         This Development Agreement is made as of the 8th day of July, 1999
by and between the POKAGON BAND OF POTAWATOMI INDIANS (the "Band"), and LAKES
GAMING, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "Lakes").

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Band, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. ss. ss. 1300j et seq. (the
"Restoration Act"), is a federally recognized Indian tribe recognized as
eligible by the Secretary of the Interior for the special programs and services
provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians and
is recognized as possessing powers of self-government.

         B. As authorized by the Restoration Act, the Band intends to acquire
the Gaming Site in the State of Michigan, to be held by the federal government
in trust for the Band, on which the Band intends to construct and operate a
permanent Class III gaming facility (the "Facility"); and the Band will possess
sovereign governmental powers over the Gaming Site pursuant to the Band's
recognized powers of self government, and the Band desires to use the Gaming
Site to improve the economic conditions of its members.

         C. The Band, on the same date as the date of this Agreement, has
entered into a management agreement with Lakes, whereby Lakes, subject to
receipt of regulatory approvals, will manage the Facility (the "Management
Agreement"); and Lakes and the Band want to take all steps reasonably possible
prior to the receipt of the regulatory approvals (i) to select the site for,
contract for and if necessary purchase the site for the Facility, (ii) to design
the Facility, and (iii) to enter into contracts to construct and equip the
Facility to be effective when all regulatory approvals have been obtained or as
soon thereafter as feasible, so that the Facility can be opened to the public as
soon as possible thereafter.

         D. The Band has selected Lakes to assist the Band by obtaining
commitments for financing the Facility and by furnishing technical experience
and expertise for the development and design, and for contracting for the
construction, furnishing and equipping of the Facility.

         E. The Band and Lakes intend that their relationship with regard to the
preliminary development of the Facility shall be an exclusive arrangement.

         F. The Band and Lakes desire to enter into an agreement whereby
preliminary Facility design and development work (but not Facility construction
or operation) may

                                       1

<PAGE>   8

proceed prior to receipt of regulatory approvals and whereby the exclusive
nature of the relationship between Lakes and the Band shall be preserved.

         G. Lakes has agreed to lend certain funds and to assist the Band in
obtaining certain loans in amounts sufficient to finance acquisition of tribal
lands and to develop, finance the construction of, and operate the Facility, and
has agreed to make certain other loans and pay certain other fees to the Band as
consideration for the exclusive right to develop the Facility and manage the
Facility pursuant to the Management Agreement, and for other development rights
described in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions
and promises herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
expressly acknowledged, the Band and Lakes hereby agree as follows:

operating the Temporary Facility shall be funded out of the Development Loans,
which shall be increased by an amount equal to the incremental cost of
constructing and operating the Temporary Facility and reasonably acceptable to
the Band and Lakes. Such incremental costs, if advanced under the Lakes

                                  DESIGN PHASE

         Section 4.1. Employment of Architect. Lakes shall recommend to the Band
a minimum of three duly licensed architects, who shall be familiar with the
design of gaming facilities, for interview by the Pokagon Council, and the Band
shall select an architect from the group or, if none of the first group is found
acceptable to the Band, groups recommended by Lakes. The Band shall employ such
architect (the "Architect") for the purpose of performing certain services in
connection with the design and construction of the Facility, including site
development. The Band's agreement with the Architect shall be in the form of a
contract (the "Design Agreement") approved by Lakes and the Pokagon Council. The
scope of the project contemplated by this Agreement (the "Project"), shall be
stated and established in the Design Agreement, and shall be subject to the
mutual approval of the parties, but shall incorporate at a minimum the Initial
Scope of Work (subject to the provisions of ss. 4.4). The scope of design shall
not include, but the design shall facilitate, the possibility of the Band later
designing and constructing phased expansions of the hotel, theme retail space,
golf course and other amenities. The Design Agreement shall also provide for and
establish appropriate design packages ("Design Packages"), each pertaining to a
discrete portion or phase of the Project. The Design Agreement shall allow Lakes
the right and responsibility to supervise, direct, control and administer the
duties, activities and functions of the Architect and to efficiently carry out
its covenants and obligations under this Agreement; but the Design Agreement
shall provide that the Architect will consult closely with the Band and the
Band's advisers, and that all design elements shall be subject to review and
approval by the Band.

         Section 4.2. Design and Construction Budgets. Lakes, with the
assistance and input of the Architect and subject to the approval of the Pokagon
Council, shall establish a preliminary Development Budget (the "Preliminary
Development Budget") for designing, constructing, furnishing and equipping the
Facility and related costs and Development Expenditures. The Preliminary
Development Budget, as approved by the Pokagon Council and as it may be amended
with the approval of the Pokagon Council, is referred to as the "Approved
Development Budget." The Approved Development Budget shall reflect planned
phasing, if any; but the initial phase of the Project shall include, at a
minimum, the Initial Scope of Work except as provided in ss. 4.4. Lakes may,
after notice to and approval by the Pokagon Council, revise the aggregate
Approved Development Budget from time to time as necessary or appropriate to
reflect any unpredicted changes, variables or events or to include additional
and unanticipated Project costs. Lakes may, at is sole discretion after notice
to and approval by the Business Board, reallocate part or all of the amount
budgeted with respect to any line item to another line item and to make such
other modifications to the Approved Development Budget as Lakes deems necessary
or appropriate, provided that: (i) the cumulative modifications of the Approved

                                       15

<PAGE>   22

Development Budget for all Design Packages shall not, without Lakes's prior
approval and the Pokagon Council's prior approval, exceed the aggregate Approved
Development Budget, and (ii) any modifications shall not otherwise conflict with
the terms of this Agreement. Approved Development Budget adjustments which
otherwise vary from the terms of the Agreement, shall, in addition to requiring
Lakes's approval, require the approval of the Pokagon Council. The Band
acknowledges that the Approved Development Budget is intended only to be a
reasonable estimate of Project costs, subject, however, to the provisions of ss.
5.8 with regard to cost overruns.

         Section 4.3. Gaming Regulatory Authority Expenses. The Approved
Development Budget shall include such amounts as the Band determines, after
consultation with Lakes, are reasonable and necessary to assure that the GRA is
able to fulfill its regulatory role in a manner that does not slow the opening
of the Facility (including the Temporary Facility, if any); provided that the
cost of final preparation and approval of the Gaming Ordinance shall not exceed
$20,000.

         Section 4.4 Modification of Initial Scope of Work. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article, the Initial Scope of Work may be reduced as follows:

         i.    The Band and Lakes may at any time notify the other party that it
               believes that unanticipated material adverse changes in local
               gaming market conditions (not including changed economic
               conditions, whether locally or in the economy generally) make
               construction of the Facility to the Initial Scope of Work not
               feasible. In that event both parties shall negotiate in good
               faith to determine what adjustments, if any, in the Initial Scope
               of Work are appropriate in light of the changed local gaming
               market conditions; provided that such adjustments shall not
               result in a Facility, if located in New Buffalo, Michigan, with
               fewer than 1,350 slot machines, 60 table games and 40,000 sq.ft.
               of gaming space.

         ii.   Lakes and the Band recognize that the Initial Scope of Work is
               premised on the Gaming Site being in New Buffalo, Michigan. If
               the Gaming Site is not in New Buffalo, the Initial Scope of Work
               shall not control. The parties shall in such event negotiate in
               good faith to determine what adjustments, if any, in the Initial
               Scope of Work are appropriate in light of the site chosen,
               provided that the following minimum scale shall apply:

                   A. If the Gaming Site is in Benton Harbor, 1,350 slot
                   machines, 60 gaming tables and 40,000 sq. ft. of gaming
                   space; and

                                       16

<PAGE>   23

                   B. If the Gaming Site is in Hartford, 800 slot machines, 35
                   gaming tables and 25,000 sq. ft. of gaming space.

         iii.  If the Gaming Site is not located in New Buffalo, Benton Harbor
               or Hartford, no minimum scale shall apply and the appropriate
               scale shall be subject to agreement between the parties.

         Section 4.5. Concept Design and Engineering. Lakes, after consultation
with the Business Board and the Architect, shall prepare for the review and
approval of the Pokagon Council, a statement of requirements for the Facility,
if any, including, but not limited to, planned phasing, if any, a program of
preliminary objectives, schedule requirements, design criteria, including
assumptions regarding HVAC demands, space requirements and relationships,
special equipment and site requirements.

         Section 4.6. Preliminary Program Evaluation. Lakes shall prepare for
review by the Business Board and approval of the Pokagon Council, a preliminary
evaluation of the proposed Project including, but not limited to, planned
phasing, if any, schedule, Development Budget requirements, and alternative
approaches to Project design and construction. Based upon the agreed-upon
schedule, Development Budget requirements and design, the Architect shall
prepare schematic design documents consisting of drawings and other documents
illustrating the scale and relationship of the Facility and any other Enterprise
components, as well as a preliminary estimate of Enterprise costs based upon the
proposed area, size and scope of the Enterprise.

         Section 4.7. Design Development. After review by the Business Board and
upon final approval of the schematic design documents by the Pokagon Council and
Lakes, the Architect shall prepare design development documents consisting of
drawings and other documents to fix and describe the size and character of the
Project as to architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems,
materials and such other elements and/or Design Packages as may be appropriate.
Further, the Architect shall advise Lakes with respect to, and update, any
Development Budget estimates. Lakes shall submit to the Pokagon Council, for its
review and approval, finalized versions of the design development documents
prepared by the Architect and agreed to by Lakes.

         Section 4.8. Plans and Specifications. Based upon the approved design
development documents and any further adjustments in the scope and quality of
the Project or in the Development Budget, the Architect shall prepare for
approval by Lakes and the Business Board construction documents consisting of
preliminary drawings and specifications setting forth the general requirements
for construction of the Project. The Architect shall proceed with completion of
detailed plans and specifications (the "Plans and Specifications") as they
relate to construction of portions of the Facility in the order

                                       17

<PAGE>   24

such portions are to be completed or in the order required for sequential
completion, and shall proceed with completion of all Plans and Specifications as
soon as reasonably possible given construction scheduling and the intended
progress of Project work. The Architect shall advise the Business Board of any
adjustments to previous Development Budget estimates. The Plans and
Specifications shall be designed to accommodate the addition of further
amenities, including without limitation a hotel, parking garage and
bingo/multi-purpose entertainment hall.

         As portions of the detailed Plans and Specifications are completed for
segments of the Project, the Architect shall be required to submit duplicate
copies of those portions of the Plans and Specifications to Lakes and to the
Business Board (for approval prior to release of such documents to prospective
bidders for bidding and prior to commencement of construction of such portions)
and to the Pokagon Council (for information).

         Section 4.9.  Compliance with Construction Standards, Environmental
Laws and Regulations. The Facility shall be designed and constructed so as to
adequately protect the environment and the public health and safety. The design,
construction and maintenance of the Facility shall, except to the extent a
particular requirement or requirements may be waived in writing by the Pokagon
Council, meet or exceed all reasonable minimum standards pertaining to the Band
and national, State and local building codes, fire codes and safety and traffic
requirements (but excluding planning, zoning and Gaming Site use laws,
ordinances, regulations and requirements), which would be imposed on the
Enterprise by existing State or Federal statutes or regulations which would be
applicable if the Facility were located outside of the jurisdictional boundaries
of the Band, even though those requirements may not apply within the Band's
jurisdictional boundaries. To the extent that the Band has adopted or may in the
future adopt more stringent requirements, those requirements shall govern.
Nothing in this subsection shall grant to the State or any political subdivision
thereof any jurisdiction (including but not limited to, jurisdiction regarding
zoning or Gaming Site use) over the Facility or Enterprise or its development,
management and operation.

         Section 4.10. Advance of Funds for Design Work. Notwithstanding any
lack of approval of the Management Agreement or this Agreement by the NIGC,
Lakes shall advance such funds as are reasonably necessary to proceed prior to
Bank Closing with site and facility planning, architectural renderings and
plans, including payments to the Architect pursuant to the Design Agreement,
engineering and environmental services, working drawings and construction
contract bidding documents. All amounts so advanced by Lakes prior to NIGC
Approval and Bank Closing shall be a part of the development cost of the
Enterprise and shall be advanced under the Lakes Note as part of the Lakes
Development Loan.

                               CONSTRUCTION PHASE

         Section 5.1. Selection of Contractor or Construction Lakes. Lakes
shall, in consultation with the Architect and the Business Board, initiate a
pre-bid selection process in order to pre-qualify prospective general
contractors and/or construction management in connection with the construction
of the Facility. Lakes shall submit the list of pre-qualified general
contractors and/or construction Lakes to the Pokagon Council, together with
Lakes's recommendations, for the Pokagon Council's review, comment and approval.
Special consideration shall be given in the selection of contractors and/or
construction managers to companies with a proven history of effective employment
of Native American and local subcontractors.

         Section 5.2. Vendor Preferences. In entering contracts for the supply
of goods and services for the Enterprise, including the selection of contractors
and/or construction managers, subcontractors and suppliers, Lakes shall give
preference to qualified members of the Band, their spouses and children, and
qualified business entities as to which the Band certifies that a member is the
real party in interest, provided their bids are reasonably competitive.
"Qualified" shall mean a member of the Band, a member's spouse or children, or a
business entity certified by the Band to be controlled by members of the Band,
who or which is able to provide services at reasonably competitive prices, has
demonstrated skills and abilities to perform the tasks to be undertaken in an
acceptable manner, in Lakes's opinion, and can meet the reasonable bonding
requirements of Lakes. Lakes shall provide written notice to the Band in advance
of all such contracting, subcontracting and construction opportunities. The Band
reserves the right to require use of union labor on some or all contracts,
subject to review with the Lakes of any related budgetary impact.

         Section 5.3. Proposal Review. Subsequent to the pre-qualification of
prospective contractors and/or construction managers, Lakes shall conduct a
review of responsive proposals for the construction of the Project, and Lakes
shall recommend to the Band a well-qualified construction manager, contractor
and/or contractors. The recommended contractor, contractors and/or construction
manager shall be subject to the approval of the Pokagon Council, shall be
properly licensed in the State of Michigan, and shall be capable of furnishing a
payment and performance bond satisfactory to the Business Board to cover the
construction for which the contractor, contractors and/or construction manager
may be retained.

         Section 5.4. Contracts. The Band shall enter into a construction
management agreement and/or construction contract or contracts (the
"Construction Documents") with the parties selected and approved in the form
negotiated by Lakes and approved by the

                                       19

<PAGE>   26

Business Board for each Construction Document. The Construction Documents shall
provide that work shall begin only after NIGC Approval, and the Construction
Documents may provide that they shall be canceled by either party if NIGC
Approval has not occurred by a specified fixed calendar date. The selected
contractor, construction manager and/or other contracting parties shall be
compensated solely from the proceeds of the Lakes Development Loan and the Bank
Development Loan, subject to, and in accordance with the terms, conditions and
provisions of the Construction Documents and the respective Loan Agreements.

         Section 5.5. Construction Document Provisions. The Construction
Documents shall (i) require the successful construction manager or general
contractor and all contractors to be responsible for providing all materials,
equipment and labor necessary to construct and equip the Project as necessary
including site development; (ii) shall include appropriate provisions assuring
non-payment of Michigan sales and use tax for goods and materials in the Project
(to the extent said exemption is available for the Project); and (iii) require
said construction manager or general contractor and all contractors to construct
the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, including any
changes or modifications thereto approved by the Business Board. The Band agrees
to indemnify Lakes against loss or liability caused by any written direction by
the Pokagon Council not to collect or remit Michigan sales tax. The Construction
Documents will provide for insurance conforming to the applicable insurance
requirements of the Management Agreement, appropriate lien waivers, and for
construction schedules by which milestones, progress payments and late
penalties, if any, may be calculated.

         Section 5.6. Construction Administration. The Construction Documents
shall provide that Lakes shall be responsible for all construction
administration during the construction phase of the Project. Lakes shall act as
the Band's designated representative and shall have full power and complete
authority to act on behalf of the Band in connection with the Construction
Documents. To the extent allowed by the Design Agreement and the Construction
Documents, Lakes shall have control and charge of any persons performing work on
the Project site, and shall interpret and decide on matters concerning the
performance of any requirements of the Construction Documents. Lakes shall have
the authority to reject work which does not conform to the Construction
Documents. Lakes may conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of
substantial completion and the Completion Date. Lakes shall observe and evaluate
or authorize the observation and evaluation of Project work performed, review or
authorize review of applications for payment for submission to the Band and
review or authorize review and certification of the amounts due the contractors
and/or construction Lakes.

         Section 5.7. Construction Commencement and Completion. The Construction
Documents shall contain such provisions for the protection of the Band and

                                       20

<PAGE>   27

Lakes as the Band and Lakes shall deem appropriate; shall provide that the
construction of the Project shall commence on NIGC Approval, following and
subject to the granting of all approvals necessary to commence construction; and
shall also provide that any contractor shall exert its best efforts to complete
construction within such time as the Band and Lakes agree following the
commencement of construction. All contractors shall, at a minimum, warrant their
respective portions of the work to be performed to be free of defects for at
least one year after the Completion Date.

         Section 5.8. Determination of Approved Construction Costs; Cost
Overruns. Promptly upon the Band's execution of the Construction Documents, the
Architect shall submit a final estimate of Construction Costs, which estimate
shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lakes and the Pokagon Council.
This estimate of Construction Costs, as so approved, is referred to as "Approved
Construction Costs." Lakes shall pay, without repayment from the Enterprise or
recourse to the Band, Construction Costs to the extent they exceed the lesser of
(a) such Approved Construction Costs (including the approved contingency
reserve), as such costs may change because of change orders approved by the Band
or amendments to the Approved Development Budget approved by the Band, or (b)
$135,000,000, or such other amount as the Pokagon Council and Lakes may agree;
in each case except insofar as such overruns are caused by Force Majeure or by
acts or omissions of the Band.

to the Business Board, for its review and approval, the specifications for
Furnishings and Equipment. Thereafter, Lakes shall select and procure vendors
for purchase by the Band of Furnishings and Equipment required to operate the

Equipment shall be financed through the Equipment Loan. Alternatively, in the
sole discretion of the Band, Lakes may arrange for the procurement of
Furnishings and Equipment on lease terms consistent with the terms provided
below as to the Equipment Loan, with such changes as may be approved by the
Business Board. Any commitments for the procurement of Furnishings and Equipment
shall, however, become binding on the Band only upon later of (a) NIGC Approval
or (b) the receipt by Band of a commitment for the Equipment Loan consistent
with the terms of this Agreement.

<PAGE>   29

Use and disbursement of the Monthly Payments, once received by the Band, shall
be at the sole discretion of the Band, and Lakes shall have no responsibility

provided that Lakes shall not be required to make aggregate deposits that exceed
the total amount of fees, loans and other payments to be made by it to or for
the account of the Band under this Agreement. The Account shall:

                  (i)      serve as collateral for liquidated or other damages
                           payable to the Band as provided in the Agreements;
                           and

                  (ii)     serve as a funding mechanism as provided in the
                           Control Agreement, at Lakes's option, for Lakes's
                           obligation to make payments to the Band (other than
                           the Scholarship Program Fee) and to make advances
                           under the Lakes Development Loan.

investment vehicles are liquid and do not include equities, swaps, derivatives,
commodities, or speculative instruments. Lakes shall inform the Band of the
nature and terms of the financial instruments in which the escrowed funds are
invested. Income from the Account shall be payable to Lakes prior to a Lakes
Event of Default. After a Lakes Event of Default,income shall be payable to the

entitled to reasonable compensation acceptable to the Band and Lakes and to
reimbursement of expenses, all of which shall be payable from the Account prior
to a Lakes Event of Default and, after such an Event of Default, by Lakes.
Payments into the Account shall not be deemed advances to the Band for purposes

                           i.       Amount:  $57,000,000.

                           ii.      Lakes shall not be required to provide its
                                    guarantee of the Bank Development Loan or
                                    any other credit enhancements.

                           iii.     The loan commitment or undertaking shall not
                                    be assignable by either Lakes or the Band
                                    without the written consent of both parties.

                           iv.      Lakes may after the Commencement Date seek
                                    to refinance the Bank Development Loan, to
                                    the extent it is made by a third party
                                    lender with Lakes' guarantee. The Band
                                    agrees to cooperate with that refinancing,
                                    provided that (I) all costs and expenses of
                                    the refinancing are borne by Lakes, (II) the
                                    terms of the refinancing are in all respects
                                    no less favorable to the Band than provided
                                    in this Agreement and the Bank Loan
                                    Agreement (including, without limitation,
                                    interest rate, amortization, and recourse),
                                    and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to
                                    the Band; and (III) the refinanced debt
                                    shall not be payable on termination of the
                                    Agreements with Lakes, provided that
                                    management of the Enterprise after such
                                    termination shall be reasonably acceptable
                                    to the lender.

                           v.       Lakes shall proceed promptly and with due
                                    diligence after NIGC Approval to assist the
                                    Band in obtaining a bank commitment or firm
                                    underwriting commitment for the Bank
                                    Development Loan, and in closing on the Bank
                                    Development Loan promptly after obtaining
                                    such commitment.

                           vi.      If the Band, with Lakes' assistance, is
                                    unable to obtain within 120 days after NIGC
                                    Approval a bank commitment or firm
                                    underwriting commitment to provide the Bank
                                    Development Loan on the terms set forth in
                                    this Agreement at an interest rate equal to
                                    or less than 13%, Lakes agrees that it will
                                    loan the Band $57,000,000 at a 13% interest
                                    rate on the same terms as provided in this
                                    Agreement with regard to the Bank
                                    Development Loan. Lakes agrees that the
                                    Band's inability to obtain such a commitment
                                    shall be presumed if it cooperates

                                    with the reasonable requests of Lakes in

                                    the month of the Commencement Date, in equal
                                    monthly payments of principal and interest

                           v.       Lakes shall not be required to provide its

                           vii.     Lakes may after the Commencement Date seek
                                    to refinance the Equipment Loan, to the

                                    that (a) all costs and expenses of the

                                    no less favorable to the Band than provided
                                    in this Agreement and the Equipment Loan
                                    Agreement (including, without limitation,

                           x.       If the Band, with Lakes' assistance, is

                                    equal to or less than 13%, Lakes agrees that
                                    it will loan the Band $35,000,000 at a 13%
                                    interest rate on the same terms as provided

                                    inability to obtain such a commitment shall
                                    be presumed if it cooperates with the
                                    reasonable requests of Lakes in seeking such
                                    financing.

                           i.       (intentionally deleted)

                           ii.      Loan repayments shall be solely out of
                                    revenues of the Enterprise and shall be a
                                    Limited Recourse obligation of the Band. The
                                    Band agrees not to encumber any of the
                                    assets of the Facility or the Enterprise

                                    holder of the Bank Development Loan, which
                                    consent will not be unreasonably withheld;
                                    except that the Band shall have the right
                                    without the consent of Lakes and such holder

                                    Enterprise revenues, as well as first
                                    priority security interests in any

                                    Equipment purchased with the proceeds of the
                                    Equipment Loan, but only if such security
                                    interests are granted to secure loans made
                                    for the benefit of the Enterprise. The Band
                                    shall not lease the Facility or grant a
                                    leasehold mortgage on the Facility without
                                    Lakes' consent.

                           iii.     The Band shall enter into a limited,
                                    transactional waiver of sovereign immunity
                                    and consent to jurisdiction and arbitration
                                    as to the holder of the Bank Note and the
                                    Equipment Note as provided in ss. ss. 14.1
                                    and 14.2 as to Lakes. Governing law shall be
                                    Michigan law unless the Band otherwise
                                    agrees.

                           iv.      All other terms are subject to the Band's
                                    approval, which approval shall not be
                                    unreasonably withheld.

                           v.       The selection of the lenders making the Bank

                                    professionals relating to any such
                                    transaction, shall be subject to the Band's
                                    reasonable approval.

                           vi.      Promptly and with due diligence after NIGC
                                    Approval and transfer of the Gaming Site
                                    into trust, but in no event later than 90

                                    (unless otherwise agreed by the Band), Lakes

                                    commitment from a lender with regard to the
                                    Equipment Loan, the terms of which shall be
                                    consistent with this Agreement and otherwise
                                    reasonably acceptable to the Band, and (b)
                                    increase the amount of the Escrow Account to
                                    $43 million (less amounts previously
                                    advanced under the Lakes Development Loan).

                           vii.     Promptly and with due diligence after NIGC
                                    Approval and transfer of the Gaming Site
                                    into trust, but in no event later than 90
                                    days after such approval and transfer
                                    (unless otherwise agreed by the Band), Lakes
                                    shall deliver to the Band a proposed
                                    commitment or other firm undertaking from a
                                    lender or underwriter with regard to the
                                    Bank Development Loan, the terms of which
                                    shall be consistent with this Agreement and
                                    otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Band.

                           viii.    The Band may, not earlier than two years
                                    after the Commencement Date, seek to
                                    refinance any Loan. Lakes agrees to
                                    cooperate with that refinancing, provided
                                    that (I) all costs and expenses of the
                                    refinancing shall, to the extent that
                                    interest expense is reduced by the
                                    refinancing, be an Operating Expense of the
                                    Facility, and shall otherwise be either
                                    borne by the Band or funded through the
                                    refinancing; and (II) Lakes is not required
                                    to guarantee any new facilities. Interest on
                                    any new facility shall be an Operating
                                    Expense of the Facility.

                           ix.      The Band consents to the grant by Lakes of
                                    other guarantees pari passu to third
                                    parties, provided that such other guarantees
                                    do not and shall not impair Lakes's ability
                                    to perform under the Agreements.

                           x.       The amount of Loans may be reduced if the
                                    Initial Scope of Work is reduced on account
                                    of unanticipated material adverse changes in
                                    gaming market conditions or because of the
                                    Band's selection of a Gaming Site other than
                                    New Buffalo, as provided inss.4.4; the
                                    reduction in each Loan to be a fraction, the
                                    numerator of which is the number of slots in
                                    the Facility, as reduced in scale in
                                    accordance withss.4.4, and the denominator
                                    is the number of slots in the Initial Scope
                                    of Work. The amount of Loans may also be
                                    increased by agreement of Lakes and the Band
                                    to the extent that the

                                       31
<PAGE>   38

                                    Approved Development Budget exceeds the
                                    funds available under the Loans as provided
                                    above.

                           xi.      Lakes's obligation to advance funds under
                                    the Lakes Development Loan (except as
                                    provided in ss. 8.4) and to procure and
                                    close on the Bank Development Loan and the
                                    Equipment Loan are conditioned upon NIGC
                                    Approval. Nothing in this subsection affects
                                    or impairs Lakes's liability for damages in
                                    the event of NIGC Disapproval.

                           xii.     The Band recognizes that if Lakes guarantees
                                    the Bank Development Loan or the Equipment
                                    Loan and pays in full either loan pursuant
                                    to its guarantee, Lakes shall be subrogated
                                    to the rights and remedies of the lender of
                                    the loan so paid.

                                   ARTICLE 10

         Section 10.3. Indiana Casino. Lakes recognizes that the Band intends to
develop a casino in Indiana, and that the Band shall have no obligations to
Lakes in that regard; except that the Band agrees that, if it decides to engage
an outside manager to develop or operate an Indiana casino, it shall discuss
contracting with Lakes for such development or operation for 45 days before
soliciting proposals from third parties as to management or development of that
casino. No obligation to enter into an agreement with Lakes shall be implied
from this undertaking, and the Band shall retain full and absolute discretion in
that regard.

         Section 10.4. Non-Competition. Lakes agrees that for five years after
execution of the Agreements or the Term of the Agreements, whichever is greater,
neither it nor any present or future Insider will directly or indirectly in the

Section 10.5.     Assignment; Change of Control.

      a.       Lakes may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the
               Band's prior written consent, except that Lakes may assign its
               rights under such Agreement, but not its obligations, to a wholly
               owned subsidiary.

      b.       The Band may not  assign its rights under this Agreement; except
               that the Band may, without the consent of Lakes, but subject to
               approval by the Secretary of the Interior or the Chairman of the
               NIGC or his authorized representative, if required, assign this
               Agreement and the assets of the Enterprise to a Corporate
               Commission or other instrumentality of the Band organized to
               conduct the business of the Project and the Enterprise for the
               Band that assumes all obligations herein. No assignment
               authorized hereunder shall be effective until all necessary
               governmental approvals have been obtained. No such assignment
               shall relieve the Band of any obligation hereunder, unless
               otherwise agreed by Lakes or the holder of such obligation.

      c.       The Band shall be entitled to terminate the Agreements if Lakes
               undergoes a Change of Control without the prior written consent
               of the Band. The Band shall not be required to prepay any amounts
               advanced by Lakes or any third party in the event of such
               termination, and such obligations shall remain payable in
               accordance with their payment terms. Lakes agrees to notify the
               Band in writing within 30 days after the occurrence of any event
               described in Clauses I or II in the definition of Change of
               Control, and within 30 days of Lakes's knowledge of any event
               described in Clauses III or IV of that definition.

<PAGE>   40
               "Change of Control," for purposes of this provision, means (I)
               the merger, consolidation or other business combination of Lakes
               with, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of
               Lakes by, any other entity; (II) Lyle Berman's ceasing to be
               either Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Lakes
               (other than on account of death or disability, and except as
               provided at the end of this definition); (III) the acquisition by
               any person or affiliated group of persons not presently a
               shareholder of Lakes of beneficial ownership of 30% or more in
               interest of the outstanding voting stock of Lakes, as determined
               under 17 CFR ss.ss. 240.13d-3 or 240.16a-1; or (IV) the
               acquisition by any person or affiliated group of persons not
               presently a shareholder of Lakes of beneficial ownership of 10%
               or more in interest of the outstanding voting stock of Lakes, as
               determined under 17 CFR ss.ss. 240.13d-3 or 240.16a-1, if a
               majority of the Board of Directors of Lakes is replaced within
               two years after such acquisition by directors not nominated and
               approved by the Board of Directors.

                    Notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, if
               the non-competition provisions of ss. 10.4(a)(i)(B) are breached,
               the following terms shall control:

                    (A)    Lakes shall notify the Band within 30 days of a
                           breach of that subsection, and shall describe in
                           reasonable detail the nature and circumstances of
                           that breach.

                    (B)    The Band shall within 45 days of that notification
                           inform Lakes if it will waive that breach.

                    (C)    If the Band states that it will not waive the breach,
                           Lakes may within 30 days of the Band's notification
                           inform the Band whether Mr. Berman will resign as
                           officer and director of Lakes, and who Lakes proposes
                           as Mr. Berman's successor as Chairman and/or Chief
                           Executive Officer of Lakes. Lakes shall, in
                           connection with that notification, provide the Band
                           with a detailed description of the qualifications and
                           affiliations of the proposed successor.

                    (D)    The Band shall then have 45 days to grant or withhold
                           its consent to that succession, which consent shall
                           not be unreasonably withheld. If the Band so
                           consents, Mr. Berman resigns and the named successor
                           replaces Mr. Berman as Chairman and/or Chief
                           Executive Officer, the breach under ss. 10.4(a)(i)(B)
                           shall be deemed waived.

                    (E)    If the Band does not so consent and its denial of
                           consent is not unreasonable, or if Mr. Berman does
                           not resign and the named successor does not succeed
                           him, Lakes may nominate another

                                       34

<PAGE>   41

                           proposed successor within 30 days, failing which
                           Lakes shall be in default (subject to arbitration).

                    (F)    If Lakes does nominate another proposed successor,
                           subsections (C) and (D) shall apply to the new
                           nominee. If the Band does not consent to the new
                           nominee and its denial of consent is not
                           unreasonable, or if Mr. Berman does not resign and
                           the new nominee does not succeed him, Lakes shall be
                           in default (subject to arbitration).

         Section 10.6. Restrictions on Collateral Development. Lakes agrees that
for five years after execution of the Agreements or the Term of the Agreements,
whichever is greater, neither it nor any present or future Insider will directly
or indirectly purchase any land or operate, manage, develop or have any direct
or indirect interest in any commercial facilities or business venture located
within 20 miles of the Facility without the prior written consent of the Band.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS

         Section 11.1.  Representations and Warranties of the Band. The Band
represents and warrants to Lakes as follows:

                  (i)   The Band's execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement, the Lakes Note and all other instruments and agreements
         executed in connection with this Agreement have been properly
         authorized by the Band and do not require further Band approval.

                  (ii)  This Agreement, the Lakes Note, the Transition Loan
         Note, the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line of Credit and the Control
         Agreement and the Security Agreement have been properly executed, and
         once approved in accordance with Legal Requirements constitute the
         Band's legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the
         Band in accordance with their terms.

                  (iii) There are no actions, suits or proceedings, pending or
         threatened, against or affecting the Band before any court or
         governmental agency, except as disclosed on Exhibit E.

         Section 11.2.  Band Covenants. The Band covenants and agrees as
         follows:

                  (i)   Promptly after the execution of this Agreement it will
         take the steps necessary to adopt and will adopt the Gaming Ordinance.
         The Gaming Ordinance will meet the requirements of IGRA and the
         applicable regulations under IGRA and be consistent with the provisions
         of this Agreement and the Management Agreement, and not adversely
         affect the rights of Lakes hereunder and thereunder.

                                       35
<PAGE>   42

         After adoption of the Gaming Ordinance the Band will establish a
         governmental authority to regulate gaming at the Gaming Site ("the
         Gaming Regulatory Authority" or "GRA"). The Band agrees to consult with
         Lakes concerning the terms of the Gaming Ordinance and any regulations
         adopted thereunder, but the final decision on those matters is in the
         Band's sole discretion.

                  (ii)  After NIGC Approval the Band shall enter into the Bank
         Loan Agreement and the Equipment Loan Agreement and execute the Bank
         Note and the Equipment Note and related closing documentation, all
         subject to the terms provided in this Agreement and Lakes's performance
         of its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (iii) During the term of this Agreement and the Management
         Agreement, the Band shall enact no law impairing the obligations or
         contracts entered into in furtherance of the development, construction,
         operation and promotion of Gaming on the Gaming Site. Neither the
         Pokagon Council nor any committee, agency, board of any other official
         body, and no officer or official of the Band shall, by exercise of the
         police power or otherwise, act to modify, amend, or in any manner
         impair the obligations of contracts entered into by the Pokagon Council
         or the GRA or other parties in furtherance of the financing,
         development, construction, operation, or promotion of Gaming at the
         Gaming Site without the written consent of the non-tribal parties to
         such contracts. Any such action or attempted action shall be void ab
         initio.

                  (iv)  The Band will waive sovereign immunity on the limited
         basis described in Article 14 with respect to the Loans, the Transition
         Loan and the Non-Gaming Land Acquisition Line of Credit.

                  (v)   This Agreement, the Management Agreement, the Lakes
         Note, the Transition Loan Note, the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line of
         Credit, the Control Agreement and the Security Agreement, and each
         other contract contemplated by this Agreement shall, once approved in
         accordance with Legal Requirements, be enforceable in accordance with
         their terms.

                  (vi)  In its performance of this Agreement, the Band shall
         comply with all Legal Requirements.

                  (vii) The Band will not impose taxes on the revenues of the
         Facility or the management fee payable to Lakes, but reserves the right
         to otherwise impose usual and customary taxes and fees on transactions
         at or in connection with the Facility or on the Facilities's employees,
         officers, directors, vendors and patrons. The Band shall be
         specifically permitted to impose (i) charges, assessments, fines or
         fees imposed by governmental entities of the Band which are reasonably
         related to the cost of Tribal governmental regulation of public health,
         safety or welfare, or the integrity of Tribal gaming operations, and
         (ii) other taxes, charges, assessments or fees imposed against the
         Enterprise or property of the Enterprise, or sales, use,

                                       36

         excise, hotel occupancy and other similar taxes (excluding taxes,
         charges, assessments or fees against real or personal property of the
         Facility or on gaming revenues or earnings) of such types and
         percentage amounts not to exceed those imposed by any state or local
         government within the Restricted Territory.

                  (viii) The Band shall not act in any way whatsoever, directly
         or indirectly, to cause this Agreement to be amended, modified,
         canceled, or terminated, except pursuant to its express terms or with
         the consent of Lakes.

         Section 11.3.   Representations and Warranties of Lakes. Lakes
 represents and warrants to the Band as follows:

                  (i)    Lakes's execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement and all other instruments and agreements executed in
         connection with this Agreement have been properly authorized by Lakes
         and do not require further approval.

                  (ii)   This Agreement has been properly executed and
         constitutes Lakes's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
         against Lakes in accordance with its terms.

                  (iii)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or
         threatened against or affecting Lakes before any court or governmental
         agency that would in any material way affect Lakes's ability to perform
         this Agreement, other than litigation disclosed in filings by Lakes
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lakes warrants that no
         litigation so disclosed in any material way affects or will affect
         Lakes' ability to perform under the Agreements.

         Section 11.4.   Lakes Covenants.  Lakes covenants and agrees as
         follows:

                  (i)    Lakes shall comply with all Legal Requirements in its
         performance of the Agreements.

                  (ii)   Lakes has and at all times during the Term shall have
         the financial capacity to pay to the Band all fees and payments and to
         make all advances and loans described in this Agreement.

                  (iii)  Lakes shall not act in any way whatsoever, directly or
         indirectly, to cause this Agreement to be amended, modified, canceled,
         or terminated, except pursuant to its express terms or with the consent
         of the Band.

                  (iv)   Lakes's Internal Expenses shall not be paid by the
         Enterprise from revenues of the Enterprise or the proceeds of any Loan,
         but may be paid by Lakes from Management Fees and loan repayments after
         they are received by Lakes. No officer or employee of Lakes shall
         receive a salary or other payment from the Facility.

<PAGE>   44

                  (v) CRC shall not during the Term of the Management Agreement
         (a) be directly or indirectly affiliated with Lakes or the Facility,
         whether as joint venturer or otherwise, (b) be employed by Lakes or, to
         the knowledge of Lakes, any entity having any contractual relationship
         with Lakes, with regard to the Facility, or (c) directly or indirectly
         receive any payment or anything of value from Lakes from or out of the
         Management Fee or any other payment made to Lakes by the Band or the
         Facility. Lakes agrees to indemnify the Band and its members and hold
         them harmless against all loss, liability and expense relating to
         claims, of whatever kind or nature, of CRC against any one or more of
         them. The Band consents to the execution and delivery by Lakes of a
         certain Conditional Release and Termination Agreement between Lakes and
         CRC dated May 20, 1999, as amended by Amendment dated July, 1, 1999,
         true copies of which are attached as Exhibit F, provided that CRC
         executes and delivers to the Band and its members a general release in
         the form attached as Exhibit G. Lakes warrants that it has no
         agreements or understandings with CRC in any way related to the Band or
         the Enterprise other than as set forth in Exhibit F. The Band further
         agrees that Lakes may hold stock of CRC as collateral for a Lakes'
         guarantee of a loan to a third party, provided that on default it
         proceeds to liquidate such collateral in a reasonably prompt and
         orderly manner, and that Lyle Berman may continue to hold approximately
         350,000 shares of CRC so long as he plays no role in the management of,
         and does not sit on, the board of directors of CRC.

         quorum is present prior to NIGC Approval, either expressly (i)
         repudiates the Management Agreement or the Development Agreement, or
         (ii) authorizes the Band, prior to terminating the Agreements in
         accordance with their terms or expiration of the Term, to enter into
         management or development agreements with a third party with regard to
         a Michigan casino.

If any Band Event of Default occurs, Lakes may, upon written notice to Band,
declare Lakes's commitment to make advances under this Agreement terminated and
Lakes may exercise the rights and remedies available to Lakes provided in this
Agreement; provided, however, that all such rights and remedies shall be Limited
Recourse.

         Section 12.2.  Events of Default by Lakes. The Band shall not be
obligated to perform its obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement if a
Lakes Event of Default, as defined below, has occurred or if any of the

                  (ii)  Lakes shall fail to make any other payments (whether of
         fees, advances or loans) required by this Agreement, and such failure
         shall continue for ten (10) days after the Band gives Lakes written
         notice thereof.

                  (iii) Lakes shall commit any other Material Breach any of
         Lakes's obligations under this Agreement.

         be true if made on the date such performance would otherwise be due.

                  (iv)  Lakes violates the provisions of Article 10 of this
         Agreement, subject to rights of notice and cure to the extent provided
         in that Article.

days) or the 90 day period after such receipt (as to defaults which cannot be
cured within 30 days), whichever is applicable, either party may submit the
matter to arbitration under the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement
set forth at Article 14. The discontinuance or correction of a Material Breach
shall constitute a cure thereof.

         Section 13.1. Voluntary Termination. This Agreement may be terminated
by mutual written consent.

         Section 13.2. Termination if No NIGC Approval. The Band and Lakes may
each unilaterally terminate the Agreements by written notice if NIGC Approval

shall be entitled to terminate the Agreements (i) upon a Band Event of Default
or (ii) as specifically provided in the Agreements.

         Section 13.4. Band Right to Terminate on Lakes Event of Default. The

         Section 13.5. Band Right to Terminate for Material Adverse Change.
Prior to the Commencement Date, the Band shall be entitled to terminate the
Agreements in the event of a Material Adverse Change; provided that the
following procedures shall apply:

                  i.       Lakes shall notify the Band promptly in the event of
                           any Material Adverse Change, and in any event within
                           30 days after its occurrence.

                  ii.      Lakes shall send to the Band copies of all filings by
                           Lakes with the Securities and Exchange Commission
                           under Forms 8K, 10Q and 10K; shall furnish the Band
                           with copies of such other SEC filings that the Band
                           may request; and shall furnish the Band with such
                           other information concerning a Material Adverse
                           Change as the Band may reasonably request.

                  iii.     If the Band believes that a Material Adverse Change
                           has occurred, the Band shall so notify Lakes in
                           writing and shall request specified further
                           assurances of Lakes's continued ability to perform
                           under the Agreements.

                  iv.      Within thirty (30) days after that notification Lakes
                           shall admit or deny the alleged Material Adverse
                           Change, giving the specific basis for its response;
                           shall state whether it agrees to provide the
                           requested further assurances; if it agrees to provide
                           the requested further assurances, shall tender its
                           performance in that regard; and, if it admits a
                           Material Adverse Change but disputes the requested
                           further

                                       41
<PAGE>   48

                           assurances, shall tender such further assurances as
                           it deems sufficient to ensure its continued ability
                           to perform under the Agreements.

                  v.       If Lakes denies the Material Adverse Change or
                           disputes that the requested further assurances are
                           reasonably required to assure the Band of Lakes's
                           continued ability to perform under the Agreements,
                           those issues shall be submitted to arbitration. The
                           arbitrator shall determine whether (A) a Material
                           Adverse Change has occurred; (B) the requested
                           further assurances are reasonably required to assure
                           the Band of Lakes's continued ability to perform
                           under the Agreements; and (C) if a Material Adverse
                           Change has occurred but the requested further
                           assurances are not reasonably required to so assure
                           the Band, what further assurances must be provided by
                           Lakes to reasonably assure the Band of Lakes's
                           continued ability to perform under the Agreements.
                           Any further assurances required under the
                           arbitrator's award must be furnished by Lakes within
                           thirty (30) days after entry of the award.

                  vi.      If Lakes admits the Material Adverse Change but does
                           not furnish further assurances, or if Lakes does not
                           timely provide further assurances pursuant to an
                           arbitrator's award, the Band may terminate the
                           Agreements by written notice to Lakes.

                  vii.     Lakes and the Band agree that the continuing ability
                           of Lakes to make the payments and advances provided
                           under this Agreement, and to ensure the Band can
                           obtain the Loans to develop, construct, equip and
                           operate the Facility provided in this Agreement, is
                           an essential part of the consideration for which the
                           Band bargained in entering into the Agreements.

         Section 13.6. Termination on Buyout.  This Agreement shall terminate if
the Band exercises its option to buy out the Management Agreement in accordance
with its terms.

         Section 13.7. Involuntary Termination Due to Changes in Legal
Requirements. It is the understanding and intention of the parties that the
development, construction and operation of the Enterprise shall conform to and
comply with all Legal Requirements. If during the term of this Agreement, the
Enterprise or any material aspect of Gaming at the Gaming Site is determined by
the Congress of the United States, Department of the Interior of the United
States of America, the NIGC, or the judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction (after expiration of the time within which appeals must be filed or
completion of appeals, if any) to be unlawful under federal law, the obligations
of the parties hereto shall cease and the Agreements shall be of no further
force and effect as of

                                       42

<PAGE>   49

the date of such determination; subject, however, to the following provisions as
to damages:

                  i.       If the date of such determination is prior to the
                           Commencement Date, Lakes shall be entitled to damages
                           to the same extent as provided in ss 14.4 with
                           regard to failure to obtain NIGC Approval.

                  ii.      If the date of such determination is after the
                           Commencement Date:

                                    (A) The Band shall retain all fees and
                           Monthly Payments previously paid or advanced to its
                           pursuant to this Agreement, as well as all Tribal
                           Distributions and Non-Gaming Lands, the Gaming Site
                           and any other property transferred into trust;

                                    (B) Any money loaned to the Band by or
                           guaranteed by Lakes, or owed to Lakes as subrogee (to
                           the extent Lakes has paid under such guarantees)
                           shall be repaid to Lakes or its Affiliates in
                           accordance with the Limited Recourse terms of the
                           Lakes Note, the Transition Loan Note, the Non-Gaming
                           Acquisition Line of Credit and this Agreement; and

                                    (C) The Band shall retain its interest in
                           the title (and any lease) to all Enterprise assets,
                           including the Gaming Site and any fixtures, supplies
                           and equipment, subject to the purchase money security
                           interest in equipment securing the Equipment Loan and
                           any other liens granted in accordance with this
                           Agreement.

               Section 13.8. Repair or Replacement. If the Facility is damaged,
destroyed or condemned so that continued development, construction or operation
of Gaming cannot be or can no longer be continued at the Facility, the Facility
shall at the Band's option be reconstructed if the insurance or condemnation
proceeds, together with any other funds available to the Band, are sufficient to
restore or replace the Facility to a condition at least comparable to that
before the casualty occurred or such other condition as Lakes and the Band may
agree. If the insurance proceeds, together with other funds available to the
Band, are not sufficient to so restore or replace the Facility or are not used
to repair the Facility, the Band shall, with the assistance of Lakes, adjust and
settle any and all claims for such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards,
and such proceeds or award and any undistributed Net Revenues pursuant to
Article 5 of the Management Agreement shall be applied first, as to proceeds or
awards relating to Furnishings and Equipment securing the Equipment Loan, to the
amounts due under the Equipment Loan; second, to the amounts due under the Bank
Development Loan; third, to any remaining balance under the Equipment Loan and
to any other third party liabilities of the Enterprise; fourth, to the Lakes
Development Loan; and fifth, to the Band. Any unpaid balance of the Lakes
Development Loan, after application of such proceeds, shall be repaid as
provided in ss. 14.4 on failure to obtain NIGC Approval.

                     DISPUTE RESOLUTION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         Section 14.1. Band's Waiver of Sovereign Immunity and Consent to Suit.
The Band expressly waives its sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of
permitting or compelling arbitration as provided in this Article 14 and consents
to be sued in the United States District Court for the District in which the
Gaming Site is located (or, if the Gaming Site has not been designated, for the
Western District of Michigan - Southern Division), the United States Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court for the
purpose of compelling arbitration or enforcing any arbitration award or judgment
arising out of this Agreement, the Management Agreement, the Lakes Note, the
Transition Loan Note, the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line of Credit, the Control
Agreement, the Security Agreement, any mortgages granted to Manager securing the
Lakes Note or the Non-Gaming Land Acquisition Line of Credit, or other
obligations between the parties. If the United States District Court lacks
jurisdiction, the Band consents to be sued in the Michigan State Court system
for the same limited purpose. The Band waives any requirement of exhaustion of
tribal remedies. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Band expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right
and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any
such court, and to take such action, including without limitation, repossessing
or foreclosing on any real property not in trust and or on equipment subject to
a security interest, or otherwise giving effect to any judgment entered;
provided, however, that liability of the Band under any judgment shall always be
Limited Recourse, and in no instance shall any enforcement of any kind
whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the Band other than the limited
assets of the Band specified in Section 14.3(i) below. The Band appoints the
Chairman of the Pokagon Council and the Secretary of the Pokagon Council as its
agents for service of all process under or relating to the Agreements. The Band
agrees that service in hand or by certified mail, return receipt requested,
shall be effective for all purposes under or relating to the Agreements if
served on such agents.

         Section 14.2. Arbitration. All disputes, controversies or claims
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Lakes Note, the Transition
Loan Note, the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line of Credit, the Control Agreement and
the Security Agreement or other obligations between the parties shall be settled
by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date demand for
arbitration is made, and the Federal Arbitration Act. The parties agree that
binding arbitration shall be the sole remedy as to all disputes arising out of
this Agreement, except for disputes requiring injunctive or declaratory relief.

                  (i) Choice of Law. In determining any matter the Arbitrator(s)
         shall apply the terms of this Agreement, without adding to, modifying
         or changing the terms in any respect, and shall apply Michigan law.

                  (ii)  Place of Hearing. All arbitration hearings shall be held
         at a place designated by the arbitrator(s) in Kalamazoo, Michigan or at
         such other place agreed to by the parties.

                  (iii) Confidentiality. The parties and the arbitrator(s) shall
         maintain strict confidentiality with respect to the arbitration.

         Section 14.3.  Limitation of Actions. The Band's waiver of immunity
from suit is specifically limited to the following actions and judicial
remedies:

                  (i)   Damages. The enforcement of an award of money and/or
         damages by arbitration; provided that the award of any arbitrator
         and/or court must be Limited Recourse, and no arbitrator or court shall
         have authority or jurisdiction to order execution against any assets or
         revenues of the Band except (A) undistributed or future Net Revenues of
         the Enterprise; (B) as to the Equipment Loan, the Furnishings and
         Equipment securing that Loan; (C) as to the Transition
         Loan and the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line of Credit, if the Commencement
         Date does not occur, Subsequent Gaming Facility Revenues to the extent
         provided in this Agreement; (D) as to the Non-Gaming Acquisition Line
         of Credit, mortgages on the Non-Gaming Lands prior to their transfer
         into trust; and (E) as to the Lakes Note, mortgages on the Gaming Site
         prior to their transfer into trust). In no instance shall any
         enforcement of any kind whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the
         Band other than the limited assets of the Band specified in this
         subsection.

                  (ii)  Consents and Approvals. The enforcement of a
         determination by an arbitrator that the Band's consent or approval has
         been unreasonably withheld contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

                  (iii) Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance. The
         enforcement of a determination by an arbitrator that prohibits the Band
         from taking any action that would prevent Lakes from performing its
         obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or that requires
         the Band to specifically perform any obligation under this Agreement;
         provided, however, that any injunction against the Band shall be
         Limited Recourse; shall not mandate, preclude or affect payment of any
         funds of the Band other than undistributed or future Net Revenues of
         the Enterprise; and shall not related to any asset of the Band other
         than the Facility.

                  (iv) Action to Compel Arbitration. An action to compel
         arbitration pursuant to this Article 14.

         Section 14.4. Damages on Termination for Failure to Obtain NIGC
Approval. In the event of termination of this Agreement under ss.13.2 because
NIGC Approval has not been obtained within five years after Ratification, (i)
the Band shall be obligated to repay Lakes all amounts loaned by Lakes to the
Band under or pursuant to this Agreement, but not fees, non-refundable payments
and other payments not specifically designated as loans or advances under this
Agreement; provided that such repayment shall be made only out of distributions
to the Band from Subsequent Gaming Facility Revenues, and shall be paid in 60
equal monthly instalments of principal and interest beginning one month after
opening of such a facility. To secure this obligation Lakes shall retain its
mortgages, if any, on property of the Band not transferred into trust, and may
foreclose such mortgages (subject to the arbitration provisions of this Article
14) if the Band fails to perform as provided in this subsection. Such payment
and collateral shall be Lakes's sole remedy and recourse in the event of
termination of this Agreement under ss. 13.2. In no event shall Lakes have
recourse in the event of such termination to (a) assets purchased by the Band
with funds advanced by Lakes, except as collateral to the extent provided in
this subsection; (b) assets of any other gaming facility owned or operated by
the Band, other than Subsequent Gaming Facility Revenues; or (c) any other asset
of the Band.

         Section 14.5. Liquidated Damages and Limitations on Remedies. The
following liquidated damages and limitations on remedies apply under this
Agreement, in addition to those provided elsewhere in this Agreement as to
claims and remedies against the Band:

                  Lakes Event of Default prior to the Commencement Date, after
                  such notice and right to cure as may be provided in this
                  Agreement, Lakes shall: (A) forfeit to the Band all amounts in
                  the Account as of the default; (B) pay the Band an amount
                  equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Monthly Payments payable
                  under ss. 8.1(c) over the balance of the 5-year Term, as if
                  the Agreements had not been terminated, and (y) the Accrued
                  Expenses; (C) release all claims against the Band, including
                  without limitation all amounts owed by the Band to Lakes under
                  or related to the Agreements and all rights under the
                  Agreements, and discharge all mortgage and security interests
                  on assets of the Band; (D) transfer to the Band, at the Band's
                  discretion and without payment of any consideration, any and
                  all options and interests in real property in Michigan held by
                  Lakes; and (E) deliver to the Band all documents and work
                  product in the possession or control of Lakes or its agents
                  related to the proposed Facility, the Gaming Site and the Non-
                  Gaming Lands. Lakes agrees to execute and deliver such
                  release,

                                       46

<PAGE>   53

                  discharges and transfer instruments, and to deliver such work
                  product and documents, at the time of payment of liquidated
                  damages.

                  ii. Liquidated Damages Payable by the Band. In the event of a
                  Band Event of Default prior to the Commencement Date, after
                  such notice and right to cure as may be provided in this
                  Agreement, the Band shall: (A) pay Lakes all amounts loaned by
                  Lakes to the Band under this Agreement, but not fees,
                  non-refundable payments and other payments not specifically
                  designated as loans or advances under this Agreement, less the
                  Band's right of offset, if any; such damages to be payable
                  only out of Subsequent Gaming Facility Revenues on the same
                  terms and with the same limitations on recourse as are
                  provided in ss. 14.4 with regard to damages payable by the
                  Band under that subsection; (B) release any interest in the
                  funds in the Account, which shall be released to Lakes; and
                  (C) transfer to Lakes all options and land (other than land
                  held in trust) acquired by the Band through funds advanced by
                  Lakes (or, failing such transfer, Lakes may foreclose on any
                  mortgages it holds on such options or land not held in trust);
                  provided that the amount of any damages payable to Lakes shall
                  be reduced by the amount paid for any options or land
                  transferred by the Band to Lakes.

         Section 14.6. Lakes Continuing Obligations. Nothing in this Article
shall affect or impair Lakes' continuing obligations under ss.ss. 10.4
(non-competition) and 15.13 (confidentiality) of this Agreement, which shall
remain enforceable for the following terms, notwithstanding the termination of
the Agreements and payment of liquidated or other damages: (i) as to ss.10.4,
the greater of five years after execution of the Agreements or one year after
termination; and (ii) as to ss. 15.13, the greater of five years after execution

         Section 14.8. Remedies. In consideration of the agreement to liquidated
damages to the extent provided above, the Band and Lakes each waive the right to
actual, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages to the extent that
liquidated damages are applicable to a default, but shall retain the right to
injunctive relief (i) prior to termination of the Agreements, to enforce rights
and remedies thereunder, subject to the Limited Recourse provisions of this
Agreement as to the Band and the Band's limited waiver of sovereign immunity;
and (ii) after termination, to the extent that provisions of this Agreement
specifically survive such termination, subject to such Limited Recourse
provisions and limited waiver. The injured party shall, where liquidated damages
are not applicable and damages or remedies are not otherwise specified, be
entitled to such

                                       47

<PAGE>   54

damages as it may be entitled to under applicable law, subject to such Limited
Recourse provisions and limited waiver of the Band's sovereign immunity (which
shall apply to all claims against the Band under or relating to the Agreements,
in addition to all Loans).

         Section 14.9. Fees not Damages. In no event shall fees or other
non-refundable payments or Tribal Distributions made by Lakes to Band constitute
damages to Lakes or be repayable by the Band.

                           having been duly adopted, or such other person or
                           entity designated by resolution of the Pokagon
                           Council. Any such approval, consent or action shall
                           not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided
                           that the foregoing does not apply where a specific
                           provision of this Agreement allows the Band an
                           absolute or unilateral right to deny approval or
                           consent or withhold action.

                  b.       Manager. Where approval or consent or other action of
                           Manager is required, such approval shall mean the

                           action of the Business Board is required, any such
                           approval, consent or other action shall not be
                           unreasonably delayed.

         Section 15.19. Ratification. The Agreements are effective upon their
execution by the parties, but the continued rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder are contingent upon Ratification of the Agreements. If
Ratification does not occur, the Agreements and all related documents shall be

by and between the POKAGON BAND OF POTAWATOMI (the "Band"), and LAKES GAMING,
INC., a Minnesota corporation ("Manager") for the operation of a gaming facility

1.1      The Band, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. ss.ss. 1300j et seq. (the
         "Restoration Act"), is a federally recognized Indian tribe
         recognized as eligible by the Secretary of the Interior for
         the special programs and services provided by the United
         States to Indians because of their status as Indians and is
         recognized as possessing powers of self-government.

1.2      As authorized by the Restoration Act, the Band intends to
         acquire the Gaming Site in the State of Michigan, to be held
         by the federal government in trust for the Band, on which the
         Band intends to construct and operate a permanent Class III
         gaming facility (the "Facility"); and the Band will possess
         sovereign governmental powers over the Gaming Site pursuant to
         the Band's recognized powers of self government, and the Band
         desires to use the Gaming Site to improve the economic
         conditions of its members.

1.3      Manager has paid $150,000, will on execution of this Agreement
         pay a further $100,000, and shall on Ratification pay a
         further $900,000, in each case as nonrefundable fees to the
         Band as part of the process which has led to the selection of
         Manager as the intended operator of the Facility.

1.4      Upon the transfer of the Gaming Site to the United States in trust
         for the Band, the Band will possess sovereign powers over the Gaming
         Site pursuant to the Band's recognized powers of self-government.

1.5      The Band desires to use the Gaming Site and the Facility to
         improve the economic conditions of its members, to enable it
         to serve the social, economic, educational and health needs of
         the Band, to increase the revenues of the Band and to enhance
         the Band's economic self sufficiency and self determination.

1.6      The Band wishes to establish an Enterprise, as hereinafter defined, to

         Facility, as defined herein, and to commence the operation of the
         Enterprise on the Gaming Site.

1.8      The Band is seeking technical experience and expertise for the
         operation of the Enterprise and instruction for members of the
         Band in the operation of the Enterprise. Manager is willing,
         and has represented to the Band that it is able, to provide
         such experience, expertise and instruction.

1.9      The Band desires to grant Manager the exclusive right and
         obligation to develop, manage, operate and maintain the
         Enterprise as described in this Agreement and to train Band
         members and others in the operation and maintenance of the
         Enterprise during the term of this Agreement. Manager wishes
         to perform these functions for the Band.

1.10     This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Indian Gaming

                  applicable if the Facility were located outside of the
                  jurisdiction of the Band although those requirements would not
                  otherwise apply within that jurisdiction. Nothing in this
                  Section shall grant any jurisdiction to the State or any
                  political subdivision thereof over the Gaming Site or the

                           operating standards which are consistent with the

                           aspects of the Facility security shall be the
                           responsibility of Manager. Any security officer shall
                           at the request of the Business Board be bonded and

                  acknowledge that no enabling Band legislation for the sale of
                  alcoholic beverages is now in force, and that such legislation
                  would be necessary in order to serve alcoholic beverages at
                  the Facility. If such legislation is subsequently enacted, and
                  if other requisite approvals are obtained, the Band and
                  Manager may mutually agree to include service of such
                  beverages within the Enterprise. Tobacco may be sold at the
                  Facility subject to and in accordance with the Band's

                           resolution of disputes between Manager and Enterprise

                           to consultation between, and agreement by, Manager,

                           adopt other laws and regulations that might preempt
                           otherwise applicable law.

                  payments from the Enterprise other than loan repayments
                  (whether under the Lakes Note, for other advances in

                  an Operating Expense. The budget for the GRA shall reflect the
                  reasonable cost of regulating the Enterprise. Disputes between
                  the parties relating to GRA costs shall be resolved pursuant
                  to the provisions of Article 13 of this Agreement. The

                  Requirements, to the extent applicable, on each applicant for
                  employment as soon as reasonably practicable. No individual
                  whose prior activities, criminal record, if any, or
                  reputation, habits and associations are known to pose a threat
                  to the public interest, the effective regulation of Gaming, or
                  to the gaming licenses of Manager, or to create or enhance the
                  dangers of unsuitable, unfair, or illegal practices and
                  methods and activities in the conduct of Gaming, shall

                  investigation procedures employed by the GRA shall be
                  formulated in consultation with Manager and shall satisfy all
                  regulatory requirements independently applicable to Manager.
                  Any cost associated with obtaining such background
                  investigations shall constitute an Operating Expense,
                  provided, however, the costs of background investigations
                  relating to Manager and the shareholders, officers, directors
                  or employees of Manager or its Affiliates shall be borne

                           to the Band for its approval, a training plan
                           designed so that, by the end of the Term of the
                           Agreement, all Enterprise Employees will be Band
                           members or others designated by the Band.

                  Manager shall also give preference to residents of the
                  community in which the Gaming Site is located. Final
                  determination of the qualifications of Band members and all
                  other persons for employment shall be made by Manager, subject
                  to any licensing requirements of the Gaming Regulatory
                  Authority. Not later than 90 days prior to the Commencement
                  Date, Manager shall develop and present to the Band for its
                  approval a training plan designed to meet the goals set out in
                  this section.

4.10              Pre-Opening. Nine months prior to the scheduled Commencement
                  Date, Manager shall commence implementation of a pre-opening
                  program which shall include all activities necessary to
                  financially and operationally prepare the Facility for
                  opening. To implement the pre-opening program, Manager shall
                  prepare a comprehensive pre-opening budget which shall be
                  submitted to the Business Board for its approval no later than
                  seven months prior to the scheduled Commencement Date
                  ("Pre-Opening Budget"). The Pre-Opening Budget shall identify
                  expenses which Manager anticipates to be necessary or
                  desirable in order to prepare the Facility for the
                  Commencement Date, including without limitation, cash for
                  disbursements,

                  Furnishings and Equipment and Operating Supplies, hiring,
                  training, relocation and temporary lodging of employees,
                  advertising and promotion, office overhead and office space
                  (whether on or off the Gaming Site), and travel and business
                  entertainment (including opening celebrations and ceremonies)
                  ("Pre-Opening Expenses"). The Band recognizes that the Pre-
                  Opening Budget has been prepared well in advance of
                  Commencement and is intended only to be a reasonable estimate,
                  subject to variation due to a number of factors, some of which
                  will be outside of Manager's control (e.g. the time of
                  completion, inflationary factors and varying conditions for
                  the goods and services required). The Band agrees that the
                  Pre-Opening Budget may be modified from time to time, subject
                  to approval of the Business Board in accordance with the
                  procedure established by ss. 4.11 of this Agreement for
                  adjustments to the Operating Budget and Annual Plan. If a
                  Temporary Facility is constructed, Manager shall prepare a
                  pre-opening budget in that regard which shall be submitted to
                  the Business Board for its approval no later than two months
                  prior to the scheduled opening of the Temporary Facility, or
                  at such other time as may be approved by the Business Board.

4.11              Operating Budget and Annual Plan. Manager shall, prior to the
                  scheduled Commencement Date, submit to the Business Board for
                  its approval a proposed Operating Budget and Annual Plan for
                  the Fiscal Year commencing on the Commencement Date.
                  Thereafter, Manager shall, not less than 30 days prior to the
                  commencement of each full or partial Fiscal Year, submit to
                  the Business Board for its approval a proposed Operating
                  Budget and Annual Plan for the ensuing full or partial Fiscal
                  Year, as the case may be. The Operating Budget and Annual Plan
                  shall include a projected income statement, balance sheet, and
                  projection of cash flow for the Enterprise, with detailed
                  justifications explaining the assumptions used therein. The
                  Operating Budget and Annual Plan shall include, without
                  limitation, a schedule of repairs and maintenance (other than
                  Capital Replacements), a business and marketing plan for the
                  Fiscal Year, and the Minimum Balance which must remain in the
                  Enterprise Accounts and the House Bank as of the end of each
                  month during the Fiscal Year to assure sufficient monies for
                  working capital purposes, and detail of other expenditures
                  proposed to be authorized under the Operating Budget and
                  Annual Plan.

                  The Operating Budget and Annual Plan for the Enterprise will
                  be comprised of the following:

4.11.1                     A statement of the estimated income and expenses for
                           the coming Fiscal Year, including estimates as to
                           Gross Revenues and Operating Expenses for such Fiscal
                           Year, such operating budget to reflect the estimated
                           results of the operation during each month of the
                           subject Fiscal Year;

4.11.2                     Either as part of the statement of the estimated
                           income and expenses referred to ss. 4.11.1, or
                           separately, budgets (and timetables and requirements
                           of Manager) for:

4.11.2.1                            repairs and maintenance;

4.11.2.2                            Capital Replacements;

4.11.2.3                            Furnishings and Equipment;

4.11.2.4                            advertising and business promotion programs
                                    for the Enterprise;

4.11.2.5                            the estimated cost of Promotional
                                    Allowances; and

4.11.2.6                            a business and marketing plan for the
                                    subject Fiscal Year.

4.11.3                     The Business Board's approval of the Operating Budget
                           and Annual Plan shall not be unreasonably withheld or
                           delayed. Manager shall meet with the Business Board
                           to discuss the proposed Operating Budget and Annual
                           Plan and the Business Board's approval shall be
                           deemed given unless a specific written objection
                           thereto is delivered by the Band Representatives to
                           Manager within thirty (30) days after Manager and the
                           Business Board have met to discuss the proposed
                           Operating Budget and Annual Plan. If the Band
                           Representatives for any reason decline to meet with
                           Manager to discuss a proposed Operating Budget and
                           Annual Plan after not less than twenty (20) days
                           written notice, the Band Representatives shall be
                           deemed to have consented unless a specific written
                           objection is delivered to Manager within thirty (30)
                           days after the date of the proposed meeting. The
                           Business Board shall review the Operating Budget and
                           Annual Plan on a line-by-line basis, if requested by
                           the Band Representative.

4.11.4                     If the initial proposed Operating Budget and Annual
                           Plan contains disputed budget item(s), the Band
                           Representatives on the Business Board and the Manager
                           agree to cooperate with each other in good faith to
                           resolve the disputed or objectionable proposed
                           item(s). In the event that the Band Representatives
                           on the Business Board and the Manager are not able to
                           reach mutual agreement concerning any disputed or
                           objectionable item(s) within a period of fifteen (15)
                           days after the date the Band Representatives on the
                           Business Board provide written notice of the Band's
                           objection to Manager, either party shall be entitled
                           to submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance
                           with Article 13. If the Band Representatives on the
                           Business Board and the Manager are unable to resolve
                           the disputed or objectionable item(s) prior to the
                           commencement of the applicable fiscal year, the
                           undisputed portions of the proposed Operating Budget
                           and Annual Plan shall be deemed to be adopted and
                           approved and the corresponding line item(s) contained
                           in the Operating Budget and Annual Plan for the
                           preceding fiscal year shall be adjusted as set forth
                           herein and shall be substituted in lieu of the
                           disputed item(s) in the proposed Operating Budget and
                           Annual Plan. Those line items which are in dispute
                           shall be determined by increasing the preceding
                           fiscal year's actual expense for the corresponding
                           line items by an amount determined by Manager which
                           does not exceed the Consumer Price Index for All
                           Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
                           Statistics of the United States Department of Labor,
                           U.S. City Average, all items (1997-98 = 100) for the
                           Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year with respect to
                           which the adjustment to the line item(s) is being
                           calculated or any successor or replacement index
                           thereto. The resulting Operating Budget and Annual
                           Plan obtained in accordance with the preceding
                           sentence shall be deemed to be the Operating Budget
                           and Annual Plan in effect until such time as Manager
                           and the Band Representatives on the Business Board
                           have resolved the items objected to by the Band
                           Representatives on the Business Board or an
                           arbitrator has rendered his award on the dispute.

4.11.5                     Adjustments to Operating Budget and Annual Plan and
                           Capital Budget. Manager may, after notice to and
                           approval by the Business Board, revise the Operating
                           Budget and Annual Plan and the Capital Budget from
                           time to time, as necessary, to reflect any
                           unpredicted significant changes, variables or events
                           or to include significant, additional, unanticipated
                           items of expense. Expenditures

                           shall not materially vary from the approved budgets
                           nor exceed the aggregate Operating Budget and Annual
                           Plan (as approved by the Business Board, and revised
                           with the reasonable approval of the Business Board)
                           absent the written consent of the Business Board;
                           provided that the Band recognizes that (a) the
                           absolute amounts of expenditures may exceed budgeted
                           amounts if the volume of business at the Facility
                           exceeds projections, (b) the relative amounts of
                           income and expense may vary from budgeted amounts if
                           the volume of business is less than projected, and
                           (c) Manager does not guarantee the economic
                           performance shown in budgets. Manager shall submit a
                           revision of the Operating Budget and Annual Plan to
                           the Business Board for review on a quarterly or other
                           appropriate basis.

4.12              Capital Budgets. Manager shall, not less than 30 days prior to
                  the commencement of each fiscal year, or partial fiscal year,
                  submit to the Business Board a recommended capital budget (the
                  "Capital Budget") describing the present value, estimated
                  useful life and estimated replacement costs for the ensuing
                  full or partial year, as the case may be, for the physical
                  plant, furnishings, equipment, and ordinary capital
                  replacement items, all of which are defined to be any items,
                  the cost of which is capitalized and depreciated, rather than
                  expended, using GAAP ("Capital Replacements") as shall be
                  required to operate the Enterprise in accordance with sound
                  business practices. Capital Replacements in the Capital Budget
                  in an aggregate sum equal to or less than the sum of the
                  Capital Replacement Reserve for the Fiscal Year shall be
                  approved by the Business Board; and any amounts in excess of
                  the Capital Replacement Reserve for the Fiscal Year shall be
                  subject to approval of the Pokagon Council in its sole
                  discretion. The Pokagon Council, Business Board, and Manager
                  shall meet to discuss the proposed Capital Budget and the
                  Business Board and Pokagon Council shall be required to make
                  specific written objections to a proposed Capital Budget in
                  the same manner and within the same time periods specified in
                  ss. 4.11.4 with respect to an Operating Budget and Annual
                  Plan. The Business Board and Pokagon Council shall not
                  unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. Unless the Pokagon
                  Council, Business Board, and Manager otherwise agree, Manager
                  shall be responsible for the design and installation of
                  Capital Replacements, subject to the Business Board's approval
                  and ratification by the Pokagon Council and right to inspect.

4.13              Capital Replacements. The Band shall effect and expend such
                  amounts for any Capital Replacements as shall be required, in
                  the course of the operation of the Enterprise, to maintain, at
                  a minimum, the Enterprise in compliance with any Legal
                  Requirements and to comply with Manager's recommended programs
                  for renovation, modernization and improvement intended to keep
                  the Enterprise competitive in its market; or to correct any
                  condition of an emergency nature, including without
                  limitation, maintenance, replacements or repairs which are
                  required to be effected by the Band, which in Manager's sole
                  discretion requires immediate action to preserve and protect
                  the Facility, assure its continued operation, and/or protect
                  the comfort, health, safety and/or welfare of the Facility's
                  guests or employees (an "Emergency Condition"); provided,
                  however, that the Band shall be under no obligation to fund
                  Capital Replacements in aggregate amount greater than its
                  periodic required contributions to the Capital Replacement
                  Reserve described in ss. 4.15. Manager is authorized to take
                  all steps and to make all expenditures from the Disbursement
                  Accounts described in ss. 4.19.3 (in the case of
                  non-capitalized repairs and maintenance), or Capital
                  Replacement Reserve described at ss. 4.15, (in the case of
                  expenditures for Capital Replacements) as it deems necessary
                  to repair and correct any Emergency Condition, regardless
                  whether such provisions have been made in the Capital Budget
                  or the Operating Budget and Annual Plan for any such
                  expenditures; or the cost thereof may be advanced by Manager
                  and reimbursed from future revenues. Design and installation
                  of Capital Replacements shall be effected in a time period and
                  subject to such conditions as the Business Board may establish

                  operations.

4.14              Capital Replacement Reserve. Manager shall establish a Capital
                  Replacement Reserve on the books of account of the Enterprise,
                  and the periodic contributions of cash required by ss. 4.15
                  shall be deposited by the Enterprise into an account (the
                  "Capital Replacement Reserve") established in the Band's name
                  at a bank designated by the Business Board in accordance with
                  ss. 4.19.1 of this Agreement. All amounts in the Capital
                  Replacement Reserve shall be invested in interest bearing
                  investments in accordance with the Enterprise Investment
                  Policy to the extent that availability of funds, when
                  required, is not thereby impaired. Interest earned on amounts
                  deposited in the Capital Replacement Reserve shall be credited
                  to the Capital Replacement Reserve and shall be available for
                  payment of expenditures for Capital Replacements to the
                  Facility. Manager shall draw on the Capital Replacement
                  Reserve for Capital Replacements to purchase those items
                  included in the Capital Budget approved by the

                                       26

                  Business Board or such emergency additions, repairs or
                  replacements as shall be required to correct an Emergency
                  Condition.

4.15              Periodic Contributions to Capital Replacement Reserve. In
                  accordance with ss. 5.5 of this Agreement, Manager shall make
                  monthly deposits into the Capital Replacement Reserve in
                  amounts equivalent to an annual rate of 1% (one percent) of
                  Gross Revenues during the first Fiscal Year after the
                  Commencement Date and equivalent to an annual rate of 3%
                  (three percent) of Gross Revenues during each Fiscal Year over
                  the remainder of the Term; such reserve shall be funded out of
                  Monthly Distribution Payments. The cash amounts required to be
                  so deposited shall be calculated and deposited into the
                  Capital Replacement Reserve, in arrears, no later than the
                  twenty-first (21st) day of the month immediately following the
                  month with respect to which a deposit is made. If any
                  adjustment of Gross Revenues is made as result of an audit or
                  for other accounting reasons, a corresponding adjustment in
                  the Capital Replacement Reserve deposit shall be made. In
                  addition, all proceeds from the sale of capital items no
                  longer needed for the operation of the Enterprise, and the
                  proceeds of any insurance received in reimbursement for any
                  items previously paid from the Capital Replacement Reserve,
                  shall be deposited into the Capital Replacement Reserve upon
                  receipt.

4.16              Use and Allocation of Capital Replacement Reserve. Any
                  expenditures for Capital Replacements which have been budgeted
                  and previously approved may be paid from the Capital
                  Replacement Reserve without further approval from the Business
                  Board. Any amounts remaining in the Capital Replacement
                  Reserve at the close of any year shall be carried forward and
                  retained in the Capital Replacement Reserve until fully used.
                  If the amounts in the Capital Replacement Reserve at the end
                  of any year plus the anticipated contributions to the Capital
                  Replacement Reserve for the next ensuing year are not
                  sufficient to pay for Capital Replacements authorized by the
                  Capital Budget for such ensuing year, then additional funds,
                  in the amount of the projected deficiency, may be advanced by
                  the Manager and reimbursed by the Enterprise from future
                  revenues.

                  strive for use of Native American contractors, sub-contractors
                  and vendors, provided their bids are reasonably competitive.
                  The Band and Manager shall agree on policies reasonably
                  governing (i) preferential purchases from vendors and
                  contractors owned by

                  or affiliated with members of the Band, which shall among
                  other things limit such preference to entities in which the
                  member is the real party in interest and require the price and
                  other terms offered by such vendors to be reasonably
                  competitive; and (ii) purchases of goods or services from the
                  Band, which shall be on terms that are reasonably competitive.
                  The Band reserves the right to require use of union labor on
                  some or all contracts, subject to review of budgetary impact.
                  Manager shall provide written notice to the Band in advance of

                  submitted to the Business Board and the Band Regulatory
                  Authority for approval in advance of implementation, which
                  approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Band shall
                  retain the right to review all Internal Control Systems and
                  any changes instituted to the Internal Control Systems of the
                  Enterprise. The Band shall have the right to retain an auditor
                  to review the adequacy of the Internal Control Systems prior
                  to the Commencement Date. The cost of such review shall be a

                  after the Commencement Date also shall be subject to review
                  and approval by the Gaming Regulatory Authority. The Gaming
                  Regulatory Authority and Manager shall have the right and duty
                  to maintain and police the Internal Control Systems in order
                  to prevent any loss of proceeds from the Enterprise. The

4.26     Litigation.  Except for disputes between the Band and Manager, and
         claims relating to the Band's status as a Tribe or the trust status of
         the Gaming Site, Manager shall bring and/or defend and/or settle any
         claim or legal action brought against Manager, the Enterprise or the
         Band, individually, jointly or severally, or any Enterprise Employee,
         in connection with the operation of the Enterprise if the basis of such
         claim or legal action was within the scope of Manager's authority under
         the Agreements; except that bringing litigation or arbitration relating
         to claims in excess of $100,000 must be approved by the Business Board
         and, as to claims in excess of $500,000, by the Pokagon Council (which
         consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and Manager shall furnish
         such information regarding claims, litigation and arbitration as the
         Band may request. Subject to the Band's approval of legal counsel,
         Manager shall retain and supervise legal counsel, accountants and such
         other professionals, consultants and specialists as Manager deems
         appropriate to assert or defend any such claim or cause of action. All
         liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
         and disbursements incurred in defending and/or settling any such claim
         or legal action which are not covered by insurance and which, as to
         Manager, relate to acts or omissions of Manager within the scope of its
         authority under the Agreements, shall be an Operating Expense, or, if
         incurred prior to the Commencement Date, shall be a Pre-Opening
         Expense. Nothing contained herein is a grant to Manager of the right to
         waive the Band's or the Enterprise's sovereign immunity. That right is
         strictly reserved to the Band, and shall at the option of the Pokagon
         Council be asserted by the Band through its counsel (whose fees and
         expenses relating to the Enterprise shall be an Operating Expense). Any
         settlement of a third party claim or cause of action shall require
         approval of the Business Board and, as to claims in excess of $100,000
         not covered by insurance, by the Pokagon Council (which consent shall
         not be unreasonably withheld).

5        MANAGEMENT FEE, DISBURSEMENTS, AND OTHER PAYMENTS BY
         MANAGER.

5.1          Management Fee.   Subject to the provisions of ss. 5.5, on or
             before the twenty-first (21st) day of each month after the
             month in which the Commencement Date occurs, Manager is
             authorized by the Band to pay itself from the Enterprise Bank
             Account(s) a fee as follows: 24% of the Net Revenues of the
             Enterprise in the period from the Commencement Date until the
             first day of the month next following the Commencement Date

                                       32

<PAGE>   42

             (which shall constitute the commencement of the next Fiscal
             Year), payable on or before the twenty-first day of that next
             month; then 24% of the Net Revenues of each succeeding month,
             payable monthly in arrears, until the Net Revenues in a Fiscal
             Year have totaled $80 million; and thereafter 19% of Net
             Revenues of each succeeding month, payable monthly in arrears,
             to the extent that aggregate Net Revenues in such Fiscal Year
             exceed $80 million. To the extent that aggregate Net Revenues
             reach $80 million during a month, the fee shall be prorated.

5.2          Fee Subordinated.  The Management Fee shall be subordinated to
             the Bank Loan, the Equipment Loan, any other third-party loans
             or equipment leases pertaining to the Enterprise, and the
             Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment. Manager agrees to execute
             and deliver a subordination agreement evidencing such
             subordination in form acceptable to the Bank Lender, the
             Equipment Lender, or any other third-party lender or equipment
             lessor.

5.3          Disbursements.  As and when received by the Enterprise, Gross
             Revenues shall be deposited in the Depository Account created
             pursuant to ss. 4.19.2 of this Agreement. There shall, in
             turn, be disbursed by Manager, on a monthly basis, for and on
             behalf of the Band, funds from the Enterprise Bank Account(s)
             to pay, to the extent available, Operating Expenses and
             required deposits into the Capital Replacement Reserve for
             Capital Replacements. Manager will reserve funds in the
             Enterprise in amounts equal to the Minimum Balance.  Additionally,
             Manager may advance any monies needed to cover any operating cash
             shortfall and shall be allowed to be reimbursed same in accordance
             with ss. 18.8.

5.4          Adjustment to Bank Account.  After the disbursements pursuant
             to ss. 5.3 and establishment of any additional reserves for
             future disbursements as Manager deems necessary and as are
             approved by the Business Board, taking into account
             anticipated cash flow and Operating Costs of the Enterprise,
             any excess funds remaining in the Enterprise Bank Account(s)
             over the Minimum Balance, the Capital Replacement Reserve, and
             such additional reserves as may be approved by the Business
             Board shall be disbursed monthly in accordance with ss. 5.5.

5.5          Payment of Fees and Band Disbursement.  Within twenty-one (21)
             days after the end of each calendar month of operations,
             Manager shall calculate Gross Revenues, Operating Expenses,
             and Net Revenues of the Enterprise for the previous month's
             operations and the Fiscal Year's operations to

                                       33

<PAGE>   43

             date. Such Net Revenues shall be disbursed from the Enterprise Bank
             Account(s) to the extent available in the following order of
             priority:

5.5.1               the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment described in ss. 5.6;

5.5.2               Current principal and any other payments due on all Loans
                    (and if payments are due quarterly, a reserve equal to one
                    third of the scheduled quarterly payment shall be deposited
                    in a designated Enterprise Bank Account for such payment,
                    and may be invested in accordance with the Enterprise
                    Investment Policies pending payment);

5.5.3               Capital Replacement Reserve contributions as described in
                    ss. 4.15; and

5.5.4               the Management Fee.

             All remaining Net Revenues (the "Monthly Distribution
             Payment") shall be distributed to the Band at the same time
             the Management Fee is paid.

5.6          Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment.  The Enterprise shall,
             subject to the provisions of ss. 5.6.1, pay the Band
             $1,000,000 per month (the "Minimum Guaranteed Monthly
             Payment"), beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing
             for the remainder of the Term. The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly
             Payment shall be payable to the Band in arrears on the twenty
             first (21st) day of each calendar month following the
             month in which the Commencement Date occurs, which payment
             shall have priority over the Management Fee. If the
             Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a
             calendar month, the first payment will be prorated from the
             Commencement Date to the end of the month.

5.6.1               Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments shall be charged
                    against the Band's distribution of Net Revenues for each
                    month; provided, however, that if the Net Revenues in a
                    given month are less than $1,000,000, Manager shall pay the
                    funds necessary to compensate for the deficiency from its
                    own funds; and provided further that Manager's obligation to
                    make such payment shall be reduced to the extent that the
                    Band has received or receives distributions from Net
                    Revenues during that Fiscal Year, on a cumulative basis,
                    exceeding the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments required
                    under this section. For example, if (a) the Fiscal Year
                    commences on October

                                       34

<PAGE>   44

                    1 and (b) the Band receives distributions in October,
                    November and December totaling $5 million, receives no
                    distributions in January, February and March, and receives
                    $1.5 million in April; then Manager would not be required to
                    make payments from its own funds in January and February;
                    would be required to pay the Band $1 million in March; and
                    would be permitted to recoup $500,000 of that payment out of
                    the payment that the Band would otherwise receive in April.
                    Manager shall not otherwise be entitled to reimbursement
                    from the Enterprise or the Band for payments it makes from
                    its own funds on account of Minimum Guaranteed Monthly
                    Payments.

5.6.2               The obligation to make Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments
                    shall cease upon termination of this Agreement, unless the
                    Agreement is terminated by the Band for a Material Breach by
                    the Manager.

5.6.3               The Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall be reduced
                    prospectively from $1,000,000 to $500,000 upon the opening,
                    if any, of a casino in Indiana owned by the Band, on the
                    same cumulative basis as provided in ss. 5.6.1.

5.6.4               Except as provided in this ss. 5.6 with regard to cumulation
                    of payments in any Fiscal Year or otherwise specifically
                    provided in this Agreement, Manager's obligation to pay the
                    Band the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payment is unconditional
                    and shall not be affected by the actual level of funds
                    generated by the Enterprise.

5.7          Payment of Net Revenues. The Net Revenues paid to the Band pursuant
             to this Article 5 shall be payable to the Band bank account
             specified by the Pokagon Council in a notice to Manager pursuant
             to ss. 18.2.

5.8          Harrah's Termination Agreement.  Manager shall pay out of its
             Management Fee all obligations of the Band to make payments under
             ss.ss. 1.4.1 and 1.4.3 (as it pertains to interest on payments due
             under ss. 1.4.1) of the Termination Agreement dated September 12,
             1998 between the Band and Harrah's Southwest Michigan Casino
             Corporation (the "Harrah's Termination Agreement"), and shall
             indemnify and hold the Band harmless against all loss, liability
             and expense relating to its liability under those sections of the
             Harrah's Termination Agreement. Such payments shall not constitute
             Operating Expenses of the Gaming Facility and shall not be
             reimbursed by the Band or the Enterprise.

                                       35

<PAGE>   45

5.9          The Band shall indemnify Manager against any decrease in Management
             Fee caused by an Indiana casino owned or operated by the Band,
             provided that (a) the alleged reduction in fees shall be measured
             against the Management Fees actually earned by Manager in the
             12-month period preceding the date on which the Manager notifies
             the Band of the claim for indemnification under this section,
             without giving effect to any subsequent actual or projected
             increase in such fees over that level; and (b) in any arbitration
             relating to such a claim, Manager must prove its claim by clear and
             convincing evidence.

6        ENTERPRISE NAME; MARKS

6.1          Enterprise Name.  The Enterprise shall be operated under a business
             name approved by the Business Board and reasonably acceptable to
             the Band (the "Enterprise Name").

6.2          Marks.  All Marks shall be approved by the Business Board and shall
             be subject to the reasonable approval of the Pokagon Council. Prior
             to the Commencement Date and from time to time during the Term
             hereof, Manager agrees to take such actions on behalf of the Band
             as are reasonably necessary to register and protect all Marks.

6.3          Signage.  Manager shall erect and install in accordance with local
             codes and regulations appropriate signs in, on or about the
             Facility, including, but not limited to, signs bearing Marks as
             part of the Enterprise Name. The costs of purchasing, leasing,
             transporting, constructing, maintaining and installing the required
             signs and systems, and of registering and protecting all Marks,
             shall be part of the Operating Expenses.

7        TAXES

7.1          State and Local Taxes.  If the State or any local government
             attempts to impose any tax including any possessory interest tax
             upon any party to this Agreement or upon the Enterprise, the
             Facility or the Gaming Site, the Pokagon Band may direct the
             Enterprise, in the name of the appropriate party or parties in
             interest, to resist such attempt through legal action. The costs of
             such action and the compensation of legal counsel shall be an
             Operating Expense of the Enterprise. Any such tax shall constitute
             an Operating Expense of the Enterprise. This section shall in no
             manner be

                                       36

<PAGE>   46

             construed to imply that any party to this Agreement or the
             Enterprise is liable for any such tax.

7.2          Band Taxes.  The Band agrees that neither it nor any agent, agency,
             affiliate or representative of the Band will impose any taxes,
             fees, assessments or other charges of any nature whatsoever on
             payments of any debt service on any Loan or on debt service on any
             other financing for the Facility or for the Enterprise, or on the
             revenues of the Enterprise or the Facility, or on the Management
             Fee as described in ss. 5.1 of this Agreement; but the Band
             reserves the right to otherwise impose usual and customary taxes
             and fees on transactions at or in connection with the Facility or
             on the Facilities's employees, officers, directors, vendors and
             patrons. Without limiting the foregoing, the Band shall be
             specifically permitted to impose (i) charges, assessments, fines or
             fees imposed by governmental entities of the Band which are
             reasonably related to the cost of Tribal governmental regulation of
             public health, safety or welfare, or the integrity of Tribal gaming
             operations, and (ii) other taxes, charges, assessments or fees
             imposed against the Enterprise or property of the Enterprise, or
             sales, use, excise, hotel occupancy and other similar taxes
             (excluding taxes, charges, assessments or fees against real or
             personal property of the Facility or on gaming revenues or
             earnings) of such types and percentage amounts not to exceed those
             imposed by any state or local government within the Restricted
             Territory.

7.3          Compliance with Internal Revenue Code.  Manager shall comply with
             all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

8        BUY-OUT OPTION

         The Band shall have the right, beginning two years after the
Commencement Date, to buy out the remaining term of this Agreement (the "Buyout
Option"), provided that such buyout includes repayment in full of all
outstanding debt owed by the Band to Manager, including without limitation the
Lakes Development Loan, the Transition Loan, the Non-Gaming Land Acquisition
Line of Credit, and either repayment of the Bank Development Loan and the
Equipment Loan (to the extent they are guaranteed by Manager) or release of
Manager's guarantees and other credit enhancements, if any, relating to those
Loans. The Buyout Option price shall be determined by multiplying the average
monthly Management Fee earned during the 12 month period prior to exercise of
the Buyout by the number of months remaining in the term of this Agreement, and
discounting future payments at a discount rate equal to the Band Interest Rate.
The Band shall not be required in connection with its exercise of the Buyout
Option to pay any termination fee or to make any payment related to the value of
gaming equipment, amenities, or any other asset of the Facility or the
Enterprise.

9        EXCLUSIVITY; NON-COMPETITION

9.1          Exclusivity in Michigan.  The Band shall deal exclusively with
             Manager for gaming development on Indian lands in Michigan from the
             date of execution of this Agreement through the earlier of five
             years from the Commencement Date or termination or buyout of the
             Agreements.

9.2          Indiana Casino.  Manager recognizes that the Band intends to
             develop a casino in Indiana, and that the Band shall have no
             obligations to Manager in that regard; except that the Band agrees
             that, if it decides to engage an outside manager to develop or
             operate an Indiana casino, it shall discuss contracting with
             Manager for such development or operation for 45 days before
             soliciting proposals from third parties as to management or
             development of that casino. No obligation to enter into an
             agreement with Manager shall be implied from this undertaking, and
             the Band shall retain full and absolute discretion in that regard.

9.3          Non-Competition.  Manager agrees that for five years after
             execution of the Agreements or the Term of the Agreements,
             whichever is greater, neither it nor any present or future Insider
             will directly or indirectly in the Restricted Territory develop,
             operate, consult with regard to, or be in any way affiliated with
             any non-Indian gaming facility, any Class II or III Gaming facility

             related to such gaming or facility; except that Insiders shall not

                    without the Band's prior written consent, except that
                    Manager may assign its rights under such Agreement, but not
                    its obligations, to a wholly owned subsidiary.

9.4.2               The Band may not assign its rights under this Agreement;
                    except that the Band may, without the consent of Manager,
                    but subject to approval by the Secretary of the Interior or
                    the Chairman of the NIGC or his authorized representative,
                    if required, assign this Agreement and the assets of the
                    Enterprise to a Corporate Commission or other

                    business of the Project and the Enterprise for the Band that

                    hereunder shall be effective until all necessary

                    Band of any obligation hereunder, unless otherwise agreed by
                    Manager or the holder of such obligation.

9.4.3               The Band shall be entitled to terminate the Agreements if
                    Manager undergoes a Change of Control without the prior
                    written consent of the Band. The Band shall not be required
                    to prepay any amounts advanced by Manager or any third party
                    in the event of such termination, and such obligations shall
                    remain payable in accordance with their payment terms.
                    Manager agrees to notify the Band in writing within 30 days
                    after the occurrence of any event described in Clauses I or
                    II in the definition of Change of Control, and within 30
                    days of Manager's knowledge of any event described in

                    "Change of Control," for purposes of this provision, means
                    (I) the merger, consolidation or other business combination
                    of Manager with, or acquisition of all or substantially all
                    of the assets of Manager by, any other entity; (II) Lyle
                    Berman's ceasing to be either Chief Executive Officer or
                    Chairman of the Board of Manager (other than on account of
                    death or disability, and except as provided at the end of
                    this definition); (III) the acquisition by any person or
                    affiliated group of persons not presently a shareholder of
                    Manager of beneficial ownership of 30% or more in interest
                    of the outstanding voting stock of Manager, as determined
                    under 17 CFR ss.ss. 240.13d-3 or 240.16a-1; or (IV) the
                    acquisition by any person or affiliated group of persons not
                    presently a shareholder of Manager of beneficial ownership
                    of 10% or more in interest of the outstanding voting stock
                    of Manager, as determined under 17 CFR ss.ss. 240.13d-3 or
                    240.16a-1, if a majority of the Board of Directors of
                    Manager is replaced within two years after such acquisition
                    by directors not nominated and approved by the Board of
                    Directors.

                    Notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, if
                    the non-competition provisions of ss. 9.3(a)(i)(B) are
                    breached, the following terms shall control:

                    (A)   Manager shall notify the Band within 30 days
                          of a breach of that subsection, and shall
                          describe in reasonable detail the nature and
                          circumstances of that breach.

                                              40

<PAGE>   50

                    (B)   The Band shall within 45 days of that
                          notification inform Manager if it will waive
                          that breach.

                    (C)   If the Band states that it will not waive
                          the breach, Manager may within 30 days of
                          the Band's notification inform the
                          Band whether Mr. Berman will resign as
                          officer and director of Manager, and who
                          Manager proposes as Mr. Berman's successor
                          as Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer
                          of Manager. Manager shall, in connection
                          with that notification, provide the Band
                          with a detailed description of the
                          qualifications and affiliations of the
                          proposed successor.

                    (D)   The Band shall then have 45 days to grant or
                          withhold its consent to that succession,
                          which consent shall not be unreasonably
                          withheld. If the Band so consents, Mr.
                          Berman resigns and the named successor
                          replaces Mr. Berman as Chairman and/or Chief
                          Executive Officer, the breach under ss.
                          9.3(a)(i)(B) shall be deemed waived.

                    (E)   If the Band does not so consent and its
                          denial of consent is not unreasonable, or if
                          Mr. Berman does not resign and the named
                          successor does not succeed him, Manager may
                          nominate another proposed successor within
                          30 days, failing which Manager shall be in
                          default (subject to arbitration under ss.
                          13).

                    (F)   If Manager does nominate another proposed
                          successor, subsections (C) and (D) shall
                          apply to the new nominee. If the Band does
                          not consent to the new nominee and its
                          denial of consent is not unreasonable, or if
                          Mr. Berman does not resign and the new
                          nominee does not succeed him, Manager shall
                          be in default (subject to arbitration under
                          ss. 13).

9.5            Restrictions on Collateral Development. Manager agrees that for
               five years after execution of the Agreements or the Term of the
               Agreements, whichever is greater, neither it nor any present or
               future Insider will directly or indirectly purchase any land or
               operate, manage, develop or have any direct or indirect interest
               in any commercial facilities or business venture located within
               20 miles of the Facility without the prior written consent of the
               Band.

10.4.1            Noninterference in Band Affairs.  Manager agrees not to
                  interfere in or attempt to wrongfully influence the internal

                  offering cash incentives, by making written or oral threats to
                  the personal or financial status of any person, or by any
                  other action, except for actions in the normal course of
                  business of Manager that relate to the Enterprise. For the
                  purposes of this ss. 10.4.1, if any such undue interference in
                  Band affairs is alleged by the Pokagon Council and the NIGC
                  finds that Manager has unduly interfered with the internal
                  affairs of the Band government and has not taken sufficient
                  action to cure and prevent such interference, that finding of
                  interference shall be grounds for termination of the
                  Agreement. Manager shall be entitled to immediate written
                  notice and a complete copy of any such complaint to the NIGC.

                  Member of the Band Government, any Band official, any Relative
                  of a Member of Band Government or Band official, any Band
                  Government employee, any agent of the Band, or any entity
                  known by Manager to be associated with any such person, for

                  advantage or consideration.

10.4.3            Prohibition of Hiring Members of Band Government.  No Member

                  Government may be employed at the Enterprise without a written
                  waiver of this ss.10.4.3 by the Band. For this purpose, the
                  Band will identify all such persons to Manager in a writing
                  and take reasonable steps to keep the list current; Manager
                  shall not be held responsible if any person not on such
                  written list is employed.

10.4.4            Prohibition of Financial Interest in Enterprise.  No Member
                  of the Band Government or Relative of a Member of the Band
                  Government shall have a direct or indirect financial interest
                  in the Enterprise greater than the interest of any other
                  member of the Band; provided, however, nothing in this
                  subsection shall restrict the ability of a Band member to
                  purchase or hold stock in Manager where (i) such stock is

                  execution and delivery by Manager of a certain Conditional
                  Release and Termination Agreement between Lakes and CRC dated
                  May 20, 1999, as amended by Amendment dated on or about July
                  7, 1999, true copies of which are attached as Exhibit F,
                  provided that CRC executes and delivers to the Band and its
                  members a general release in the form attached as Exhibit G.
                  Manager warrants that it has no agreements or understandings
                  with CRC in any way related to the Band or the Enterprise
                  other than as set forth in Exhibit F. The Band further agrees
                  that Manager may hold stock of CRC as collateral for Manager's
                  guarantee of a loan to a third party, provided that on default
                  it proceeds to liquidate such collateral in a reasonably
                  prompt and orderly manner, and that Lyle Berman may continue
                  to hold approximately 350,000 shares of CRC so long as he
                  plays no role in the management of, and does not sit on, the
                  board of directors of CRC.

10.5         No Liens.  Subject to the exceptions stated in ss. 10.6, the Band
             specifically warrants and represents to Manager that during the
             term of this Agreement the Band shall not act in any way
             whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, to cause any person or
             entity to become an encumbrancer or lienholder of the Gaming Site
             or the Facility. Manager specifically warrants and represents to
             the Band that during the term of this Agreement Manager shall not
             act in any way, directly or indirectly, to cause any person or
             entity to become an encumbrancer or lienholder of the Gaming Site
             or the Facility,

             or to obtain any interest in this Agreement without the prior
             written consent of the Band, and, where applicable, the United
             States. The Band and Manager shall keep the Facility and Gaming
             Site free and clear of all enforceable mechanics' and other
             enforceable liens resulting from the construction of the Facility
             and all other enforceable liens which may attach to the Facility or
             the Gaming Site, which shall at all times remain the property of
             the United States in trust for the Band.

             following liens and security interests pertaining to the Enterprise
             and the Facility:

10.6.1            The purchase money security interest in Furnishings and
                  Equipment granted to the Equipment Lender to secure the
                  Equipment Loan;

10.6.2            Security interests in Facility or Enterprise revenues,

                  be bound by and perform the terms hereof. On request, each
                  party shall furnish the other evidence of such authority.

10.8         Brokerage. Manager and the Band represent and warrant to each other
             that neither has sought the services of a broker, finder or agent
             in this transaction, and neither has employed, nor authorized, any
             other person to act in such capacity. Manager and the Band each
             hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and
             against any and all claims, loss, liability, damage or expenses
             (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the
             other party as a result of a claim brought by a person or entity
             engaged or claiming to be engaged as a finder, broker or agent by
             the indemnifying party; subject, as to Manager's relations with
             CRC, to the provisions of ss. 10.4.6.

11.2.6             NIGC Disapproval occurs.
11.2.7             Manager violates Legal Requirements in the management of the
                   Enterprise, including without limitation the Band Gaming
                   Ordinance, and such violation is not cured within (i) thirty

             provisions of this Agreement set forth at Article 13. The

                                       49

<PAGE>   59

             (ii) as specifically provided in the Agreements, subject to right
             to cure and arbitration as provided in this Agreement.

12.5         Band Right to Terminate for Material Adverse Change.  Prior to the
             Commencement Date, the Band shall be entitled to terminate the
             Agreements in the event of a Material Adverse Change; provided that
             the following procedures shall apply:

             i.    Manager shall notify the Band in the event of any Material
                   Adverse Change.

             ii.   Manager shall send to the Band copies of all filings by
                   Manager with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
                   Forms 8K, 10Q and 10K; shall furnish the Band with copies of
                   such other SEC filings that the Band may request; and shall
                   furnish the Band with such other information concerning a
                   Material Adverse Change as the Band may reasonably request.

             iii.  If the Band believes that a Material Adverse Change has
                   occurred, the Band shall so notify Manager in writing and
                   shall request specified further assurances of Manager's
                   continued ability to perform under the Agreements.

             iv.   Within thirty (30) days after that notification Manager shall
                   admit or deny the alleged Material Adverse Change, giving the
                   specific basis for its response; shall state whether it
                   agrees to provide the requested further assurances; if it
                   agrees to provide the requested further assurances, shall
                   tender its performance in that regard; and, if it admits a
                   Material Adverse Change but disputes the requested further
                   assurances, shall tender such further assurances as it deems
                   sufficient to ensure its continued ability to perform under
                   the Agreements.

             v.    If Manager denies the Material Adverse Change or disputes
                   that the requested further assurances are reasonably required
                   to assure the Band of Manager's continued ability to perform
                   under the Agreements, those issues shall be submitted to
                   arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine whether (A) a
                   Material Adverse Change has occurred; (B) the requested
                   further assurances are reasonably required to assure the Band
                   of Manager's continued ability to perform under the
                   Agreements; and (C) if a Material Adverse Change has occurred
                   but the requested further assurances are not

                                       50

<PAGE>   60

                   reasonably required to so assure the Band, what further
                   assurances must be provided by Manager to reasonably assure
                   the Band of Manager's continued ability to perform under the
                   Agreements. Any further assurances required under the
                   arbitrator's award must be furnished by Manager within thirty
                   (30) days after entry of the award.

             vi.   If Manager admits the Material Adverse Change but does not
                   furnish further assurances, or if Manager does not timely
                   provide further assurances pursuant to an arbitrator's award,
                   the Band may terminate the Agreements by written notice to
                   Manager.

             vii.  Manager and the Band agree that the continuing ability of
                   Manager to make the payments and advances provided under this
                   Agreement, and to ensure the Band can obtain the Loans to
                   develop, construct, equip and operate the Facility provided
                   in this Agreement, is an essential part of the consideration
                   for which the Band bargained in entering into the Agreements.

12.6     Termination if Manager License Withdrawn or on Conviction.  The Band
         may also terminate this Agreement immediately where Manager has had its
         gaming license withdrawn in any jurisdiction by final administrative
         action (the finality of which shall be determined without regard to
         pending or possible judicial review or appeal), or if Manager, or an
         Insider of Manager, has been convicted of a criminal (i) felony or (ii)
         misdemeanor offense involving gaming, fraud or moral turpitude;
         provided, however, the Band may not terminate this Agreement based on a
         director or officer's conviction where Manager terminates such
         individual within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the
         conviction.

12.7     Termination on Buy-Out.  This Agreement shall terminate if the Band
         exercises its option to buy out the Agreement in accordance with ss. 8.

12.8     Involuntary Termination Due to Changes in Legal Requirements.  It is
         the understanding and intention of the parties that the development,
         construction and operation of the Enterprise shall conform to and
         comply with all Legal Requirements. If during the term of this
         Agreement, the Enterprise or any material aspect of Gaming at the
         Gaming Site is determined by the Congress of the United States,
         Department of the Interior of the United States of America, the NIGC,
         or the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (after expiration
         of the time within which appeals must be filed or completion of
         appeals, if any) to be unlawful under federal law, the obligations of
         the parties hereto shall cease and the

                                       51

<PAGE>   61

         Agreements shall be of no further force and effect as of the date of
         such determination; subject, however, to the following provisions as to
         damages:

             i.    If the date of such determination is prior to the
                   Commencement Date, Manager shall be entitled to damages as
                   provided in ss. 14.4 of the Development Agreement with regard
                   to failure to obtain NIGC Approval.

             ii.   If the date of such determination is after the Commencement
                   Date:

                          (A)   The Band shall retain all fees and Monthly
                   Payments previously paid or advanced to it pursuant to the
                   Agreements, as well as all Tribal Distributions and
                   Non-Gaming Lands, the Gaming Site and any other property
                   transferred into trust;

                          (B)   Any money loaned to the Band by or guaranteed by
                   Manager, or owed to Manager as subrogee (to the extent
                   Manager has paid under such guarantees) shall be repaid to
                   Manager in accordance with the Limited Recourse terms of the
                   Lakes Note and the Development Agreement;

                          (C)   The Band shall retain its interest in the title
                   (and any lease) to all Enterprise assets, including the
                   Gaming Site and any fixtures, supplies and equipment, subject
                   to the purchase money security interest in equipment securing
                   the Equipment Loan and any other liens granted in accordance
                   with the Development Agreement; and

                          (D)   Any Net Revenues accruing through the date of
                   termination shall be distributed in accordance with Article 5
                   of this Agreement.

13       DISPUTE RESOLUTION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

13.1     Band's Waiver of Sovereign Immunity and Consent to Suit.  The Band
         expressly waives its sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of
         permitting or compelling arbitration as provided in this Article 13 and
         consents to be sued in the United States District Court for the
         District in which the Gaming Site is located (or, if the Gaming Site
         has not been designated, for the Western District of Michigan -
         Southern Division), the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth
         Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court for the purpose of
         compelling

                                       52
<PAGE>   62

         arbitration or enforcing any arbitration award or judgment arising out
         of this Agreement, the Transition Loan Note, the Lakes Note, the
         Non-Gaming Land Acquisition Line of Credit, the Development Agreement,
         any mortgages granted to Manager securing the Lakes Note or the
         Non-Gaming Land Acquisition Line of Credit, or other obligations
         between the parties. If the United States District Court lacks
         jurisdiction, the Band consents to be sued in the Michigan State Court
         system. The Band waives any requirement of exhaustion of tribal
         remedies. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing,
         the Band expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the
         right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or
         ordered by any such court, and to take such action, including without
         limitation, repossessing or foreclosing on any real property not in
         trust and or on equipment subject to a security interest, or otherwise
         giving effect to any judgment entered; provided, however, that
         liability of the Band under any judgment shall always be Limited
         Recourse, and in no instance shall any enforcement of any kind
         whatsoever be allowed against any assets of the Band other than the
         limited assets of the Band specified in ss. 13.3.1 below. The Band
         appoints the Chairman of the Pokagon Council and the Secretary of the
         Pokagon Council as its agents for service of all process under or
         relating to the Agreements. The Band agrees that service in hand or by
         certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be effective for all
         purposes under or relating to the Agreements if served on such agents.

13.2     Arbitration. All disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or
         relating to this Agreement or other obligations between Manager and the
         Band shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the
         Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in
         effect on the date demand for arbitration is made, and the Federal

         to claims and remedies against the Band:

13.5.1            Liquidated Damages Payable by Manager. In the event of a
                  Manager Event of Default prior to the Commencement Date, after
                  such notice and right to cure as may be provided in this
                  Agreement, Manager shall pay liquidated damages as provided in

                  for additional damages under this Agreement.

13.6              Manager Continuing Obligations. Nothing in this Article shall
                  affect or impair Manager's continuing obligations under ss.ss.
                  9.3 (non-competition) and 18.15 (confidentiality) of this
                  Agreement, all of which shall remain enforceable for the
                  following terms, notwithstanding the termination of the
                  Agreements and payment of liquidated or other damages: (i) as
                  to ss. 9.3, the greater of five years after execution of the
                  Agreements or one year after termination; and (ii) as to ss.
                  18.15, the greater of five years after execution of the
                  Agreements or two years after termination.

13.7              Termination of Exclusivity. Section 9.1 (Exclusivity in
                  Michigan) of this Agreement shall terminate upon any
                  termination of the Agreements, notwithstanding any breach of
                  the Agreements by the Band.

13.8              Remedies. In consideration of the agreement to liquidated
                  damages to the extent provided above, the Band and Manager
                  each waive the right to actual, consequential, exemplary or
                  punitive damages to the extent that liquidated damages are
                  applicable to a default, but shall retain the right to
                  injunctive relief (i) prior to termination of the Agreements,
                  to enforce rights and remedies thereunder, subject to the
                  Limited Recourse provisions of this Agreement as to the Band
                  and the Band's limited waiver of sovereign immunity; and (ii)
                  after termination, to the extent that provisions of this
                  Agreement specifically survive such termination, subject to
                  such Limited Recourse provisions and limited waiver. The
                  injured party shall, where liquidated damages are not
                  applicable and damages or remedies are not

                                       55

<PAGE>   65

                  otherwise specified, be entitled to such damages as it may be
                  entitled to under applicable law, subject to such Limited
                  Recourse provisions and limited waiver of the Band's sovereign
                  immunity (which shall apply to all claims against the Band
                  under or relating to the Agreements, in addition to all
                  Loans).

13.9              Band Injunctive Relief. Manager and Band acknowledge and agree
                  that termination of this Agreement and payment of damages may
                  not be a sufficient or appropriate remedy for breach by the
                  Manager, and further agree that the Band shall, upon breach of
                  this Agreement by the Manager, have the right to pursue such
                  remedies (in addition to termination) at law or equity as it
                  determines are best able to compensate it for such breach,
                  including specifically actions to require payment of the
                  Minimum Guaranteed Monthly payment and the Monthly
                  Distribution Payment. The Manager specifically acknowledges
                  and agrees that there will be irreparable harm to the Band and
                  that damages will be difficult to determine if a Manager Event
                  of Default occurs, and the Manager therefor further
                  acknowledges that an injunction and/or other equitable relief
                  will be an appropriate remedy for any such breach.

13.10             No Setoff Against Payments to Band. The Band's right to
                  payment of the Minimum Guaranteed Monthly Payments and the
                  Monthly Distribution Payments until termination shall be
                  absolute and not subject to setoff or recoupment.

13.11             Indemnification on Termination. In the event of termination,
                  (i) Manager shall indemnify and hold the Band harmless against
                  all loss, liability, damage and expense from or arising out of
                  any acts or omissions of Manager prior to termination in
                  violation of, or beyond the scope of its authority under, this
                  Agreement; and (ii) the Band shall indemnify and hold Manager
                  harmless against all loss, liability, damage and expense from
                  or arising out of any acts of Manager prior to termination
                  pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this
                  Agreement. This covenant shall survive any termination.

13.12             Fees not Damages. In no event shall fees or other
                  non-refundable payments made by Manager to Band, or Tribal
                  Distributions, constitute damages to Manager or be repayable
                  by the Band.

13.13             Undistributed Net Revenues. If on termination the Enterprise
                  has accrued Net Revenues which have not been distributed under
                  ss. 5 of this Agreement,

                                       56

<PAGE>   66

                  Manager shall receive that Management Fee equal to the
                  Management Fee it would have received for the period prior to
                  termination had the distribution occurred during the term of
                  the Management Agreement, subject to the Band's right of
                  setoff and recoupment.

15.4              Breach of Manager's Warranties and Agreements. The material
                  breach of any warranty or agreement of Manager contained in
                  this Article 15 shall be grounds for immediate termination of
                  this Agreement; provided that (a) if a breach of the
                  warranties contained in ss.ss. 15.2.2 or 15.2.3 is discovered,
                  and such breach was not disclosed by any background check
                  conducted by the FBI as part of the BIA or other federal
                  approval of this Agreement, or was discovered by the FBI
                  investigation but all officers and directors of Manager sign
                  sworn affidavits that they had no knowledge of such breach,
                  then Manager shall have thirty (30) days after notice from the
                  Band to terminate the interest of the offending person or
                  entity and if such termination takes place, this Agreement
                  shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) if a breach
                  relates to a failure to update changes in financial position
                  or additional gaming related activities, then Manager shall
                  have thirty (30) days after notice from the Band to cure such
                  default prior to termination.

16       NO PRESENT LIEN, LEASE OR JOINT VENTURE. The parties agree and
         expressly warrant that neither the Management Agreement nor any exhibit
         thereto is a mortgage or lease and, consequently, does not convey any
         present interest whatsoever in the Facility or the Gaming Site, nor any
         proprietary interest in the Enterprise itself. The parties further
         agree and acknowledge that it is not their intent, and that this
         Agreement shall not be construed, to create a joint venture between the
         Band and Manager; rather, Manager shall be deemed to be an independent
