                          ARTICLE 3. PROFESSIONAL FEES

         Basic Services include Structural, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection &
         Electrical. Proposed Professional Fees are as delineated in the
         approved agreement and summarized as follows:

         The Project Fee for Basic Services for the facilities is based on a
         percentage of total hard construction cost derived from a Factor of 42
         divided by the common logarithm of the construction cost (CC) or:

                          FEE PERCENTAGE = 42 / LOG CC

         The current approved Construction Cost budget (including 8.00% for the
         Contractor's General Conditions and 4.0% for Contractor's Overhead &
         Profit) for Phase One program items include:

Construction Phase under this Agreement commences with the award of the Contract
for Construction and terminates at the earlier of the issuance to the Owner of
the final Certificate for Payment or 60 days after the date of Substantial
Completion of the Work.

2.6.2 The Architect shall provide administration of the Contract for
Construction as set forth below and in the edition of AIA Document A201, General
Conditions of the Contract for Construction, current as of the date of this
Agreement, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

2.6.3 Duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Architect
shall not be restricted, modified or extended without written agreement of the
Owner and Architect.

2.6.4 Architect shall be a representative of and shall advise and consult with
the Owner (1) during construction until final payment to the Contractor is due,
and (2) as an Additional Service at the Owner's direction from time to time
during the correction period described in the Contract for Construction. The

provided in this Agreement unless otherwise modified by written instrument.

2.6.5 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage
of construction or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and Architect in writing to

and to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner
indicating that the Work when completed will be in accordance with the Contract
Documents. Full time on-site representation shall be provided as an additional
service by separate agreement. On the basis of on-site observations as an

as provided in Subparagraph 2.6.5 and on the data comprising the Contractor's
Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and
that, to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information and belief, quality
of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing
representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with
the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent
tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents
correctable prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by the
Architect. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall further constitute a
representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount
certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a
representation that the Architect has (1) reviewed construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, (2) ascertained how or for what purpose the
Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum except
requiring the Contractor to supply Monthly Release Affidavits for
subcontractors.

2.6.11 The Architect shall recommend to the Owner the rejection of Work which

Documents, the Architect will have authority to require additional inspection or
testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents,
whether or not such Work is fabricated; installed or completed. However, neither
this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or
responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and
equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons performing
portions of the Work.

2.6.12 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action
upon Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples,
but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information
given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The
Architect's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no
delay in the Work or in the construction of the Owner or of separate
contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional
judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted
for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details
such as dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for
installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractor,
all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor to the extent required
by the Contract Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval
of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect,
of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an
assembly of which the item is a component. When professional certification of
performance characteristics of materials, systems or equipment is required by
the Contract Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such
certification to establish that the materials, systems or equipment will meet
the performance criteria required by the Contract Documents.

2.6.13 The Architect shall prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
Directives, with supporting documentation and data if deemed necessary by the
Architect as provided in Subparagraphs 3.1.1 and 3.3.3, for the Owner's approval
and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents, and may authorize minor
changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an
extension of the Contract Time which are not inconsistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents.

2.6.14 The Architect shall conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of
Substantial Completion and the date of final completion, shall receive and
forward to the Owner for the Owner's review and records written warranties and
related documents required by the Contract Documents and assembled by the
Contractor, and shall issue a final Certificate for Payment upon compliance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents.

2.6.15 The Architect shall provide advice to the Owner in matters concerning
performance of the Owner and Contractor under the requirements of the Contract
Documents on written request of the Owner. The Architect's response to such
requests shall be made with reasonable promptness and within any time limits
agreed upon.

2.6.16 Advice and decisions provided by the Architect shall be consistent with
the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents and shall be
in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such advice and decisions,
the Architect shall endeavor to secure faithful performance by the Contractor,
and shall not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so rendered
in good faith.

2.6.17 The Architect's decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect shall
be final if consistent with the intent expressed in the Contract Documents.

2.6.18 The Architect shall render written decisions within a reasonable time on
all claims, disputes or other matters in question between the Owner and
Contractor relating to the execution or progress of the Work as provided in the
Contract Documents.

2.6.19 The Architect's decisions on claims, disputes or other matters, including
those in question between the Owner and Contractor, except for those relating to
aesthetic effect as provided in Subparagraph 2.6.17, shall be subject to the
dispute resolution process set forth in 12.7 as provided in this Agreement and
in the Contract Documents.

                               ADDITIONAL SERVICES

3.1      GENERAL

3.1.1 The services described in this Article 3 are not included in Basic
Services unless so identified in Article 12, and they shall be paid for by the
Owner as provided in this Agreement, in addition to the compensation for Basic
Services. The services described under Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.4 shall only be
provided if authorized or confirmed in writing by the Owner. If services
described under Contingent Additional Services in Paragraph 3.3 are required due
to circumstances beyond the Architect's control, the Architect shall notify the
Owner prior to commencing such services. If the Owner deems that such services
described under Paragraph 3.3 are not required, the Owner shall give prompt
written notice to the Architect. If the Owner indicates in writing that all or
part of such Contingent Additional Services are not required, the Architect
shall have no obligation to provide those services.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                                CONSTRUCTION COST

5.1      DEFINITION

5.1.1 The Construction Cost shall be the total cost to the Owner (estimated
initially until fixed at an accepted Bid amount). For the purposes of fee
calculation, see Article 11.2.1.3, for the definition of Construction Cost.

5.1.2 The Construction Cost shall include the cost at current market rates of
labor and materials furnished by the Owner and equipment designed, specified,
selected or specially provided for by the Architect, plus a reasonable allowance
for the Contractor's overhead and profit. In addition, a reasonable allowance
for contingencies shall be included for market conditions at the time of bidding
and for changes in the Work during construction.

5.1.3 Construction Cost does not include the compensation of the Architect and
Architect's consultants, the costs of the land, rights-of-way, financing or
other costs which are the responsibility of the Owner as provided in Article 4.

5.2      RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST

5.2.1 Evaluations of the Owner's Project budget, preliminary estimates of
Construction Cost and detailed estimates of Construction Cost, if any, prepared
by the Architect, represent the Architect's best judgment as a design
professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however,
that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor,
materials or equipment, over the Contractor's methods of determining bid prices,
or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the
Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated
prices will not vary from the Owner's Project budget or from any estimate of
Construction Cost or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect.

5.2.2 No fixed limit of Construction Cost shall be established as a condition of
this Agreement by the furnishing, proposal or establishment of a Project budget,
unless such fixed limit has been agreed upon in writing and signed by the
parties hereto. If such a fixed limit has been established, the Architect shall
be permitted to include contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation,
to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of
construction are to be included in the Contract Documents, to make reasonable
adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the Contract Documents
alternate bids to adjust the Construction Cost to the fixed limit. Fixed limits,
if any, shall be increased in the amount of an increase in the Contract Sum
occurring after execution of the Contract for Construction.

5.2.3 If the Bidding or Negotiation Phase has not commenced within 90 days after
the Architect submits the Construction Documents to the Owner, any Project
budget or fixed limit of Construction Cost shall be adjusted to reflect changes
in the general level of prices in the construction industry between the date of
submission of the Construction Documents to the Owner and the date on which
proposals are sought.

5.2.4 If a fixed limit of Construction Cost (adjusted as provided in
Subparagraph 5.2.3) is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated
proposal, the Owner shall:

     .1   give written approval of an increase in such fixed limit;

     .2   authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a
          reasonable time;

     .3   if the Project is abandoned, terminate in accordance with Paragraph
          8.3; or

5.2.5 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Clause 5.2.4.4, the Architect,
without additional charge, shall modify the Contract Documents as necessary to
comply with the fixed limit, if established as a condition of this Agreement.

responsibility arising out of the establishment of a fixed limit. The Architect
shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with this Agreement for all
services performed whether or not the Construction Phase is commenced.

                                   ABANDONMENT

8.1 This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon not less than seven
days' written notice should the other party fail substantially to perform in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party
initiating the termination.

8.2 If the Project is suspended by the Owner for more than 30 consecutive days,
the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect's compensation shall
be equitably adjusted, by mutual agreement between Owner and Architect, to
provide for expenses incurred in the interruption and resumption of the
Architect's services.

8.3 This Agreement may be terminated by the Owner upon not less than seven days'
written notice to the Architect in the event that the Project is permanently
abandoned. If the Project is suspended by the Owner for more than 120
consecutive days, or 120 days total within a one (1) year period the Architect
may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice.

8.4 Failure of the Owner to make payments to the Architect in accordance with
this Agreement shall be considered substantial nonperformance and cause for
termination.

8.5 If the Owner fails to make payment when due the Architect for services and
expenses, the Architect may, upon seven days' written notice to the Owner,
suspend performance of services under this Agreement. Unless payment in full is
received by the Architect within seven days of the date of the notice, the
suspension shall take effect without further notice. In the event of a
suspension of services, the Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for
delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of services.

8.6 In the event of termination not the fault of the Architect, the Architect
shall be compensated for services performed prior to termination, together with
Reimbursable Expenses then due and all Termination Expenses as defined in
Paragraph 8.7.

8.7 Termination Expenses are in addition to compensation for Basic and
Additional Services, and include expenses which are directly attributable to
termination. Termination Expenses shall be computed as a percentage of the total
compensation for Basic Services and Additional Services earned to the time of
termination, as follows:

         .1     [Not used.]

         .2     Ten percent of the total compensation for Basic and Additional
                Services earned to date if termination occurs during the
                Schematic Design Phase; (provided the Owner has instructed the
                Architect to Proceed with Basic Services) or

         .3     Five percent of the total compensation for Basic and Additional
                Services earned to date if termination occurs during any
                subsequent phase.

                              BASIS OF COMPENSATION

The Owner shall compensate the Architect as follows:

11.1 AN INITIAL PAYMENT of Twenty-Three thousand and Two hundred and Fifty
Dollars ($ 23,250.00) shall be made upon execution of this Agreement and
credited to the Owner's account at final payment, (calculated at five percent
5.0% of $465,000.00 for planning).

11.2 BASIC COMPENSATION

11.2.1 FOR BASIC SERVICES, as described in Article 2, and any other services
included in Article 12 as part of Basic Services, Basic Compensation shall be
computed as follows: (Insert basis of compensation, including stipulated sums,
multiples or percentages, and identify phases to which particular methods of
compensation apply, if necessary.)

1. Fees for Professional Services for the Master Planning portion of the Project
shall be on a lump sum basis for Two Hundred and Ninety thousand dollars
($290,000.00) invoiced monthly based on progress,

2. Fees for Conceptual Design services for the Casino/Hotel portion of the
Project shall be on a lump sum basis for One Hundred and Seventy Five thousand
dollars ($175,000.00) invoiced monthly based on progress.

3. Basic Services for the Casino/Hotel work and any other uses selected during
the Master Planning phase is based on a percentage of total hard construction
cost for Basic Services derived from a Factor of 42 divided by the common
logarithm of the construction cost (CC) or:

Fee Percentage = 42/Log CC

A budgeted Construction Cost will be used at the outset of the project and will
be replaced by a Probable Construction Cost when the design can be estimated. It
will be adjusted again after a Construction Bid is determined and approved and
then become fixed.

Fees paid in 11.2.2 shall be credited in Basic Services to the Schematic Design
Phase if the Project should proceed. Additional portions of the Master Planning
fee in Section 11.2.1.1 may be credited to Basic Services to the Schematic
Design Phase if significant portions of the Master Plan are selected for Basic
Services within this Agreement by mutual agreement.

Upon completion of the Master Plan, both parties will review the uses selected
for development and determine the level of "theming" necessary to accomplish the
design. An additional "theming" fee for highly themed environments may be
appropriate. Highly themed environments refer to areas of the Project that
require additional attention by the Consultant team, over and above normal
design and construction and/or expertise by specialty consultants not typically
part of an architectural design team. Examples of highly themed environments may
include staged show components, water features, robotics, animation, advance
audio/visual treatment, artistic recreations etc.

For Professional Services (excluding expenses) of other base building
consultants in the design team other than normal structural HVAC, plumbing, fire
protection and electrical shall be by mutual approval and invoiced at one and
one fifth (1.20) times direct cost for assuming additional direction,
coordination of their deliverables, and accounting expenses. This charge will be
in lieu of a Management Fee to handle consultants not part of Basic Services or
multipliers for Reimbursable Expenses indicated in Section 11.4 herein. These
may include cost estimation, interior design services performed outside the
Architect's office, acoustical, graphic design, food and laundry services,
security, video/audio, elevatoring, wind tunnel, and any other specialty. This
multiplier specifically EXCLUDES site engineering services including Landscape
Architecture, Civil engineering, Geotechnical, Land Surveys and Traffic
consultants which are indicated herein in Section 11.4.1.

11.2.2 Where compensation is based on a stipulated sum or percentage of
Construction Cost, progress payments for Basic Services in each phase shall
total the following percentages of the total Basic Compensation payable:
(Insert additional phases as appropriate.)

program for the Project.

12.1.2 Provide Interior Design services for built-in items and finishes for all
public spaces (lobbies, corridors, etc.). Furniture and furnishings design can

utility patent rights, in and to selected furniture, fixtures and accessories
("FF&E Items") which are custom-designed by the Architect for the Project,
including, but not limited to, the right to commercially develop and market,
under the Architect's name or otherwise, derivative FF&E items of a
substantially similar design for non-competitive uses. The Architect agrees to

held legally responsible. Failure to provide such indemnification from the
General Contractor is not deemed to make the Owner in default of its
responsibilities under this Agreement.

12.7     DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

12.7.1 DISPUTES: In order to avoid litigation and to resolve any disputes as
amicably as possible, the parties agree that any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising
before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be resolved either (i)
through discussion between the parties pursuant to 12.7.2 or, (ii) if the
parties fail to resolve the dispute through such discussions and if agreed upon
by both parties, the dispute may be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to
12.7.3 or (iii) in the event the parties do not resolve the dispute through
either of such voluntary methods, then either party shall be entitled to bring
any available legal action. In the event of legal action between the parties,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable legal
fees and costs.

12.7.2 MEDIATION: Either party may commence this process by written notice to
the other describing the matter in dispute. In the next five (5) days following
such notice, the Owner and Architect's designees, shall meet and use their best
efforts to resolve the dispute through direct discussions and/or through
telephone conferences. If discussion between the parties does not resolve the
dispute. The Owner's designee shall notify the Chief of the Mississippi Band of
Choctaw Indians of the dispute, and the Chief will discuss the dispute with the
Architect's President. If, however, the parties are unable to reach agreement
within a fifteen (15) day period from the date of the first written notice of
dispute or such additional periods as they may agree, then either party may seek
to resolve the dispute pursuant to Section 12.7.3 below.

12.7.3 ARBITRATION: Upon written agreement of both parties, any claim, dispute
or other matter in question between the Owner and the Architect arising out of
or related to this Agreement may be submitted to binding Arbitration. Any such
agreement or consent to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable in the
Tribal Court of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.

         Unless the agreement or consent to arbitrate specifies otherwise, the
arbitration shall be conducted on the Tribal Trust Lands of the Mississippi Band
of Choctaw Indians. The Owner and the Architect shall agree on a single
arbitrator, who shall be independent from bot parties and shall be appointed to
resolve the dispute. If parties are unable to so agree on a single arbitrator,
each party shall select one independent arbitrator, each of whom thereafter
shall select a third arbitrator with expertise in the subject matter of the
dispute, and the three arbitrators so selected shall arbitrate the dispute.

         The arbitrator or arbitrators shall meet with the parties immediately
after his, her or their appointment to determine a schedule and the procedures
for arbitration, including whether and to what extent discovery of facts is
required, but recognizing that one the purposes of arbitration as a dispute
resolution process is to minimize the time and expense that would otherwise be
potentially incurred in judicial proceedings. The parties shall have the right
to participate in the arbitration hearing and may determine the most effective
and efficient method of presentation of their case, whether through live
testimony, written affidavits, or arguments of counsel or other representation
at the hearing. The parties may be represented by any person of their choice at
the arbitration proceedings.

         The cost of arbitration fees paid to the arbitrator or arbitrators
shall be shared equally by the parties. In addition, each party shall bear its
own cost and attorney's fees associated with its participation in the
arbitration. The arbitrators shall have the option to award the prevailing party
the recovery of its share of arbitration costs and fees if the arbitrator or
arbitrators determine that the losing party's case was without any substantial
merit so as to have been pursued in bad faith or without valid grounds.

                         THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

            2.1   LOANS-GENERAL.

                  (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
      Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through
      the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, each Lender
      shall, pro rata according to that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the then
      applicable Revolving Commitment, make Advances to the Borrower under the
      Revolving Commitment in such amounts as the Borrower may request that do
      not result in (i) the Outstanding Obligations being in excess of the
      aggregate then effective Commitments, or (ii) the Outstanding Obligations
      owed to that Lender under the Revolving Commitment being in excess of that
      Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. Subject to the
      limitations set forth herein, the Advances by each Lender under its Pro
      Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment may be prepaid without premium or
      penalty.

                  (b)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
      Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through
      the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, each Lender
      shall, pro rata according to that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the then
      applicable Tax Exempt Commitment, make Advances to the Borrower under the
      Tax Exempt Commitment in such amounts as the Borrower may request that do
      not result in (i) the Outstanding Obligations being in excess of the
      aggregate then effective Commitments, or (ii) the Outstanding Obligations
      owed to that Lender under the Tax Exempt Commitment being in excess of
      that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Tax Exempt Commitment. Subject to the
      limitations set forth herein, the Advances by each Lender under its Pro
      Rata Share of the Tax Exempt Commitment may be prepaid or repaid without
      premium or penalty, but no portion of the Loans under the Tax Exempt
      Commitment which is repaid may be reborrowed.

                  (c)   Subject to the next sentence, each Loan shall be made
      pursuant to a Request for Loan which shall specify the requested (i) date
      of such Loan, (ii) type of Loan, (iii) amount of such Loan, (iv) whether
      the requested Loan is under the Revolving Commitment or the Tax Exempt
      Commitment, (v) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the LIBOR Period for such
      Loan, and (vi) in the case of a Tax Exempt Loan, the Tax Exempt Period for
      such Loan. Unless the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute
      discretion, has notified the Borrower to the contrary, a Loan may be
      requested by telephone by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, in which
      case the Borrower shall confirm such request by promptly delivering a
      Request for Loan

                                      -39-

      in person or by telecopier conforming to the preceding sentence to the
      Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall incur no
      liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic request
      purportedly made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, and the
      Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Creditor from any loss,
      cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting.

                  (d)   Promptly following receipt of a Request for Loan, the
      Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or telecopier
      of the date and type of the Loan, any applicable LIBOR Period, and that
      Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan. Not later than 11:00 a.m., California
      local time, on the date specified for any Loan (which must be a Business
      Day), each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Loan in immediately
      available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the
      Administrative Agent's Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the
      applicable conditions set forth in Article 10, all Advances shall be
      credited on that date in immediately available funds to the Deposit
      Account for the Borrower.

                  (e)   Unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, each
      Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 which is not less than
      $5,000,000.

                  (f)   The Advances made by each Lender under its Pro Rata
      Share of the Revolving Commitment shall be evidenced by that Lender's
      Revolving Note. The Advances made by each Lender under its Pro Rata Share
      of the Tax Exempt Commitment shall be evidenced by that Lender's Tax
      Exempt Note.

                  (g)   A Request for Loan shall be irrevocable upon the
      Administrative Agent's first notification thereof.

                  (h)   If no Request for Loan (or telephonic request for Loan
      referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if applicable) has
      been made within the requisite notice periods set forth in Section 2.2 or
      2.3 prior to the end of the LIBOR Period for any LIBOR Loan, then on the
      last day of such LIBOR Period, such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically
      converted into a Base Rate Loan in the same amount.

                  (i)   If a Loan is to be made on the same date that another
      Loan is due and payable, the Borrower or the Lenders (as the case may be)
      shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent make available to the
      Administrative Agent the net amount of funds (giving effect to both such
      Loans) and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as
      if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such
      Loan.

            2.2   BASE RATE LOANS. Each request by the Borrower for a Base Rate

request for loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if
applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's
Office, not later than 9:00 a.m. California local time, on the date (which must
be a Business Day) of the requested Base Rate Loan. All Loans shall constitute
Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section
2.3 or Tax Exempt Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.

            2.3   LIBOR LOANS.

                  (a)   Each request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Loan shall be
      made pursuant to a Request for Loan (or telephonic or other request for
      Loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if applicable)
      received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's
      Office, not later than 9:00 a.m., California local time, at least three
      LIBOR Business Days before the first day of the applicable LIBOR Period.

                  (b)   On the date which is two LIBOR Business Days before the
      first day of the applicable LIBOR Period, the Administrative Agent shall
      confirm its determination of the applicable LIBOR (which determination
      shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall
      give notice of the same to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or
      telecopier.

                  (c)   Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite
      Lenders otherwise consent, no more than ten LIBOR Loans shall be
      outstanding at any one time.

                  (d)   No LIBOR Loan may be requested during the continuation
      of a Default or Event of Default.

                  (e)   Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
      fund any LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market.

            2.4   TAX EXEMPT LOANS.

                  (a)   Each request by the Borrower for a Tax Exempt Loan shall
      be made pursuant to a Request for Loan received by the Administrative
      Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m.,
      California local time, at least three LIBOR Business Days before the first
      day of the applicable Tax Exempt Period, which Request for Loan shall be

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

                  (b)   On the date which is two LIBOR Business Days before the
      first day of the applicable Tax Exempt Period, the Administrative Agent
      shall confirm its determination of the applicable Tax Exempt Rate (which
      determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and
      promptly shall give notice of the same to the Borrower.

                  (c)   Within two hours following its receipt of notice of the
      proposed Tax Exempt Rate for any Tax Exempt Loan, the Borrower shall
      notify the Administrative Agent if it accepts the proposed Tax Exempt
      Rate. If the proposed Tax Exempt Rate is accepted by the Borrower, the
      Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Lenders by telephone or
      telecopier of the Tax Exempt Rate and its acceptance by the Borrower. If
      the Tax Exempt Rate is not accepted within the aforementioned period, or
      is rejected, no Tax Exempt Loan will be made in relation thereto.

                  (d)   Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite
      Lenders otherwise consent, no more than four Tax Exempt Loans shall be
      outstanding at any one time.

                  (e)   No Tax Exempt Loan may be requested during the
      continuation of a Default or Event of Default.

                  (f)   Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
      fund any Tax Exempt Advance in any particular manner or in any particular
      money market.

            2.5   LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time
      and from time to time from the Closing Date through the Business Day
      immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue
      such Letters of Credit under the Revolving Commitment as the Borrower may
      request by a Request for Letter of Credit; PROVIDED that (i) giving effect
      to all such Letters of Credit, the Outstanding Obligations do not exceed
      the aggregate then applicable Commitments, (ii) the Outstanding
      Obligations owed to each Lender under the Revolving Commitment do not
      exceed that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, and (iii)
      the Aggregate Effective Amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit
      shall not exceed $10,000,000. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form
      acceptable to the Issuing Lender. Unless all the Lenders otherwise
      consent, no Letter of Credit shall have a term which exceeds one year or
      extends beyond the Maturity Date or which results in the sum of (i) the
      aggregate principal amount of all LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods
      ending after any Reduction Date, plus (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount
      of

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

      all Letters of Credit having expiration dates after that Reduction Date
      being in excess of the Revolving Commitment (after giving effect to any
      required Reductions thereof on that Reduction Date)

                  (b)   Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted to
      the Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at least five
      Business Days prior to the date upon which the related Letter of Credit is
      proposed to be issued. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
      Issuing Lender whether such Request for Letter of Credit, and the issuance
      of a Letter of Credit pursuant thereto, conforms to the requirements of
      this Agreement. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
      shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
      Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of the amount and terms thereof.

                  (c)   Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender
      shall be deemed to have purchased at par a pro rata participation in such
      Letter of Credit from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to that
      Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. Without limiting the
      scope and nature of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit,
      to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed by the
      Borrower for any payment required to be made by the Issuing Lender under
      any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Pro
      Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, pay the purchase price for such
      participation to the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent
      promptly upon demand therefor. The obligation of each Lender to so pay the
      participation purchase price to the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and
      unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of
      Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such payment of the purchase
      price shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
      to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the
      Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit together with interest as
      hereinafter provided.

                  (d)   the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender through the
      Administrative Agent an amount equal to any payment made by the Issuing
      Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit upon demand made by the
      Issuing Lender therefor, together with interest on such amount from the
      date of any payment made by the Issuing Lender at the Default Rate (unless
      the Borrower has made arrangements for the making of a Loan in the amount
      of such payment on the date thereof or had otherwise arranged for the
      timely reimbursement of such payment). The principal amount of any such
      payment shall be used to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the payment made
      by it under the Letter of Credit and, to the extent that the Lenders have
      not reimbursed the

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

      Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(c), the interest amount of any
      such payment shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender. Each Lender
      that has paid the participation purchase price to the Issuing Lender
      pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall thereupon acquire a pro rata
      participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Issuing
      Lender against the Borrower for reimbursement of principal and interest
      under this Section 2.5(d) and shall share, in accordance with that pro
      rata participation, in any principal payment made by the Borrower with
      respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by the Borrower
      (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid
      the participation purchase price to the Issuing Lender) with respect to
      such claim.

                  (e)   Subject to Article 10, the Borrower may request,
      pursuant to a Request for Loan, that Advances be made pursuant to Section
      2.1(a) to provide funds for the payment required by Section 2.5(d). The
      proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to
      reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

                  (f)   If the Borrower fails to make the payment required by
      Section 2.5(d) on a timely basis then, in lieu of the payment of the
      participation purchase price to the Issuing Lender under Section 2.5(c),
      the Issuing Lender may (but is not required to), without notice to or the
      consent of the Borrower, instruct the Administrative Agent to cause
      Advances to be made by the Lenders under their Pro Rata Shares of the
      Revolving Commitment in an aggregate amount equal to the amount paid by
      the Issuing Lender with respect to that Letter of Credit and, for this
      purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 10 shall not apply.
      The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender
      to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

                  (g)   The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment,
      renewal, or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in
      all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, PROVIDED
      that no new issuance fees shall be assessed except to the extent that the
      tenor or amount of the related Letter of Credit are thereby increased.

                  (h)   The obligation of the Borrower to pay to the Issuing
      Lender the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any
      Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable,
      subject only to performance by the Issuing Lender of its obligations to
      the Borrower under Uniform Commercial Code Section 75-5-109. Without
      limiting the foregoing, the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing
      Lender shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

                                      -44-

                        (i)   any lack of validity or enforceability of the

            instrument relating thereto;

                        (ii)  any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
            departure from the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other
            agreement or instrument relating thereto, with the consent of the
            Borrower;

                        (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or
            other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against the
            Issuing Lender (except with respect to that Letter of Credit), the
            Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of the Letter of
            Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may
            be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with the
            Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or
            instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

                        (iv)  any demand, statement, or any other document
            presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
            fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement
            therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long
            as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter
            of Credit;

                        (v)   payment by the Issuing Lender in good faith under
            the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any
            accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms
            of the Letter of Credit;

                        (vi)  the existence, character, quality, quantity,
            condition, packing, value or delivery of any Property purported to
            be represented by documents presented in connection with any Letter
            of Credit or any difference between any such Property and the
            character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such Property
            as described in such documents;

                        (vii) the time, place, manner, order or contents of
            shipments or deliveries of Property as described in documents
            presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or the existence,
            nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;

                        (viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any
            party issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

                        (ix)  any failure or delay in notice of shipments or
            arrival of any Property;

                        (x)   any error in the transmission of any message

            conditions or other causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender;

                        (xiii) so long as the Issuing Lender in good faith
            determines that the contract or document appears to comply with the
            terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or

            Credit; and

                        (xiv) where the Issuing Lender has acted in good faith

            whatsoever.

                  (i)   The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the protection
      accorded to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 12, MUTATIS
      MUTANDIS.

                  (j)   The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
      Credits, as published in its most current version by the International
      Chamber of Commerce, shall be deemed a part of this Section and shall

            2.6   SWING LINE. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date the
Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in such amounts as
the Borrower may request which do not result in (i) the Outstanding Obligations
being in excess of the aggregate then effective Commitments or (ii) the
Outstanding Obligations under the Revolving Commitment being in excess of the
Revolving Commitment, PROVIDED that (a) after giving effect to each Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (b) without
the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the
continuation of an Event of Default. The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
under this Section. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender,
borrowings under the Swing Line

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon
telephonic request by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower made to the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., California local time, on the
Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be
promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier), PROVIDED that if the requested
Swing Line Loan is to be credited to an account which is not with the Swing
Line Lender, the request must be submitted by 11:30 a.m., California local
time. Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line
Lender that, after giving effect to such request, (x) the Outstanding
Obligations will not exceed the aggregate then effective Commitments and (y)
the Outstanding Obligations under the Revolving Commitment will not exceed
the Revolving Commitment. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line
Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an
integral multiple of $100,000. If the Borrower instructs the Swing Line
Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the
amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line
Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., California local time,
on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business
Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of
the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a change therein under the
Swing Line.

                  (a)   Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating
      rate per annum equal to the Base Rate PLUS the Base Rate Margin (unless
      the Default Rate is then applicable under Section 3.9). Interest shall be
      payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified
      by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing
      Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for such
      interest. Interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account
      of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below).

                  (b)   The Swing Line Loans shall be payable within five
      Business Days after demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event
      on the Maturity Date or any earlier date when all other Revolving
      Obligations are due.

                  (c)   Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with
      Section 2.6(a), each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the
      Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that
      Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment TIMES the amount of
      the Swing Line Loan. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender through the
      Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share
      of the Revolving Commitment, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its
      purchase price

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

      therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The
      obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the
      Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (subject only to the
      making of a demand upon that Lender by the Swing Line Lender) and shall
      not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default;
      PROVIDED that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share
      of (i) Swing Line Loans to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in
      excess of $5,000,000 or to the extent that the SUM of the Indebtedness
      evidenced by the Notes PLUS the Aggregate Effective Amount of all
      outstanding Letters of Credit PLUS the Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the
      aggregate amount of the Commitments (as in effect on the date of the
      making of the related Swing Line Loan) and (ii) any Swing Line Loan made
      (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an
      Event of Default. Each Lender that has provided the purchase price due for
      its participation in Swing Line Loans to the Swing Line Lender shall
      thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment,
      in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against the Borrower for principal
      and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata
      participation, in any principal payment made by the Borrower with respect
      to such claim and in any interest payment made by the Borrower (but only
      with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing
      Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.

                  (d)   Upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line
      Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless the Borrower has made other
      arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line
      Outstandings to $0), the Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section
      2.1(a) sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this
      purpose, Section 2.1(e) shall not apply). In each case, the Administrative
      Agent shall automatically provide the respective Advances made by each
      Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then
      apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that the Borrower
      fails to request a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any
      such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without
      notice to or the consent of the Borrower, cause Advances to be made by the
      Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts which are sufficient to
      reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The conditions
      precedent set forth in Article 10 shall not apply to Advances to be made
      by the Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences. The proceeds of
      such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for
      application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

            2.7   VOLUNTARY REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. At any time following the
Golden Moon Completion Date, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and
from time to time, without penalty or charge, effective following at least three
Business Days' prior written notice by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in
aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 but not less
than $5,000,000, or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed
portion of either of the Commitments; PROVIDED that the Commitments may not be
so reduced below an amount equal to the SUM OF (i) the aggregate principal
amount outstanding under the Notes, PLUS (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit PLUS (c) the Swing Line Outstandings, in each
case as of the effective date of the reduction in the Commitments. The voluntary
reduction of the Commitments by the Borrower under this Section shall have no
effect upon the requirement of mandatory reductions thereof in accordance with
Section 2.8. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any
reduction or termination of the Commitments under this Section.

            2.8   MANDATORY REDUCTIONS OF COMMITMENTS. The Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced:

                  (a)   on each Reduction Date, by the Reduction Amount, with
      each such reduction to be applied first to the Revolving Commitment and,
      following the reduction of the Revolving Commitment to zero, to the Tax
      Exempt Commitment, PROVIDED that no reduction under this clause (a) shall
      require any reduction of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments
      to an amount which is less than $40,000,000; and

                  (b)   concurrently with each repayment of any Loan under the
      Tax Exempt Commitment, by the amount of such repayment.

            2.9   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S RIGHT TO ASSUME FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR
ADVANCES. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender
no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the proposed funding by the
Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of the total amount
of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower the corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made
funds available to the Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount
on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the

                                     -49-
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly
shall notify the Borrower who shall pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of
each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is
recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the daily
Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share of either Commitment.

            2.10  REALLOCATION OF COMMITMENTS. Provided that no Default or Event
of Default then exists, the Borrower may irrevocably reallocate the unutilized
portion of the Tax Exempt Commitment to the Revolving Commitment (but not from
the Revolving Commitment to the Tax Exempt Commitment), upon not less than five
Business Day's notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. Each such
reallocation shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and no more than two such reallocations may occur without the consent of the
Administrative Agent. Upon any such reallocation, (i) the portion of the Tax
Exempt Commitment so reallocated shall be deemed terminated, (ii) each Lender
having a Pro Rata Share of the portion of the Tax Exempt Commitment so
reallocated shall be deemed to have assumed a share of the Revolving Commitment
which is equal in dollars to the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Tax Exempt
Commitment so terminated, (iii) the Revolving Commitment shall be increased in
the amount of the reallocation, and (iv) the Pro Rata Shares of each Lender in
the Commitments shall be deemed adjusted to give effect to such termination and
increase.

                  (a)   Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily
      unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until
      payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set
      forth or provided for herein before and after any Default or Event of
      Default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before

      fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate PLUS the applicable Base
      Rate Margin. Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b)
      due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the
      corresponding change in the Base Rate.

                  (c)   Interest accrued on each LIBOR Loan under the Revolving
      Commitment which is for a term of three months or less shall be due and
      payable on the last day of the related LIBOR Period. Interest accrued on
      each other LIBOR Loan under the Revolving Commitment shall be due and
      payable on the date which is three months after the date such LIBOR Loan
      was made (and, in the event that all of the Lenders have approved a LIBOR
      Period of longer than six months, every three months thereafter through
      the last day of the LIBOR Period) and on the last day of the related LIBOR
      Period. EXCEPT as otherwise provided in Section 3.9, the unpaid principal

      and payable on the last day of the related Tax Exempt Period. EXCEPT as
      otherwise provided in Sections 3.9 and 3.17, the unpaid principal amount
      of any Tax Exempt Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
      the Tax Exempt Rate.

                  (e)   If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness evidenced
       by the Notes shall be payable as follows, and without set off,
      counterclaim or reduction of any kind:

                                     -51-
<PAGE>

                        (i)   the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding
            Obligations under the Revolving Commitment at any time exceed the
            then applicable Revolving Commitment (as reduced from time to time
            pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.8), shall be payable immediately;

                        (ii)  the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding
            Obligations under the Tax Exempt Commitment at any time exceed the
            then applicable Tax Exempt Commitment (as reduced from time to time
            pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.8), shall be payable immediately; and

                        (iii) the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes
            shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date.

                  (f)   The Notes may, at any time and from time to time,
      voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or
      penalty, EXCEPT that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under this
      Section (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $5,000,000, or
      in integral multiples of $1,000,000 which are in excess thereof, (ii) the
      Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment
      by 9:00 a.m., California local time, on the Business Day prior to the date
      of prepayment (which must be a Business Day) in the case of a Base Rate
      Loan, and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan or Tax Exempt Loan, three Business
      Days before the date of prepayment, which notice shall identify the date
      and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) each
      prepayment of principal on any LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by payment
      of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal
      paid, (iv) any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Loan
      on a day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period shall be
      subject to Section 3.8(e), and (v) any payment or prepayment of all or any
      part of any Tax Exempt Loan on a day other than the last day of the
      applicable Tax Exempt Period shall be subject to Section 3.17(c). Promptly
      following receipt of a notice of prepayment under clause (ii) above, the
      Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or telecopier
      (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier) of the date and
      amount thereof.

                  (g)   Each payment of principal by the Borrower hereunder
      shall be applied ratably to the Advances made to the Borrower which are
      then due and payable, PROVIDED that if the Revolving Obligations are then
      accelerated or have deemed to have been accelerated, each payment of
      principal hereunder shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Advances.

            3.2   LEAD ARRANGER'S FEES. On the date hereof, the Borrower shall
pay to Lead Arranger through the Administrative Agent certain fees in the amount

                                     -52-
<PAGE>

heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between the Borrower and the Lead
Arranger. These fees are for the services of the Lead Arranger in arranging the
credit facilities under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid and are
nonrefundable.

            3.3   UPFRONT FEES. On the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, upfront fees in an
amount equal to (a) that Lender's allocated Pro Rata Share of the Commitments
TIMES (b) a fee percentage based upon the amount of the offered commitments of
that Lender to the credit facilities described herein, as set forth in a letter
agreement of even date herewith among the Borrower, the Lead Arranger and Bank
of America. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by each
Lender under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. The upfront fees
paid to each Lender are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable.

            3.4   COMMITMENT FEES. From the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders:

                  (a)   pro rata according to their Pro Rata Shares of the
      Revolving Commitment, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in
      effect from time to time TIMES the actual daily amount by which the
      Revolving Commitment exceeds the SUM OF (i) the aggregate principal amount
      outstanding under the Revolving Notes (BUT NOT the Swing Line Outstandings
      except to the extent a Lender has provided the purchase price due for its
      participation in Swing Line Loans to the Swing Line Lender in Cash) PLUS
      (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount under all outstanding Letters of
      Credit; and

                  (b)   pro rata according to their Pro Rata Shares of the Tax
      Exempt Commitment, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in
      effect from time to time TIMES the actual daily amount by which the Tax
      Exempt Commitment exceeds the aggregate principal amount outstanding under
      the Tax Exempt Notes.

The commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly
Payment Date, on the Maturity Date and upon the date of any partial reduction or
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.8.

            3.5   LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. Concurrently with the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay a letter of credit issuance fee to the
Issuing Lender, for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, in an amount set
forth in a letter agreement between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender. Each
letter of credit issuance fee is nonrefundable. On each Quarterly Payment Date
and on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative
Agent in arrears, for the

                                     -53-
<PAGE>

ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving Commitment, letter of credit fees in an amount equal to the Letter
of Credit Fee per annum TIMES the average daily Aggregate Effective Amount of
all Letters of Credit for the period from the Closing Date or the most recent
Quarterly Payment Date. All letter of credit fees shall also be
non-refundable.

            3.6   ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. On the date hereof and annually
thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative
fee in such amounts as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between the
Borrower and Bank of America and the Lead Arranger. The administrative fee is
for the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as
Administrative Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The administrative
fee paid to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is
nonrefundable.

            3.7   INCREASED COMMITMENT COSTS. If any Lender shall determine in
good faith that the introduction after the date hereof of any applicable law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central
bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending
Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender, with any request, guideline
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law)
of any such central bank or other authority, affects or would affect the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's
or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such
Lender's desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of
such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a
consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten Business
Days after demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from
time to time as specified in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the
extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, PROVIDED
that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose
prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is
attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the
date of such demand. Each Lender's determination of such amounts shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any request for compensation by a
Lender under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been
determined that such an amount is due from the Borrower, a calculation of the
amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs or diminished rate
of return on capital have been incurred or sustained by the Lender.

            3.8   LIBOR COSTS AND RELATED MATTERS.

                  (a)   In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any
      Lender any reserve or comparable requirement (INCLUDING any emergency,
      supplemental or other reserve) with respect to the Eurodollar Obligations
      of that Lender, the Borrower shall pay that Lender within five Business
      Days after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
      (determined as though such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office had funded
      100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market) in respect
      of the imposition of such reserve requirements. The Lender's determination
      of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (b)   If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence
      of any Special Circumstance:

                        (i)   shall subject any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
            Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any
            LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its
            obligation to make LIBOR Advances, or shall change the basis of
            taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of
            or interest on any LIBOR Advance or any other amounts due under this
            Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes
            evidencing LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances,
            EXCLUDING (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by
            its overall net income, gross income or gross receipts, (ii)
            franchise taxes imposed by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
            subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its
            principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any
            jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
            "doing business," and (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes
            based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for
            any period with respect to which it has failed to provide the
            Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section
            13.23, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable
            Laws;

                        (ii)  shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
            reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof
            (INCLUDING any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the
            Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar
            requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
            or credit extended by, any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office);
            or

                        (iii) shall impose on any Lender or its Eurodollar
            Lending Office or the Designated Eurodollar Market any other
            condition

                                     -55-
<PAGE>

            affecting any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing
            LIBOR Advances, its obligation to make LIBOR Advances or this
            Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same;

      and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by
      such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
      Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Advance or in respect of any
      LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its
      obligation to make LIBOR Advances or reduces the amount of any sum
      received or receivable by such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office
      with respect to any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR
      Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances (assuming such Lender's
      Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the
      Designated Eurodollar Market), then, within five Business Days after
      demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
      Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
      will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction
      (determined as though such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office had funded
      100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market). A
      statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection and
      setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be
      paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (c)   If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence
      of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of
      any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its
      Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any
      LIBOR Advance or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to
      purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated
      Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon
      LIBOR, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such
      Lender's obligation to make LIBOR Advances shall be suspended for the
      duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent
      forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower.
      Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such
      Lender's LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon,
      automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (1) the
      last day of the LIBOR Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Advances if such
      Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Advances to
      such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
      fund and maintain such LIBOR Advances to such day(s), PROVIDED that in
      such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a
      prepayment fee under clause (e) of this Section. Each Lender agrees to

                                     -56-
<PAGE>

      endeavor promptly to notify the Borrower of any event of which it has
      actual knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will cause that
      Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees
      to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation
      will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith
      judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such
      Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth
      above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Loan or Advance,
      such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same
      period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base
      Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Advances has been
      suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative
      Agent and the Borrower of the cessation of the Special Eurodollar
      Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

                  (d)   If, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Loan:

                        (i)   the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
            that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar
            Market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the
            Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not
            being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for
            the applicable LIBOR Period; or

                        (ii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative
            Agent that LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does
            not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in
            Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount
            for the applicable LIBOR Period, or (ii) will not adequately and
            fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable
            LIBOR Advances;

      then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the
      Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent
      notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
      suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any
      future LIBOR Advances shall be suspended.

                  (e)   Upon payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Advance (OTHER
      THAN as the result of a conversion required under clause (c) of this
      Section) on a day other than the last day in the applicable LIBOR Period
      (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or
      otherwise), or upon the failure of the Borrower (for a reason other than
      the failure of a Lender to make an Advance) to borrow on the date or in
      the amount specified for a LIBOR Advance in any Request for Loan, or upon
      the failure of the Borrower

                                     -57-

<PAGE>

      to prepay a LIBOR Loan or Advance on the date specified in a notice of
      prepayment delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
      3.1(f), the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Lender within ten
      Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee or
      failure to prepay fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of
      that Lender's LIBOR Advance had been funded in the Designated
      Eurodollar Market), equal to the SUM OF:

                        (i)   the principal amount of the LIBOR Advance prepaid
            or not borrowed or prepaid, as the case may be, TIMES [the number of
            days from and including the date of prepayment or failure to borrow
            or prepay, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the
            applicable LIBOR Period], DIVIDED BY 360, TIMES the applicable
            Interest Differential (PROVIDED that the product of the foregoing
            formula must be a positive number); PLUS

                        (ii)  all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender
            reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to
            borrow.

      Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee, failure
      to borrow fee or failure to prepay fee payable under this Section shall be
      conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (f)   Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify the
      Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after
      the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant
      to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to designate a
      different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
      need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the
      good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
      disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender
      under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been
      determined that such an amount is due from the Borrower, a calculation of
      the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been
      incurred by the Lender.

                  (g)   If any Lender claims compensation or is excused from
      making or continuing LIBOR Loans or Advances under this Section, the
      Borrower may at any time, upon at least four (4) LIBOR Business Days'
      prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender and upon payment
      in full of the amounts provided for in this Section through the date of
      such payment PLUS any prepayment fee (subject to clause (c) of this
      Section) required by clause (e) of this Section, pay in full the affected
      LIBOR Advances of such

                                     -58-
<PAGE>

      Lender or request that such LIBOR Advances be converted to Base Rate
      Advances.

            3.9   DEFAULT RATE. If any installment of principal or interest or
any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, or at the option of the
Requisite Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the outstanding Loans, and any such delinquent fees, costs or other
amounts, shall thereafter bear interest at a rate which is 2% per annum in
excess of the otherwise applicable rate, and the outstanding Letters of Credit
shall thereafter accrue fees at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the
otherwise applicable fees, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be
compounded quarterly, on the last day of each calendar quarter, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws.

            3.10  COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Computation of interest on
Base Rate years shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual
number of days elapsed. All other interest and of all fees under this Agreement
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of
days elapsed. The Borrower acknowledges that such latter calculation method will
result in a higher yield to the Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or
366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day
on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum
amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or
under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes
which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall
instead be treated as a payment of principal.

            3.11  NON-BUSINESS DAYS. If any payment to be made by the Borrower
or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding
Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest
and fees.

            3.12  MANNER AND TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS.

                  (a)   Each payment hereunder (EXCEPT payments pursuant to
      Sections 3.7, 3.8, 13.3 and 13.11) or on the Notes or under any other Loan
      Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative
      Agent's Office, for the account of each of the Lenders or the
      Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds
      (by wire transfer,

                                     -59-
<PAGE>

      debit of an a ccount with the Administrative Agent or by other means
      acceptable to the Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00 a.m.
      (OTHER than payments with respect to Swing Line Loans, which must be
      paid directly to the Swing Line Lender and received by 3:00 p.m.),
      California local time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business
      Day). All payments received after such time, on any Business Day, shall
      be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The amount of
      all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
      each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to
      the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such
      payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m.,
      California local time, on a Business Day and not so made available to
      the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent
      shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the
      amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be
      made in lawful money of the United States of America.

                  (b)   Each payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall
      be made and applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by
      each Lender comprising such Loan.

                  (c)   Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record
      (which may be in tangible or electronic or other intangible form) of
      Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of
      its Notes and, subject to Section 12.6(g), such record shall, as against
      the Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep
      such a record shall not affect the Borrower's obligation to pay the
      Revolving Obligations.

            3.13  TAXES. Each payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or
any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made
free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or
other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable
authority, EXCLUDING (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by
overall net income, gross income or gross receipts, (ii) franchise taxes imposed
on any Lender by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in
which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending
Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
"doing business", (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross
income imposed by the United States of America that are not attributable to any
change in any Law or the interpretation or administration of any Law by any
Governmental Agency and (iv) any withholding tax or other taxes based on gross
income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to
which it has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form or forms

                                     -60-
<PAGE>

required by Section 13.23, to the extent such forms are then available under
applicable Laws (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that the Borrower or any
other Party is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding
on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement,
they shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the
relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender
as is necessary to result in that Lender's receiving a net after-tax amount
equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this
Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such
payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such
Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to the Borrower or the
relevant Party.

            3.14  FUNDING SOURCES. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in the
Designated Market or in any other particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

            3.15  FAILURE TO CHARGE NOT SUBSEQUENT WAIVER. Any decision by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest
(INCLUDING interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable
under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular
method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the
Administrative Agent's or such Lender's right to require full payment of any
interest (INCLUDING interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount
payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another
method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent
occasion.

            3.16  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S RIGHT TO ASSUME PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE
BY THE BORROWER. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by the Borrower
hereunder is due that the Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that the Borrower has
remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender
on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender's share of such assumed
payment. If the Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such
Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including
the date such amount was made available by the

                                     -61-
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

            3.17  CONCERNING THE TAX EXEMPT LOANS. In the event that any Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such Lender has:

                  (a)   received notice that the United States Internal Revenue
      Service, or any court of the United States of America, has determined that
      interest on any Tax Exempt Loan is includable in the gross income of the
      owner thereof for federal income tax purposes, or that any Tax Exempt Loan
      is not a qualified tax-exempt obligation for purposes of Section 265(b) of
      the Code; or

                  (b)   received an opinion of an attorney nationally recognized
      as knowledgeable in the issuance of tax-exempt obligations by states,
      local governments and Indian tribes that interest on any Tax Exempt Loan
      is includable in the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income
      tax purposes, or that any Tax Exempt Loan is not a qualified tax-exempt
      obligation for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code; THEN:

                        (x)   the interest rate borne by such Tax Exempt Loan
            shall be increased, retroactive to the date as of which such
            interest is so includable in gross income or the date as of which
            such Tax Exempt Loan is not regarded as a qualified tax-exempt
            obligation, as the case may be, to the Base Rate, PLUS the Base Rate
            Margin, PLUS 2.00% per annum; and

                        (y)   the Borrower shall, within thirty days of the
            receipt of such notice, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount
            equal to the difference between the interest actually paid on such
            Tax Exempt Loan and the amount of interest that would have been paid
            thereon had such Tax Exempt Loan borne interest at the rate
            described in the foregoing clause (x) from the date as of which such
            interest is so includable in gross income or the date as of which
            such Tax Exempt Loan is not regarded as a qualified tax-exempt
            obligation, as the case may be.

      The obligation of the Borrower to make the payment described in the
      foregoing clause (y) shall survive for five years following the date on
      which the Commitments are terminated and all Tax Exempt Loans are fully
      paid.

                  (c)   Upon payment or prepayment of any Tax Exempt Advance on
      a day other than the last day in the applicable Tax Exempt Period (whether
      voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or
      upon the

                                     -62-
<PAGE>

      failure of the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of a
      Lender to make an Advance) to borrow on the date or in the amount
      specified for a Tax Exempt Advance in any Request for Loan, or upon the
      failure of the Borrower to prepay a Tax Exempt Loan or Advance on the date
      specified in a notice of prepayment delivered to the Administrative Agent
      pursuant to Section 3.1(f), the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate
      Lender within ten Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to
      borrow fee or failure to prepay fee, as the case may be in an amount equal
      to all costs determinated by such Lender to be directly or indirectly
      attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure (determined as though
      100% of that Lender's Tax Exempt Advance had been funded in the Designated
      Eurodollar Market), together with all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
      the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure
      to borrow. Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment
      fee, failure to borrow fee or failure to prepay fee payable under this
      Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

            3.18  FEE DETERMINATION DETAIL. The Administrative Agent and any
Lender shall provide reasonable detail to the Borrower regarding the manner in
which the amount of any payment to the Creditors, or that Lender, under Article
3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment.

            3.19  SURVIVABILITY. All of the Borrower's obligations under
Sections 3.7 and 3.8 shall survive for ninety days following the date on which
the Commitments are terminated, all Revolving Obligations hereunder are fully
paid and all Letters of Credit have expired.

                                     -63-

                                   ARTICLE 4.
                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRIBE

            In order to induce the Creditors to enter into this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, the Tribe represents and warrants to the Creditors
that, as of the Closing Date (but not as of any date subsequent thereto):

            4.1   EXISTENCE AND QUALIFICATION; POWER; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The
Tribe is federally recognized as a Indian Tribe pursuant to a determination of
the Secretary of the Interior, and as an Indian Tribal government pursuant to
Sections 7701(a)(40)(A) and 7871(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26
U.S.C. Each of the Tribe and the Borrower is or will be qualified to issue
obligations the interest on which is exempt from gross income for federal income
tax purposes under Sections 103 and 7871(c) of the Code as of the issuance of
each Tax Exempt Loan. Each of the Tribe and the Borrower is a non-taxable entity
for purposes of federal income taxation under the Internal Revenue Code, Title
26 U.S.C., and the gaming revenues of the Borrower are exempt from federal
income taxation. To the extent required by Law, the Tribe and the Borrower are
qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified by reason of the location
or the conduct of its business. The Tribe and the Borrower each has all
requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease its
Properties, to execute and deliver each Loan Document and to perform the
Revolving Obligations. The Tribe and the Borrower each is in material compliance
with the terms of the Compact, the Gaming Ordinance and with all Laws and other
legal requirements applicable to its existence and business (including without
limitation, IGRA and all Gaming Laws), has obtained all authorizations,
consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all
filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any
of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the
transaction of its business, EXCEPT where the failure so to file, register,
qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

            4.2   AUTHORITY; COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS
AND GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. The execution, delivery and performance by the Tribe
and the Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all
necessary Tribal Council action and other action, and do not:

                  (a)   require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained
      of any enrolled tribal member or Tribal Council member, security holder or
      creditor;

                  (b)   violate or conflict with any provision of the
      Constitution, charter, bylaws or other governing documents of the Tribe or
      the Borrower;

                                     -64-

<PAGE>

                  (c)   result in or require the creation or imposition of any
      Lien or Right of Others upon or with respect to any Gaming Assets now
      owned or leased or hereafter acquired (except as described in Section
      7.8);

                  (d)   violate any Law or Requirement of Law, including any
      Gaming Law, applicable to the Tribe or the Borrower;

                  (e)   constitute a "transfer of an interest" or an "obligation
      incurred" that is avoidable by a trustee under Section 548 of the
      Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, or constitute a "fraudulent
      conveyance," "fraudulent obligation" or "fraudulent transfer" within the
      meanings of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act or Uniform Fraudulent
      Transfer Act, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction;

                  (f)   result in a material breach of or default under, or
      would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, constitute
      a material breach of or default under, or cause or permit the acceleration
      of any obligation owed under, any mortgage, indenture or loan or credit
      agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which the Tribe or the
      Borrower is a party or by which the Tribe or the Borrower or any of its
      Property is bound or affected; or

                  (g)   require any consent or approval of any Governmental
      Agency, or any notice to, registration or qualification with any
      Governmental Agency, not heretofore obtained or obtained concurrently with
      the Closing Date;

and neither the Tribe nor the Borrower is in violation of, or default under, any
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit
agreement described in Section 4.2(f), in any respect that constitutes a
Material Adverse Effect.

            4.3   NO GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS REQUIRED. No authorization, consent,
approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Agency is required to authorize or permit
under applicable Laws the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement by
the Borrower of the Loan Documents, in each case which has not been made or
obtained.

            4.4   GAMING ACTIVITIES OF THE TRIBE. All gaming activities of the
Tribe constituting or relating to the ownership and operation of gaming
facilities (including all Class II and Class III gaming activities within the
meaning of IGRA) and all activities of the Tribe constituting or relating to the
ownership of hotel, restaurant, entertainment and resort facilities, are
conducted on behalf of the Tribe by the Borrower and not through any agency or
instrumentality.

                                     -65-
<PAGE>

            4.5   TITLE TO PROPERTY. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has
good and valid title to all the Property reflected in the financial statements
described in Section 5.6 OTHER THAN immaterial items of Property subsequently
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business, free and clear of all
Liens and Rights of Others, other than as set forth in Schedule 7.8.

            4.6   [Intentionally Omitted]

            4.7   REAL PROPERTY. Schedules 4.7A and 4.7B set forth a summary
description of all real property owned by the Tribe and the Borrower which is
Gaming Assets, including the Real Property, which summary is accurate and
complete in all material respects. All real, mixed and personal property which
is operationally integral to the gaming activities of the Silver Star and the
Golden Moon, are located upon the real property described on Schedules 4.7A and
4.7B. The sites of the Golden Moon and the Silver Star described on Schedules
4.7A and 4.7B are on lands the fee title to which is held by the United States
of America in trust for the Tribe and over which the Tribe exercises
"governmental power" within the meaning of IGRA. Such lands have been held in
trust by the United States of America for the Tribe since prior to October 17,
1988 and constitute "Indian Lands" within the meaning of 25 U.S.C. Section
2703(4). These lands also constitute a part of the Mississippi Choctaw Indian
Reservation under Public Law 106-228, 106 Congress, Second Session, Act of June

filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any
of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the
transaction of its business, EXCEPT where the failure so to file, register,
qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

AND GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. The execution, delivery and performance by the Tribe
and the Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all

      meanings of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act or Uniform Fraudulent
      Transfer Act, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction;

                  (f)   result in a material breach of or default under, or
      would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, constitute
      a material breach of or default under, or cause or permit the acceleration
      of any obligation owed under, any mortgage, indenture or loan or credit
      agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which the Tribe or the
      Borrower is a party or by which the Tribe or the Borrower or any of its
      Property is bound or affected; or

                  (g)   require any consent or approval of any Governmental

approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Agency is required to authorize or permit
under applicable Laws the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement by

the Borrower and not through any agency or instrumentality.

            5.5   NO MANAGEMENT CONTRACT. To the best knowledge of the Borrower,
based upon the advice of its counsel, neither this Agreement nor the other Loan
Documents, taken individually or as a whole, constitute "management contracts"
or "management agreements" within the meaning of Section 12 of IGRA, or deprive
the Tribe or the Borrower of the sole proprietary interest and responsibility of
the conduct of gaming activity at Existing Casino Operations.

            5.6   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has furnished to the

Obligations existing as of the Closing Date which are not included as
liabilities on the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section
5.6 (whether or not the Borrower is described as the borrower or obligor with

or the Existing Casino Operations which is hereafter delivered in accordance
with Section 9.1 includes as liabilities of the Borrower, all then existing
Recourse Obligations, whether or not the Borrower is described as the borrower
or obligor with respect thereto. No Excluded Property is described as an asset
of the Existing Casino Operations on any balance sheet or other financial

Closing Date, the Borrower does not have any material liability or material
contingent liability not reflected or disclosed in the draft financial

of the date of each Advance made

                                     -70-
<PAGE>

following the Closing Date, no event or circumstance has occurred since the

4.7B. The site of the Golden Moon described on Schedule 4.7B is on lands the fee
title to which is held by the United States of America in trust for the Tribe
and over which the Tribe exercises "governmental power" within the meaning of
IGRA. Such lands have been held in trust by the United States of America for the

of any other Person to the extent that such conflict constitutes a Material
Adverse Effect.

            5.12  GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. Except for the Tribe's Ordinance 56,
the provisions of which have been complied with, the Borrower is not subject to
regulation under any Law limiting or regulating its ability to incur
Indebtedness for money borrowed, to grant Liens of the type contemplated by the
Loan Documents to secure its obligations with respect to such Indebtedness or to

the Borrower, the assumptions set forth in the Projections are reasonable and
consistent with each other and with all facts known to the Borrower and no
material assumption is omitted as a basis for the Projections, and the
Projections are reasonably based on such assumptions. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed as a representation, warranty or covenant that the
Projections in fact will be achieved.

            5.21  EMPLOYEE MATTERS. There is no strike or work stoppage in
existence or, to the Borrower's knowledge, threatened involving the Borrower
that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

third person at any time occupying or present on the Real Property at any time,
has disposed of, discharged, released or threatened the release of any material
amount of Hazardous Materials on, from or under such real property in any manner
that violates any Hazardous Materials Law. No condition exists that violates any

that would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Real Property and each portion thereof is not and has not been utilized by
the Borrower as a site for the manufacture of any Hazardous Materials and is in
compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws. To the
extent that any Hazardous Materials have been, or are, used, generated or stored

Property by the Borrower, such use, generation, storage and transportation have
been and are, in compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous
Materials Laws.

            5.24  ARBITRATION. To the extent that any dispute among the
parties to the Loan Documents is subject to adjudication by the Tribe's
Tribal Court, (i) the Regular Civil Division of the Mississippi Choctaw
Tribal Court established pursuant to Section 1-3-1(2) of the Mississippi
Choctaw Tribal Code has exclusive jurisdiction over all such matters, (ii)
such court lacks discretion to refuse to compel arbitration among the

                                     -73-
<PAGE>

parties to the dispute, and (iii) such court is obligated to honor and
enforce any award by the arbitrator, without review of any nature by such
court (except as Specified in Sections 11-15-23 or 11-15-25, Mississippi Code
Annotated 1972).

            5.25  LIENS. The Deposit Account Agreements and the Security

            5.27  THE TAX EXEMPT LOANS. Borrower reasonably expects that:

                  (a)   no less than 10 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
      Tax Exempt Notes will be spent for the governmental purposes of the issue
      within the 1-year period beginning on the date of the initial Tax Exempt
      Advance;

                  (b)   no less than 30 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
      Tax Exempt Notes will be spent for such purposes within the 2-year period
      beginning on such date;

                  (c)   no less than 60 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
      Tax Exempt Notes will be spent for such purposes within the 3-year period
      beginning on such date; and

                  (d)   no less than 85 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
      Tax Exempt Notes will be spent for such purposes within the 5-year period
      beginning on such date.

For purposes of the foregoing, "spendable proceeds" is intended to refer to all
proceeds of issuance of the Tax Exempt Notes. No Tax Exempt Loan will be a
"hedge bond" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code.

All facilities financed with proceeds of a Tax Exempt Loan will be owned and
maintained by the Tribe and the Borrower and available for use by members of the
general public on a substantially equal basis. Neither the Tribe nor the
Borrower shall

                                     -74-
<PAGE>

not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non-governmental
person relating to the use of any facilities financed with the proceeds of a
Tax Exempt Loan which would cause the Tax Exempt Loan to be considered a
"private activity bond" or "private loan bond" within the meaning of Section
141 of the Code. Substantially all (90% or more) of the net proceeds of each
Tax Exempt Loan will be used to finance or refinance the costs of facilities
which constitute "essential government functions" of the Borrower and the
Tribe.

            5.28  THE PROPOSED SENIOR FINANCING. Prior to the incurrence of the
Proposed Senior Financing (including any refinancings thereof), (a) provide the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with drafts of the instruments, documents
and agreements pursuant to which the same shall be issued, which instruments,
documents and agreements shall not contain terms which are, taken as a whole,
more restrictive upon the Borrower and the Tribe than those contained in the
Loan Documents, and (b) obtain the written approval of the Administrative Agent
of such instruments, documents and agreements, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

of the intellectual property of the Borrower associated with the Existing Casino

business, and not permit any waste of such Properties, EXCEPT that the failure
to maintain, preserve and protect a particular item of depreciable Property that

Borrower shall not constitute a violation of this covenant, and maintain its
ownership of all intellectual property and licenses thereof necessary for the
operation of Existing Casino Operations.

Property as is maintained as of the Closing Date as described in Schedule 6.3.

such qualification is necessary in view of its business or the ownership or
leasing of its Properties EXCEPT where the failure to preserve and maintain any
such authorizations, rights, franchises, privileges, consents, approvals,

regular business hours and as often as requested upon reasonable prior notice to
the Borrower and the Choctaw Gaming Commission (but not so as to unreasonably
interfere with the business of the Existing Casino Operations), permit the

that the good faith failure of the Borrower to comply with Contractual
Obligations involving an amount of money which is less than $1,000,000 or
Property having a value of less than $1,000,000 shall not constitute a breach of
this covenant for so long as the Borrower is attempting, through the exercise of

            6.10  USE OF PROCEEDS. Use the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of

of reimbursement of costs associated therewith advanced by the Tribe from

7.21(b)(ii))and demonstrated as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent), (ii) to provide for working capital availability for

occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Real Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Real Property or
any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,
transferability or use of the Real Property under any Hazardous Materials Laws,
PROVIDED that the good faith failure of the Borrower to comply with Hazardous
Materials Laws shall not constitute a breach of this covenant if (a) the
Borrower is diligently attempting to comply therewith, and (b) no Gaming Assets
having a value in excess of $1,000,000 is affected by such non-compliance or is
in jeopardy of seizure or closure as a result of such non-compliance.

each Tax Exempt Loan as not includable in the gross income of the Lenders for
federal income tax purposes, (b) each Tax Exempt Loan as not an "arbitrage bond"
under Section 148 of the Code, and (c) each Tax Exempt Loan as a "qualified tax
exempt obligation" under Section 265(b) of the Code.

            7.16  TAX EXEMPT NOTES.

                  (a)   NOT TO CAUSE INTEREST TO BECOME TAXABLE. Use, permit the
      use of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any
      property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be
      financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner that if
      made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the Tax Exempt
      Notes to fail to be excluded, pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code, from
      the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the
      Borrower receives a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
      failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the
      exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Tax Exempt Notes, the
      Borrower shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.

                  (b)   NO PRIVATE USE OR PRIVATE PAYMENTS. Except as would not
      cause the Tax Exempt Notes to become "private activity bonds" within the
      meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings
      thereunder:

                        (1)   fail to require that one or more state or local
            governmental agencies (including Indian tribal governments or
            subdivisions thereof) exclusively own, operate and possess all
            property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to
            be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds
            of the Tax Exempt Notes, or use or permit the use of such Gross
            Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms
            different than those applicable to the general public) or any
            property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds
            in any activity carried on by any Nongovernmental Person, UNLESS
            such use is solely as a member of the general public; and

                                     -85-

<PAGE>

                        (2)   permit the direct or indirect imposition of any
            charge or other payment on or by any person or entity who is treated
            as using Gross Proceeds of the Tax Exempt Notes or any property the
            acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed
            or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds, other
            than taxes of general application within the Tribe or interest
            earned on investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending
            application for their intended purposes.

The Borrower understands and acknowledges that "use" of Gross Proceeds may arise
by reason of an ownership, lease, or management arrangement with respect to the
financed property or, more generally, by reason of any arrangement that provides
to a Nongovernmental Person any rights, priorities or other special legal
entitlements with respect to any financed property different from those enjoyed
by members of the general public. The Borrower shall not permit any
Nongovernmental Person to lease any portion of any financed property, or to
provide services with respect to a function of any financed property unless the
arrangement for such services satisfies the guidelines set forth in Revenue
Procedure 97-13 (pertaining to "qualified management contracts"), unless the
Borrower shall first have obtained the opinion of Bond Counsel that such
arrangements will not adversely affect the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a)
of the Code of interest on the Tax Exempt Notes from the gross income of the
owners thereof.

                  (c)   NO PRIVATE LOAN. Except as would not cause the Tax
      Exempt Notes to become a "private activity bond" within the meaning of
      section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder,
      use or permit the use of Gross Proceeds to make or finance loans to any
      person or entity other than a state or local government (including Indian
      tribal governments or subdivisions thereof). For purposes of this clause
      (c), such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a person or
      entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross
      Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction that
      creates a debt for federal income tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service
      from such property is committed to such person or entity under a
      take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3) indirect
      benefits, or burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or
      any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds
      are otherwise transferred in a transaction that is the economic equivalent
      of a loan.

                  (d)   NOT TO INVEST AT HIGHER YIELD. Except as would not cause
      the Tax Exempt Notes to become an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of
      section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder,
      not at

                                     -86-
<PAGE>

      any time prior to the later of the final stated maturity of the Tax
      Exempt Notes or the date on which the last Tax Exempt Advance is finally
      repaid directly or indirectly invest or permit the investment of Gross
      Proceeds of such Issue in any Appropriate Investment, if as a result of
      such investment the Yield of any Appropriate Investment acquired with
      Gross Proceeds of that Issue, whether then held or previously disposed of,
      would materially exceed the Yield of the Tax Exempt Notes within the
      meaning of said section 148.

                  (e)   NO FEDERAL GUARANTEE. Except to the extent permitted by
      section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder,
      take or omit to take, or permit, any action that would cause the Tax
      Exempt Notes to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section
      149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder.

                  (f)   INFORMATION REPORT. Fail to timely file or cause to be

            on its books of account separately and apart from all other funds
            (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) or fail to
            retain all records of accounting for at least six years after the
            day on which the last Tax Exempt Advance is repaid. However, to the
            extent permitted by Law and this Agreement, the Borrower may
            commingle Gross Proceeds of any Issue with other money of the
            Borrower, PROVIDED THAT the Borrower separately accounts for each
            receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds of that Issue and the
            obligations acquired therewith.

                        (2)   Not less frequently than each Computation Date
            with respect to each Issue, fail to calculate the Rebatable Amount
            in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and
            the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, which the Borrower shall
            maintain with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the
            issuance of the Issue until six years after the final Computation
            Date in respect of that Issue.

            the amounts as are or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code

            is or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax

      enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to
      the United States of America pursuant to clause (f) of this Section with
      respect to such Issue because such transaction results in a smaller profit
      or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at

      to either party.

                  (i)   ELECTIONS. Fail to designate an appropriate officer of

      which would (i) increase the overall Approved Budget to amount which is in
      excess of $325,000,000, (ii) result in any change in the scope of the

                  (d)   Purchase or contract for any materials, equipment,
      furnishings, fixtures or articles of personal property to be placed or
      installed on the Golden Moon Project under any security agreement or other
      agreement where the seller reserves or purports to reserve title or the
      right of removal or repossession (EXCEPT for such reservations as may
      arise solely by operation of Law), or the right to consider such materials
      personal property after their incorporation in the work of construction,
      unless the Administrative Agent in each instance has authorized the
      Borrower to do so in writing.

                  (e)   Fail to promptly pay prior to delinquency (subject to
      applicable retentions) or otherwise discharge all claims and Liens for
      labor done and materials and services furnished in connection with the

            7.20  CONSTRUCTION PLANS. From time to time following the Closing
Date, Borrower shall (a) provide the Construction Consultant with updated drafts
of the Preliminary Plans, and (b) shall consult with the Administrative Agent
and the Construction Consultant with respect thereto. Following the completion
by the Construction Consultant of their analysis of the Preliminary Plans and
their feasibility in the context of the Approved Budget, the Borrower shall
incorporate all reasonable suggestions, if any, of the Construction Consultant,
and shall resubmit the Preliminary Plans to the Construction Consultant and the
Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the
Construction Consultant, determines that the proposed construction plans are
feasible, provide for the amenities described in Schedule 1.1B, and may be
completed for the Approved Budget, the Administrative Agent will designate such
plans so submitted as the "Approved Plans" for the construction of the Golden
Moon Project. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative
Agent, after consultation with the Construction Consultant, shall not
unreasonably refuse to provide such approval and designation or delay the same.
The Approved Plans may be amended from time to time by the Borrower following
such approval and designation, provided that Borrower gives prior written notice
to the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant together with the
proposed amendment and that such proposed amendment would not result in a
violation of Section 7.19.

            7.21  THE PROJECT DISBURSEMENT ACCOUNT.

                  (a)   It is acknowledged by the parties hereto, that prior to
      the Closing Date, (i) the Borrower has expended approximately $8,500,000
      in connection with the design, development and construction of the Golden
      Moon Project, and (ii) the Tribe has advanced for the account of the
      Borrower an additional amount of approximately $8,000,000 for costs
      associated with the design, development and construction of the Golden
      Moon Project.

                  (b)   Borrower agrees that it shall establish the Project
      Disbursement Account pursuant to a Deposit Account Agreement entered into
      with Trustmark or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to
      the Administrative Agent and that it shall:

                        (i)   deposit cash derived from Silver Star revenues
            into the Project Disbursement Account from time to time in the
            amounts which are required so that the cumulative amount deposited
            under this clause (i) is at all times equal to:

                        (A)   $20,200,000 MINUS the amount of all costs
                  provided for in the Approved Budget paid out of funds of the
                  Silver Star prior to the Closing Date;

                                     -91-
<PAGE>

                   MULTIPLIED BY a fraction equal to:

                        (B)   the integral number of months which have then
                   occurred since February 1, 2001, over 18 months.

                        (ii)  on or before February 28, 2001, cause the Tribe to
            deposit cash into the Project Disbursement Account in an amount
            equal to $33,700,000 MINUS the amount of all costs provided for in
            the Approved Budget which are theretofore advanced by the Tribe for
            the account of the Borrower;

      Borrower shall provide a written summary and calculation of the amounts so
      advanced by the Tribe and by the Borrower out of Silver Star revenues
      which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

                  (c)   Borrower agrees that, concurrently with the consummation
      of the Permitted Senior Financing it shall:

                        (i)   immediately reduce the outstanding principal
            balance of the Loans under the Revolving Loan Agreement to zero;

                        (ii)  deposit any remaining net cash proceeds of the
            Proposed Senior Financing into the Project Disbursement Account or,
            to the extent required by the terms of the Proposed Senior
            Financing, into the Senior Financing Account, PROVIDED in the latter
            case that there shall be no restrictions upon the disbursement of
            the proceeds of the Proposed Senior Financing from the Senior
            Financing Account which are not reasonably acceptable to the
            Administrative Agent; and

                        (iii) refrain from requesting any new Loans hereunder
            unless and until the entire amount of the Proposed Senior Financing
            (whether the same has been deposited into the Project Disbursement
            Account, the Senior Financing Account, or otherwise) has been
            expended or the Golden Moon Completion Date has occurred.

                  (d)   Borrower agrees that it shall not use or expend any
      funds now or hereafter deposited in the Project Disbursement Account for
      any purpose other than (i) the actual costs of design, development and
      construction of the Golden Moon Project contemplated by the Approved
      Budget, and (ii) transactional expenses associated with the transactions
      contemplated to occur on the Closing Date and the Proposed Senior
      Financing unless and until the Completion Date has occurred.

                         RECOURSE COVENANTS OF THE TRIBE

            So long as any Advance remains unpaid, any Letter of Credit remains
outstanding, or any other Revolving Obligation remains unpaid or unperformed, or
any portion of the Commitments remains in force, the Tribe shall not, and shall
not permit the Borrower to, unless the Administrative Agent (with the approval

Agent from Available Cash Flow all payments of principal, interest, fees and
other amounts payable to the Creditors under the Loan Documents.

                                     -93-
<PAGE>

      adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
      PROVIDED that this clause (a) shall not be construed to restrict the
      ability of the Tribe to amend or modify the Constitution except to the
      extent that any such amendment or modification would have a negative
      economic impact upon the Existing Casino Operations or otherwise have a
      Material Adverse Effect; or

                  (b)   In any event, consent to any amendment, modification, or

      in any manner, with any right or remedy of the Creditors, the Revolving
      Obligations of the Tribe or the Borrower under this Agreement or the other
      Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that any such tribal Law
      which is adopted, enacted, promulgated or otherwise placed into effect
      without the consent of all of the Lenders shall, with respect to the Loan
      Documents, the rights and remedies of the Creditors thereunder, and the
      Revolving Obligations, be void and of no effect); or

                  (b)   Demand, impose or receive any tax, charge, assessment,
      fee or other imposition (except as specifically contemplated by Section
      7.5) or impose any regulatory or licensing requirement (EXCEPT as provided
      in the Gaming Ordinance), against the Existing Casino Operations, their

      provided that the rate and scope of such taxes shall not be more onerous
      (taken as a whole) than those which may be imposed by the State of

      jurisdiction, (iii) fees imposed on the Tribe by the Commission under
      IGRA, (iv) Enterprise Administrative Fees, and (v) assessments equal to

                  (b)   Exercise, or permit any of the Tribe's representatives,

      have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Creditors under the
      Loan Documents.

            8.11  IMPAIRMENT OF CONTRACTS. The Tribe stipulates and agrees that
any action taken in violation of Sections 8.6, 8.7 or 8.10 would deprive the
Lenders of a property right without due process in a manner which would violate
the Indian Civil Rights Act, 25 U.S.C. 1302.

      future Excluded Obligations of $10,000,000 or more, on its part to be
      paid, when due (or within any stated grace period), whether at the stated
      maturity, upon acceleration, by reason of required prepayment or otherwise
      or (ii) the Borrower or the Tribe fails to perform or observe any other
      term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed, or
      suffers any event to occur, in connection with any present or future
      indebtedness for borrowed money of $10,000,000 or more which constitutes
      Recourse Obligations, or of any guaranty by the Borrower or the Tribe of
      present or future indebtedness for borrowed money of $10,000,000 or more
      which constitutes Recourse Obligations, if as a result of such failure or

      full force and effect or is declared by the Tribe's tribal court or any
      other court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, invalid or
      unenforceable in any respect which, in any such event in the opinion of
      the Requisite Lenders, is materially adverse to the interests of the
      Lenders; or the Borrower or the Tribe denies that it has any or further
      liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke,
      terminate or rescind the same or any provision thereof; or

                  (j)   Any event occurs which gives the holder or holders of
      any Subordinated Obligation (or an agent or trustee on its or their

      holder of, Subordinated Obligations breaches any subordination provision
      applicable to such Subordinated Obligations; or

      of competent jurisdiction that any Subordinated Obligation is not
      subordinated in accordance with its terms to the Revolving Obligations; or

                  (l)   A judgment against the Tribe or the Borrower is entered
      for the payment of money in excess of $10,000,000 in excess of the amount

      and, absent procurement of a stay of execution, such judgment remains
      unbonded or unsatisfied for thirty calendar days after the date of entry
      of judgment, or in any event later than five days prior to the date of any
      proposed sale thereunder; or

                  (m)   The Tribe or the Borrower institutes or consents to any
      proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to it or to all or any part
      of its Property, or is unable or admits in writing its inability to pay
      its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
      creditors; or applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver,
      trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar
      officer for it or for all or any part of its Property; or any receiver,
      trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar
      officer is appointed without the application or consent of the Tribe or
      the Borrower and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for
      sixty calendar days; or any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating
      to the Tribe or the Borrower or to all or any part of its Property is
      instituted without its consent and continues undismissed or unstayed for
      sixty calendar days; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or
      execution or similar process is issued or levied against all or any
      material part of the Gaming Assets and is not legally exempt from bond,
      released, vacated or fully bonded within sixty calendar days after its
      issue or levy; or

                  (n)   The Tribe at any time ceases to be a federally

<PAGE>

                  (q)   The occurrence of any event or circumstance which
      results in the failure of any material portion of the Silver Star (or,
      following the Completion Date, the Golden Moon) being open to conduct
      Class III gaming activities for any reason or which results in the
      prohibition of conduct of Class III gaming activities at Silver Star (or,
      following the Completion Date, the Golden Moon), in each case for a period
      in excess of five consecutive days, PROVIDED THAT no such failure which
      arises solely as a result of a Force Majeure Event shall constitute an
      Event of Default provided that the business interruption insurance
      maintained by Borrower provides (subject to customary applicable
      deductibles), complete coverage for Borrower's lost income during the
      pendency of such Force Majeure Event;

                  (r)   Any Material Adverse Effect occurs; or

                  (s)   Any Change in Control occurs which has not been approved
      in writing by the Requisite Lenders.

            11.2  REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Without limiting any other
rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement, or the Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in
equity, or otherwise:

                  (a)   Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any
      Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section
      11.1(m):

                        (i)   the Commitments to make Advances, the obligation
            of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, the obligation of
            the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and all other
            obligations of the Creditors and all rights of the Borrower and any
            other Parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without
            notice to or demand upon the Borrower which are expressly waived by
            the Borrower, EXCEPT that all of the Lenders or the Requisite
            Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 13.2) may
            waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms
            and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as
            the case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and such other
            obligations and rights and make further Advances, and cause the
            Issuing Lender to issue further Letters of Credit which waiver or
            determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all
            the Lenders;

                        (ii)  the Issuing Lender may, with the approval of the
            Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite Lenders, demand
            immediate payment by the Borrower of an amount equal to the
            aggregate

                                     -108-
<PAGE>

            amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held by the
            Issuing Lender as cash collateral hereunder; and

                        (iii) the Requisite Lenders may request the
            Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon
            shall, terminate the Commitments and declare all or any part of the
            unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid
            thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be
            forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be
            forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of
            dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are
            expressly waived by the Borrower.

                  (b)   Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
      Section 11.1(m):

                        (i)   the Commitments to make Advances, the obligation
            of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, the obligation of
            the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and all other
            obligations of the Creditors and all rights of the Borrower and any
            other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without
            notice to or demand upon the Borrower, which are expressly waived by
            the Borrower, EXCEPT that all of the Lenders may waive the Event of
            Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions
            satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and
            such other obligations and rights and make further Advances and to
            cause the Issuing Lender to issue further Letters of Credit, which
            determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon,
            all the Lenders;

                        (ii)  an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
            outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable
            to the Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon the Borrower,
            which are expressly waived by the Borrower, to be held by the
            Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as
            collateral hereunder; and

                        (iii) the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest
            accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the
            Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest,
            presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any
            kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower.

                  (c)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
      Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, without notice or demand upon
      the

                                     -109-
<PAGE>

      Borrower, which are expressly waived by the Borrower, may proceed in
      accordance with applicable Laws (but only with the consent of the
      Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and
      remedies under the Loan Documents against the Borrower and any other
      Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or
      equity. Without limitation upon the foregoing, if any Event of Default
      occurs before the Golden Moon Completion Date, the Administrative Agent
      shall have the right (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Laws)
      in the sole discretion of the Requisite Lenders to enter and take
      possession of the Golden Moon Project, whether in person, by agent or
      by court-appointed receiver, and to take any and all actions which the
      Administrative Agent in its sole discretion after consultation with the
      Lenders may consider necessary to complete construction of the Golden
      Moon Project, including making changes in the Plans, work or materials
      and entering into, modifying or terminating any contractual
      arrangements, all subject to the Administrative Agent's and the
      Lenders' right at any time to discontinue any work without liability.
      If the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders choose to
      complete the Golden Moon Project, neither the Administrative Agent nor
      the Lenders shall assume any liability to the Borrower or any other
      Person for completing the Golden Moon Project, or for the manner or
      quality of construction of the Golden Moon Project, and the Tribe and
      the Borrower each expressly waives any such liability not associated
      with the negligence and willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent
      or the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent exercises any of the rights
      or remedies provided in this paragraph on behalf of the Lenders, that
      exercise shall not make the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or
      cause the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be deemed to be, a
      partner or joint venturer of the Borrower or the Tribe. The
      Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may choose to complete
      construction in its own name. All sums which are expended by the
      Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in completing construction
      shall be considered to have been disbursed to the Borrower and shall be
      secured by the Collateral; any sums of principal shall be considered to
      be additional Loans to the Borrower bearing interest at the Default
      Rate, and shall be secured by the Collateral. For these purposes the
      Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may reallocate any line
      item or cost category of the Approved Budget.

                  (d)   The order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and
      remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders
      in their sole discretion, and all payments received after the occurrence
      of any Default or Event of Default by the Administrative Agent and the
      Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses
      (including attorneys' fees and disbursements payable pursuant to Section
      13.3) of the Administrative Agent, acting as Administrative Agent, and of
      the Lenders, and

                                     -110-
<PAGE>

      thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that
      the aggregate Revolving Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan
      Documents bear to the aggregate Revolving Obligations owed under the
      Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among
      the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the
      purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the
      Revolving Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
      payments shall be applied FIRST, to the costs and expenses of the
      Administrative Agent, acting as the Administrative Agent, and the
      Lenders, as set forth above, SECOND, to the payment of accrued and
      unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date
      of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the
      accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and
      THIRD, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and
      fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the
      Loan Documents. No application of payments will cure any Event of
      Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts
      payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued
      exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder
      or at law or in equity.

                                  ARTICLE 12.
                THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

            12.1  APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental,
as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and
authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing
of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as
trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose
and, EXCEPT as specifically set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an
administrative and ministerial capacity. The Administrative Agent is the Agent
of the Lenders only and do not assume any agency relationship with the Borrower
or the Tribe, express or implied.

            12.2  BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITH THE TRIBE AND THE BORROWER. Bank of
America (and any successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it was not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" includes
Bank of America in its individual capacity. Each Lender (including Bank of
America and any successor Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust
or other business with the Tribe or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Bank
of America may engage in these activities in the same manner as the other
Lenders as if it was not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders. Bank of America (and any successor
Administrative Agent) need not account to any other Lender for any monies
received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative
Agent, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary, trust or other
special relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

            12.3  PROPORTIONATE INTEREST OF THE LENDERS IN ANY COLLATERAL. The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance
with the Loan Documents any such Collateral or interests therein. Subject to the
Creditors' rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder
(INCLUDING attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services),
each Lender shall have an interest in any Collateral or interests therein in the
same proportions that the aggregate Revolving Obligations owed such Lender under
the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Revolving Obligations owed under the
Loan Documents to all the Lenders,

                                     -112-
<PAGE>

without priority or preference among the Lenders, EXCEPT that Revolving
Obligations owed to any Lender under a Secured Swap Agreement shall be
secured on a PARI PASSU basis with all other Revolving Obligations up to an
amount equal to the Administrative Agent's then customary credit risk factor
for Swap Agreements times the notional amount of Indebtedness covered by such
Secured Swap Agreement and shall be secured on a subordinate basis as to
amounts in excess of such amount.

            12.4  LENDERS' CREDIT DECISIONS. Each Lender agrees that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other
Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon
information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Tribe and the Borrower and
upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents,
employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender,
continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or
not acting under the Loan Documents.

            12.5  ACTION BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

                  (a)   The Administrative Agent may assume that no Default or
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative
      Agent has received notice from the Borrower stating the nature of the
      Default or Event of Default or has received notice from a Lender stating
      the nature of the Default or Event of Default and that such Lender
      considers the Default or Event of Default to have occurred and to be
      continuing.

                  (b)   The Administrative Agent has only those obligations
      under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

                  (c)   EXCEPT for any obligation expressly set forth in the
      Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent
      may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not
      act, EXCEPT that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not
      act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders,
      to the extent required by Section 13.2) and those instructions shall be
      binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, PROVIDED that
      the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do
      so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Laws or would
      result, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk
      of liability to the Administrative Agent.

                                     -113-

<PAGE>

                  (d)   If the Administrative Agent has received a notice
      specified in clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall give notice
      thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of
      the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by
      Section 13.2), PROVIDED that the Administrative Agent shall not be
      required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan
      Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the judgment of the
      Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the
      Administrative Agent, and EXCEPT that if the Requisite Lenders (or all the
      Lenders, if required under Section 13.2) fail, for five Business Days
      after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the
      Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole
      discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of
      the interests of the Lenders, until such time as it receives such a notice
      from the Requisite Lenders.

                  (e)   The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any
      Lender for acting as instructed by the Requisite Lenders, or for
      refraining from acting, if so instructed by the Requisite Lenders (or, in
      each case, all the Lenders, if required under Section 13.2),
      notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

            12.6  LIABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall
be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with
the Loan Documents, EXCEPT for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors,
officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

                  (a)   May treat each Lender identified in its records as the
      owner of its Pro Rata Share reflected in such records until the
      Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer
      thereof.

                  (b)   May consult with legal counsel (INCLUDING in-house legal
      counsel), accountants (INCLUDING in-house accountants) and other
      professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel,
      accountants or other professionals or experts for the Tribe, the Borrower
      or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
      by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel,
      accountants or other professionals or experts.

                  (c)   Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
      statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or
      in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or
      oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

                                     -114-
<PAGE>

                  (d)   EXCEPT to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan
      Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or
      observance by the Tribe, the Borrower or any other Party of any of the
      terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect
      any Collateral or the Property, books or records of the Tribe or the
      Borrower.

                  (e)   Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due
      execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness,
      sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing
      furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any collateral.

                  (f)   Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in
      reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement,
      request or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and
      signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

                  (g)   Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error
      in computing any amount paid or payable by the Borrower or any Affiliate
      thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender
      under any Loan Document, INCLUDING, without limitation, principal,
      interest, Advances and other amounts; PROVIDED that, promptly upon
      discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the
      Lenders and (to the extent applicable) the Borrower or its Affiliates
      shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to
      restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the
      error not occurred.

            12.7  INDEMNIFICATION. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with
its combined Pro Rata Shares (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in
accordance with its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by
the Notes (if the Commitments have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and
attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (INCLUDING reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or
them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than
losses incurred by reason of the failure of the Borrower to pay the indebtedness
represented by the Loan Documents) or any action taken or not taken by it as
Administrative Agent thereunder, EXCEPT such as result from its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each
Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender's
ratable share of any cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment,
waiver, restructuring,

                                     -115-

reorganization (INCLUDING a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or
attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents.

            12.8  SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent may,
and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative
Agent (i) upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Lenders or (ii) if the
Administrative Agent determines that for it to continue as Administrative Agent
would result in a conflict of interest affecting the Administrative Agent, or
would create an unacceptable risk of significant liability of the Administrative
Agent to a third party, or would otherwise be inadvisable under prevailing
standards of banking prudence, at any time, and effective immediately upon
written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent so
resigns, (a) the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative
Agent, who must be from among the Lenders (and reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower unless an Event of Default exists), PROVIDED that any resigning
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent from among the Lenders, subject to acceptance of appointment by that
successor Administrative Agent, if the Requisite Lenders have not appointed a
successor Administrative Agent within 30 days after the date the resigning
Administrative Agent gave notice of resignation; (b) upon a successor's
acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent, the successor will thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the resigning Administrative Agent or the removed Administrative Agent; and
(c) upon the effectiveness of any resignation, the resigning Administrative
Agent thereupon will be discharged from its duties and obligations thereafter
arising under the Loan Documents other than obligations arising as a result of
any action or inaction of the resigning Administrative Agent prior to the
effectiveness of such resignation.

            12.9  PERFORMANCE OF CONDITIONS. For the purpose of determining
fulfillment by the Tribe and the Borrower of conditions precedent specified in
Section 10.1 only, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, and
approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with each document or other matter sent
by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or
satisfaction, or required under Article 9 to be consented to, or approved by or
acceptable or satisfactory to, that Lender, unless an officer of the
Administrative Agent who is responsible for the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents shall have received written notice from that Lender prior to the
making of the requested Loan specifying its objection thereto and either (i)
such objection shall not have been withdrawn by written notice to the
Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any condition to the making of a
Loan, that Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent that
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Loan.

            12.10 THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. Each of the
Lenders hereby authorizes the execution, delivery and performance of the
Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement by the Administrative Agent on its
behalf, and appoints the Collateral Agent to serve in its capacity as collateral
agent under the Collateral Documents for the various Secured Creditors referred
to in the Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement. Without limitation upon
the terms of the Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to the protections, indemnifications and exculpations
afforded to the Administrative Agent under this Article 12, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

            12.11 NO OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRIBE OR THE BORROWER. Nothing contained
in this Article 12 shall be deemed to impose upon the Tribe or the Borrower any
obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative
Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement,
and neither the Tribe nor the Borrower shall have any liability to the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            13.1  CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; NO WAIVER. The rights, powers, privileges
and remedies of the Creditors provided herein and in the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy
provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in
exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be,
a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power,
privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any
other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 10
hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Creditors and may be waived in
whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan
without prejudicing the Creditors' right to assert them in whole or in part in
respect of any other Loan.

            13.2  AMENDMENTS; CONSENTS. No amendment, modification, supplement,
extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any
departure by the Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be
effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the approval
in writing of the Requisite Lenders, and then only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the
Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent

<PAGE>

                  (d)   To amend or modify any provision of this Agreement in a
      manner which materially and adversely affects the Administrative Agent
      without its written consent;

                  (e)   To amend or modify any provision of this Agreement that
      expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant
to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all of the
Creditors.

            13.3  COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. The Borrower shall pay on demand
the reasonable costs and expenses of (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lead
Arranger in connection with the negotiation, preparation, closing, execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, and in the syndication thereof, including
without limitation, the reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of
Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP and Dorsey & Whitney, LLP and the
allocated cost of any internal counsel to the Administrative Agent, (b) the
Administrative Agent, in connection with each amendment executed when no Default
or Event of Default exists, and (c) each of the Creditors in connection with

connection with the monitoring services provided by the Construction Consultant

Agent and the Borrower). The Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and
other taxes (other than income or gross receipts taxes generally applicable to
banks) and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be
payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or
thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto,
and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other
expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay
any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or
incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Revolving
Obligations. Any amount payable to the

                                     -119-
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section shall bear interest at
the Default Rate.

            13.4  NATURE OF THE LENDERS' OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or
thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with
the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. Each Lender's obligation to make
any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several. A
default by any Lender will not increase the percentage of the Commitments
attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires,
assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of
any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so.

            13.5  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or
more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans
and the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and have been or will be
relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any
investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

            13.6  NOTICES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan
Documents (a) all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be
in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, delivered or sent by
recognized overnight courier service, to the appropriate party at the address
set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan
Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may
be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan
Document in accordance with this Section; and (b) any notice, request, demand,
direction or other communication given by telecopier, must be confirmed within
48 hours by letter mailed or delivered to the appropriate party at its
respective address. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document,
if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or
permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the
earlier of receipt or the third Business Day after deposit in the United States
mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or
cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by
telex or telecopier, when sent; or if given by personal delivery, when
delivered. Notices given by the Borrower under Article 2 shall be deemed given
on actual receipt by the Administrative Agent.

            13.7  EXECUTION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. Unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, this Agreement and any
other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party
hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and
delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together
will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. The execution of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not
become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have
been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

            13.8  BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT.

                  (a)   This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
      binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
      thereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
      Borrower and its Affiliates may not assign their rights hereunder or
      thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written
      consent of all the Lenders. Any assignment by the Borrower or its
      Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Lenders shall be void,
      provided that no Person other than the Lenders shall have any rights under
      this sentence. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note
      with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that
      disposition of such Notes must be within the control of such Lender). Any
      Lender may at any time pledge its Note, if any, or any other instrument
      evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal
      Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its
      obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of
      a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

                  (b)   From time to time following the Closing Date, each
      Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of
      its Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments (or either of them, without the
      requirement that such assignment be a ratable share of each of the
      Commitments); provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a
      Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by each
      of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (neither of which approvals
      shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed) PROVIDED that the consent of
      the Borrower shall not be required if any Event of Default exists, (ii)
      such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement, a copy of
      which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent, (iii) except in the
      case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to
      another Lender of the entire remaining Commitments

                                     -121-
<PAGE>

      of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall be of a Pro Rata Share of
      either Commitment of not less than $3,000,000, and (iv) the effective
      date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment
      Agreement, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days
      after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment
      Agreement unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees. Upon the
      effective date of such Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee
      named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement,
      with the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments set forth therein and, to
      the extent of such Pro Rata Shares, the assigning Lender shall be
      released from its further obligations under this Agreement. The
      Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by
      the assigning Lender to the Borrower of its applicable Notes) to such
      assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender's Pro Rata
      Shares of the Commitments, and to the assigning Lender, Notes
      evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments
      retained by the assigning Lender (in each case, if Notes are requested
      by such assignee under Section 2.1).

                  (c)   By executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, the
      Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than
      the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner
      of the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments being assigned thereby free and
      clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no
      representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
      any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection
      with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
      genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
      (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and
      assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the
      Borrower or the performance by the Borrower of the Revolving Obligations;
      (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
      the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.1 and
      such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make
      its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment
      Agreement; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and
      information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
      own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;
      (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
      action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated
      to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in
      accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of
      this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

                                     -122-
<PAGE>

                  (d)   The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the
      Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement
      delivered to it. After receipt of a completed Assignment Agreement
      executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of an
      assignment fee of $3,500 from such Eligible Assignee, Administrative Agent
      shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide notice
      thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders.

                  (e)   Each Lender may grant participations from time to time
      in a portion of its Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments (or either of them,
      without the requirement that such participation be in a ratable share of
      each of the Commitments) to one or more banks or other financial
      institutions (including another Lender); provided, however, that (i) such
      Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
      such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
      for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or
      other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any
      purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the
      purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 13.11 and 13.15, (iv) the Borrower and the
      other Creditors shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
      Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
      Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a
      percentage of the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the relevant
      Commitment as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the
      Commitments, or in the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share, so long as the
      amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby, and (vi) the
      consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required
      for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents OTHER THAN
      those which (A) extend the Maturity Date, or any date upon which any
      payment of money is due to the Lenders, (B) reduce the rate of interest
      on the Loans, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the
      Lenders, (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal due with
      respect to the Loans, or (D) release any material Collateral, in each
      case to the extent that the same directly affect the participant.

                  (f)   Any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to one or
      more special purpose funding vehicles (each, an "SPC") of such Granting
      Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting
      Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide
      all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise
      be obligated to make pursuant to Article 2, provided that (i) nothing
      herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Advance by any SPC, (ii)
      if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
      all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to
      make such Advance

                                     -123-
<PAGE>

      pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the rights of any such SPC
      shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender. Each SPC
      shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its
      Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder
      in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, and the Administrative
      Agent, the other Creditors and each other Party shall be entitled to
      rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to
      Advances made by or through its SPC. The making of an Advance by an SPC
      hereunder shall utilize the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments of the
      Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made
      by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC
      shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under
      this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the related
      Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
      hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this
      Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
      the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC,
      it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting
      against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
      insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the
      laws of the United States or any State thereof, PROVIDED THAT the
      Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold
      harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense
      arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against
      its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without
      the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
      and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion
      of its interests in any Advance to its Granting Lender or to any
      financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to
      or for the account of such SPC to fund the Advances made by such SPC or
      to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such
      Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of
      the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Advances hereunder),
      PROVIDED THAT neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee
      shall be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan
      Documents except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent
      of participants is required under Section 13.8(e)(vi), and (ii)
      disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to
      its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
      a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

            13.9  LIEN ON DEPOSITS AND PROPERTY IN POSSESSION OF ANY LENDER. As
security for the prompt payment and performance of all Revolving Obligations,
the Borrower hereby grants to each Creditor, as the representative of all other
Creditors, a security interest in and a right of off-set with respect to, all
its right, title, and interest

                                     -124-
<PAGE>

in and to any and all deposit accounts now or hereafter maintained with that
Creditor in and to any and all of its Gaming Assets and the proceeds thereof
now or hereafter in the possession of that Creditor. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, any Lender (but only with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, exercise
its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other
applicable Laws (including its right of off-set) and apply any funds in any
deposit account maintained with it by the Borrower and any Gaming Assets of
the Borrower in its possession against the Revolving Obligations.

            13.10 SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Lender severally agrees that if it,
through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
against a Party, or otherwise, receives payment of the Revolving Obligations
held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means,
receives in payment of the Revolving Obligations held by that Lender, then: (a)
the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or
otherwise receiving such payment shall notify the Administrative Agent and
thereafter shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased,
from the other Lender a participation in the Revolving Obligations held by the
other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so
that the share of the Revolving Obligations held by each Lender after the
exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of
payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of
the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and
(b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from
time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any
payment obtained in respect of the Revolving Obligations ratably in accordance
with each Lender's share of the Revolving Obligations immediately prior to, and
without taking into account, the payment; PROVIDED that, if all or any portion
of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right
of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Lender by the Borrower or any Person claiming through or
succeeding to the rights of the Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall
be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of
the recovery. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Revolving
Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the
right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Revolving
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Revolving Obligations purchased. Each Party expressly
consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a
participation in an Revolving Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all
rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the
participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Revolving
Obligation purchased; PROVIDED, however, that each Lender agrees that it

                                     -125-
<PAGE>

shall not exercise any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with
respect to the Revolving Obligations without first obtaining the consent of
the Requisite Lenders.

            13.11 INDEMNITY BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower agrees to indemnify,
save and hold harmless each Creditor and their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the "INDEMNITEES") from
and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that
are asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party, if the claim, demand,
action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to a claim, demand,
action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against the
Borrower (or, to the extent related to the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any officer of the
Borrower); (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action by a
third party if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or
relates to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan,
the relationship of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents; (c) any administrative or
investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to
a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a) or (b)
above; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (INCLUDING
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services)
that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any
foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; PROVIDED that no Indemnitee
shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own negligence
or willful misconduct. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is
asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify the Borrower shall not affect
the Borrower's obligations under this Section unless the Borrower is materially
prejudiced thereby (and then only to the extent prejudiced). Each Indemnitee may
contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or
cause of action with counsel selected by such Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee is
authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending
any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section; PROVIDED
that each Indemnitee shall endeavor in connection with any matter covered by
this Section which also involves other Indemnitees, to use reasonable efforts to
avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees. Any
obligation or liability of the Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment
of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Revolving Obligations
owed to the Lenders; PROVIDED, however, that such obligations or liabilities
shall not, from and after the date on which the Revolving Obligations are fully
paid and the Commitments terminated, be deemed Revolving Obligations for any
purpose under the Loan Documents.

<PAGE>

            13.12 NONLIABILITY OF THE LENDERS. Each of the Tribe and the
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

                  (a)   Any inspections of any Property of the Borrower made by
      or through the Creditors are for purposes of administration of the Loan
      Documents only and the Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same;

                  (b)   By accepting or approving anything required to be
      observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Creditors pursuant to the
      Loan Documents, none of the Creditors shall be deemed to have warranted or
      represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of
      the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such
      acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or
      representation to anyone with respect thereto by any Creditor;

                  (c)   The relationship between the Borrower and the Creditors
      is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of a borrowers and lenders;
      no Creditor shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship
      of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Tribe or the
      Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Tribe or
      the Borrower or its Affiliates; no Creditor undertakes or assumes any
      responsibility or duty to the Tribe or the Borrower or its Affiliates to
      select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the
      Tribe, the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with
      their Property or the operations of the Tribe, the Borrower or its
      Affiliates; the Tribe, the Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely
      upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review,
      inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
      undertaken or assumed by the Creditors in connection with such matters is
      solely for the protection of the Creditors and neither the Tribe, the
      Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

                  (d)   The Creditors shall not be responsible or liable to any
      Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to
      injury or death to Persons or damage to Property or other loss, damage,
      liability or claim caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of the
      Tribe, the Borrower and its Affiliates and the Borrower hereby indemnifies
      and holds the Creditors harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or
      claim.

            13.13 NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITTED. This Agreement is made for the
purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of
the Borrower, the Tribe and the Creditors in connection with the Loans, and is
made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Tribe, the Creditors, and the
Creditors' successors

                                     -127-

<PAGE>

and assigns. EXCEPT as provided in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 13.8, 13.11, 13.15 and
13.28 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by
reason hereof.

            13.14 CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Creditor agrees to hold any confidential
information that it may receive from the Tribe or the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement in confidence, EXCEPT for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to
other Lenders, their officers, directors, employees and agents (but, in the case
of agents, only subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement); (b) to
legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Tribe or the
Borrower or any Lender; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over
that Lender; (d) as required by Law or legal process or in connection with any
legal proceeding to which that Creditor, the Tribe and the Borrower are adverse
parties; (e) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition
or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that
Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Pro Rata Share
(or to any SPC of that Lender in accordance with the last sentence of Section
13.8); or (f) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the
extent that any Creditor determines such disclosure to be necessary or
appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential
information" shall mean all information respecting the Tribe or the Borrower
delivered to the Lenders marked "Confidential" or in another conspicuous manner
which denotes its confidentiality, OTHER THAN (i) information previously filed
with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii) information
previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or
indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by the Tribe
or the Borrower to any Person not associated with the Tribe or the Borrower
without a written confidentiality agreement. Nothing in this Section shall be
construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of any
Creditor to the Tribe or the Borrower.

            13.15 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INDEMNITY. The Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) each of the Creditors and their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative
and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements,
enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses), arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of (i)
the presence on or under the Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any
releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from the Real
Property and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off the Real
Property by the Borrower or any of its predecessors in title (including the
Tribe), whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by
the Borrower or

                                     -128-
<PAGE>

any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or
subcontractors of the Borrower or any predecessor in title, or any third
persons at any time occupying or present on the Real Property, in connection
with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up,
transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or
present on or under the Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further
apply to any residual contamination on or under the Real Property, or
affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any property or
natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and
irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in
accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply
to Hazardous Materials on the Real Property, the presence of which is caused
by that Creditor.

            13.16 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Tribe or the Borrower shall, at their
sole expense and without expense to the Creditors, do, execute and deliver such
further acts and documents as any Lender or the Administrative Agent from time
to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto the Creditors
of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for
carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any
Loan Document.

            13.17 INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on
the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions
of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control and govern; PROVIDED that the inclusion of supplemental
rights or remedies in favor of the Creditors in any other Loan Document shall
not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted
with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be
construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance
with the fair meaning thereof.

            13.18 GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT to the extent otherwise expressly
provided therein, each Loan Document shall, by this express agreement of the
parties, be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws
of Mississippi, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the Laws of
Mississippi. The Borrower and each other party hereto each hereby consents to
the application of Mississippi civil law to the construction, interpretation and
enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to the
application of Mississippi civil law to the procedural aspects of any suit,
action or proceeding relating thereto, including but not limited to legal
process, execution of judgments and other legal remedies, except for any
procedural matters governed by or relating to the conduct of arbitration under
Section 13.24.

                                     -129-
<PAGE>

            13.19 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision in any Loan Document
that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in
any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative,
unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the
operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or
in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents
are declared to be severable.

            13.20 INDEPENDENT COVENANTS. Each covenant in Articles 6, 7 and 8 is
independent of the other covenants in those Articles; the breach of any such
covenant shall not be excused by the fact that the circumstances underlying such
breach would be permitted by another such covenant.

            13.21 HEADINGS. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are
not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

            13.22 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of the Loan
Documents.

            13.23 TAX WITHHOLDING EXEMPTION CERTIFICATES. On or before the
Closing Date, each Lender which is organized outside the United States of
America shall deliver to the Borrower a properly completed and duly executed
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001 and any other certificate or
statement required by applicable Laws to establish that payments due to such
Lender under the Loan Documents are (a) not subject to withholding under the
Code because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States of America or (b) totally exempt from United
States tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.

            13.24 ARBITRATION REFERENCE.

                  (a)   MANDATORY ARBITRATION. At the option of the
      Administrative Agent (exercised in accordance with consent of the
      Requisite Lenders), the Borrower, or (to the extent it is a party to any
      such controversy or claim), the Tribe, any controversy or claim between or
      among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
      agreements or instruments relating hereto or delivered in connection
      herewith (including without limitation the Paired Swap Agreement) and any
      claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by
      arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
      procedural rules of the (but not the provisions contemplating federal
      district court adjudication of disputes under) United States Arbitration
      Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
      notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, and

                                     -130-
<PAGE>

      under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association
      ("AAA"). If, after the invocation of arbitration by either party to
      this Agreement, any action for legal or equitable relief or other
      proceeding is brought by the other party, the judge who is presiding
      over the pending action or proceeding shall not review the merits of
      the pending action or proceeding, but shall stay the action or
      proceeding until an arbitration has been had in compliance with this
      Section 13.24. Either party to this Agreement claiming the neglect or
      refusal of the other party to proceed with an arbitration hereunder may
      make application to the Regular Civil Division of the Mississippi
      Choctaw Tribal Court for an order directing the parties to proceed with
      the arbitration in compliance with this Section 13.24. In such event,
      the Tribal Court shall order the parties to arbitration in accordance
      with the provisions of this Section 13.24 and the question of whether
      an obligation to arbitrate the dispute at issue exists shall be decided
      by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes
      of limitation in determining any claim. At any time within one year
      after an arbitration award has been rendered and the parties thereto
      notified thereof, any party to the arbitration may make application to
      the Regular Civil Division of the Mississippi Choctaw Tribal Court for
      an order confirming the award. An arbitration award shall not be
      subject to review or modification by the Tribal Court for any reason
      other than those specified in Sections 11-15-23 or 11-15-25,
      Mississippi Code Annotated 1972, but shall be confirmed strictly as
      provided by the arbitrator(s). The judgment confirming an award shall
      have the same force and effect in all respects as, and be subject to
      all the provisions of law relating to, a judgment in a civil action,
      and it may be enforced as if it has been rendered in a civil action in
      the Tribal Court. When the award requires the performance of any other
      act than the payment of money, the Tribal Court shall direct the
      enforcement thereof in the manner provided by law. The institution and
      maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a
      provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the
      right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy
      or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for
      judicial relief.

                  (b)   PROVISIONAL REMEDIES,. No provision of this section
      shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to exercise or obtain
      provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction
      before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
      proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either
      party to resort to arbitration or reference.

                  (c)   LIMITATION. This Section shall not be construed to
      require arbitration by the Creditors of any disputes which now exist or
      hereafter arise

                                     -131-
<PAGE>

      amongst themselves which do not involve the Tribe or the Borrower and
      are not related to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

                  (d)   SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT REPRESENTATION. Each party to this
      Agreement severally represents and warrants to the other parties that this
      Section 13.24 is specifically enforceable against such party by the other
      parties.

            13.25 PURPORTED ORAL AMENDMENTS. THE TRIBE, THE BORROWER AND THE
CREDITORS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR
SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 13.2. EACH
OF THE TRIBE AND THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF
DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY
REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY CREDITOR THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 13.2 TO EFFECT
AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS.

            13.26 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION
OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR
TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR
A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE
SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

            13.27 WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

                  (a)   THE TRIBE, TO THE LIMITED EXTENT SET FORTH HEREIN, AND
      THE BORROWER, EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS SOVEREIGN
      IMMUNITY (AND ANY DEFENSE BASED THEREON) FROM ANY SUIT, ACTION OR

                                     -132-
<PAGE>

      PROCEEDING OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE,
      ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION, EXECUTION,
      EXERCISE OF CONTEMPT POWERS, OR OTHERWISE) EITHER THROUGH ARBITRATION (AS
      PROVIDED HEREIN) OR IN THE REGULAR CIVIL DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI
      CHOCTAW TRIBAL COURT, WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
      DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. WITHOUT
      LIMITATION ON THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH (a), THE TRIBE
      AND THE BORROWER AGREE THAT THE REGULAR CIVIL DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI
      CHOCTAW TRIBAL COURT SHALL, AFTER THE INVOCATION OF ARBITRATION BY EITHER
      PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.24, NOT BE ENTITLED TO
      REVIEW THE MERITS OF THE PENDING ACTION OR PROCEEDING, BUT SHALL STAY THE
      ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNTIL AN ARBITRATION HAS BEEN HAD IN COMPLIANCE WITH
      SECTION 13.24 AND SHALL, UPON APPLICATION BY EITHER PARTY, ORDER THE
      PARTIES TO ARBITRATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 13.24 AND THE QUESTION OF
      WHETHER AN OBLIGATION TO ARBITRATE THE DISPUTE AT ISSUE EXISTS SHALL BE
      DECIDED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S). NO ARBITRATION AWARD SHALL BE SUBJECT TO
      REVIEW OR MODIFICATION BY THE TRIBAL COURT FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THOSE
      SPECIFIED IN SECTIONS 11-15-23 or 11-15-25, MISSISSIPPI CODE ANNOTATED
      1972, BUT SHALL BE CONFIRMED STRICTLY AS PROVIDED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S).

                  (b)   THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION SHALL
      INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE CREDITORS AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO IS
      ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT
      LIMITATION THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 13.11). SUBJECT
      TO SECTIONS 13.24 AND 13.28 THE CREDITORS AND SUCH OTHER PERSONS SHALL
      HAVE AND BE ENTITLED TO ALL AVAILABLE LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES,
      INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, MONEY DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE
      OR DECLARATORY RELIEF. THE WAIVERS OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND CONSENTS TO
      JURISDICTION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION ARE IRREVOCABLE.

            13.28 LENDER COVENANT.

                  (a)   Notwithstanding the waiver of sovereign immunity
      contained in Section 13.27, in any action or proceeding to enforce the
      Loan Documents against the Borrower or, to the limited extent set forth
      herein, against the Tribe, the Creditors agree that they shall have no
      recourse to the Excluded Property, PROVIDED that recourse may be had
      against the Tribe and the Excluded Property (to the extent set forth in
      this Section) to the extent that the Tribe fails to faithfully and fully
      comply with each of the covenants set forth in Article 8 hereof (it being
      expressly understood that in the event of any Event of Default arising
      from the breach of any of the covenants set forth in Article 8, the Tribe
      shall have the opportunity to cure the relevant Events of Default for
      thirty days following the delivery of written notice of the breach thereof
      to the Tribe) before any recourse of any kind may be had against the
      Tribe.

                  (b)   In any action or proceeding to enforce the Loan
      Documents, the Creditors agree that they shall, to the extent then
      permitted by applicable Law, take all reasonably available and
      commercially practicable steps to enforce any claim for damages awarded to
      the Creditors by any court, tribunal, arbitrator or other decision maker
      first against the Gaming Assets, prior to taking general recourse to the
      Business Enterprise Division of the Tribe, and in no event against
      Excluded Property owned by the Government Services Division of the Tribe.

                  (c)   The provisions of this Section shall not be construed
      (i) to create any recourse on the part of the Creditors against any
      Excluded Property owned by the Government Services Division or against any
      other Property of the Government Services Division which is not the
      traceable proceeds of a prohibited Distribution, EXCEPT as set forth in
      clause (a), or (ii) to require exhaustion by the Creditors of any remedies
      against the Gaming Assets prior to having recourse, in the proper case,
      against the Tribe, as set forth in clause (b).

execution, effectiveness, accuracy, completeness, legal effect, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any of the Loan
Documents (other than its own due execution of the Loan Documents) or for any

into this Assignment and to perform its obligations under this Assignment in
accordance with the provisions of this Assignment, that this Assignment has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and that this Assignment

given those terms in the Loan Agreement. This is one of the Tax Exempt Notes

record shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing under this Tax Exempt
Note.

                TAX CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT AS TO ARBITRAGE AND
                      THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 141-150 OF
                        THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986

         IN CONNECTION WITH the issuance by The Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians d/b/a/ Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise (the "Borrower") of its
[[$10,000,000]] Tax Exempt Notes (the "Notes") evidencing the Tax Exempt Loans
under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of December 19, 2000 (the
"Agreement") by and among the Borrower, the lenders named therein and Bank of
America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "Bank"), and IN FURTHERANCE OF the
covenants of the Borrower contained in Section 6.12 of the Agreement, the
Borrower makes and enters into the following Tax Certificate and Agreement as to
Arbitrage and the Provisions of Sections 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Tax Certificate").

         1.       DEFINITIONS.

         Capitalized terms, if not otherwise defined herein, shall have the
meanings set forth in Appendix I or, where not so defined, then in the
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT terms enclosed in quotation marks and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as when used in sections
103 and 141-150 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

         2.       REPRESENTATIONS.

         (a)      BORROWER IS INDIAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENT. The Borrower is an
"Indian tribal government" within the meaning of section 7701(a)(40) of the Code
and section 305.7701-1 of the Treasury Regulations.

         (b)      ISSUANCE OF THE NOTES; PURPOSES OF THE NOTES. On the date
hereof (the "Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date"), the initial Tax Exempt Loan is
being made under the Tax Exempt Commitment established in the Agreement. The
Notes evidence successive Tax Exempt Loans until the limit of [[$10,000,000]] in
principal amount under the Tax Exempt Commitment is reached. The Notes are being
issued and the Tax

                                       -7-
<PAGE>

Exempt Loans are being made for the purpose of [[(i) FINANCING CERTAIN PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS GENERALLY CONSISTING OF STREET, DRAINAGE AND SEWER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS AND (ii) THE FUNDING OF CERTAIN COSTS OF ISSUANCE OF THE NOTES
(COLLECTIVELY, THE "PROJECT").]] The Project constitutes an essential
governmental function of the Borrower within the meaning of section 7871 of
the Code.

         (c)      SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF NOTES. The Borrower reasonably expects
that revenues derived from its ownership of a hotel-casino and other funds of
the Borrower will be sufficient on an annual basis to make all payments of debt
service on the Notes as and when the same become due and payable within such
annual period.

         (d)      SINGLE ISSUE. The Borrower does not expect to issue other
obligations that will be (a) sold at substantially the same time as the Notes
(I.E., less than 15 days apart); (b) sold pursuant to the same plan of financing
with the Notes; and (c) reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the
same sources of funds as will be used to pay the Notes.

         (e)      NO REPLACEMENT; AVERAGE MATURITY. No portion of the amounts
received from the issuance of the Notes will be used as a substitute for other
funds that otherwise were to be used as a source of financing for the Project
and that have been or will be used to acquire, directly or indirectly,
Investment Property producing a yield in excess of the "yield" on the Notes. The
weighted average maturity of the Notes ([[5]] years, treating the entire Tax
Exempt Commitment as borrowed on the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date and not
repaid until the maturity date of the Notes) does not exceed 120 percent of the
average reasonably expected economic life of the Project, determined in the same
manner as under section 147(b).

         (f)      STATEMENT AS TO FACTS, ESTIMATES AND CIRCUMSTANCES. The facts
and estimates set forth in this Tax Certificate on which the Borrower's
expectations as to the amount and use of the Gross Proceeds of the Notes are
based are made to the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned
officer of the Borrower and the Borrower's expectations are reasonable. The
undersigned is an officer of the Borrower responsible for the issuance of the
Notes, who has made due inquiry with respect to and is fully informed as to the
matters set forth herein.

         (g)      NOTES NOT TAXABLE HEDGE BONDS. The Borrower (i) reasonably
expects as of the date hereof (a) no less than 10 percent of the spendable
proceeds of the Notes will be spent for the governmental purposes of the issue
within the 1-year period beginning on the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date; (b)
no less than 30 percent of the spendable proceeds of the Notes will be spent for
such purposes within the 2-year period beginning on such date; (c) no less than
60 percent of the spendable proceeds of the Notes will be spent for such
purposes within the 3-year period beginning on such date; and (d) no less than
85 percent of the spendable proceeds of the Notes will be spent for such
purposes within the 5-year period beginning on such date; and (ii) [[COVENANTS
THAT NO MORE THAN

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

50% OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTES WILL BE INVESTED IN INVESTMENTS HAVING A
SUBSTANTIALLY GUARANTEED YIELD FOR FOUR YEARS OR MORE.]]

         (h)      NOTES ARE BANK QUALIFIED. The Borrower hereby designates the
Notes as qualified tax-exempt obligations pursuant to section 265(b) of the Code
and reasonably expects that the aggregate amount of tax-exempt obligations that
will be issued by the Borrower and all of its subordinate entities during the
____ calendar year will not exceed $10,000,000. The Borrower covenants that it
will not designate in excess of $10,000,000 of obligations as qualified
tax-exempt obligations pursuant to section 265(b) of the Code during any
calendar year.

         3.       REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS OF THE BORROWER AS TO FACTS, ESTIMATES
         AND CIRCUMSTANCES

         The Borrower makes the following representations and statements of fact
and expectation on the basis of which it is not expected that the proceeds of or
other amounts (including replaced proceeds) in respect of the Note will be used
in a manner that will cause such Note to be an "arbitrage bond" within the
meaning of section 148 of the Code.

         (a)      APPLICATION OF NOTE PROCEEDS; NO OVERISSUANCE. The aggregate
amount to be received by the Borrower from the issuance of the Note (the "Note
Proceeds") will be equal to the aggregate amount of all Tax Exempt Advances
made. The maximum aggregate amount of Tax Exempt Advances cannot exceed the Tax
Exempt Commitment under the Agreement, which is [[$10,000,000]]. The Note
Proceeds and any anticipated investment earnings thereon, after taking into
account the other monies described below and made available for the Project by
reason of the current transaction, do not exceed the amount necessary for the
Project by more than $100,000. The Borrower does not anticipate receiving any
investment earnings on Note Proceeds.

         (b)      NO REPLACEMENT FUNDS. The Borrower neither has established nor
will establish any fund or account monies in which are reasonably expected to be
used to pay directly or indirectly debt service on the Note or within which
there can be any reasonable assurance that monies would be available for the
payment of such debt service were the Borrower to encounter financial
difficulties.

         (c)      YIELD. The Notes constitute a variable yield issue, the yield
on which pursuant to section 1.148-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations is to be
computed separately for each Computation Period. The Borrower hereby designates
the first Computation Date in respect of the Notes to be ________________, and
the subsequent Computation Dates to fall on each five-year anniversary of such
first Computation Date. The yield on the Notes for any Computation Period is the
discount rate that, when used in computing the present value as of the first day
of the Computation Period of all the payments of principal and interest and fees
for qualified guarantees that are attributable to the Computation Period,
produces an amount equal to the present value, using the same

                                       -9-
<PAGE>

discount rate, of the aggregate issue price of the Notes as of the first day
of the Computation Period.

         4.       REBATE REQUIREMENT, CALCULATIONS AND PAYMENT. The Borrower has
covenanted to comply with the rebate requirements of section 148(f) of the Code
as the same apply to the Notes. As long as the Borrower complies with its
agreement hereunder not to invest Note Proceeds, no rebate payment to the U.S.
Treasury will be required under present laws and regulations.

         5.       ALLOCATION AND ACCOUNTING RULES. The Borrower has covenanted
to comply with the requirements of section 148 of the Code. The regulations
promulgated thereunder pertaining to the allocation and accounting for proceeds,
investments and expenditures are summarized in Appendix II.

         6.       RESTRICTIONS ON LOANS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL USE. The Borrower
has covenanted that, except as would not cause the Note to become "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code, it will take all
actions necessary to assure that (i) it will own, operate and possess all
property financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Notes and
will not otherwise permit any property so financed to be subject to the "private
business use" of any Nongovernmental Person, and (ii) will not directly or
indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by any Nongovernmental
Person who is treated as using any Gross Proceeds of the Notes or any property
the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly
or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds other than taxes of general application
within the Tribe or interest earned on investments acquired with such Gross
Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes. Substantially all of
the proceeds (90% or more) of the Notes will be expended for "essential
governmental functions" of the Borrower (within the meaning of section 7871 of
the Code and section 305.7871-1(d) of the Treasury Regulations). For purposes of
this section, "Nongovernmental Person" refers to the United States of America or
any agency, department or instrumentality thereof, or any other person other
than (i) a state or local governmental unit or (ii) an Indian tribal government
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(40) of the Code or a subdivision thereof
within the meaning of Section 7871(d) of the Code.

                                   DEFINITIONS

         "BOND COUNSEL" shall mean ________________________, or any other law

municipal bonds.

         "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         "COMMINGLED FUND" shall mean any fund or account containing both Gross
Proceeds of an issue and amounts in excess of $25,000 that are not Gross

accounted for collectively, without regard to the source of funds deposited in
the fund or account.

         "COMPUTATION DATE" shall mean each date on which the rebate for an
issue is computed.

         "COMPUTATION DATE CREDIT" shall mean with respect to an issue a credit
of $1,000 against the rebatable arbitrage on (i) the last day of each Note Year
during which there are amounts allocated to Gross Proceeds of an issue subject
to the Rebate Requirement; and (ii) the final maturity date for an issue.

         "COMPUTATION PERIOD" shall mean the period between Computation Dates.
The first Computation Period begins on the date hereof and ends on the first
Computation Date. Each succeeding Computation Period begins on the date
immediately following the Computation Date and ends on the next Computation
Date.

         "GROSS PROCEEDS" shall mean any Proceeds or Replacement Proceeds of an
issue.

         "INVESTMENT PROCEEDS" shall mean any amounts actually or constructively
received from investing Proceeds of an issue.

         "INVESTMENT PROPERTY" shall mean any security or obligation within the
meaning of section 148(b)(2) of the Code, any annuity contract, any interest in
any residential rental property for family units which is not located within the
jurisdiction of the Borrower, any "specified private activity bond" within the
meaning of section 57(a)(5)(C), and any other Investment-Type Property.

         "INVESTMENT-TYPE PROPERTY" includes any property that is held
principally as a passive vehicle for the production of income. A prepayment for
property or services is Investment-Type Property if a principal purpose for
prepaying is to receive an investment return from the time the prepayment is
made until the time payment otherwise would be made. A prepayment is not
Investment-Type Property if (i) the prepayment is made for a substantial
business purpose other than investment return and the Borrower has no

                                       -1-
<PAGE>

commercially reasonable alternative to the prepayment; and (ii) prepayments on
substantially the same terms are made by a substantial percentage of persons who
are similarly situated to the Borrower but who are not beneficiaries of
tax-exempt financing.

         "NONPURPOSE INVESTMENT" shall mean any Investment Property that is not
a Purpose Investment.

         "NONPURPOSE PAYMENT" shall mean:

         (i) amounts actually or constructively paid to acquire a Nonpurpose
Investment (or treated as paid to a Commingled Fund);

         (ii) in the case of a Nonpurpose Investment that is first allocated to
an issue on a date after it is actually acquired (E.G., an investment that
becomes allocable to Transferred Proceeds or to Replacement Proceeds) or that
becomes subject to the Rebate Requirement on a date after it is actually
acquired (E.G., an investment allocated to a reasonably required reserve or
replacement fund for a construction issue at the end of the two year spending
period), the Value of that investment on that date;

         (iii) in the case of a Nonpurpose Investment that was allocated to an
issue at the end of the preceding Computation Period, the Value of that
Nonpurpose Investment at the beginning of the Computation Period; and

         (iv)   the Computation Date Credit.

         "NONPURPOSE RECEIPT" shall mean:

         (i)      amounts actually or constructively received from a Nonpurpose
                  Investment(including amounts treated as received from a
                  Commingled Fund);

         (ii)     in the case of a Nonpurpose Investment that ceases to be
                  allocated to an issue before its disposition or redemption
                  date (E.G., an investment that becomes allocable to
                  Transferred Proceeds of another issue or that ceases to be
                  allocable to the issue pursuant to the Universal Cap) or that
                  ceases to be subject to the Rebate Requirement on a date
                  earlier than its disposition or redemption date (E.G., an
                  investment allocated to a fund initially subject to the Rebate
                  Requirement but that subsequently qualifies as a bona fide
                  debt service fund), the Value of that Nonpurpose Investment on
                  that date; and

         (iii)    in the case of a Nonpurpose Investment that is held at the end
                  of a Computation Period, the Value of that Nonpurpose
                  Investment at the end of that Computation Period.

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

         "NOTE YEAR" shall mean each one year period that ends on the day
selected by the Borrower. If no day is selected by the Borrower before the date
that is five years from the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date, each Note Year ends
on the anniversary of the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date and on the final
maturity date.

         "NOTE YIELD" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3 of the Tax
Certificate.

         "PLAIN PAR BOND" (or "PLAIN PAR INVESTMENT") shall mean a bond (or an
investment) (i) issued (or in the case of an investment acquired on a date other
than the issue date, acquired) with not more than a de minimis amount (I.E., two
percent of stated principal amount) of original issue discount or original issue
premium; (ii) issued for a price that does not include accrued interest, other
than Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest; (iii) that bears interest from the issue
date at a single, stated, fixed rate or that is a variable rate debt instrument
under section 1275 of the Code, in each case with interest payable at least
annually; and (iv) that has a lowest stated redemption price that is not less
than its outstanding principal amount.

         "PRE-ISSUANCE ACCRUED" Interest shall mean amounts representing
interest that has accrued on an obligation for a period of not greater than one
year before its issue date but only if those amounts are paid within one year
after the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date.

         "PROCEEDS" shall mean any Sale Proceeds, Investment Proceeds and
Transferred Proceeds of an issue.

         "PURPOSE INVESTMENT" shall mean an investment that is acquired to carry
out the governmental purpose of an issue.

         "QUALIFIED ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS" shall mean reasonable, direct
administrative costs, other than carrying costs, such as separately stated
brokerage and selling commissions that are comparable to those charged
nongovernmental entities in transactions not involving tax-exempt bond proceeds,
but NOT legal and accounting fees, recordkeeping, custody or similar costs. For
a guaranteed investment contract, a broker's commission paid on behalf of either
an issuer or the provider is NOT a Qualified Administrative Cost to the extent
that the commission exceeds .05 percent of the amount reasonably expected to be
invested per year.

         "REBATE NOTE YIELD" shall mean the Note Yield unless:

         (i) the issuer or any conduit borrower enters into a hedge transaction
         (E.G., interest rate swap, interest rate cap or collar) which has not
         been taken into account in computing the Note Yield, in which case the
         issuer shall consult with Bond Counsel for guidance in determining the
         Rebate Note Yield; or

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

         (ii) the issuer or any conduit borrower, in a transaction that is
         separate and apart from the original sale of an issue, transfers,
         waives or modifies any right that is part of the terms of an issue
         (E.G., a sale of the call rights on an issue). The issuer shall consult
         with Bond Counsel prior to entering into any such transaction and for
         guidance in determining the Rebate Note Yield.

         "REBATE REQUIREMENT" shall have the same meaning as when used in
Section 4 of the Tax Certificate.

         "REPLACEMENT PROCEEDS" shall mean amounts that have a sufficiently
direct nexus to an issue to conclude that the amounts would have been used for
that governmental purpose if the Proceeds of the issue were not used or to be
used for that governmental purpose. For this purpose, governmental purposes
include the expected use of amounts for the payment of debt service on a
particular date. The mere availability or preliminary earmarking of amounts for
a governmental purpose, however, does not in itself establish a sufficient nexus
to cause those amounts to be Replacement Proceeds. Replacement Proceeds include,
but are not limited to, amounts held in a sinking fund or a pledged fund. For
these purposes, an amount is pledged to pay principal of or interest on an issue
if there is reasonable assurance that the amount will be available for such
purposes in the event that the issuer encounters financial difficulties.

         "SALE PROCEEDS" shall mean any amounts actually or constructively
received by the issuer from the sale of an issue, including amounts used to pay
underwriters' discount or compensation and interest other than Pre-Issuance
Accrued Interest.

         "TREASURY REGULATIONS" shall mean the Treasury Regulations contained in
sections 1.148-0 through 1.148-11, inclusive, 1.149(b)-1, 1.149(d)-1 and
1.149(g)-1, and 1.150-1 and 1.150-2 as published on June 14, 1993 and to the
extent applicable, any subsequent amendments to such regulations or any
successor regulations.

         "UNIVERSAL CAP" shall mean the value of all then outstanding Notes of
the issue.

         "VALUE" (OF A BOND) shall mean with respect to a bond issued with not
more than two percent original issue discount or original issue premium, the
outstanding principal amount, plus accrued unpaid interest; for any other bond,
its present value.

         "VALUE" (OF AN INVESTMENT) shall have the following meaning in the
following circumstances:

         (i) General Rules. Subject to the special rules in the following
         paragraph, an issuer may determine the value of an investment on a date
         using one of the following valuation methods consistently applied for
         all purposes relating to arbitrage and rebate with respect to that
         investment on that date:

                                       -4-
<PAGE>

                  (a) an investment with not more than two percent original
                  issue discount or original issue premium may be valued at its
                  outstanding stated principal amount, plus accrued unpaid
                  interest;

                  (b) a fixed rate investment may be valued at its present
                   value; and

                  (c) an investment may be valued at its fair market value on a
                  date.

         (ii) SPECIAL RULES. Yield restricted investments are to be valued at
         present value provided that (except for purposes of allocating
         transferred proceeds to an issue, for purposes of the universal cap and
         for investments in a commingled fund other than a bona fide debt
         service fund unless it is a certain commingled fund):

                  (a) an investment must be valued at its fair market value when
                  it is first allocated to an issue, when it is disposed of and
                  when it is deemed acquired or deemed disposed of, and provided
                  further that;

                  (b) in the case of transferred proceeds, the value of a
                  nonpurpose investment that is allocated to transferred
                  proceeds of a refunding issue on a transfer date may not
                  exceed the value of that investment on the transfer date used
                  for purposes of applying the arbitrage restrictions to the
                  refunded issue.

                                   APPENDIX II

                         ALLOCATION AND ACCOUNTING RULES

         1. GENERAL RULE. An issuer may use any reasonable, consistently applied
accounting method to account for Gross Proceeds, investments and expenditures of
an issue. An accounting method is "consistently applied" if it is applied
uniformly within a Fiscal Period and between Fiscal Periods to account for Gross
Proceeds of an issue and any amounts that are in a commingled fund.

         2. ALLOCATION OF GROSS PROCEEDS TO AN ISSUE. Amounts are allocable to
only one issue at a time as Gross Proceeds. Amounts cease to be allocated to an
issue as Proceeds only when those amounts (i) are allocated to an expenditure
for a governmental purpose; (ii) are allocated to transferred proceeds of
another issue of obligations; or (iii) cease to be allocated to that issue at
retirement of the issue or under the Universal Cap.

         3. ALLOCATION OF GROSS PROCEEDS TO INVESTMENTS. Upon the purchase or
sale of a Nonpurpose Investment, Gross Proceeds of an issue are not allocated to
a payment for that Nonpurpose Investment in an amount greater than, or to a
receipt from that Nonpurpose Investment in an amount less than, the fair market
value of the Nonpurpose Investment as of the purchase or sale date. The fair
market value of a Nonpurpose Investment is adjusted to take into account
Qualified Administrative Costs allocable to the investment. Thus, Qualified
Administrative Costs increase the payments for, or decrease the receipts from, a
Nonpurpose Investment.

         4. ALLOCATION OF GROSS PROCEEDS TO EXPENDITURES. Reasonable accounting
methods for allocating funds from different sources to expenditures for the same
governmental purpose include a "specific tracing" method, a
"gross-proceeds-spent-first" method, a "first-in-first-out" method or a ratable
allocation method, so long as the method used is consistently applied. An
allocation of Gross Proceeds of an issue to an expenditure must involve a
current outlay of cash for a governmental purpose of the issue. A current outlay
of cash means an outlay reasonably expected to occur not later than five banking
days after the date as of which the allocation of Gross Proceeds to the
expenditure is made.

         5. COMMINGLED FUNDS. Any fund or account that contains both Gross
Proceeds of an issue and amounts in excess of $25,000 that are not Gross
Proceeds of that issue if the amounts in the fund or account are invested and
accounted for collectively, without regard to the source of the funds deposited
therein, constitutes a "commingled fund." All payments and receipts (including
deemed payments and receipts) on investments held by a commingled fund must be
allocated (but not necessarily distributed) among each different source of funds
invested in the commingled fund in accordance with a consistently applied,
reasonable ratable allocation method. Reasonable ratable allocation methods
include, without limitation, methods that allocate payments and receipts in

                                       -1-
<PAGE>

proportion to either (i) the average daily balances of the amounts in the
commingled fund from each different source of funds during any consistent time
period within its fiscal year, but at least quarterly (the "Fiscal Period"); or
(ii) the average of the beginning and ending balances of the amounts in the
commingled fund from each different source of funds for a Fiscal Period that
does not exceed one month.

                  Funds invested in the commingled fund may be allocated
directly to expenditures for governmental purposes pursuant to a reasonable
consistently applied accounting method. If a ratable allocation method is used
to allocate expenditures from the commingled fund, the same ratable allocation
method must be used to allocate payments and receipts on investments in the
commingled fund.

                  Generally a commingled fund must treat all its investments as
if sold at fair market value either on the last day of the fiscal year or on the
last day of each Fiscal Period. The net gains or losses from these deemed sales
of investments must be allocated to each different source of funds invested in
the commingled fund during the period since the last allocation. This
mark-to-market requirement does not apply if (i) the remaining weighted average
maturity of all investments held by a commingled fund during a particular fiscal
year does not exceed 18 months, and the investments held by the commingled fund
during that fiscal year consist exclusively of obligations; or (ii) the
commingled fund operated exclusively as a reserve fund, sinking fund or
replacement fund for two or more issues of the same issuer. Subject to the
Universal Cap limitation, and the principle that amounts are allocable to only
one issue at a time as Gross Proceeds, investments held by a commingled fund
that serves as a common reserve fund, replacement fund or sinking fund must be
allocated ratably among the issues served by the commingled fund in proportion
to either (i) the relative values of the bonds of those issues; (ii) the
relative amounts of the remaining maximum annual debt service requirements on
the outstanding principal amounts of those issues; or (iii) the relative
original stated principal amounts of the outstanding issues.

         6. UNIVERSAL CAP. Amounts that would otherwise be Gross Proceeds
allocable to an issue are allocated (and remain allocated) to the issue only to
the extent that the Value of the Nonpurpose Investments allocable to those Gross
Proceeds does not exceed the Value of all outstanding bonds of the issue.
Nonpurpose Investments allocated to Gross Proceeds in a bona fide debt service
fund for an issue are not taken into account in determining the Value of the
Nonpurpose Investments, and those Nonpurpose Investments remain allocated to the
issue. To the extent that the Value of the Nonpurpose Investments allocable to
the Gross Proceeds of an issue exceed the Value of all outstanding bonds of that
issue, an issuer should seek the advice of Bond Counsel for the procedures
necessary to comply with the Universal Cap.

         7. EXPENDITURE FOR WORKING CAPITAL PURPOSES. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Proceeds of an issue may be allocated to "working capital
expenditures" as of any date

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

only to the extent that those expenditures exceed "available amounts" as of
that date (I.E., "proceeds-spent-last").

                  For purposes of this section, "working capital expenditures"
include all expenditures other than "capital expenditures." "Capital
expenditures" are costs of a type properly chargeable (or chargeable upon proper
election) to a capital account under general Federal income tax principles. Such
costs include, for example, costs incurred to acquire, construct, or improve
land, buildings and equipment having a reasonably expected useful life in excess
of one year. Thus, working capital expenditures include, among other things,
expenditures for current operating expenses and debt service.

                  For purposes of this section, "available amount" means any
amount that is available to an issuer for working capital expenditure purposes
of the type financed by the issue. Available amount excludes Proceeds of the
issue but includes cash, investments and other amounts held in accounts or
otherwise by an issuer for working capital expenditures of the type being
financed by the issue without legislative or judicial action and without a
legislative, judicial, or contractual requirement that those amounts be
reimbursed. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a "reasonable working
capital reserve" is treated as unavailable. A working capital reserve is
reasonable if it does not exceed five percent of the actual working capital
expenditures of an issuer in the fiscal year before the year in which the
determination of available amounts is made. For purpose of the preceding
sentence only, in determining the working capital expenditures of an issuer for
a prior fiscal year, any expenditures (whether capital or working capital
expenditures) that are paid out of current revenues may be treated as working
capital expenditures.

                  The proceeds-spent-last requirement does not apply to
expenditures to pay (i) any issuance costs of the issue or any qualified
administrative costs; (ii) fees for qualified guarantees of the issue or
payments for a qualified hedge for the issue; (iii) interest on the issue for a
period commencing on the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date and ending on the date
that is the later of three years from the Initial Tax Exempt Advance Date or one
year after the date on which the financed project is placed in service; (iv) the
United States for yield reduction payments (including rebate payments) or
penalties for the failure to meet the spend down requirements associated with
certain spending exceptions to the rebate requirement; (v) costs, other than
those described in (i) through (iv) above, that do not exceed five percent of
the Sale Proceeds of an issue and that are directly related to capital
expenditures financed by the issue (E.G., initial operating expenses for a new
capital project); (vi) principal or interest on an issue paid from unexpected
excess sale or investment proceeds; (vii) principal or interest on an issue paid
from investment earnings on a reserve or replacement fund that are deposited in
a bona fide debt service fund; and (viii) principal, interest, or redemption
premium on a prior issue and, for a crossover refunding issue, interest on that
issue. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the exceptions described above
do not apply if the allocation

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

merely substitutes Gross Proceeds for other amounts that would have been used
to make those expenditures in a manner that gives rise to Replacement
Proceeds.

will provide Borrower with certain secured revolving loan and letter of credit
facilities in an initial principal amount of $125,000,000. Pursuant to the

Obligations, providing for the hedging of interest rates under the Term Loan
Agreement (as amended concurrently herewith so as to make the Borrower a
party thereto, and as further amended from time to time, the "Paired Swap
Agreement"). It is contemplated that Borrower, Tribe and one or more of the
Revolver Lenders or their affiliates may from time to time enter into Secured

                  D. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Loan
Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement, it is contemplated that Tribe, Borrower

Deposit Account Agreements in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to

defined).

                  G. The execution of this agreement by Bank of America, as
Collateral Agent and representative of the Lenders party hereto on the date
hereof, is authorized by Section 12.1 of the Revolving Loan Agreement and
Section 12.1 of the Term Loan Agreement.

         2.1 SHARING OF LIENS. The Collateral Agent is hereby appointed by the
Secured Creditors to hold, on behalf of all of the Secured Creditors, all of the
Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents for the equal, ratable and

<PAGE>

Secured Creditors party thereto, will deliver a notice thereof (a "Notice of
Default") to the Collateral Agent (or, if the Obligations are deemed
accelerated pursuant to Section 11.1(m) of the Revolving Loan Agreement,
Section 11.1(m) of the Term Loan Agreement or any comparable provision in the

                           (i) the Term Lenders shall be entitled to
                  distribution of an amount which is proportionately equal to
                  the amount which the principal amount of the Permitted Term
                  Obligations bear to the Aggregate Permitted Obligations;

                           (ii) the Revolver Lenders shall be entitled to
                  distribution of an amount which is proportionately equal to
                  the amount which the principal amount of the Permitted
                  Revolver Obligations bear to the Aggregate Permitted
                  Obligations;

                           (iii) the Additional Creditors shall be entitled to
                  distribution of an amount which is proportionately equal to

                  Obligations; and

                           (iv) the Swap Creditors shall be entitled to

                  the amount which the principal amount of the Permitted Swap
                  Obligations bear to the Aggregate Permitted Obligations;

PROVIDED in each case that, for the purposes of such priority distribution, the
amount of such obligations owed to any Secured Creditor or group thereof shall
be deemed reduced in an amount equal to that portion of such obligations which
is (x) not secured by a perfected and unavoidable lien or security interest in
the Collateral (without regard to the value of the Collateral in comparison to
the amounts so secured), or (y) avoidable as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent
conveyance, or (z) subject to equitable subordination or otherwise subordinated
by law, equity or contract to the other obligations entitled to the benefits of
this agreement. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the priority of the liens and
security interests governed by this Agreement shall be determined hereby
irrespective of the time or manner of perfection of the interests granted to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of any particular creditor.

                                      -6-

         2.2 SUBORDINATION OF EXCESS AMOUNTS. To the extent that the aggregate
principal amount of the obligations under the Revolving Loan Agreement exceeds
the Permitted Revolver Obligations, the aggregate principal amount of the
obligations under the Term Loan Agreement exceeds the Permitted Term
Obligations, the aggregate principal amount of the obligations under the
Proposed Senior Financing exceeds the Permitted Additional Obligations or the
aggregate principal amount of the obligations under the Swap Agreements exceeds
the Permitted Swap Obligations (in each case as of the date of the giving of a
Notice of Default) such excess amounts shall continue to be secured by the
Collateral but shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment from the
proceeds of the Liens of the Collateral Documents to the prior payment (ratably,
as set forth above) of the other obligations entitled to the benefits of this
agreement.

                                   ARTICLE III

                              ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS

         3.1 RIGHTS OF ACTION. Each of the Secured Creditors and each of the
Creditor Representatives agrees that all rights and remedies of the Secured
Creditors and Creditor Representatives with respect to the Collateral shall be
exercised by the Collateral Agent. Each Creditor Representative under the
Revolving Loan Agreement, Term Loan Agreement and Proposed Senior Financing
shall independently have the unilateral right, acting alone, to direct the
Collateral Agent, subject to and in accordance with the Credit Documents to
which it is a party, to proceed against the Collateral in an expeditious manner.
The order and manner pursuant to which such rights and remedies are exercised
shall be determined initially by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its
discretion PROVIDED THAT the Required Creditors (or a committee appointed
thereby for the purpose of overseeing such enforcement of such rights and
remedies) shall, upon written notice to the Collateral Agent, have the right to
direct the order and manner of such enforcement. The Collateral Agent hereby
agrees (and each Lender and Creditor Representative acknowledges such agreement)
that, upon receipt of such written notice, it shall enforce such rights and
remedies promptly in such order and manner as the Required Creditors (or a
committee appointed thereby for the purpose of overseeing such enforcement) may,
from time to time, direct, PROVIDED that the Collateral Agent shall not be
required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Credit Document
or to applicable Laws or would result, in the judgment of the Collateral Agent,
in substantial risk of liability to the Collateral Agent.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              THE COLLATERAL AGENT

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         4.1 APPOINTMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENT. Each of the Secured Creditors
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bank of America to act as Collateral
Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents and this Agreement, and Bank
of America agrees to act as Collateral Agent for such Secured Creditors,
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents and this Agreement.

         4.2 BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITH THE TRIBE AND THE BORROWER. Bank of
America (and any successor Collateral Agent) has the same rights and powers
under the Credit Documents as any other Secured Creditor and may exercise the
same as though it was not the Collateral Agent, and the term "Secured Creditor"
or "Secured Creditors" includes Bank of America in its individual capacity. Each
Secured Creditor (including Bank of America and any successor Collateral Agent)
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Tribe or the Borrower
or any of its Affiliates. Bank of America may engage in these activities in the
same manner as the other Secured Creditors as if it was not the Collateral Agent
and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Creditors. Bank of
America (and any successor Collateral Agent) need not account to any other
Secured Creditor for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs
and expenses as Collateral Agent, or for any monies received by it in its
capacity as a Secured Creditor hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be
deemed to hold a fiduciary, trust or other special relationship with any Secured
Creditor and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
against the Collateral Agent.

         4.3 SECURED CREDITORS' CREDIT DECISIONS. Each Secured Creditor agrees
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, any
other Secured Creditor or the directors, officers, agents, employees or
attorneys of the Collateral Agent or of any other Secured Creditor, and instead
in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Tribe and the
Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into the Credit Documents.
Each Secured Creditor also agrees that it shall, independently and without
reliance upon the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Creditor or the directors,
officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Collateral Agent or of any other
Secured Creditor, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and
decisions in acting or not acting under the Credit Documents.

         4.4      ACTION BY COLLATERAL AGENT.

                  A. The Collateral Agent has only those obligations under the
         Credit Documents and this Agreement as are expressly set forth therein
         and herein.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

                  B. EXCEPT for any obligation expressly set forth in the Credit
         Documents and this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not
         be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act.

                  C. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Secured
         Creditor for acting as instructed by the Required Creditors, or for
         refraining from acting, if so instructed by the Required Creditors
         pursuant to Section 3.1, notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

         4.5 LIABILITY OF COLLATERAL AGENT. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for
any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Credit
Documents or this Agreement, EXCEPT for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and its
directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

                  A. May treat each Secured Creditor identified in its records
         as the owner of its Pro Rata Share reflected in such records until the
         Collateral Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof.

                  B. May consult with legal counsel (INCLUDING in-house legal
         counsel), accountants (INCLUDING in-house accountants) and other
         professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel,
         accountants or other professionals or experts for the Tribe, the
         Borrower or the Secured Creditors, and shall not be liable for any
         action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any
         advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or
         experts.

                  C. Shall not be responsible to any Secured Creditor for any
         statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Credit
         Documents or this Agreement or in any notice, certificate, report,
         request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in
         connection with any of the Credit Documents or this Agreement.

                  D. EXCEPT to the extent expressly set forth in the Credit
         Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance
         or observance by the Tribe, the Borrower or any other Party of any of
         the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Credit Documents or to
         inspect any Collateral or the Property, books or records of the Tribe
         or the Borrower.

                  E. Will not be responsible to any Secured Creditor for the due
         execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
         effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Document, any other
         instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection
         therewith, or any collateral.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  F. Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in
         reliance upon any Credit Document, notice, consent, certificate,
         statement, request or other instrument or writing believed by it to be
         genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

                  G. Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in
         computing any amount paid or payable by the Borrower or any Affiliate
         thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any
         Secured Creditor under any Credit Document, INCLUDING, without
         limitation, principal, interest, Advances and other amounts; PROVIDED
         that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the
         Collateral Agent, the Secured Creditors and (to the extent applicable)
         the Borrower or its Affiliates shall make such adjustments as are
         necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the
         position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.

         4.6 SUCCESSOR COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent may, and at the
request of the Required Creditors shall, resign as Collateral Agent (i) upon 30
days' notice to the Borrower and the Secured Creditors or (ii) if the Collateral
Agent determines that for it to continue as Collateral Agent would result in a
conflict of interest affecting the Collateral Agent, or would create an
unacceptable risk of significant liability of the Collateral Agent to a third
party, or would otherwise be inadvisable under prevailing standards of banking
prudence, at any time, and effective immediately upon written notice to the
Borrower and the Secured Creditors. If the Collateral Agent so resigns, (a) the
Required Creditors shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent, who must be from
among the Secured Creditors (and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower unless an
Event of Default exists), PROVIDED that any resigning Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to appoint a successor Collateral Agent from among the Secured
Creditors, subject to acceptance of appointment by that successor Collateral
Agent, if the Required Creditors have not appointed a successor Collateral Agent
within 30 days after the date the resigning Collateral Agent gave notice of
resignation; (b) upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as Collateral
Agent, the successor will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Collateral Agent or the
removed Collateral Agent; and (c) upon the effectiveness of any resignation, the
resigning Collateral Agent thereupon will be discharged from its duties and
obligations thereafter arising under the Credit Documents other than obligations
arising as a result of any action or inaction of the resigning Collateral Agent
prior to the effectiveness of such resignation.

         4.7 INDEMNITY. Each of the Secured Creditors agrees to indemnify, save
and hold harmless Collateral Agent and its respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the "INDEMNITEES") from
and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that
are asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party, if the claim, demand,
action or cause of action directly

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

or indirectly relates to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such
Person asserts or may assert against the Secured Creditors (or, to the extent
related to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, any
Affiliate or any officer of the Secured Creditor); (b) any and all claims,
demands, actions or causes of action by a third party if the claim, demand,
action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any transaction
contemplated by the Credit Documents; (c) any administrative or investigative
proceeding by any governmental agency arising out of or related to a claim,
demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a) or (b) above; and
(d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (INCLUDING reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any
Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing
claim, demand, action or cause of action; PROVIDED that no Indemnitee shall
be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. If any claim, demand, action or cause of
action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly
notify the Secured Creditors, but the failure to so promptly notify the
Secured Creditors shall not affect the Secured Creditor's obligations under
this Section unless the Secured Creditor is materially prejudiced thereby
(and then only to the extent prejudiced). Each Indemnitee may contest the
validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of
action with counsel selected by such Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee is
authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in
defending any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this
Section; PROVIDED that each Indemnitee shall endeavor in connection with any
matter covered by this Section which also involves other Indemnitees, to use
reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for
all Indemnitees. Any obligation or liability of the Secured Creditors to any
Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement

                  the Collateral Agent shall notify each of the Creditor
                  Representatives thereof, and each Creditor Representative
                  shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate
                  setting forth the principal amount of the obligations owed to
                  the Secured Creditors under its respective Credit Document and
                  that portion of such obligations which constitutes L/C
                  Exposure as of the date of its receipt of such Notice of
                  Default.

                           (b)      Upon its receipt of any proceeds of the
                  Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall disburse such proceeds
                  as follows:

                                    (i)      First, to the costs and expenses of
                           the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the
                           enforcement of the Collateral Documents (including
                           the allocated costs of internal counsel to the
                           Collateral Agent) and to a reserve established by the
                           Collateral Agent for any reasonably anticipated
                           future expenses;

                                    (ii)     Second, to each of the Creditor
                           Representatives for the ratable benefit of the
                           Secured Creditors in accordance with the principal
                           obligations which are owning to them constituting
                           Permitted Revolver Obligations, Permitted Term
                           Obligations, Permitted Additional Obligations or
                           Permitted Swap Obligations PROVIDED that the
                           Collateral Agent shall withhold from any such
                           disbursement any amount allocable to L/C Exposure
                           until such amounts are fully liquidated (and shall
                           instead retain such amounts in an interest-bearing
                           collateral account for the benefit of the Secured
                           Creditors as their interest may appear). In the event
                           that any L/C Exposure is ultimately discharged or
                           eliminated (whether by expiration without drawing of
                           the related Letter of Credit or otherwise) the
                           Collateral Agent shall disburse the related amounts
                           in the collateral account to the Creditor
                           Representatives for the account of the Secured
                           Creditors as aforesaid;

                                    (iii)    Third, to the Secured Creditors
                           ratably in accordance with the principal obligations
                           owed to them which do not constituted Permitted Term
                           Obligations, Permitted Revolver

                           Obligations, Permitted Additional Obligations or
                           Permitted Swap Obligations (until the payment in
                           full of all such Obligations); and

                                    (iv)     Finally, to the person or persons
                           otherwise legally entitled thereto.

         5.2      TURNOVER OF COLLATERAL RECEIVED BY SECURED CREDITORS. Each
Secured Creditor shall promptly put in the custody, possession or control of the
Collateral Agent for disposition or distribution in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.1 any Collateral, or proceeds therefrom, over which such
Secured Creditor obtains custody, control or possession. Until such time as each
Secured Creditor shall have complied with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, such Secured Creditor shall be deemed to hold such
Collateral or proceeds in trust for the parties entitled thereto hereunder.

         5.3      RATABLE SHARING OF CERTAIN AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY SECURED
CREDITORS. Each Secured Creditor severally agrees that if it, through the
exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim against a Party,
or otherwise, receives payment of the Aggregate Permitted Obligations held by it
that is ratably more than any other Secured Creditor, through any means,
receives in payment of the Aggregate Permitted Obligations held by that Secured
Creditor, then: (a) the Secured Creditor exercising the right of setoff,
banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall notify
the Collateral Agent and thereafter shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have
simultaneously purchased, from the other Secured Creditor a participation in the
Aggregate Permitted Obligations held by the other Secured Creditor and shall pay
to the other Secured Creditor a purchase price in an amount so that the share of
the Aggregate Permitted Obligations held by each Secured Creditor after the
exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of
payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of
the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and
(b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from
time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Secured Creditors
share any payment obtained in respect of the Aggregate Permitted Obligations
ratably in accordance with each Secured Creditor's share of the Aggregate
Permitted Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the
payment; PROVIDED that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment
obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien,
counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Secured
Creditor by the Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the
rights of the Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and
the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery. Each
Secured Creditor that purchases a participation in the Aggregate Permitted
Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the
right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Aggregate
Permitted Obligations purchased to the same extent as

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

though the purchasing Secured Creditor were the original owner of the
Aggregate Permitted Obligations purchased. Each Party expressly consents to
the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Secured Creditor holding a
participation in an Aggregate Permitted Obligation so purchased may exercise
any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to
the participation as fully as if the Secured Creditor were the original owner
of the Aggregate Permitted Obligation purchased; PROVIDED, however, that each
Secured Creditor agrees that it shall not exercise any right of setoff,
banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the Aggregate Permitted
Obligations without first obtaining the consent of the Required Creditors.

right it may now or hereafter have to require the Collateral Agent to marshal
