            or Event of Default exists, which notice shall be accompanied by a duly executed officer’s certificate (in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) certifying the amount of the Subordinated Debt to be voluntarily prepaid,
            redeemed, or repurchased, the payment or purchase price thereof, and that at the time of any such payment and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default exists.

            Lenders. 

           

        

        1.7.            Guaranties.  Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated as

        Section 8.16            Limitation on
            Restrictions.  Except as provided herein and other than pursuant to the 2021 Unsecured Bond Debt Documents, the Borrower shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to create or otherwise
          cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends or make any other distribution on any of such Restricted Subsidiary’s capital
          stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; (2) pay any indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary; (3) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any other
          Restricted Subsidiary; or (4) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary. Other than the 2021 Unsecured Bond Debt Documents, the Borrower shall not enter into any indenture, instrument, or other
          agreement for Indebtedness for Borrowed Money which contains, or amend any terms of any such indenture, instrument, or agreement which would result in any such indenture, instrument, or agreement having, covenants or defaults more burdensome on
          the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary than the covenants and defaults provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         

        1.9.            Events of Default.  Sections 9.1(i) and (j) of the Credit Agreement are amended
          and restated as follows:

         

        (i)            Default shall be made in the payment when due (whether by
          lapse of time, by declaration, by call for redemption or otherwise) of the principal of or interest or premium on any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in excess of $1,000,000 of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than the Loans but specifically
          including the 2021 Unsecured Bond Debt), individually or in the aggregate, and such default shall continue beyond the period of grace, if any, allowed with respect thereto; or

         

        (j)            Default or the happening of any event shall occur under any
          indenture, agreement, or other instrument under which any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in excess of $1,000,000 of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement but specifically including the
          2021 Unsecured Bond Debt), individually or in the aggregate, may be issued and such default or event shall continue for a period of time sufficient to permit the acceleration of the maturity of any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Borrower
          or any Subsidiary outstanding thereunder; or

         

        
          - 5 -

6.        The Mohegan Tribe and the State agree to amend Section 6(d) of the Compact to read as

 7.        The Mohegan Tribe and the State

Public Act No. 21-23, consistent with a shared objective of a uniform process across jurisdictions.” 

8.        The Mohegan Tribe and the State hereby agree that a change in State law to authorize each of
the Mohegan Tribe (or an instrumentality or an affiliate wholly-owned by the Mohegan Tribe) and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe (or an instrumentality or an affiliate wholly-owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe) to operate online sports wagering,

 Page 4 of 8 

 
outside of its respective reservation (i) one skin for online sports wagering, (ii) one skin for online casino gaming, and (iii) fantasy contests; provided that (y) the
cessation of the Mohegan Tribe’s authority to conduct online sports wagering, online casino gaming and fantasy contests outside of its Reservation as a result of its violation of the conditions of such authority under State Public Act No. 21-23 granting such authority, and the continued authorization of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, or both to conduct the activities set forth in this paragraph 8, or
(z) the cessation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s authority to conduct online sports wagering, online casino gaming and fantasy contests outside of its reservation as a result of its violation of the conditions of such authority under
State Public Act No. 21-23 granting such authority, and the continued authorization of the Mohegan Tribe, the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, or both to conduct the activities set forth in this paragraph
8, shall not itself terminate the moratorium established under Section 15(a) of the Compact. For purposes of this paragraph 8 only, “online casino gaming” means slots, blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, poker and video poker,
bingo, live dealer and other peer-to-peer games and any variations of such games, and any games authorized by the State gaming agency, conducted over the Internet,

(b)    The Connecticut Lottery Corporation’s authorization to operate, and the operation by the Connecticut Lottery

more frequently than once every four minutes; (iv) keno both through retail lottery sales agents of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and through the Connecticut Lottery Corporation’s Internet web site, online service or mobile
application, provided drawings occur not more frequently than once every three minutes and the State makes payments to the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe each in the amount of twelve and
one-half per cent (12.5%) of the gross gaming revenue from keno; and (v) fantasy contests outside of the reservation of either tribe; and further provided that (vi) while the

  
 Page 5 of 8 

 
Connecticut Lottery Corporation may contract for the provision of services for its skin for online sports wagering with an entity that operates in a physical casino in any jurisdiction, if the
Connecticut Lottery Corporation contracts with an entity that is owned by an operator of a physical casino in any jurisdiction, such entity may not utilize any patron information collected as a result of such contract with such operator for purposes
of marketing or any other purposes related to acquiring patrons. In this paragraph 8(b), the most recently published U.S. Census maps will be used for purposes of designating the boundaries of the State and the reservations of the Mohegan Tribe and
the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. 
 The Mohegan Tribe and the State agree that nothing in this paragraph 8 shall be deemed to confer upon the
State any jurisdiction over any Class II gaming conducted by the Mohegan Tribe on the Reservation or to alter the jurisdiction of the State over Class III Gaming conducted by the Mohegan Tribe on the Reservation. 

9.        This Agreement shall become effective upon the occurrence of all of the following:

Interior pursuant to the Act and its implementing regulations and notice thereof is published in the Federal Register. 

10.        This Agreement shall have an initial term of ten (10) years from the effective date of
this Agreement and a renewal term of an additional five (5) years thereafter, provided that the renewal term shall be effective only if mutually consented to by the State and the Mohegan Tribe and provided that the Mashantucket Agreement is
also extended for a five (5) year renewal term. Notwithstanding any expiration of this Agreement as set forth in this paragraph 10 or any cessation of effectiveness of this Agreement as set forth in paragraph 11, the Connecticut Lottery
