RECITALS:

 

A.            The
Lender has made a certain credit facility available to the Borrower in
accordance with the terms and conditions set out in an amended and restated
credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of July 22, 2005, between
the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lender, the Agent and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.,
a Division of Bank of Montreal, as arranger, and as amended from time to time.

 

B.            The
Borrower, the Lender and the Agent have agreed to further amend the Loan
Agreement.

 

C.            The
Guarantors have agreed to confirm the guarantees and security granted by them
in connection with the Loan Agreement.

 

D.            Article 7
of the Loan Agreement sets out certain affirmative and negative obligations
which the Borrower has covenanted to be bound by and has agreed to follow
unless the Agent, on behalf of the Lender, waives in writing.

 

 

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged)
the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                              Interpretation

 

Capitalized
terms not defined in this Eighteenth Amending Agreement have the meaning given
to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

2.                              Loan
Agreement Amendments

 

The
parties hereto agree to amend the Loan Agreement by deleting the definition of “Termination
Date” in section 1.1.120 and replacing it with the following new definition of
Termination Date:

 

“Termination Date” means November 17th, 2008, or
such earlier date as the entire balance of the Loans under the Credit Facility
may become due hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise; or, in each
case, such later date to which the Credit Facility has been extended pursuant
to section 2.5. For greater certainty, the Lender and the Borrower agree
that if (x) the maturity date under the Bridge Loan Agreement (as defined
below) is amended such that it occurs prior to December 1st, 2008 for any
reason (other than an Event of Default thereunder) or (y) under the
Gulfstream Agreement (as defined below) the maturity date or the Pre-Payment
Make-Whole Amount Forgiveness Date (as such term is defined therein) are
amended such that either occurs prior to December 1st, 2008 for any
reason, then the Termination Date hereunder will be deemed to be such date that
is 14 days prior to such amended date thereunder.

hereof and as may be amended from time to time (the “Bridge Loan
Agreement”), the maturity date shall be extended such that it occurs
on or later than December 1st, 2008;

 

(b)           with respect to the Third Amended and Restated Gulfstream Park Loan

(c)           the representations and warranties of the Borrower set out in
section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof
provided if any such representation and warranty is specifically given as of
any particular date or particular period of time, then such representation and
warranty shall continue to be given as at such date or such period of time;

Agreement

 

Save
as expressly amended by this Eighteenth Amending Agreement, all other terms and
conditions of the Loan Agreement and each of the Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect, unamended, and this Eighteenth Amending Agreement constitutes
a Loan Document for the purposes of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                              Confirmation
of Guarantee and Security

 

Each
of the Guarantors acknowledges and confirms that (i) the guarantee granted

WHEREAS the
Lender, as lender, the Borrower, as borrower, and the Guarantors, as guarantors, are parties to a bridge
loan agreement made as of September 12, 2007, as amended by a First
Amending Agreement (the “First Bridge Loan Amending
Agreement”) made as of the 23rd day of May, 2008, as
amended by a Second Amending Agreement (the “Second
Bridge Loan Amending Agreement”) made as of the 13th day
of August, 2008, as amended by a Third Amending Agreement (the “Third Bridge Loan Amending Agreement”) made as of the 15th
day of September, 2008 (such bridge loan agreement, as amended and as may be
further amended, modified, renewed or replaced from time to time being referred
to herein as the “Bridge Loan Agreement”);

 

AND WHEREAS on September 11, 2007, the Borrower’s
Board of Directors approved and adopted a plan (the “MEC Debt Elimination Plan”) (referenced in the Bridge Loan Agreement as the Borrower Restructuring Plan) to restructure the
Borrower’s balance sheet through the sale of certain assets and entering into
strategic partnerships or joint ventures to allow the Borrower to substantially
eliminate its debt by December 31, 2008, and to pursue a business plan
focused on achieving sustainable profitability;

 

AND WHEREAS the MEC Debt Elimination Plan contemplated the sale of assets
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain of those
Properties owned by the Borrower that constitute collateral for the Loan;

 

AND WHEREAS the sale of assets under the MEC Debt
Elimination Plan continues to take
longer than originally contemplated and, although the Borrower continues to take steps to implement the MEC Debt
Elimination Plan, it does not expect to execute the MEC Debt Elimination Plan
on the originally contemplated time schedule, if at all;

 

AND WHEREAS on March 31, 2008, the
Board of Directors of MI Developments Inc. (“MID”),
an affiliate of the Lender and the controlling shareholder of the Borrower,
received a reorganization proposal on behalf of various shareholders of MID
that would, among other things, alter the relationship between MID and the
Borrower;

 

AND WHEREAS  on June 27, 2008, MID announced that, in light of shareholder
discussions relating to potential amendments to the reorganization proposal,
the special meeting of MID shareholders to consider the reorganization
proposal, previously called for July 24, 2008, was being postponed;

 

AND WHEREAS despite
discussions between MID and various of its shareholders relating to potential
amendments to the reorganization proposal, no consensus has been reached with
respect to such amendments, and, therefore, MID intends to continue to explore
a range of alternatives with respect to its investment in the Borrower;

 

AND WHEREAS on August 22,
2008, MID announced that it had retained GMP Securities L.P. as a financial
advisor to MID management to liaise with shareholders in an attempt to develop
a consensus on how best to reorganize MID;

certain additional arrangement and extension fees, all on the terms and
conditions set out therein;

 

AND WHEREAS pursuant to the Second Bridge Loan
Amending Agreement the parties to the Bridge Loan Agreement have amended the Bridge Loan Agreement to, inter alia: (i) extend the Maturity Date of the
Loan from August 31, 2008 to September 30, 2008; and (ii) provide
for an extension fee, all on the terms and conditions set out therein;

 

AND WHEREAS pursuant to the Third Bridge Loan Amending
Agreement the parties to the Bridge Loan Agreement have amended the Bridge Loan Agreement to, inter alia: (i) extend the Maturity Date
of the Loan from September 30, 2008 to October 31, 2008; and (ii) provide
for an extension fee, all on the terms and conditions set out therein;

 

AND WHEREAS  the parties to the Bridge Loan
Agreement have agreed
to further amend the Bridge Loan Agreement to, inter alia:
(i) increase the Loan Amount from $110,000,000 to $125,000,000; and (ii) provide that Loan Amounts borrowed and repaid in July 2008
may be reborrowed,
all on the terms and conditions set out herein;

 

AND WHEREAS the Lender has
provided a letter to the Borrower determining in writing that the Maturity Date
shall be December 1, 2008 (or such later date or dates as may be determined in writing from time to
time by the Lender in its sole discretion, with such later date or dates being
subject to such conditions as may be determined by the Lender in its sole
discretion);

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement and the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other and for other good and valuable consideration (the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto
covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all

and Warranties.  The Borrower and the

representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement and
notwithstanding the completion of the transactions contemplated herein, that: (i) all
of the recitals to this Agreement are true and complete in all material
respects; (ii) except as specifically qualified in the Disclosure
Schedule, all of the representations and warranties of the Borrower in Article 5
of the Bridge Loan Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof as if made
on and as of the date hereof; and (iii) there are no facts, conditions or
circumstances that are known to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors and that
may reasonably be considered relevant to the Lender’s decision to enter into
this Agreement that have not been disclosed in writing to the Lender.

Guarantor hereby consents to any termination or modification of the automatic
stay as requested by the Lender under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code,
and hereby expressly waive any and all rights, protections and benefits of the
automatic stay or similar injunctive relief available under the Bankruptcy
Code.”

 

4.             Conditions Precedent.  The amendments
contained in this Agreement shall be conditional upon the satisfaction (or
waiver by the Lender) of all of the following conditions (collectively, the “Conditions  Precedent”): (i) the Borrower extending the maturity of the BMO
Credit Agreement to no earlier than November 17, 2008 on terms satisfactory to the Lender in
its sole and absolute discretion; (ii) the delivery by the Borrower to the

deemed to be a reference to the Bridge Loan Agreement as amended by this
Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not be deemed or
construed to create or constitute a waiver, release, or relinquishment of, and
shall not affect, the liens, security interests and rights, remedies and
interests thereunder, all of which are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed and
extended in all respects.  Without
limiting the foregoing, each of Borrower and the Guarantors reaffirms to the

agreements set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the principal balance of the Loan as of October 15,

relating to the Loan, any Loan Documents, or the Collateral, or this Agreement
(collectively, “Defenses”),
that can be asserted to (a) amend, modify, reduce, suspend, abate,
subordinate or eliminate all or any part of the Borrower’s liability for the
Loans or its obligations under the Loan Documents, or any of the Guarantor’s
liabilities or obligations under any guaranty, or (b) seek relief or
damages of any kind or nature, including affirmative or equitable, from the
Lender with respect to any of the Collateral. 
The Borrower and each Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that to
the extent that any such Defenses should (or could, with the lapse of time or
the giving of notice or both) now or hereafter in fact exist, including without
limitation, any usury or lender liability claim, all such Defenses are being
fully, finally and irrevocably waived, released and extinguished by the
Borrower and the Guarantors as agreed to between the parties.

 

7.             Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall enure
