RE: Century Resorts Alberta Inc. (the “Borrower”)
                        loan from Canadian Western Bank (the “Bank”)
                       commitment letter dated August 3, 2005 (the “Commitment Letter”)

We refer to the Commitment Letter and in particular the various conditions to funding of the credit facilities thereunder. As discussed with you, we need some comfort from the Bank as to which conditions remain outstanding and the status of those outstanding conditions. Our understanding is that only the following remain outstanding:

1.     Schedule A to the Commitment Letter- the execution, delivery and registration (where required) of the security listed in Schedule A is outstanding, except that:

    (a) the guarantee of 746306 Alberta Ltd. in item 6 is not required;

    (b) the assignment of the casino license is not required and in lieu a letter from AGLC confirming the non-assignability of the license has been obtained and    provided to the Bank’s counsel;

    (c) item 12 has already been obtained by the Bank;

    (d) item 13(i) has already been obtained by the Bank except that an updated real property report with municipal compliance will be required when the construction has
                          been completed;
 
                    (e) items (ii) and (iv) have been obtained by the Bank; and

    (f) item 13(vi) is not required.

2.     Schedule C item 5 is the preliminary budget which has been delivered to the Bank and is being reviewed by the Bank’s cost consultant.

3.     Schedule C item 6 final cost budget is to be provided.

4.     Schedule C item 7 - this is an ongoing requirement during construction and therefore not a pre-funding condition.

5.     Schedule C item 8 - this is outstanding, but it will be satisfied if:

    (a) The Borrower enters into the construction contract(s) with Chandos Construction Ltd. or another reputable general contractor in the Edmonton area;

    (b) The form of those construction contract(s) is the CCDC-2 stipulated price contract with such non-material amendments to that form as the parties agree; and

    (c) The scope of work in such contract(s) is not materially different from the scope of construction work that we have provided to the Bank.


6.     Schedule C item 10 - this is outstanding and will be satisfied prior to the first drawdown.

7.     Schedule C item 11 - the demolition permit and the parkade construction building permit  have been provided to the Bank and are acceptable, but the major hotel and casino  renovation building permit remains outstanding and we expect to provide it soon.


Please confirm that subject to finalizing the above outstanding items, the loan commitment in the Commitment Letter is binding on the Bank, by signing below where indicated and faxing this letter back to us at ###-###-####. Thanks for your attention to this and we look forward to completing the financing arrangements with you.

Yours truly,

CENTURY RESORTS ALBERTA INC.

SCHEDULE “F” - TERM LOANS/MORTGAGES

SCHEDULE - STANDARD LOAN TERMS

 
ARTICLE 1 - GENERAL

1.1.  
Interest Rate. You will pay interest on each Loan at nominal rates per year at the rate specified in this Agreement.

1.2.  
Floating rate of interest. Each floating rate of interest provided for under this Agreement will change automatically, without notice, whenever the Bank’s Prime Rate or the U.S. Base Rate, as the case may be, changes.

1.3.  
Payment of interest. Interest is calculated on the daily balance of the Loan at the end of each day. Interest is due once a month, unless the Agreement states otherwise. Unless you have made other arrangements with us, we will automatically debit your Operating Account for interest amounts owing. If your Operating Account is in overdraft and you do not deposit to the account an amount equal to the monthly interest payment, the effect is that we will be charging interest on overdue interest (which is known as compounding). Unpaid interest continues to compound whether or not we have demanded payment from you or started a legal action, or get judgment, against you.

1.4.  
Fees. You will pay the Bank’s fees for the Loans as outlined in the Agreement. You will also reimburse us for all reasonable fees (including legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in registering any security, and in enforcing our rights under this Agreement or any security. We will automatically debit your Operating Account for fee amounts owing.

1.5.  
Our rights re demand Loans. We believe that the banker-customer relationship is based on mutual trust and respect. It is important for us to know all the relevant information (whether good or bad) about your business. Canadian Western Bank is itself a business. Managing risks and monitoring our customers’ ability to repay is critical to us. We can only continue to lend when we feel that we are likely to be repaid. As a result, if you do something that jeopardizes that relationship, or if we no longer feel that you are likely to repay all amounts borrowed, we may have to act. We may decide to act, for example, because of something you have done, information we receive about your business, or changes to the economy that affect your business. Some of the actions that we may decide to take include requiring you to give us more financial information, negotiating a change in the interest rate or fees, or asking you to get further accounting assistance, put more cash into the business, provide more security, or produce a satisfactory business plan. It is important to us that your business succeeds. We may demand immediate repayment of any outstanding amounts under any demand Loan. We may also, at any time and for any cause, cancel the unused portion of any demand Loan.

1.6.  
Payments. If any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, then the payment is due on the next Business Day.

1.7.  
Applying money received. If you have not made payments as required by this Agreement, or if you have failed to satisfy any term of this Agreement (or any other agreement you have that relates to this Agreement), or at any time before default but after we have given you appropriate notice, we may decide how to apply any money that we receive. This means that we may choose which Loan to apply the money against, or what mix of principal, interest, fees and overdue amounts within any Loan will be paid.

1.8.  
Information requirements. We may from time to time reasonably require you to provide further information about your business. We may require information from you to be in a form acceptable to us.

1.9.  
Insurance. You will keep all our business assets and property insured (to the full insurable value) against loss or damage by fire and all other risks usual for property such as yours (plus for any other risks we may reasonably require). If we request, these policies will include a loss payee clause (and if you are giving us mortgage security, a Standard Mortgagee Clause). As further security, you assign all insurance proceeds to us. If we ask, you will give us either the policies themselves or adequate evidence of their existence. If your insurance coverage for any reason stops, we may (but do not have to) insure the property. We will automatically debit your Operating Account for this amount. In the event there are no funds on deposit, we may add the insurance cost to your Loan. Finally, you will notify us immediately of any loss or damage to the property.

1.10.  
Environmental Matters. You will carry on your business, and maintain your assets and property, in accordance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. If (a) there is any release, deposit, discharge or disposal of pollutants of any sort (collectively, a “Discharge”) in connection with either your business or your property, and we pay any fines or for any clean-up, or (b) we suffer any loss or damage as a result of any Discharge, you will reimburse the Bank, its directors, officers, employees and agents for any and all losses, damages, fines, costs and other amounts (including amounts spent preparing any necessary environmental assessment or other reports, or defending any lawsuits) that result. If we ask, you will defend any lawsuits, investigations or prosecutions brought against the Bank or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with any Discharge. Your obligation to us under this section continues even after all Loans have been repaid and this Agreement has terminated.

1.11.  
Consent to release information. We may from time to time give any loan or other information about you to, or receive such information from, (a) any financial institution, credit reporting agency, rating agency or credit bureau, (b) any person, firm or corporation with whom you may have or propose to have financial dealings, and (c) any person, firm or corporation in connection with any dealings you have or propose to have with us. You agree that we may use that information to establish and maintain your relationship with us and offer any services as permitted by law, including services and products offered by our subsidiaries when it is considered that this may be suitable to you.

1.12.  
Proof of debt. This Agreement provides the proof, between the Bank and you, of the loans made available to you. There may be times when the type of loan you have requires you to sign additional documents. Throughout the time that we provide you loans under this Agreement, our loan accounting records will provide complete proof of all terms and conditions of your loan (such as principal loan balances, interest calculations, and payment dates).

1.13.  
Renewals of this Agreement. This Agreement will remain in effect for your Loans for as long as they remain unchanged. If there are no changes to the Loans this Agreement will continue to apply, and you will not need to sign anything further. If there are any changes, we will provide you with either an amending agreement, or a new replacement Letter, for you to sign.

1.14.  
Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement are confidential between you and the Bank. You therefore agree not to disclose the contents of this Agreement to anyone except your professional advisors and where required by law.

 
1.15.  
Pre-conditions. You may use the Loans granted to you under this Agreement only if:

(a)  
we have received properly signed copies of all documentation that we may require in connection with the operation of your accounts and your ability to CRA and give security;
 
(b)  
all the required security has been received and registered to our satisfaction;
(c)  
any special provisions or conditions set forth in the Agreement have been complied with; and
(d)  
if applicable, you have given us the required number of days notice for a drawing under a Loan.

1.16.  
Notices. We may give you any notice in person or by telephone, or by letter that is sent either by fax or by mail.

1.17.  
Non-Revolving Loans. The following terms apply to each Non-Revolving Loan:

(a)  
Non-revolving Loans. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, any principal payment made permanently reduces the available Loan Amount. Any payment we receive is applied first to overdue interest, then to current interest owing, then to overdue principal, then to any fees and charges owing, and finally to current principal.

(b)  
Floating Rate Non-Revolving Loans. Floating Rate Loans may have either (i) blended payments or (ii) payments of fixed principal amounts, plus interest as described below:

(i)  
Blended payments. If you have a Floating Rate Loan that has blended payments, the amount of your monthly payment is fixed for the term of the loan, but the interest rate varies with changes in the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate (as the case may be). If the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate during any month is lower than what the rate was at the outset, you may end up paying off the loan before the scheduled end date. If, however, the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate is higher than what it was at the outset, the amount of principal that is paid off is reduced. As a result, you may end up still owing principal at the end of the term because of these changes in the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate. We will advise you from time to time of any changes in the blended payment necessary to maintain the original amortization period, should we chose to do so.
 
(ii)  
Payments of fixed principal plus interest. If you have a Floating Rate Loan that has regular principal payments, plus interest, the principal payment amount of your Loan is due on the payment date specified in the Agreement. Although the principal payment amount is fixed, your interest payment will usually be different each month, for at least one and possibly more reasons, namely: the reducing principal balance of your loan, the number of days in the month, and changes to the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate (as the case may be).

(c)  
Demand of Fixed Rate Term. If you have a Fixed Rate Term Loan and we make demand for payment, you will owe us (i) all outstanding principal, (ii) interest, (iii) any other amount due under this Agreement, and (iv) a prepayment charge. The prepayment charge is equal to the greater of three (3) months interest calculated on the unpaid balance at the rate authorized or the Bank’s Unwinding Costs.
