                       MISSISSIPPI BAND OF CHOCTAW INDIANS
                                      d/b/a
                      CHOCTAW RESORT DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE

         This Agreement is made effective as of March 20, 2002, by and between
Anthony Taeubel (hereinafter called "Executive") and the Mississippi Band of
Choctaw Indians d/b/a Resort Development Enterprise (hereinafter called
"Employer").

         Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         Section 1.        Duties of Executive:

         Employer hereby employs Executive as the Chief Operating Officer of
Gaming Operations on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated. Executive
hereby agrees that during the term of his employment hereunder, he will
faithfully, industriously and to the best of his ability and experience perform
all duties (as listed in Exhibit A) that may be required of him by virtue of his
position as Chief Operating Officer of Gaming Operations and all duties of the
Chief Operating Officer of Gaming Operations as may be set forth in Employer's
By-Laws or resolutions of the Employer's Board of Directors to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Employer's President and Board of Directors and in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. The employment pursuant to
this Agreement shall be considered full-time employment, such that Executive
shall devote necessary time, attention and energy to Employer's business and
shall not during the term of this Agreement accept other employment for gain or
profit without the prior written consent of Employer. However, the acceptance of
full-time employment under this Agreement will not restrict Executive from
making investments in other business enterprises, so long as such other
businesses do not compete with Employer and do not violate any conflict of
interest restrictions of the Employer.

         Section 2.        Compensation:

         (a)      Base Salary. Employer agrees to pay to Executive as
                  compensation for the services to be performed by him during
                  the term of his employment hereunder, a salary at the rate of
                  $260,000.00 per annum subject to an annual merit increase as
                  recommended by the President and approved by the Board of
                  Directors. Such annual salary, as adjusted each Employer
                  fiscal year, shall be payable in equal bi-weekly installments
                  throughout the term of the contract.

         (b)      The Executive shall receive an annual basis bonus in an amount
                  determined by using the bonus calculation methodology
                  contained in Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise bonus plan
                  dated May 3, 2001. For purpose of Executive's bonus
                  calculation, Executive shall be considered as a "Tier 1" level
                  employee.

         (c)      Employer will pay Executive those fringe benefits and leave
                  time provided regular full-time employees as set forth in the
                  Administrative Personnel Policies and Procedures of the
                  Enterprise.

         Section 3.        Term and Renewal:

          (a)  The term of this  Agreement  shall commence on March 20, 2002 and
               end on March 19, 2006,  unless renewed pursuant to paragraph 3(b)
               or unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 4.

          (b)  This  Agreement  may be renewed upon  agreement in writing by the
               parties. The Executive shall propose terms for a renewal at least
               six  (6)  months  prior  to the  expiration  of  this  Agreement.
               Employer  shall  respond to said terms within three (3) months of
               the expiration of this Agreement.

         Section 4.        Termination:

          (a)  Mutual  Agreement.  This  Agreement may be terminated at any time
               upon the mutual written agreement of the parties.

          (b)  Disability.   If  Executive  is  unable  to  perform  his  duties
               hereunder  due to  illness  or  disability  for a  period  of 180
               consecutive  days,  then  Employer  may  at  its  option  hire  a
               replacement  and/or terminate this Agreement,  and Employer shall
               pay salary earned through the effective  date of termination  and
               any benefits that have vested prior to such termination.

          (c)  Death. If Executive dies during the term of this Agreement,  this
               Agreement  shall  automatically  terminate,  and Employer's  only
               obligation  shall be to pay any  portion of the salary  earned by
               Executive and any benefits that have vested in Executive pursuant
               to this Agreement prior to termination.

          (d)  Employer  Unilateral  Termination  or  Nonrewewal.  Employer  may
               terminate  this  Agreement  for any reason at any time  effective
               upon  recommendation  of the President and a majority vote of the
               Directors at a meeting of the entire Board of Directors. However,
               in the event of such  unilateral  termination  (for reasons other
               than those  specified in Section 4 (a)(b) or (c)),  then Employer
               shall pay  Executive  one (1) year  base  salary in effect on the
               date of  termination.  Employer  shall  not be  required  to make
               compensation   continuation   payments,  and  continue  insurance
               benefits  pursuant  to  this  paragraph  if (i)  the  termination
               results from the  conviction of the  Executive of a felony,  (ii)
               the termination results from the Executive's  continued violation
               of Employer By-Laws,  violation of the tribal,  state, or federal
               laws or regulations relating to Employer operations, or violation
               of the prohibition against the Executive having an interest in an
               enterprise  that  competes with Employer for a period of at least
               ten (10) days after  receiving a written notice from the Board of
               Directors that specifies the violation,  or (iii) Executive fails
               to meet the standards of performance to the  satisfaction  of the
               President and Board of Directors in Exhibit "A" which is attached
               and incorporated  herein, or (iv) the Employer's business is sold
               or  discontinued.  Executive's  acceptance  of  other  employment
               following  Employer's  termination  shall not  affect  Employer's
               obligations under this paragraph; except that if Executive shall,
               either directly or indirectly  accept employment with or make any
               investment  in or  receive  any  compensation  from any  business
               enterprise  in  competition   with  Employer,   then   Employer's
               obligations of continued payments shall cease.

          (e)  Facility  Closure.  In the event Employer  closes its facilities,
               Employer  shall  continue  to pay  Executive  his base salary and
               continue insurance benefits for a period of one (1) year from the
               date of the facility closing.

          (f)  Resignation.  The Executive may terminate  this  Agreement at any
               time  effective  upon sixty (60) days prior to written  notice to
               Employer.  No bonus,  salary  or  benefit  continuation  shall be
               payable in such situation.

         Section 5.        Employer Property:

         Executive agrees that upon termination, expiration or resignation, he
will promptly return to Employer any property owned by Employer.

         Section 6.        Confidentiality:

         Employer has developed and compiled, at substantial cost, certain
products, technology, commercial data, and other materials that are confidential
and proprietary in nature. Executive agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
any such products, technology, financial data, and other materials and
information developed or produced by Employer, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians, or the predecessors, successors or affiliated companies of any of them
of which Executive gains knowledge or access by reason of his employment
relationship with Employer. Executive further agrees that he will not use or
disclose, either directly or indirectly, any of such products,

                                       2

technology,  data, or information  unless (i) the  information  has already
been made public  without any  participation  by Executive,  (ii)  disclosure is
required by law or regulation,  or (iii) Employer,  its joint venture  partners,
and their affiliated  companies having a proprietary interest in the information
or technology consent in writing to the disclosure.

         Section 7.        Severability:

           It is agreed that if any clause or provision of this Agreement is
found by the court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of
Agreement shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties
shall be enforced as if the Agreement did not contain such illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable clause or provision.

         Section 8.        Waiver of Provisions:

         Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on
performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of relinquishment of any right
granted hereunder or of the future performance of any such term or condition or
of any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such waiver is
contained in a writing signed by or on behalf of both parties.

         Section 9.        Notices:

Section 12.                Indian Preference:

         The Executive recognizes the principle of Choctaw Self-Determination
and will employ, train, promote or discharge employees of Employer in compliance
with the policy of Indian preference, including formal and on the job training
at the management level, with an annual report to be made through the Chief to
the Tribal Council. A career tracking system will be established by the Tribe
and Employer to allow Choctaw college students to work for Employer with
follow-up and support provided. All steps taken in furtherance of Indian
Preference are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the
Employer.

Section 13.                Covenant Not to Compete.

          (a)  Restrictions.  In consideration  of the confidential  information
               disclosed to Executive  and as an inducement to Employer to enter
               into  this  Agreement  and to pay the  compensation  referred  to
               herein, Executive agrees that, unless otherwise agreed in writing
               by Employer,  during the term of this  Agreement  and  continuing
               until the end of twelve (12) months following  termination of his
               employment  pursuant  to Section  4(f)  (Resignation),  Executive
               shall not enter  negotiations for any investment in or employment
               or services with or on behalf of any competitor of Employer.  For
               purposes of this Agreement a competitor of Employer is considered
               to be any gaming facility in Mississippi or Alabama. For purposes
               of this Section,  prohibited  "negotiations"  by Executive  shall
               include the direct or indirect  discussions  of  investments in a
               competitor or contractual arrangements for consulting, employment
               or other  services,  either  as an  individual  or as a  partner,
               employee,  member, officer, director, or shareholder of any legal
               entity.

          (b)  Remedies.   Executive  has  carefully  read  and  considered  the
               provision of this  Section,  and having done so,  agrees that the
               restrictions are fair and reasonable and are reasonably  required
               for the  protection  of the  investment  of  Employer  and do not
               prevent  Executive  from  earning  a  livelihood  in the event of
               termination  of  employment  pursuant to this  Agreement.  In the
               event of a breach or  threatened  breach by  Executive of any the
               provision of this  Section,  Employer,  in addition to and not in
               limitation  of other  rights,  remedies or damages  available  to
               Employer  at law or in equity,  shall be  entitled to a permanent
               injunction  in order to prevent or  restrain  any such  breach by
               Executive or by Executive's  future partners,  employers,  or any
               other third persons  acting  directly or  indirectly  for or with
               Executive. Without limiting the foregoing, Employer shall also be
               entitled to seek actual  damages  which  Employer may suffer as a
               result of a violation of this Section.

          (c)  Reformation.  In the  event  that any of the  provisions  of this
               Section  13 shall be held to be  invalid  or  unenforceable  by a
               court  of  law,  the  remaining   provisions  shall  nevertheless
               continue  to be valid and  enforceable  as though the  invalid or
               unenforceable  parts had not been included,  and the restrictions
               on time and locations of practice may be reformed by the court so
               as not to exceed the maximum time period or location restrictions
               which the court deems reasonable and enforceable.

Section 14.                Comps

         Executive acknowledges that under tribal law he cannot and shall not be
allowed to grant "comps" to members of the Tribal Council.

Section 15.                Pearl River Resort Handbook

         Executive understands that he is responsible for implementing,
mentoring, and carrying out the Resort mission, values, and terms of the Pearl
River Resort Handbook.

Section 16.                Governing Law

         This Agreement and any related documents shall be construed according
to the laws of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and the State of
Mississippi (pursuant to Section 1-1-4, Choctaw Tribal Code.) Exclusive venue
and jurisdiction shall be in the Tribal Court of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians. This Agreement and

any  related  document  is subject to the  Choctaw  Tribal Tort Claims Act.
