                             [Reverse Side of Note]

                       RIVER ROCK ENTERTAINMENT AUTHORITY

                          9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2011

                  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

                  1. Interest. The Authority promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 9 3/4% per annum from the date hereof until
maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to
Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Authority
shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each
year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a
record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 1,
2004. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

                  2. Method of Payment. The Authority shall pay interest on the
Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of
Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date
and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13
of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If a Holder of $1.0 million
or more in principal amount of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the
Authority, the Authority will pay all principal, interest and premium on that
Holder's Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on
Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar
within the City and State of New York unless the Authority elects to make
interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in
the register of Holders. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts.

                  3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National
Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Authority may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. The Authority may act in any such capacity.

                  4. Indenture. The Authority issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of November 7, 2003 ("Indenture") among the Authority, the
Tribe and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Authority consisting of the
Initial Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 and the aggregate
principal amount of Additional Notes issued in accordance with the Indenture.
The Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional
Notes may be issued thereunder.

                  6. Gaming Redemption.

                           (a) If a Gaming Authority determines, and a Holder or
Beneficial Owner of the Notes is notified, that such Holder or Beneficial Owner
must obtain a license, qualification or finding of suitability under any
applicable gaming law and the Holder or Beneficial Owner does not apply for that
license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being
requested to do so by such Gaming Authority (or such lesser period that may be
required by such Gaming Authority), or if such Holder or Beneficial Owner shall
not be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming law, or any
license, qualification or finding of suitability is not renewed upon its
expiration or is revoked, or the Holder or Beneficial Owner has been found to be
unsuitable for licensing, then the Authority, at its option but subject to
Section 16 hereof, may (i) require such Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of
such Holder or Beneficial Owner's Notes within 30 days, or any earlier date as
may be required by the Gaming Authority, of (A) the termination of the 30-day
period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a
license, qualification or finding of suitability, or (B) the receipt of the
notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or beneficial owner shall not
be licensed, qualified or found suitable or (ii) subject to the limitations
discussed under Section 13.01 redeem the Notes of such Holder or Beneficial
Owner at a price equal to (A) if such determination is made by the Tribal Gaming
Commission or any other Gaming Authority of the Tribe, and not by the CGCC, the
then-applicable redemption price as set forth in Section 3.07 or (B) in all
other cases, the least of (1) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (2) the
price at which such Holder or Beneficial Owner acquired the Notes, and (3) the
fair market value of the Notes, together with, in each case, to the extent
permitted by the Compact, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the earlier of
the date of redemption or such earlier date as may be required by the Gaming
Authority or the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority,
which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so ordered
by such Gaming Authority.

                           (b) Immediately upon a determination that a Holder or
Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, or that
such license, qualification or finding of suitability has been revoked or will
not be renewed, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall have no further rights (1)
to exercise any right conferred by the Notes, directly or indirectly, through
any Trustee, nominee or any other Person or entity, or (2) to receive any
interest or other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes or any
remuneration in any form from the Authority for services rendered or otherwise,
except the redemption price of the Notes.

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

                           (c) The Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes applying
for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability may be required to pay
all costs of the licenses or investigation for this qualification or finding of
suitability. The Authority is not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or
Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for any license,
qualification or finding of suitability.

                  7. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Paragraph 8
below, the Authority shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments
or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

                  8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Subject to the restrictions
in Section 16 hereof:

                           (a) if there is a Change of Control, each Holder
shall have the right to require the Authority to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes
pursuant to an offer to purchase (a "Change of Control Offer") at a price equal
to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control
Payment"). Within 20 days following any Change of Control, the Authority shall
mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date
specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the
procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

                           (b) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds from
one or more Asset Sales exceeds $2.5 million, the Authority shall commence an
offer ("Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Indenture to all
Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer
shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in
cash, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Authority
may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
Indenture. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero.

                  9. Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the
Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for
redemption, subject to the restrictions in Section 16 hereof, as follows: (i) if
the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or (ii) if the Notes
are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any method as the Trustee
deems fair and appropriate. No Notes of $1,000 or less may be redeemed in part.
Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, notices of redemption will be
mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices
of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for
redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the
redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them
called for redemption.

                  10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Authority may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Authority is not
required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the
Authority is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15
days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

<PAGE>

                  11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note
will be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing default
or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal of the then
outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of
any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated
Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, to provide for the
assumption of the Authority's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Authority, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to provide for the issuance of
Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

                  13. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default,
as defined in the Indenture, arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Authority, all outstanding Notes will become due
and payable immediately and automatically without further action or notice,
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 16 hereof. If any other Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under
the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.

                  In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by the Authority or on their
behalf with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Authority
would have had to pay if it then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall
also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law
and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 16 hereof upon the
acceleration of the Notes.

<PAGE>

                  14. Trustee Dealings with Authority. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and
perform services for the Authority or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal
with the Authority or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

                  15. No Recourse Against Others. Neither the Tribe nor any
tribal member, council member, official, agent, director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Authority or the Tribe or Holder of an
Ownership Interest of the Authority will, as such, have any liability for any of
the Authority's obligations under the Notes, the Indenture, or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, these obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases these individuals from this
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of
the Notes.

                  16. Special Provisions Regarding Unlicensed and Non-exempt
Holders. The Compact requires that any person who directly or indirectly extends
financing to the Tribe's gaming facility or gaming operation must be licensed as
a financial source by the Tribal Gaming Commission and must apply to the CGCC
for a finding of suitability. Under the Compact, however, the Tribal Gaming
Commission may exclude from such requirements any financing provided by a
federally or state regulated lending institution and any investor who, alone or
in conjunction with others, holds less than 10% of any outstanding indebtedness
evidenced by bonds issued by the tribe. The Tribal Gaming Commission has adopted
such exemptions with respect to holders of the Notes.

                  In addition, with the approval of the Tribal Gaming
Commission, Regulation CGCC-2 of the CGCC permits certain entities ("Qualifying
Entities") who are actual or prospective holders of any bonds (debt securities
issued pursuant to an indenture by or on behalf of a tribe) to register as a
financial source with the CGCC, resulting in an automatic determination of
suitability by the CGCC. As a complement to Regulation CGCC-2, the Tribal Gaming
Commission has adopted a regulation approving application of Regulation CGCC-2
to the holders of the Notes that also provides for the automatic Tribal Gaming
Commission licensing of each Qualifying Institution who properly submits a
license application in a form identical to the application required for
registration under Regulation CGCC-2.

                  Qualifying Institutions include each of the following entities
who own at least $100.0 million of securities of issuers that are not affiliated
with the entities: (i) a federally or state regulated bank, savings association
or other federal or state regulated lending institution, (ii) a company that is
organized as an insurance company, the primary and predominant business activity
of which is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by
insurance companies, and that is subject to supervision by the Insurance
Commissioner of California, or a similar official or agency of another state,
(iii) an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
(iv) a retirement plan established and maintained by the United States, an
agency or instrumentality thereof, or by a state, its political subdivisions, or
any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the
benefit of its employees, (v) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, (vi) a
securities dealer registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
and (vii) an entity, all of the equity owners of which, individually, meet the
foregoing criteria.

                  Regulation CGCC-2 further provides that any person can acquire
bonds after an initial offering without the need to obtain a license from the
Tribal Gaming Commission or to apply to the CGCC for a determination of
suitability, regardless of whether a holder owns less than 10% of a tribe's
bonds or is otherwise exempt from licensing. However, the regulation requires
the relevant indenture to contain certain restrictions on the enforcement and
post-default rights of holders who are not licensed or otherwise exempt from
licensing.

                  Accordingly, the Indenture provides that if any Notes are
transferred to a holder (or beneficial owner) that is not licensed or otherwise
exempted from licensing by the Tribal Gaming Commission in accordance with the
Compact, then neither the transferee holder (or beneficial owner) nor any person
acting on behalf of that transferee holder (or beneficial owner), including the
Trustee, will have any right to enforce any payment obligation relating to the
Notes against any revenues, property or rights of the Authority or the Tribe, or
any branch, department, agency, instrumentality, division, subsidiary,
enterprise, authority or wholly-owned corporation or business of the Tribe
(whether through the exercise of voting rights or otherwise), until such time as
the transferee holder is licensed or exempted from licensing by the Tribal
Gaming Commission in accordance with the Compact. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Authority and the Tribe are
prohibited from making any payment on the Notes (1) as a result of any
enforcement action commenced by or on behalf of the Trustee or any holder or (2)
after payment of the Notes has been accelerated because of a default under the
Indenture, except in each case to a holder that is licensed or exempted from
licensing by the Tribal Gaming Commission in accordance with the Compact.

                  The foregoing provisions of this section 16 shall not apply to
any Person who is not licensed as a Financial Source (or exempted from such
requirement) to the extent the Compact or State Bond Regulation is ever amended
to not require such Person to be licensed as a Financial Source.

                  17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

                  18. Additional Rights of Holders of the Restricted Global Note
and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders
under the Indenture, Holders of the Restricted Global Note and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of November 7, 2003, between the Authority and the parties
named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes,
Holders of the Restricted Global Note and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have
the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any,
between the Authority and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by
the Authority to the purchasers of Additional Notes (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").

                  19. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Authority has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation
is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

                  20. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity; Waiver as to Tribal Courts;
Consent to Jurisdictions; Applicable Law. All provisions in the Indenture
relating to Authority waivers of sovereign immunity and rights to resolve
disputes in tribal court, as well as all consents and agreements of the
Authority to applicable laws and jurisdictions for the resolution of disputes,
are hereby incorporated herein with the same force and effect as though set
forth at length herein.

                  Section 3. Registered Exchange Offer.

                  (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by
applicable federal law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in
Section 6(a)(i) hereof have been complied with), the Issuer shall (i) use its
reasonable best efforts to prepare and, not later than 180 days following the
claim date (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission (such day being, for purposes of this Section 3, the "Filing
Deadline"), (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement to become effective no later than 300 days after the Closing Date (of
if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such day
being, for purposes of this Section 3, the "Effectiveness Deadline"), (iii) in
connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it
to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and
(C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and
qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer;
provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to (1) qualify as a
foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required but for this Section 3(a), (2) file any general
consent to service of process or (3) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction if it is not so subject, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange
Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the
Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer
Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer
that tendered into the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for
its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading
activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its
Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

<PAGE>

                  (b) The Issuer shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period
of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no
event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Issuer shall cause
the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities
laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuer shall use its best efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date
after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no
event later than 30 Business Days thereafter (such 30th day being the
"Consummation Deadline"), unless a longer period is required by applicable
federal or state securities laws.

                  (c) The Issuer shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section
in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and
indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities
that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired
directly from the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer), may exchange such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of
Distribution" section shall also contain all other information with respect to
such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to
permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not
name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the
Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the
date of this Agreement.

                  Because any such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial
sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer,
the Issuer shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement through the Consummation Deadline and thereafter as
provided in the remainder of this paragraph. To the extent necessary to ensure
that the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
available for sales of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer that acquired
Exchange Notes as a result of market-making or similar activities such that the
Broker-Dealer would be required to deliver a prospectus under the Act upon a
subsequent sale or other disposition of the Exchange Notes, upon receiving
notice from such Broker-Dealers of such activities, the Issuer agrees to use its
best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously
effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the
provisions of Sections 6(a) and 6(c) hereof and in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations
of the Commission, as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days (as
extended due to events specified in Section 6(c)(i) hereof) of the date the
Exchange Offer is consummated or such shorter period as will terminate when all
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant thereto. The Issuer shall provide sufficient copies of the latest
version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in
no event later than one day after the date of such request, at any time during
such period.

                  Section 4. Shelf Registration.

                  (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Exchange Offer is not
permitted by applicable federal law or Commission policy (after the Issuer has
complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) hereof) or (ii) if any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Issuer in writing
prior to the 20th day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A)
such Holder was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the
Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it
in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a
Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its
Affiliates, then the Issuer shall: (x) cause to be filed, on or prior to 45 days
after the earlier of (1) the date on which the Issuer determines that the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement need not or cannot be filed as a result of
clause (a)(i) above and (2) the date on which the Issuer receives the notice
specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such earlier date being, for purposes of this
Section 4, the "Filing Deadline"), a shelf registration statement pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement")) relating to all
Transfer Restricted Securities, and (y) shall use its best efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after
the Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 90th day being,
for purposes of this Section 4, the "Effectiveness Deadline").

                  If, after the Issuer filed an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) hereof, the Issuer is
required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely
because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law or
Commission policy (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of
clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Issuer shall remain
obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y) above.

                  To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration
Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the
Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other
securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii)
hereof, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration
Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented,
amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections
6(b) and 6(c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement,
the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission, as announced
from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended due to events
specified in Section 6(c)(i) hereof) following the Closing Date or such shorter
period as will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration of the period
referred to in Rule 144(k) or when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by
such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or cease to be
outstanding, provided, however, the issuer shall not be required to keep such
Shelf Registration Statement effective where the only Transfer Restricted
Securities that have not been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
are Transfer Restricted Securities held by Holders who would not have been able
to trigger the Issuer's Shelf Registration filing obligations pursuant to
Section 4(a)(i)(A), (B) or (C) hereof.

                  (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection
with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder
furnishes to the Issuer in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request
therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of
Regulation S-K of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein and any other
information as the Issuer may reasonably request. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to additional interest pursuant to
Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such
information. Each selling Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is
being effected agrees to furnish promptly additional information required to be
disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuer by
such Holder not materially misleading.

                  Section 5. Additional interest. If (i) any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such Registration Statement
has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable
Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or
prior to the Consummation Deadline, (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective but thereafter, pending the announcement of a material
corporate transaction, the Issuer issues a notice that the Shelf Registration
Statement is unusable, or such notice is required under applicable securities
laws to be issued by the Issuer, and, during the period specified in Section
4(a) hereof, the aggregate number of days in any consecutive twelve-month period
for which all such notices are issued or required to be issued exceeds 45 days,
or (v) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is filed and declared effective
but thereafter shall cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended
purpose without being succeeded within 5 Business Days by a post-effective
amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement that cures such failure
and that is itself declared effective immediately (each such event referred to
in clauses (i) through (v), a "Registration Default"), then the Authority will
pay additional interest to each holder of Notes immediately following the
occurrence of the first Registration Default. During the first 90-day period
that a Registration Default occurs, the Authority will pay additional interest
equal to 0.25% per annum. At the beginning of the second 90-day period that a
Registration Default is continuing, the amount of additional interest will
increase by an additional 0.25% per annum until all Registration Defaults have
been cured. However, in no event will the cumulative rate of additional interest
exceed 0.50% per annum. Such additional interest will accrue only for those days
that a Registration Default occurs and is continuing. All accrued additional
interest will be paid to the holders of the Notes in the same manner as interest
payments on the Notes, with payments being made on the interest payment dates
for the Notes. Immediately following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the
accrual of additional interest will cease. The obligations of the Issuer to pay
additional interest pursuant to this Section 5 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy available to the Holders pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or
otherwise in respect of any Registration Default.

                  Section 6. Registration Procedures.

                  (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with
the Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions
of Section 6(c) hereof, (y) use its best efforts to effect such exchange and to
permit the resale of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer that tendered in the
Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a
result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than
Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its Affiliates) being sold in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z)
comply with all of the following provisions:

                  (i) If, following the date hereof there has been published a
         change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the
         Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Issuer
         raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is
         permitted by applicable federal law, the Issuer hereby agrees to seek a
         no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission
         allowing the Issuer to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer
         Restricted Securities, provided that the Issuer shall not be required
         to seek such no-action letter or favorable decision if in the opinion
         of Holland & Knight LLP such no-action letter or favorable decision is
         not likely to be forthcoming based upon its information and experience.
         The Issuer hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to
         the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take
         commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission
         policy. In connection with the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to
         take all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or
         otherwise required in connection with the issuance of such decision
         (but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to
         effect a change of Commission policy), including without limitation (A)
         participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B)
         delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to
         the Issuer setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such
         counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted
         and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable)
         by the Commission staff of such submission.

                  (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange
         Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including,
         without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish,
         upon the request of the Issuer, prior to the Consummation of the
         Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Issuer (which may be
         contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an
         Affiliate of the Issuer, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend
         to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person
         to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in
         the Exchange Offer; (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its
         ordinary course of business; and (D) such other representations
         reasonably requested by the Issuer. As a condition to its participation
         in the Exchange Offer, each Holder using the Exchange Offer to
         participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge
         and agree that if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such
         Holder in exchange for Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or an
         Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in
         effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the
         Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available
         May 13, 1988) and Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5,
         1991), as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman &
         Sterling, dated July 2, 1993, and similar applicable no-action letters
         (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to
         clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and
         prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a
         secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale
         transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement
         containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507
         or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

<PAGE>

                  (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement, the Issuer shall provide a supplemental letter
         to the Commission (A) stating that the Issuer is registering the
         Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated
         in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988) and
         Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991), as interpreted
         in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling, dated July 2, 1993,
         and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
         (i) above, (B) including a representation that the Issuer has not
         entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to
         distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and
         that, to the best of the Issuer's information and belief, each Holder
         participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in
         its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding
         with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
         Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or
         representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
         letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

                  (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Issuer shall:

                  (i) comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof
         and use its best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale
         of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the
         intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the
         information furnished to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof),
         and pursuant thereto, the Issuer will prepare and file with the
         Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any
         appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the
         sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the
         intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time
         periods specified and otherwise in accordance with the provisions
         hereof; and

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  (ii) issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of
         Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this
         Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to
         the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the Shelf
         Registration Statement and surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation;
         the Issuer shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration
         Statement for this purpose and issue the Exchange Notes to the
         purchaser(s) of securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement
         in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate.

                  (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration
Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Issuer
shall:

                  (i) use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement
         continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements
         for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as
         applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to
         contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any
         material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
         or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted
         Securities permitted by and included in the Exchange Offer during the
         period required by this Agreement, the Issuer shall file promptly an
         appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, or the related
         Prospectus in the case of Clause (A), correcting such untrue statement
         or curing such omission, and, with respect to Clauses (A) and (B), if
         Commission review is required, use its reasonable best efforts to cause
         such amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable
         thereafter;

                  (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
         post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as
         may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
         applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may
         be, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer
         Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been
         sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
         Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
         Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and
         462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with
         the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
         securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable
         period in accordance with the intended method or methods of
         distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration
         Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

                  (iii) advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such
         Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any
         Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,
         with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any
         post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective,
         (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration
         Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for
         additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the
         Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state
         securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted
         Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation
         of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, and (D) of the
         existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any
         statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the
         Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
         incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making
         of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement in order
         to make the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the
         making of any additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to
         make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
         which they were made, not misleading. If at any time the Commission
         shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other
         regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification
         or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Issuer shall use its best
         efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the
         earliest possible time;

                  (iv) subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event
         contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have
         occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
         Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
         incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
         so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer
         Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                  (v) (A) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, upon
         request of any Holder, furnish to each Holder in connection with such
         exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of
         any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any
         amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or
         Prospectus, which documents will be subject to the review and comment
         of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of
         at least five Business Days, and the Issuer will not file any such
         Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to
         any such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which any such Holder
         shall with respect to information about itself only, reasonably object
         within five Business Days after the receipt thereof. The Initial
         Purchaser shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if
         such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as
         applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a
         material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the
         applicable requirements of the Act; or (B) in the case of an Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement, furnish to the Initial Purchaser in
         connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the
         Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus
         included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such
         Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents
         incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration
         Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment
         of such Initial Purchaser in connection with such sale, if any, for a
         period of at least five Business Days, and the Issuer will not file any
         such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
         supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
         all such documents incorporated by reference) to which the Initial
         Purchaser shall reasonably object within five Business Days after the
         receipt thereof. The Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to have
         reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement,
         amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be
         filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
         state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the
         Act;

         document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration
         Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to each
         Initial Purchaser in connection with such exchange or sale, if any,
         make the Issuer's representatives available for discussion of such
         document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such
         information with respect to such Holder in such document prior to the
         filing thereof as such Initial Purchaser may reasonably request;

                  (vii) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by
         each Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holder, all

         the Issuer or the Tribe's obligations under the Indenture) and cause
         the Issuer's officers, directors and employees to supply all
         information, in each case in this clause (vii) as reasonably requested

         Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
         subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;
         provided, that each Holder shall keep confidential any non-public
         information relating to the Issuer received by such Holder and not
         disclose such information (other than to an Affiliate or prospective
         purchaser who agrees to respect the confidentiality provisions of this
         Section 6(c)(vii)) until such information has been made generally
         available to the public unless the release of such information is
         required by law or any regulatory authority, and each Holder shall sign
         a confidentiality agreement in customary form if so requested by the
         Issuer;

         exchange or sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or
         Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if

         soon as practicable after the Issuer is notified of the matters to be
         included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

                  (x) deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of
         the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any
         amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request;
         the Issuer hereby consents to the use (in accordance with applicable
         law, rules, regulations and orders) of the Prospectus and any amendment
         or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the
         offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by
         the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

                  (xi) in the case of Shelf Registration, upon the request of
         any Holder, enter into such agreements (including underwriting
         agreements) and make such representations and warranties and take all
         such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or

         audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective
         date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in
         paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

                  (xvii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not
         later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement
         required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with
         the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as
         may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance
         with the terms of the TIA and execute and use its reasonable best
         efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be
         required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents
         required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be
         so qualified in a timely manner; and

                  (xviii) following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer or
         the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the
         case may be, whether or not required by the Commission, file a copy of
         all of the following information and reports with the Commission for

         annual financial information that would be required to be contained in
         a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were

                  (d) Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition
of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to
in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) hereof or any notice from the Issuer of the existence of
any fact or the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
6(c)(iii)(D) hereof or, in the case of the Shelf Registration, the Issuer shall
issue a notice pending the announcement of a material business transaction that
the Shelf Registration Statement is unusable (in each case, a "Suspension
Notice"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until
(i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in
writing by the Issuer that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated

Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i)
destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Issuer with more recently

effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof,
as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days
in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice
to the Recommencement Date.

                  Section 8. Indemnification.

                  (a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Initial Purchaser, each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls the Initial
Purchaser or Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act), including, with respect to each such Initial Purchaser or
Holder or controlling person, its directors, agents, officers and employees,
from and against: (i) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, expense and
action whatsoever, joint or several, as incurred, to which each such Holder,
Initial Purchaser or controlling person or any such director, agent, officer or
employee may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise,
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference,
or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage, expense or action whatsoever, joint or several, as
incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission,
provided that (subject to Section 8(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected
with the written consent of the Issuer; (iii) any and all expenses whatsoever,
joint or several, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel
chosen by any indemnified party, subject to the limitations in Section 8(c)
below), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission,
to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraphs (i) and (ii)
above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any
loss, liability, claim, damage, expense or action to the extent arising out of
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer
by the Initial Purchaser or such Holder expressly for use in a Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto); and provided, further, that the Issuer shall not be liable
to the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or its directors, agents, officers,
employees or any person controlling the Initial Purchaser or any such Holder,
with respect to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary Prospectus to the extent
that the Issuer shall sustain the burden of proving that any such loss,
liability, claim, damage, expense or action resulted from the fact that any
Initial Purchaser or any Holder sold the Notes to a person to whom such Initial
Purchaser or Holder failed to send or give, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Notes, a copy of the final Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) if the Issuer has previously furnished copies thereof
to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders, as applicable (sufficiently in advance
of the Closing Date to allow for distribution of the final Prospectus in a
timely manner) and complied with their obligations under Section 6 hereof and
the loss, liability, claim, damage, expense or action of the Initial Purchaser
or any Holder resulted from an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from such
preliminary Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) which was corrected in the
final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented). The indemnity agreement set forth
in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Issuer may
otherwise have. In the event of an underwritten offering, as contemplated by
Section 6 herein, the Issuer will also indemnify the underwriters, if any,
selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and
employees to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration
Statement.

                  (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and other
selling Holders, and their respective directors, agents, officers and employees,
and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Issuer or such other selling Holders
to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer set forth in
clause (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder
furnished in writing to the Issuer by such Holder expressly for use in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
In no event shall any Holder, its directors, agents, officers, employees or any
Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with
respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer
Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its
directors, agents, officers, employees or any Person who controls such Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for
contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such
failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and
such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties
similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party;
provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any
such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party.
Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
such indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense of such action and
approval by the indemnified party's election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party's counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence
(it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local
counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (the Issuer in the case of Section
8(a) hereof and a majority of the Holders in the case of Section 8(b) hereof),
representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees
and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

                                       17
<PAGE>

                  The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party
against any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
Section 8(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying
party of the aforesaid request (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received
notice of the final terms of such proposed settlement as soon as practicable
prior to the settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnified party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement,
compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could
have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or actions referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or actions referred to therein (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, from
their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided
by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or actions, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, on the one hand, or the
Holders and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions referred to above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  The Issuer and each Holder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any
action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
expenses or actions. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no
Holder, or its directors, agents, officers, employees or any Person, if any, who
controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by such Holder with
respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer
Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 8(d) are several, in proportion to the respective principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Holder hereunder, and not joint.

                  Section 9. Limited Waiver of Sovereign Immunity; Specific
Consent to Jurisdictions and other Waivers.

                  The Issuer does not consent to the enforcement, levy or other
execution of any judgment for money or other damages against any assets, real or
personal, of the Tribe, except that the Issuer waives its sovereign immunity
from unconsented suit or other legal proceeding, whether such suit or
proceedings be brought in law or in equity, or in administrative proceedings or
proceedings in arbitration, to permit the commencement and maintenance of any
action, by the Initial Purchaser or any Holder (or any representative of a
Holder), to interpret or enforce the terms of this Agreement, and to enforce and
execute any order, judgment or ruling resulting therefrom against any assets or
revenues of the Issuer other than real property held in trust for the Tribe by
the United States.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of law or canon of
construction, the Issuer intends this waiver to be interpreted liberally to
permit the full litigation or other resolution of disputes arising under or out
of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject
to the foregoing, the Issuer waives its immunity from unconsented suit and other
legal proceedings to permit suit in any federal court in the State of New York,
any state court of the State of New York and all courts to which appeals
therefrom are available, and enforcement of any judgment of such court in any
court of competent jurisdiction, or arbitrators, appointed and acting under the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to:

                                       19
<PAGE>

                  (a) enforce and interpret the terms of this Agreement and
award and enforce an award of damages owing as a consequence of a breach
thereof;

                  (b) order the seizure and sale of any assets of the Issuer
used or held for use in the Gaming Business, other than real property held in
trust for the Tribe by the United States, or the exercise of any other remedy
available generally in the State of New York for judgment creditors;

                  (c) determine whether any consent or approval of the Issuer
has been improperly granted or unreasonably withheld;

                  (d) enforce any judgment prohibiting the Issuer from taking
any action, or mandating or obligating the Issuer to take any action; and

                  (e) as to a court of competent jurisdiction only, but not
arbitrators, adjudicate any claim under the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, 25
U.S.C. ss. 1302 (or any successor statute).

                  The Issuer expressly waives any right it may otherwise have to
require any matter arising hereunder be considered or heard first in any tribal
court of the Tribe, now or hereafter existing, whether because of the doctrine
of exhaustion of tribal remedies or as a matter of comity or abstention.

                  Section 10. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer will not, on or
after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this
Agreement or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Issuer has
not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
respect to its securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of the Issuer's securities under any agreement in
effect on the date hereof.

                  (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement
may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of
Section 5 hereof and this Section 10(b)(i), the Issuer has obtained the written
consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in
the case of all other provisions hereof, the Issuer has obtained the written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by
the Issuer or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly
the rights of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being
tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
subject to such Exchange Offer.

                  (c) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of the Holders
hereunder.

shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee at

                  (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express
assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Transfer
Restricted Securities in violation of the terms hereof or of the Purchase
Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire
Transfer Restricted Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held subject to all of
the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted
Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound

Purchase Agreement, and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits
hereof.

                  (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number

enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

                  (i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the
parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete
and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions,
promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to

                  (j) IGRA Savings Provisions. It is not the intent of the
parties hereto that this Agreement, whether considered alone, or together with
any other one or more documents, constitute a management contract within the
meaning of IGRA. Accordingly, to the extent any reasonable basis exists
therefore, each and every provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner that
does not cause this Agreement to constitute a management contract, whether
considered alone, or together with any other one or more documents. In no event
shall any provision of this Agreement be applied, or deemed in effect or
enforceable, to the extent such provision allows any action or influence by the
Trustee or any other person that constitutes management of gaming in violation
of IGRA. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any term or condition
herein should cause this Agreement, alone, or together with any one or more
other documents, to constitute a management contract within the meaning of IGRA,
such provision shall be null and void without any further force and effect, with
all other provisions not similarly null and void remaining in full force and
effect. This Section shall survive as an agreement separate and apart from the
remainder of this Indenture in the event of any determination that any provision
of this Agreement causes the Agreement to constitute a management contract
within the meaning of IGRA.
