                                 IOWA CORP NOTE
                                (CIMARRON CASINO)

                                                                  Minnetonka, MN
                                                                January 27, 2005

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IOWA TRIBE OF OKLAHOMA ("MAKER"), A FEDERALLY-CHARTERED
CORPORATION , CREATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3 OF THE OKLAHOMA INDIAN WELFARE ACT
OF JUNE 26, 1936 (49 STAT. 1967), UNDER A FEDERAL CHARTER ISSUED TO THE IOWA
TRIBE OF OKLAHOMA ("IOWA TRIBE"), A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED INDIAN TRIBE, promises
to pay to the order of LAKES IOWA CONSULTING, LLC, A MINNESOTA LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY ("LENDER"), in the United States of America, in immediately available
funds, at such place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate, or in
the absence of such designation, at the office of the Lender, 130 Cheshire Lane,
Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
advances made to Maker pursuant to the "Business Improvements Loan" as set forth
in Article 3 of the Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement for the Cimarron
Casino located in Perkins, Oklahoma dated January 27, 2005 between the parties
for the Cimarron Casino (the "Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement"), plus
interest thereon from the date of such advances, in like money, in accordance
with the following terms and provisions:

     1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have
the meanings given them in the Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement.

     2. Advances. Pursuant to the Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement, Lender
has agreed to extend the Business Improvements Loan to Maker, such funds to be
loaned in more than one advances (each, an "Advance") as entered on the Schedule
of Advances attached hereto as Schedule A. Each Advance shall bear interest at
the Interest Rate, as described herein, from and including the date the proceeds
of such Advance are advanced (such date the "Funding Date" of such Advance)
through the date of payment.

     3. Repayment; Limited Recourse Obligations. The obligation of Maker to
repay the funds advanced shall be limited to the Collateral as described in the
Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement. Commencing on the twenty-fifth (25th)
day following twelve (12) months after the date the first loan advance is made
(the "Maturity Date"), which payments shall be adjusted from time to time as
necessary to fully repay all principal, plus accrued interest thereon, by the
Maturity Date. , principal and interest on this Iowa Corp Note shall be paid in
twenty-four equal monthly installments. Maker shall have the right to prepay all
or any part of this Iowa Corp Note at any time without penalty or premium
provided any partial payment is at least $10,000 or an even multiple thereof,
but any such prepayment shall be applied to the installments of principal due
hereunder in the inverse order of maturity.

     4. Interest Rate. The Interest Rate means, as to each Advance, an interest
rate equal to the greater of the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (or
any successor Bank) plus two percent (2%), per annum in place at the time of the
advance, fixed as of the first business day of each


                                       -1-

<PAGE>

calendar month. Interest at the foregoing rate shall accrue and be compounded
annually and shall be payable solely from the Collateral as provided in Gaming
Operations Consulting Agreement. Interest shall be computed for the actual
number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. It is
intended that the rate of interest hereon shall never exceed the maximum rate,
if any, which may be legally charged on the Business Improvements Loan evidenced
by Iowa Note ("Maximum Rate"), and if the provisions for interest contained in
this Iowa Note would result in a rate higher than the Maximum Rate, interest
shall nevertheless be limited to the Maximum Rate and any amounts which may be
paid toward interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the
reduction of principal, or, at the lawfully exercised option of the Lender,
returned to Maker.

     5. Record of Amounts Owed. Maker hereby authorizes Lender to record on its
books and on Schedule A attached hereto all Advances made to the Maker and all
payments of principal amounts in respect of such Advances, which shall be
presumptive evidence as to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances;
provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any
Advance or payments shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
Maker.

     6. Default; Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs in the payment of
any principal, interest or any other sums when due hereunder, or in the
performance of any covenant or agreement hereunder, and such default continues
beyond any applicable notice, grace and/or cure period, then the outstanding
principal amount of the Business Improvements Loan, any interest accrued thereon
from time to time, and any other sums then remaining unpaid hereunder, at the
option of the holder hereof and without notice, shall become immediately due and
payable and Lender may exercise any other rights or remedies available under the
Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement or applicable law. Failure to exercise
any such option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same
at a later time or in the event of any subsequent default. The following shall
constitute "Events of Default" for purposes of this Iowa Corp Note:

     (a)  Failure by Maker to make timely payments of any of the installments of
          principal, interest or other amounts due hereunder, which is not cured
          within ten (10) days after written notice of such nonpayment is
          delivered to Maker; or

     (b)  The occurrence of any event of default under any credit facility, term
          loan or any other agreement entered into by Maker for the use of
          borrowed funds, with respect to which the creditor has recourse to
          assets of the Project Facilities, and with respect to which (i) the
          creditor has accelerated the maturity of the indebtedness of Maker to
          such creditor, or (ii) the creditor has initiated action to collect
          such indebtedness; or

     (c)  There shall have been filed or commenced against Maker an involuntary
          case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
          now or hereafter in effect or an action shall have been commenced to
          appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
          sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial
          part of Maker's property or for the winding up or liquidation of
          Maker's affairs and such action or proceeding shall not have been
          dismissed within sixty (60) days; or

          assignment for the benefit of creditors; or shall take any action in
          furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

          its representatives) in connection with entering into the Gaming
          Operations Consulting Agreement and/or any borrowing thereunder, or
          given by an Affiliate of Maker in connection with any agreement
          executed by an Affiliate of Maker in favor of Lender or any Affiliate
          of Lender, or required to be furnished under the terms thereof, shall
          prove untrue or misleading in any material respect (as determined by
          Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) as of the time when
          given or shall fail to be true and correct in all material respects at
          any time during the term of the agreement; or

     (f)  Default by Maker in the performance by Maker of any of its covenants
          or commitments under the Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement or

          agreement executed by an Affiliate of Maker in favor of Lender or any

          written notice of default is delivered to Maker or its Affiliate; or
