     A. The Pawnee Nation is a federally recognized Indian tribe eligible for
the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indian
tribes, and is recognized as possessing and exercising powers of
self-government. As a tribally-chartered corporation and governmental
subdivision, Pawnee TDC is vested with the sovereign immunity of the tribe, and
has been established to control and manage the economic affairs of the Pawnee
Nation. Pawnee TDC has established Pawnee, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pawnee
TDC and tribally-chartered corporation, as the legal entity which will own and
operate certain gaming projects which are to be developed by Pawnee TDC on
behalf of the Pawnee Nation.

     B. The United States government holds lands in the State of Oklahoma in
trust for the benefit of the Pawnee Nation over which the Pawnee Nation
possesses sovereign governmental powers and the Pawnee Nation holds or intends
to acquire interests in lands which constitute "Indian lands" upon which the
Pawnee nation may legally conduct gaming under applicable federal law.

     C. In compliance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, P.L.
100-497, 25 U.S.C. Section 2701 et seq. as it may from time to time be amended,
the governing body of the Pawnee Nation has enacted a tribal ordinance
regulating the operation of gaming activities conducted on Pawnee Nation "Indian
lands" (hereinafter referred to as the "Gaming Ordinance"), creating the Pawnee
Nation Gaming Commission, and authorizing Class II and Class III gaming on its
"Indian lands" subject to the provisions of the Gaming Ordinance and a
Tribal-State Compact or gaming procedures issued by the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of the Interior.

     D. The Pawnee Nation is committed to using any gaming activities to provide
employment and improve the social, economic, education, and health needs of its
members; to increase the revenues of the tribe; and to enhance the Pawnee
Nation's economic self-sufficiency and self-determination. The Pawnee gaming
projects are expected to generate substantial revenues for the Pawnee TDC, and
therefore significantly improve the social, economic and health conditions of
present and future tribal members, while strengthening the Pawnee Nation's
overall economic self-sufficiency and self-determination.

proposed budget. The parties recognize that mutually agreeable adjustments may
be made to previously approved operating budgets from time to time during any
Fiscal Year, to reflect the impact of unforeseen circumstances, financial
constraints, or other events. Lakes agrees to keep Pawnee informed regarding any
items of revenue or expense that are reasonably anticipated to cause a material
change to the operating budget previously


                                      -21-

<PAGE>

approved by Pawnee. Lakes shall operate the Project and make expenditures in
connection therewith in accordance with such approved operating budget. In the
event Pawnee and Lakes are unable to resolve any disputed portions of the
proposed operating budget before commencement of the Fiscal Year, the undisputed
portions of the operating budget shall be deemed adopted and approved, and those
line items in dispute shall be determined by increasing the preceding Fiscal
Year's actual expense for the corresponding line items by an amount determined
by Lakes which does not exceed the increase in the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. City
Average, all items (1997-98=100), or any successor or replacement index thereto,
for the Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year with respect to which adjustment to
the line item(s) is being calculated. The resulting adjusted operating budget
shall be deemed to be in effect for that Fiscal Year until such time as Pawnee
and Lakes have resolved the disputed items.

          (c) Lakes shall prepare an annual capital expenditure budget and
submit such budget to Pawnee for approval by Pawnee prior to the Commencement
Date. Annual capital expenditure budgets shall be submitted by Lakes to Pawnee
thereafter by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each
succeeding Fiscal Year. The proposed capital expenditure budgets shall be
subject to approval or disapproval within thirty (30) days of submission to
Pawnee for approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Pawnee may
approve or disapprove of any item on such proposed budget. The parties recognize
that mutually agreeable adjustments may be made to previously approved capital
expenditure budgets from time to time during any budget year, to reflect the
impact of unforeseen circumstances, financial constraints, or other events.
Lakes agrees to keep Pawnee informed and obtain Pawnee's approval regarding any
projects or expenditures that are reasonably anticipated to cause a material
change to the capital expenditure budget previously approved by Pawnee. Lakes
shall make capital expenditures in accordance with such approved capital
expenditure budget.

     5.2 Intentionally omitted.

     5.3 Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments.

          (a) During the term of this Management Agreement, provided that the
Commencement Date has occurred, the Project shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 5.3(b) below, pay Pawnee One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per
month (the "Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment"), beginning on the Commencement
Date and continuing for the remainder of the term of the Management Agreement.
The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall be payable to Pawnee in arrears on
the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month following the month in which the
Commencement Date occurs, which payment shall have priority over the Operating
Note, any obligations to repay funding provided by any third party lender in
connection with financing the development, construction equipping of the Project
Facilities, and payment of Lakes' compensation. If the Commencement Date is a
date other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment will be
prorated from the Commencement Date to the end of the month. The Minimum
Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall be prorated if gaming is conducted at the


                                      -22-

<PAGE>

Gaming Facility for any other partial months.

          (b) Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments shall be deducted from any
disbursements of Net Total Revenues received by Pawnee under Section 5.5 hereof
in any given month; provided, however, that if the Net Total Revenues in a given
month are less than $100,000, Lakes shall advance the funds necessary to
compensate for the deficiency from its own funds (the "Minimum Guaranteed
Payment Advances", which advances shall not accrue interest but shall be
evidenced by an Operating Note in a form agreed to by Pawnee and Lakes), and
provided further that the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments shall be reduced
to $10,000 per month for the remaining months in a Fiscal Year after Pawnee has
received in such Fiscal Year Total Net Revenue distributions of $1,200,000.
Lakes shall be entitled to recoup any Minimum Guaranteed Payment Advances made
under this subsection from the Net Total Revenues of the Project in succeeding
months during the term hereof, as provided in Section 5.5 hereof (and any
amounts outstanding on account of Minimum Guaranteed Payment Advances at the end
of the term of this Management Agreement shall be immediately due and payable by
Pawnee). In no event shall this recoupment payment for Minimum Guaranteed
Payment Advances result in Pawnee receiving less than its Minimum Guaranteed
Monthly Payment in any month, and in no event shall Lakes be allowed or entitled
to interest on any Minimum Guaranteed Payment Advances. Minimum Guaranteed
Monthly Payments shall be prorated with respect to any months (or portions
thereof) that Class II Gaming or Class III Gaming is suspended or terminated at
the Gaming Facility, and no Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments shall be
required with respect to any months that no Class II Gaming or Class III Gaming
is conducted at the Gaming Facility or accrue subsequent to termination of this
Management Agreement.

          (c) Any obligations owing by Pawnee under the Operating Note shall be
repaid solely as a Limited Recourse obligation of Pawnee without any other
liability or guarantee on the part of Pawnee. Except for the Minimum Guaranteed
Monthly Payment to Pawnee, repayment of the Operating Note obligations shall
have first priority on any Net Gaming and Net Ancillary Revenues generated by
the Project. Pawnee agrees to grant to Lakes a first priority and perfected
security interest, including a Dominion Account arrangement pursuant to the
Dominion Account Agreement (in a form consistent with the terms of this
Management Agreement), on any Net Gaming and Net Ancillary Revenues of the
Project in order to secure repayment of the Operating Note, and such Operating
Note shall also be secured on a first priority and perfected basis by any
Furnishings and Equipment pursuant to the Security Agreement and by first
priority liens in the additional recourse assets described in the definition of
"Limited Recourse."

     5.4 Daily and Monthly Statements. Lakes shall furnish to Pawnee's
designated representative financial statements identifying for each day the
Gross Gaming Revenues attributable to the Enterprise's Class II and/or Class III
Gaming on each day that such reports are normally available. Within fifteen (15)
days after the end of each calendar month, Lakes shall provide verifiable
financial statements in accordance with GAAP to Pawnee and the Gaming Commission
covering the preceding month's operations of the Enterprise, including operating
statements, balance sheets, income statements and statements reflecting the
amounts computed to be distributed in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.

     5.5 Distribution of Net Total Revenues.

          (a) All Net Total Revenues shall be disbursed on a monthly basis as
set forth below, paid on the twentieth day of each calendar month for the
preceding month. Such Net Total Revenues shall be disbursed from the Project
Bank Account(s) to the extent available for payment of the following accounts in
the following order of priority:

          (i)  The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment described in Section 5.3
               hereof;

          (ii) All outstanding Minimum Guaranteed Payment Advances and Working
               Capital Advances (and accrued interest thereon) or any other
               amounts owing to Lakes under the Operating Note;

          (iii) Current principal, interest and any other payments due on any
               obligations to repay funding provided by any third party lender
               in connection with financing the development, construction, and
               equipping of the Project Facilities,

          (iv) Management compensation due Lakes under Section 5.5(b) below;
               provide that if the distribution under this subsection in any
               month is insufficient to fund such payment in full, the unpaid
               amount shall be deferred and paid under subsection (vi) below;

          (v)  Any amounts deferred (including interest on any deferred
               management compensation which interest shall accrue, from the
               date the management compensation is deferred, at the greater of
               the prime interest rate of Chase Manhattan Bank U.S.A., N.A. (or
               any successor bank) plus two percent (2%) or the same rate for
               the financing provided by any third party lender for the
               development, construction and equipping of the Project
               Facilities) under subsections (ii), (iii), (and (iv) above;

          (vi) Any monthly capital replacement or other reserve contributions
               which have been created with the written approval of the Lakes
               and Pawnee;

          (vii) Any indemnification or other obligations then owing by Pawnee to
               Lakes under any Transaction Document and not paid as Costs of
               Gaming Operations or Costs of Ancillary Operations (provided
               Lakes has provided written notice to Pawnee that above amounts
               are owed under the Transaction Documents, and Pawnee has not
               disputed the same or such amounts have been determined to be
               owing through an arbitration proceeding under Article 10 hereof);
               and


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

          (viii) All remaining Net Total Revenues shall be disbursed to Pawnee
               at the same time the management compensation is paid to Lakes,
               subject to the rights of the Lakes under the Dominion Account
               Agreement upon the occurrence of a Material Breach by Pawnee or
               pursuant to the terms of the Operating Note.

          (b) As compensation for Lakes' management services hereunder, (i) in
the event that this Management Agreement is approved by the NIGC before Class II
and/or Class III gaming operations are first conducted at the Project's Gaming
Facility, Lakes shall receive thirty percent (30%) of Net Total Revenues for the
prior calendar month less any amounts earned by and due to a Lakes' Affiliate
for any development fees in connection with the Project, and (ii) in the event
that this Management Agreement is approved by the NIGC after Class II and/or
Class III gaming operations are first conducted at the Project's Gaming
Facility, Lakes shall receive thirty percent (30%) of Net Total Revenues for the
prior calendar month less any amounts due to a Lakes' Affiliate for any
consulting fees earned that month in connection with the Project under any
contract between Pawnee and the Lakes Affiliate still in effect at that time,
for so long as this Management Agreement shall remain in effect during the term
hereof and as provided for in this Management Agreement. Any amounts owing to
Lakes hereunder shall be Limited Recourse obligations of the Tribe and shall be
subject to the security provisions described in Section 5.3(c) hereof, including
the Dominion Account Agreement and Security Agreement.

          (c) Lakes, on behalf of the Project, is responsible for making the Net
Total Revenues disbursements to the appropriate party.

     5.6 Annual Audit. With respect to each Fiscal Year, Pawnee shall cause an
audit to be conducted by an independent certified public accountant from a Big
Five accounting firm with more than five (5) years experience in audits of
gaming resort operations selected and approved by Pawnee, and on or before one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of such year, such accounting firm shall
issue a report with financial statements in accordance with GAAP with respect to
the preceding Fiscal Year (or portion of the year in the case of the first year)
operations of the Project, including operating statements, balance sheets,
income statements and statements reflecting the amounts computed to be
distributed in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof, such report to be approved at
an annual meeting to be held at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
In addition, upon termination of this Management Agreement in accordance with
its terms, such accounting firm shall conduct an audit, and on or before ninety
(90) days after the termination date, shall issue a report setting forth the
same information as is required in the annual report, in each case with respect
to the portion of the Fiscal Year ending on the termination date. If the Net
Total Revenues or other amounts paid to Pawnee or Lakes in accordance with
Section 5.5 above for the relevant period are different from the amount which
should have been paid to such party based on the report prepared by the
accounting firm and based upon the provisions of this Management Agreement, then
to the extent either party received an overpayment, it shall repay and deposit
the amount of such overpayment into the bank account referenced in Section 2.8
(a) hereof within


                                      -25-

<PAGE>

twenty-five (25) days of the receipt by such party of the accountant's report,
and to the extent either party received an underpayment, it shall receive a
distribution from the bank account referenced in Section 2.8 (a) hereof of the
amount of such underpayment within ten (10) days of the receipt by such party of
the accountant's report. Lakes may make adjustment to future payments to correct
a discrepancy if required distributions are not made.

     5.7 Advances for Working Capital. Where amounts in bank accounts
established pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof are insufficient to meet Costs of
Gaming Operation or Costs of Ancillary Operation, during the first six (6)
months after the Commencement Date, Lakes shall advance monies to the Project
sufficient to meet Costs of Gaming Operations and Costs of Ancillary Operations.
Thereafter, Pawnee shall advance such monies to the Project sufficient to meet
Costs of Gaming Operations and Costs of Ancillary Operations. If Lakes makes any
advances hereunder ("Working Capital Advances", which advances shall be
evidenced by an Operating Note substantially in a form to be agreed to by Pawnee
and Lakes and shall accrue interest, from the date the advances are made, at the
greater of the prime interest rate of Chase Manhattan Bank U.S.A., N.A. (or any
successor bank) plus two percent (2%) or the same rate for the financing
provided by any third party lender for the development, construction and
equipping of the Project Facilities), Lakes shall be repaid as provided in
Section 5.5 hereof (and any amounts outstanding on account of Working Capital
Advances at the end of the term of this Management Agreement shall be
immediately due and payable by Pawnee). Any Working Capital Advances shall be
Limited Recourse obligations of Pawnee and shall be subject to the security
provisions described in Section 5.3(c) hereof, including the Dominion Account
Agreement and Security Agreement. Any advances made by Pawnee hereunder shall
accrue interest at the same rate as applies to Working Capital Advances made by
Lakes.

     5.8 Development and Construction Cost Repayment. The maximum dollar amount
for repayment of development and construction costs for the Project Facilities
shall be Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000). Subject to any applicable
Legal Requirements, the parties may increase the maximum repayment amount by
mutual written agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                           TERMINATION/MATERIAL BREACH

     6.1 Termination for Cause. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, either
party may terminate this Management Agreement if the other party commits or
allows to be committed a Material Breach (as hereinafter defined) of this
Management Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar
days after receipt of a written notice from the non-breaching party identifying
the nature of the Material Breach in specific detail and its intention to
terminate this Management Agreement; provided, however, that if the nature of
such breach (but specifically excluding breaches curable by the payment of
money) is such that it is not possible to cure such breach within thirty (30)
days, such thirty-day period shall be extended for so long as the breaching
party shall be using diligent efforts to effect a cure thereof but no more than
an additional sixty (60)


                                      -26-

<PAGE>

days, and provided further that Lakes shall not be entitled to an extension of
such thirty-day cure period in the event of theft, embezzlement or willful
misconduct with respect to the handling of money or other property. Termination
is not an exclusive remedy for claims of a Material Breach, and the parties
shall be entitled to other rights and remedies as may be available pursuant to
the terms hereof or under applicable law. For purposes of this Management
Agreement, a "Material Breach" is any of the following circumstances: (i)
failure of Lakes to provide Pawnee with the monthly Minimum Guaranteed Monthly
Payments pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, unless suspended pursuant to the terms
of Sections 5.3(b) or 6.4(a) hereof; (ii) material failure of either party to
perform a material obligation hereunder, or any document or agreement related
hereto for reasons not excused under Section 9.6 hereof (Force Majeure); (iii)
if any of Lakes' 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 10, Lakes does not remove such
employee from connection with Class II and/or Class III Gaming operations of the
Project; (iv) default under this Management Agreement or the Operating Note, or
any document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and any default by either
Pawnee TDC or the Pawnee Nation under that certain Tribal Agreement dated
January 12, 2005executed by such parties in favor of Lakes; or (v) any
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 9.11 or 9.12 hereof proves
to be knowingly false or erroneous in any material way when made or shall fail
to be true and correct in all material respect at any time during the term of
this Management Agreement. Any final notice of termination hereunder shall be in
writing detailing the reason the party considers the Material Breach not to be
cured and must be delivered to the other party before such termination becomes
effective.

     6.2 Mutual Consent. This Management Agreement may be terminated at any time
upon the mutual written consent and approval of the parties.

     6.3 Involuntary Termination Due to Changes in Law or Tribal-State Compact.
The parties hereby agree to use their best efforts to conduct Class II and/or
Class III Gaming activities in accordance with this Management Agreement and to
ensure that such activities and this Management Agreement conform to and comply
with all applicable laws and a Tribal-State Compact. Pawnee agrees that, except
as may be required by federal law, neither Pawnee, Pawnee TDC nor Pawnee Nation
will enact or pass any new ordinances subsequent to the execution of this
Management Agreement that would materially impair the rights of Lakes under this
Management Agreement. Pawnee covenants and affirmatively states that neither
Pawnee, Pawnee TDC nor Pawnee Nation has or will impose any tax, fee or
assessment on Lakes, the Project or its Project Facilities, this Management
Agreement, the Operating Note and any related security documents and instruments
described herein other than the fees and assessments described in "Costs of
Gaming Operation." In the event of any change in state or federal laws that
results in a final determination by the Secretary, the National Indian Gaming
Commission, or a court of competent jurisdiction that this Management Agreement
is unlawful, Pawnee and Lakes shall use their respective good faith best efforts
to amend this Management Agreement in a mutually satisfactory manner which will
comply with the change in applicable laws and not materially change the rights,
duties and obligations of the parties hereunder. In the event such amendment can
not be legally effected following exhaustion of all such good faith best efforts
(including the lapse of all legal proceedings and appeal periods without
favorable results) performance of this Management Agreement shall be


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

automatically suspended effective upon the date that performance of this
Management Agreement becomes unlawful by such final determination, and either
party shall have the right to terminate such suspended Management Agreement
(except the Notes and Security Provisions, as defined in Section 6.4 (b)) upon
written notice to the other party.

     6.4 Other Rights upon Material Breach; Ownership of Assets and Repayment of
Obligations on Termination.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of any Material Breach or upon the occurrence
of any event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both would constitute a Material Breach, Lakes may suspend its
obligation to make any Minimum Guaranteed Payment Advances, until such time as
the default has been cured. Upon the occurrence of any Material Breach, Lakes
may suspend its obligation to make any Working Capital Advances until such time
as the Material Breach has been cured.

          (b) Upon termination, except in connection with Lakes' security
interests in the Net Total Revenues of the Project pursuant to Pawnee's Limited
Recourse obligations under the Transaction Documents (if not yet satisfied), or
any other security interests or liens in any Furnishings and Equipment and other
collateral described in the Transaction Documents, Pawnee will retain full
ownership of the Project Facilities, Plans and Specifications therefor, and the
Project and its assets; and Lakes will have no rights to the Project and its
assets or the Project Facilities (or any equipment, books and records, materials
or furnishings therein that were purchased with Costs of Gaming Operations or
Costs of Ancillary Operations) except as to the security interests and liens
recited above or as may be established otherwise by a proceeding pursuant to
Article 10 hereof. In the event of any termination (whether voluntary or
involuntary), Pawnee shall continue to have the obligation to pay unpaid
principal and interest and other amounts due under this Management Agreement,
the Operating Note or any Transaction Document executed in connection herewith,
together with any unpaid compensation owed to Lakes under Section 5.5(b) hereof
(if not yet satisfied), each of which shall become due and payable on such
termination date. Any and all obligations and provisions contained in this
Management Agreement concerning indemnity obligations or repayment of the
Operating Note, and the security therefore, including the Security Agreement and
Dominion Account Agreement, together with any unpaid compensation owed to Lakes
under Section 5.5(b) hereof and any other amounts owing to Lakes under this
Management Agreement or any other Transaction Documents and the terms and
provisions set forth in Articles 9 and 10 hereof excluding Sections 9.21 and
9.22 (collectively, the "Notes and Security Provisions"), shall survive
termination of this Management Agreement. In the event of termination for any
reason, and subject to its rights under the dispute resolution provisions under
Article 10 herein, Lakes shall cooperate with Pawnee in the orderly transition
of management of the Project, and shall provide Pawnee or its designee with any
and all books, records, documents, contracts, and all other information relating
to the Project Facilities or the Project, whether such information shall be in
electronic, hard copy or any other form. If at the time of termination Pawnee's
obligations under the Transaction Documents remain unsatisfied in full, then
Pawnee may either pay the obligations in full, or to the extent economically
feasible (as hereinafter defined), Pawnee agrees to continue to operate and
maintain the Project Facilities in accordance with reasonable industry
standards, and as


                                      -28-

<PAGE>

to any portions of the Project Facilities that are no longer economically
feasible to operate, Pawnee and the Lakes shall conduct an orderly liquidation
of such assets and any liquidation proceeds (net of reasonable sale costs) shall
be deposited into the Dominion Account and disbursed in accordance with the same
terms and provisions applicable to Gross Total Revenues, provided however that
such liquidation proceeds shall be excluded from Net Total Revenues for purposes
of calculating the management compensation of any Replacement whether under
Section 5.5(b) hereof or otherwise; and Pawnee shall keep the Project Facilities
and all related assets insured for the coverages and amounts required by this
Management Agreement and name Lakes as an additional insured, loss payee and
mortgagee, as applicable and provide evidence thereof upon request until all
amounts owing to Lakes have been paid in full, and if any portion of the Project
assets are damaged by any casualty and it is economically feasible for Pawnee to
continue to operate such damaged assets, then Pawnee shall repair and
reconstruct such operations that were damaged and are to be continued, and any
excess insurance proceeds that are not used to repair and reconstruct the
applicable damaged Project assets shall be deposited into the Dominion Account
and disbursed in accordance with the same terms and provisions applicable to
Gross Total Revenues, provided however that such excess proceeds shall be
excluded from Net Total Revenues for purposes of calculating the management
compensation of any Replacement whether under Section 5.5(b) hereof or
otherwise. As used herein and in Section 6.6(d) hereof, the term "economically
feasible" shall mean that the gross revenues derived from any applicable
operations is in excess of that needed to pay the Costs of Gaming Operations or
Costs of Ancillary Operations, as applicable to the operations in question.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, in the event of
termination of this Management Agreement for any reason prior to the full
repayment to Lakes of any amounts owed to it by Pawnee under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation, the Operating Note, Pawnee shall, as
promptly as reasonably possible, appoint a person or entity qualified to manage
the Project Facilities and operate the Project (the "Replacement") and use its
best efforts to obtain approvals of all required Governmental Authorities for
such Replacement, provided the obligation to continue to operate under Section
6.4(b) exists. Pawnee agrees to keep full and accurate financial records of
operations of the Project by such Replacement and to allow Lakes to audit such
records at reasonable times prior to full repayment to Lakes of any amounts owed
to it by Pawnee under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation,
the Operating Note, and that Pawnee's compliance with this paragraph shall not
preclude the Lakes from exercising any of its other rights and remedies
hereunder or any document or agreement related hereto, including, without
limitation, rights under the Operating Note and the Dominion Account Agreement.

     6.5 Notice of Termination. In the event of a proposed termination pursuant
to this Article, Pawnee shall provide notice of the termination to the NIGC or
other appropriate Governmental Authorities within ten (10) days after the
termination.

     6.6 Cessation of either Class II or Class III Gaming at the Gaming
Facility.

          (a) If, during the term of this Management Agreement, either Class II
or Class III Gaming (once legally permitted at the Gaming Facility) cannot be
lawfully conducted at the


                                      -29-

<PAGE>

Gaming Facility by reason of the application of any legislation or court or
administrative agency order or decree adopted or issued by a governmental entity
having the authority to do so, Lakes shall, within sixty (60) days after such
legislation, order or decree becomes effective, elect to:

               (i) retain Lakes' interest in this Management Agreement and
          suspend both Class II and Class III Gaming operations until such date
          on which both Class II and Class III Gaming at the Gaming Facility
          becomes lawful (during which period the term of the Management
          Agreement will be tolled until both Class II and Class III Gaming at
          the Gaming Facility becomes lawful or the parties mutually agreed
          otherwise, and the period of cessation shall not be deemed to have
          been part of the term of the Management Agreement and the term shall
          be extended by the length of time of the cessation); or

               (ii) retain Lakes' interest in this Management Agreement, suspend
          Class II and Class III gaming operations until such date on which both
          Class II and Class III Gaming at the Gaming Facility becomes lawful
          (during which period the term of the Management Agreement will be
          tolled until Class III Gaming at the Gaming Facility becomes lawful or
          the parties mutually agreed otherwise, and the period of cessation
          shall not be deemed to have been part of the term of the Management
          Agreement and the term shall be extended by the length of time of the
          cessation), and with the prior approval of Pawnee, which approval
          shall not be unreasonably withheld, use the Gaming Facility for any
          other lawful purpose pursuant to a use agreement containing terms
          reasonably acceptable to Lakes and Pawnee; or

               (iii) terminate both Class II and Class III Gaming operations and
          terminate this Management Agreement.

          Lakes shall give Pawnee written notice of Lakes' election within such
     sixty-day period.

          (b) If Lakes elects to retain its interest in this Management
Agreement under Section 6.6 (a)(i) or (ii) above, Lakes shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to commence either Class II or Class III Gaming
operations within sixty (60) days after the date on which both Class II and
Class III Gaming becomes lawful. Lakes may exercise such right by giving Pawnee
written notice of such exercise within thirty (30) days after the date on which
both Class II and Class III Gaming becomes lawful. Any reasonable payment to any
third party made during the period during which either Class II or Class III
Gaming is unlawful to preserve or eliminate any leasehold or purchase contract
rights of the Gaming Facility shall be paid by Lakes from Project funds after
mutual approval of Pawnee and Lakes as Costs of Gaming Operation or Cost of
Ancillary Operations, as applicable, and reimbursed after both Class II and
Class III Gaming is recommenced.

          (c) If, during the term of this Management Agreement, the Gaming
Facility is damaged by casualty or other occurrence to the extent, as reasonably
determined by Lakes, that either Class II or Class III Gaming cannot be
conducted at the Gaming Facility, Lakes shall elect

          repair or reconstruction of the Gaming Facility, suspend all gaming
          operations pending the repair or reconstruction of the Gaming Facility
          (during which period the term of the Management Agreement will be
          tolled until Class III Gaming can be conducted at the Gaming Facility
          or the parties mutually agreed otherwise, and the period of cessation
          shall not be deemed to have been part of the term of the Management
          Agreement and the term shall be extended by the length of time of the
          cessation), and arrange for such repair or reconstruction in the
          manner described in this Section 6.6; or

               (ii) terminate this Management Agreement, such termination to be
          effective on the sixtieth (60th) day after written notice of
          termination shall have been delivered to Pawnee.

          Lakes shall give Pawnee written notice of Lakes' election under
subsection within sixty (60) days after such casualty or occurrence.

          (d) If Lakes elects to retain its interest in this Management
Agreement under Section 6.6(c)(i) above, Pawnee shall be obligated to make such
repairs or reconstruction as the Lakes shall reasonably determine should be made
to the Project Facilities (to the extent that insurance proceeds are available
or as otherwise mutually agreed by Pawnee and Lakes), and Lakes shall promptly
verify the amount of insurance proceeds available to pay the cost of repair or
reconstruction. If the Lakes elects to retain its interests under Section
6.6(c)(i) above, Lakes is hereby granted the authority to submit, adjust and
settle, on behalf of Pawnee, all insurance claims associated with the casualty
or occurrence; provided, however, that Lakes shall obtain Pawnee's prior written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any settlement.
Lakes shall provide copies of all settlement documents to Pawnee. If the Lakes
does not elect to retain its interest under Section 6.6(c)(i) above and if
Pawnee's obligations under the Transaction Documents are not yet satisfied,
then: (a) Pawnee shall have the authority to submit, adjust and settle all
insurance claims provided that any final settlement shall be with the prior
written consent of Lakes which will not be unreasonably withheld, and Pawnee
shall provide copies of all settlement documents to the Lakes; (b) to the extent
economically feasible (as defined in Section 6.4(b), Pawnee shall have the
obligation to continue to operate and maintain the Project Facilities and
Project in accordance with reasonable industry standards, and as to any portions
of the project Facilities and the Enterprise that are no longer economically
feasible to operate, Pawnee and the Lakes shall conduct an orderly liquidation
of such assets and any liquidation proceeds (net of reasonable sale costs) shall
be deposited into the Dominion Account and disbursed in accordance with the same
terms and provisions applicable to Gross Total Revenues, provided however that
such liquidation proceeds shall be excluded from Net Total Revenues for purposes
of calculating the management compensation of any Replacement whether under
Section 5.5(b) hereof or otherwise; (c) Pawnee shall repair and reconstruct such
operations that were damaged and are to be continued; and (d) any excess
insurance proceeds that are not used to repair and reconstruct the applicable
damaged Project

assets shall be deposited into the Dominion Account and disbursed in accordance
with the same terms and provisions applicable to Gross Total Revenues, provided
however that such excess proceeds shall be excluded from Net Total Revenues for
purposes of calculating the management compensation of any Replacement whether
under Section 5.5(b) hereof or otherwise.

          (e) If Lakes elects to terminate this Management Agreement under this
Section 6.6, the provisions of Section 6.4 above shall apply.

     6.7 Renewal Option.

          The parties by mutual agreement may decide to renew or extend the
Management Agreement of this Management Agreement. Any such renewal or extension
shall only become effective upon approval by the NIGC and appropriate licensing
by the Gaming Commission.

     6.8 Buy-out Option.

          Following thirty-six (36) months of continuous operation of the
Project's gaming operations by Lakes, Pawnee shall have the option to buy out
the Lakes' remaining rights under this Management Agreement for an amount equal
to the present value, using a discount rate which is the greater of (i) two
percent (2%) above the prime interest rate of Chase Manhattan Bank U.S.A., N.A.
(or any successor bank) or (ii) or the same rate for the financing provided by
any third party lender for the development, construction and equipping of the
Project Facilities of the Remaining Management Fees (as hereinafter defined).
The term "Remaining Management Fees" shall mean the total monthly compensation
which would have been payable to Lakes under Section 5.5(b) hereof for the
balance of the term of this Agreement, assuming that such monthly compensation
would be the average of the compensation paid to Lakes during the most recent
operating twelve months prior to such buy out. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Pawnee buy-out option rights may only be exercised after the first four years of
the Project's gaming operation if the final cost of developing the Project
Facilities exceeds twenty six million dollars ($26,000,000).

     6.9 Cumulative Remedies.

          All rights or remedies of either Pawnee or Lakes under this Management
Agreement or any other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly in any order or concurrently, at such party's respective
option, and the exerciser or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall
neither be a condition to nor bar to the exercise or enforcement of any other
right or remedy.

     9.10 Sovereign Immunity. Except for the Resolution of Limited Waiver

the other Transaction Documents, if required, or declare that such approval is
not required.

     9.20 Non-disclosure. The parties agree not to divulge to third parties the
terms of this Management Agreement or any other proprietary or confidential
information exchanged between the parties pursuant to this Management Agreement,
unless (i) the information is required to be disclosed pursuant to judicial
order or Legal Requirements, (ii) the information is at the time of disclosure
already in the public domain, or (iii) to the extent required in order to obtain
financing. This prohibition shall not apply to disclosures by either party to

     9.21 Other Business Opportunities. During the term of this Management
Agreement, or until Lakes is repaid in full on the Operating Note, whichever is
later, Pawnee agrees that, subject to all Legal Requirements, Pawnee may pursue
other commercial, gaming and economic development opportunities in the State;
provided it grants to Lakes the right of first refusal to participate with
Pawnee upon the terms and conditions proposed by Pawnee, with prompt response by
Lakes required, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice
from Pawnee. In the event that Lakes declines to participate with Pawnee upon
such terms and conditions, Pawnee shall have the right to pursue such
opportunity but may not offer to an unrelated third party terms and conditions
more favorable than those offered to Lakes. If Pawnee does not enter into a
signed agreement with such unrelated third party regarding the other commercial,
gaming and economic development opportunity which has been declined by Lakes
within one (1) year of such declination, then Lakes' right of first refusal
granted herein is reinstated for that opportunity.

     9.22 Use of Trade Marks and Trade Names. To assure that Pawnee can continue
operation of the Project Facilities without disruption in the event that this
Management Agreement is terminated or not renewed, Lakes agrees that it will not
use any trade mark or trade name to identify any portion of the Project
Facilities or services offered within the Project Facilities unless such trade
mark or trade name is registered in the name of Pawnee.

     9.23 Recitals. The recitals at the beginning of this Management Agreement
are true and are incorporated by reference herein.

     9.24 Non-Competition. Lakes agrees that, during the term of this Management
Agreement, it will not finance, manage, or consult in connection with any
facility where Gaming Operations are or will be conducted within a radius of
twenty-five (25) miles from the Gaming Facility Site without the prior written
consent of Pawnee. Pawnee agrees that, during the term of this Management
Agreement, neither it nor its Affiliates will solicit or enter into any
negotiations or agreements with any person or company with respect to any Gaming
Operations to be conducted within twenty-five (25) miles of the Gaming Facility
Site, nor conduct any Gaming Operations within twenty-five (25) miles of the
Gaming Facility Site, without the prior written consent of Lakes.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     10.1 Disputes Between the Enterprise and Patrons. Disputes that arise

<PAGE>

develop an employee dispute resolution policy, and Lakes, as agent of Pawnee,
shall ensure that the Project's general manager shall implement and administer
the employee dispute resolution policy after its adoption.

     10.3 Disputes Between Pawnee and Lakes. Disputes between Pawnee and Lakes
with respect to this Management Agreement, the Operating Note, or any other
Transaction Documents, or a party's performance hereunder or thereunder, shall
be resolved by the following dispute resolution process and pursuant to the
Resolution of Limited Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     (a) The parties shall use their best efforts to settle the dispute. To this
effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and,
recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable
solution satisfactory to both parties.

     (b) If the parties do not reach such solution within a period of ten (10)
days, then, upon notice by either party to the other, all disputes shall be
settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at
the time of submission; except that: (a) the question whether or not a dispute
is arbitrable shall be a matter for binding arbitration by the arbitrators, such
question shall not be determined by any court and, in determining any such
question, all doubts shall be resolved in favor of arbitrability; and (b)
discovery shall be permitted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, subject to supervision as to scope and appropriateness by the
arbitrators. Unless the parties otherwise agree to in writing, arbitration
proceedings shall be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

     (c) The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before a panel of three
neutral arbitrators, all of whom shall be currently licensed attorneys, actively
engaged in the practice of law for at least ten (10) years, one of which shall
have five (5) years of experience in federal Indian law, and one of which shall
have five (5) years of experience in the gaming industry. The arbitrator
selected by the claimant and the arbitrator selected by respondent shall, within
ten (10) days of their appointment, select a third neutral arbitrator. In the
event that they are unable to do so, the parties or their attorneys may request
the American Arbitration Association to appoint the third neutral arbitrator.
Prior to the commencement of hearings, each of the arbitrators appointed shall
provide an oath or undertaking of impartiality. Pawnee further agrees that any
arbitration proceeding held in connection with any dispute with respect to the
this Management Agreement, the Operating Note, or any other Transaction Document
may be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving Lakes or its
Affiliates and any of Pawnee's Affiliates.

     (d) The arbitration award shall be in writing signed by each of the
arbitrators, and shall state the basis for the award. The arbitration award
shall be set forth in reasonable detail as to its findings of fact and law, and
basis of determination of award form and amount. In connection with any
arbitration award, the arbitrators shall be empowered to take the actions and
enforce the judicial remedies described in Paragraph 5 of the Resolution of
Limited Waiver; provided however, that although the arbitrators may award
damages in the event Pawnee or the Gaming Commission do not to comply with the
award, the arbitrators may not require Pawnee or the Gaming Commission


                                      -42-

<PAGE>

to take or modify any governmental legislative decision or action which the
arbitrators have determined has resulted in the dispute between the parties and
is contrary to the parties rights, liabilities or obligations under this
Management Agreement, the Operating Note, or any other Transaction Document
("Specific Performance Restriction"). Provided further, that: (a) should the
arbitrators determine that there has been an intentional bad faith violation of
a party's rights under this Management Agreement or any other Transaction
Documents by Pawnee or Gaming Commission, and if Pawnee or the Gaming Commission
do not reverse such intentional bad faith violation through governmental
legislative decision or action within thirty (30) days after the being notified
by the arbitrators of such determination, then the arbitrators shall award
one-and-half (1 1/2 ) times damages to Lakes for damages suffered as a
consequence of Pawnee's or Gaming Commission's intentional bad faith violation;
and (b) such Specific Performance Restriction shall not prevent Lakes from
enforcing the Operating Note, the Security Agreement, the Dominion Account
Agreement, nor from realizing on collateral encumbered thereby.

     (e) Except to the extent such enforcement will be inconsistent with a
specific provision of this Agreement, arbitration awards made pursuant to this
Article 10 shall be enforceable in federal court under Title 9 of the United
States Code and any applicable tribal, federal or state law governing the
enforcement of arbitration awards. In addition to any basis for appeal of an
arbitration award stated in Title 9 of the United States Code or any applicable
law governing the enforcement of arbitration awards, either party hereto may
appeal an arbitration award on the basis that the arbitrator or arbitrators
incorrectly decided a question of law in making the award, or the award was made
in an arbitrary or capricious manner or in manifest disregard of the factual
evidence.

     (f) Either party hereto, without having to exhaust any tribal remedies
first, shall have the right to seek and obtain a court order from a court having
jurisdiction over the parties requiring that the circumstances specified in the
order be maintained pending completion of the arbitration proceedings, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

     (g) Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction over the parties. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award
punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or any damages excluded by or in
excess of any damage limitations expressed in this Agreement.

     (h) Pawnee hereby expressly waives, and also waives its right to assert,
sovereign immunity and any and all defenses based thereon with respect to
Claims; and Pawnee hereby consent to (i) binding arbitration under the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and (ii)
judicial proceedings in or before the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Oklahoma, or if that court determines it is without
jurisdiction, then to the courts of the State of Oklahoma and all courts to
which an appeal therefrom may be available, but solely to compel, enforce,
modify or vacate any arbitration award.

     (i) To the extent lawful in connection with any such dispute, Pawnee
expressly waives the application of the doctrines of exhaustion of tribal
remedies or comity that might otherwise require that a claim be heard first in
tribal court or other tribal forum of Pawnee Nation.

     (j) The parties agree that: (1) in the event that a dispute submitted to
arbitration under this section involves the right of Lakes to continue to
receive compensation under Section 5.5 hereof, or (2) in the event that Lakes
appeals an agency decision under Section 8.2 for removal/divestiture, then any
compensation which is asserted to be due to Lakes during such dispute shall, if
not paid to Lakes, be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account with the
entity that is designated as the "Depository" under the Dominion Account
Agreement and Lakes shall be granted a security interest in said escrow account
which interest is contingent, as follows: such escrow funds shall be released to
Lakes upon an arbitration award being issued in its favor or on the date the
agency action under Section 8.2 is reversed by agency administrative or judicial
appeal; provided that upon final conclusion of such arbitration or agency
administrative or judicial appeal, any portion of such escrowed funds not
expressly awarded to Lakes shall be immediately released unconditionally to
Pawnee.
