees that investments in the Account shall at all times be
consistent with the provisions of ss. 8.2 of the Development Agreement.

     5. Transfer of Pledged Collateral Upon Event of Default.

     In case there shall exist an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the
Secured Party may cause all or any of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred
into its name or into the name of its nominee or nominees in accordance with the
Control Agreement, and Bank and any broker or other securities intermediary
having custody or control of the Pledged Collateral shall honor any such request
from Secured Party.

     6. Events of Default; Remedies.

     (a) If any one or more of the following events (herein called "Events of
Default") shall occur:

          i.   A Manager Event of Default or Lakes Event of Default shall occur
               under the Secured Obligations; or

          ii.  Bank terminates the Control Agreement without the appointment of
               a successor securities intermediary in accordance with ss. 10
               unless the Band has refused to consent to the successor, in which
               case all property in the Account shall be deposited with the
               Clerk of the United States District Court for the Western
               District of Michigan, Southern Division, subject to


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

               the lien and security interest of the Band, and shall be subject
               to interpleader in that Court.

          iii. Pledgor violates any provision of the Control Agreement; or


          iv.  The Pledgor shall fail duly to perform, observe or comply with
               any provision of this Agreement which default is not cured within
               30 days following written notice of default, or Pledgor breaches
               any material warranty or representation made hereunder;

then, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Secured Party shall
have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Minnesota Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law and shall, in addition to such rights
and remedies, have the right, in its absolute discretion, at any time or times
thereafter to direct Bank or any other financial intermediary in accordance with
the Control Agreement to sell or transfer any and all Pledged Collateral and
deliver the proceeds thereof to Secured Party for application to the Secured
Obligations.

(b) The Secured Party will give Pledgor at least five (5) days prior written
notice by registered or certified mail at the address of the Pledgor as set
forth above (or at such other address or addresses as the Pledgor shall specify
in writing to the Secured Party from time to time) of (i) time and place of any
public sale thereof, (ii) the time after which any private sale or any other
intended disposition of Pledged Collateral is to be made, or (iii) the time
after which Secured Party may, in accordance with the Control Agreement, deliver
entitlement orders to Bank or any other Financial intermediary with regard to
the Pledged Collateral. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet the requirements
hereunder or under any applicable law (including without limitation the
Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code) that reasonable notification be given of the
time and place of any such sale or disposition. Such notice may be given without
any demand of performance or any other demand, all such demands being expressly
waived by the Pledgor. All such sales shall be at such commercially reasonable
price or prices as Secured Party shall deem fit, and for cash or for credit or
for future delivery (without Secured Party assuming any responsibility for any
credit or risk). At any such sale or sales the Secured Party may purchase any or
all of the Pledged Collateral to be sold thereat upon such terms as the Secured
Party may deem appropriate. Upon any such sale or sales of the Pledged
Collateral, said purchase shall be held by the purchaser absolutely free from
any equity of redemption or any similar rights, all such equity of redemption or
any similar rights being hereby expressly waived and released by the Pledgor. In
the event any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental agency will
be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, the Pledgor shall execute all
such applications or other instruments as may be required.

c. The proceeds of any such sale or sales, together with any other additional
collateral security at the time received and held hereunder, shall be received
and applied: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
including reasonable attorneys fees; second, to the payment of the Secured
Obligations; and any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid to the

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

Pledgor or to whomever may be legally entitled thereto.

d.   The Secured Party shall be entitled at its option after an Event
of Default to exercise the voting power with respect to the Pledged Collateral,
if applicable; to receive and retain, as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations, any and all dividends, distributions at any time and from time to
time declared or made upon any of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise any and
all rights of payment, conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Secured
Party were the absolute owner thereof, including without limitation the right to
exchange, at its discretion, any and all Pledged Collateral upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, or other readjustment of any
other issuer or maker of Pledged Collateral, or, upon the exercise of any such
right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, and, in
connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged
Collateral with any committee, depositary, agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party shall determine, or
without liability except to account for property actually received.

e.   After an Event of Default, any expenses incurred by the Secured Party in
exercising any of the foregoing rights and remedies or in the enforcement or
administration of this Security Agreement, the Control Agreement or the
Agreements, or for the protection of the Secured Party's security interest in
the Pledged Collateral, or in connection with the priority thereof, including
without limitation all taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Pledged
Collateral, and all reasonable attorney's fees, shall be payable by Pledgor,
shall be deemed advances necessary to protect the security, shall be added to
the Secured Obligations, and shall bear interest at the Band Interest Rate.

7.   Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

     No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Secured Party nor any
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured
Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Secured Obligations,
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any rights, power or privilege constitute or be deemed to constitute any such
waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided and provided under the Secured
Obligations and under the Control Agreement are cumulative and are in addition
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law, including,
without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code.

8.   Notices.

prepaid, to the following addresses:

     The Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement as well as
presentment, demand, payment, notice of dishonor or protest and all other
notices of any kind in connection with the Secured Obligations except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Control Agreement or the Agreements.

     10. Reinstatement.

     This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any amount received by the Secured Party in payment of
the Secured Obligations is rescinded or may otherwise be restored or returned
upon the insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy of the Pledgor. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect until all of the Secured Obligations are fully and indefeasibly paid
and satisfied.

     11. Resignation of Bank under Control Agreement.

     If Bank gives notice that it will terminate the Control Agreement, Pledgor
may designate a successor financial intermediary under the Control Agreement,
which designation shall be subject to Secured Party's reasonable consent.

substantially the same terms with the successor financial intermediary.

     12. Termination

     Secured Party agrees to terminate the Control Agreement and this Agreement
upon the earlier of (a) the Commencement Date, provided that a Manager Event of
Default has not occurred and is not continuing under the Agreements as of such
date; (b) termination of the Agreements in accordance with their terms, and
payment to the Band of all amounts that may be due to it on such termination; or
(c) entry of a Final Order directing such termination.

     13. Band's Waiver of Sovereign Immunity and Consent to Suit. The Band
expressly waives its sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of permitting
or compelling arbitration in disputes under or relating to this Agreement, and
consents to be sued in a Court for the purpose of compelling arbitration or
enforcing any arbitration award or judgment arising out of this Agreement;
provided that such consent is limited to enforcement of awards or judgments
relating to the Band's interest in the Account. If the United States District
Court lacks jurisdiction, the Band consents to be sued in the Michigan State
Court system for the same limited purposes. The Band waives any requirement of
exhaustion of tribal remedies. Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Band expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have
the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered
by any such court, to give effect to any judgment entered; provided,

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

however, that in no instance shall enforcement of any kind whatsoever be allowed
against any assets of the Band other than the Band's interest in the Account.

     14. Arbitration.

     All disputes under or relating to this Agreement shall be subject to
arbitration in accordance with Article 14 of the Development Agreement.

     15. Miscellaneous

     a.   This Agreement and the Account will be governed by the internal laws
          of the State of Minnesota. Bank and Lakes may not change the law
          governing the Account without Band's express written agreement.

     b.   This Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment signed by
          all the parties hereto, and no waiver of any provision hereof shall be
          effective unless expressed in a writing signed by the party to be
          charged.

     c.   The rights and remedies conferred upon the parties hereto shall be
          cumulative, and the exercise or waiver of any such right or remedy
          shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of any additional rights or
          remedies. The waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall not
          preclude the subsequent exercise of such right or remedy.

     d.   The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of
          reference only and shall have no effect on the interpretation or
          operation hereof.

     e.   This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
          which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original
          and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
          instrument.

     f.   To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, this
          Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision were
          omitted.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as a
sealed instrument as of the date first above written.
