provided that:

(i) the proposed Note Purchase Date for such Notes shall be not less than one Business Day after the date on which such Note Purchase Proposal is delivered to the Issuer and shall fall within the Issuance Period;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes shall be $25,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof;

(b) Issuer Confirmations. If, after receiving a Note Purchase Proposal, the Issuer wishes to enter into a Note Purchase Agreement and issue the Notes in the amounts and having the terms set forth in such Note Purchase Proposal, then the Issuer must deliver to UBS a Note Purchase Confirmation by no later than the applicable Note Purchase Confirmation Deadline. If such Note Purchase Confirmation is not timely delivered to UBS, then no such Notes will be purchased by UBS (or its designee, as applicable) pursuant to such Note Purchase Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuer has placed an order with UBS for UBS (or its designee, as applicable) to purchase Notes under this Agreement and UBS has responded to such order within the time specified therein by providing a Note Purchase Proposal that corresponds to such order, then the Issuer shall be deemed to have consented to such Note Purchase and to have timely delivered its Note Purchase Confirmation in respect of such Note Purchase Proposal.

(c) Note Purchase. If, in response to any Note Purchase Proposal, the Issuer has timely delivered its Note Purchase Confirmation to UBS as provided above, then (1) prior to the proposed Note Purchase Date, UBS shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer the final form of Note Purchase Agreement to be entered into and the form of Note to be issued, and the Issuer shall execute and deliver such Note Purchase Agreement to UBS (whereupon UBS will execute and deliver (or cause its designee, selected as set forth in clause (2) below, to execute and deliver) the same), and (2) on the Note Purchase Date set forth in such Note Purchase Proposal, the Issuer shall execute, authenticate, issue and deliver, and UBS shall purchase (or cause an affiliate or GIFS Capital Company LLC or, with Issuer’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, another designee, to purchase), the Note described in such Note Purchase Proposal, in accordance with such Note Purchase Agreement, all on and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein (including the terms set forth in Section 3 below).

(d) Failure to Issue. If for any reason the Issuer fails to issue the Notes to be purchased by UBS (or its designee, as applicable) on the Note Purchase Date for such Notes as provided in Section 2(c) above, or any of the conditions specified in Section 3(b) below shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such Note Purchase Date, then such occurrence shall constitute an “Issuance Failure” for purposes hereof; provided, in no event shall an Issuance

The Issuer is not required to withhold any amounts in respect of Taxes from a payment to UBS (or, to the extent notified to the Issuer prior to the date this representation is made or deemed made, its designee, as applicable) of interest or principal on Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement under any Laws of the Tribe as in the effect on the date hereof.

(q) Private Offering by the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes, or any substantially similar security which is or would be integrated with the sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than UBS, which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Issuer nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act.

(r) Registration Requirements. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of UBS and each Purchaser (as defined therein) party to any applicable Note Purchase Agreement, and the compliance by UBS and each such Purchaser with their applicable agreements set forth herein and therein, the offer and sale of the Notes in the manner

–13–

contemplated by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof; and it is not necessary to qualify this Agreement, any Note Purchase Agreement or an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act.

(s) Hedging Transactions. The Issuer has not entered into any hedging transactions relating to any Relevant Instruments.

(t) Limited Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. The limited waiver of sovereign immunity by the Issuer in Section 7(i) below is legal, valid, binding and irrevocable.

(u) Notes Issuance. As of the date of the Issuer’s delivery (or deemed delivery) of each Note Purchase Confirmation, the Issuer has submitted such Note Purchase Confirmation in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act or any other anti-fraud or anti-manipulation Laws or to create actual or apparent trading activity in any Notes and/or credit default swaps referencing the Issuer as the reference entity (collectively with the Notes, the “Relevant Instruments”) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of any Relevant Instruments in violation of applicable Law.

The submission by the Issuer to UBS or its counsel of any Note Purchase Confirmation shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Issuer or, if applicable, the Tribe that each of the statements set forth above in this Section 4 is true and correct as of the date of such Note Purchase Confirmation.

5. Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer shall indemnify UBS and its Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or the use of proceeds by the Issuer from the issuance of any Notes, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other documents referred to herein (including without limitation any hedging arrangements entered into by such Indemnitee in connection therewith), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Issuer, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) result from a claim brought by the Issuer against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder, if the Issuer has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

–14–

(b) The Issuer shall indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including with respect to any violation or alleged violation of any state or federal securities laws) relating to any transaction in any credit default swap referencing the Issuer as reference entity purchased by UBS or any of its affiliates in respect of any Note Purchase Confirmation delivered by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or any Note purchased by UBS (or its designee, as applicable) under this Agreement to the extent such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is attributable to a failure of any of the certifications or representations made (or deemed made) by the Issuer or the Tribe to UBS from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or in any related notice, certificate or other instrument delivered by the Issuer to UBS pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects when made, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Issuer, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Issuer against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder, if the Issuer has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph (b) is unavailable to an Indemnitee or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses referred to herein, then the Issuer, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative faults of the Issuer on the one hand and UBS or its affiliates on the other, in relation to the transaction to which such loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense relates. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnitee at law or in equity.

6. Increased Cost; Reduced Return.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, deposit insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, UBS;

(ii) impose on UBS any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Notes purchased by UBS;

(iii) subject to any withholding Taxes any amount payable on the Notes purchased by UBS or otherwise payable to UBS hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, or subject UBS to any additional Taxes with respect to its deposits, reserves,

–15–

other liabilities or capital attributable to the Notes, other than, in each case, (A) any Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes, and branch profits or similar Taxes, in each case, (1) imposed as a result of UBS being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (2) that are Other Connection Taxes, (B) any U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA and (C) any Taxes attributable to the failure of UBS to comply with its obligations under clauses (x) or (y) of the proviso below;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to UBS of purchasing or maintaining any Notes (or of maintaining its obligation to purchase any Notes) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by UBS hereunder or under any other Facility Document, then the Issuer will pay to UBS such additional amount or amounts as will fully compensate UBS for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, including any Taxes, deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section; provided that (x) no additional amount shall be payable to the extent such additional amounts are paid as a result of a change in the tax residency of UBS or a change of the branch or lending office to which payments are made, and (y) (1) UBS shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as will enable the Issuer to determine whether or not UBS is subject to or is eligible for any reduction of or exemption from (and the applicable rate of) backup withholding or other withholding Taxes (including under FATCA) or information reporting requirements, and (2) in the event that UBS is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, such increased tax, cost or reduction, UBS shall deliver to the Issuer, at the time or times prescribed by Law or as reasonably requested by the Issuer (and in any event prior to the making of the first payment to UBS hereunder or any other Facility Document), such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without such increased tax, cost or reduction, unless such Law prevents UBS from legally being able to complete, execute or deliver such form, and UBS shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction or if any documentation previously delivered pursuant to this clause (2) becomes inaccurate and obsolete (and UBS shall promptly deliver to Issuer corrected and/or updated documentation).

If UBS determines, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the Issuer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of UBS and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Issuer, upon the request of UBS, shall repay to UBS the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that UBS is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will UBS be required to pay any amount to the Issuer pursuant to this paragraph if such payment would place UBS in a less favorable net after-Tax position than UBS would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require UBS to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Issuer or any other Person.

–16–

(b) Capital Requirements. If UBS determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on UBS’s capital or on the capital of UBS’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or the Notes purchased by UBS thereunder to a level below that which UBS or UBS’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration UBS’s policies and the policies of UBS’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Issuer will pay to UBS such additional amount or amounts as will fully compensate UBS or UBS’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from UBS. A certificate of UBS setting forth a reasonable calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate UBS or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Issuer and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Issuer shall pay UBS the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of UBS to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of UBS’s right to demand such compensation; provided that (A) the Issuer shall not be required to compensate UBS pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that UBS notifies the Issuer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of UBS’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and (B) if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect. All agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of UBS and the Issuer.

(b) Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only in a written agreement signed by each party hereto.

(c) Assignment. The Issuer may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person. UBS and its successors may at any time and from time to time assign its rights under this Agreement (i) to any of its affiliates or (ii) in the case of its rights under Section 6, to any permitted transferee of a Note, to the extent of such transfer. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 7(c) shall be void.

(d) Public Disclosure. The Issuer shall publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement and the amounts and terms of each series of Notes that it has issued hereunder and the related Note Purchase Agreement, in each case in a manner reasonably acceptable to UBS.

(e) Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in writing (unless telephonic notice is expressly

(f) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of New York. Issuer and each other party hereto each hereby consents to the application of New York civil law to the construction, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement, and to the application of New York civil law to the procedural aspects of any suit, action or proceeding relating thereto, including but not limited to legal process, execution of judgments and other legal remedies. This Agreement is a “Contract of the Tribal Gaming Authority” within the meaning of Section 1 of Article XIII (entitled “Tribal Gaming Authority Amendment”) of the Constitution.

(g) Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with or based upon this Agreement, including any action for the entry of judgment on and/or enforcement of an arbitration award or court order or judgment shall be in accordance with Subsection 7(i) hereof.

(h) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of UBS, the Tribe and the Issuer hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto, for itself, (1) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (2) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

(i) Dispute Resolution; Limited Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. (1) The Tribe does not consent to the enforcement, levy, or other execution of any judgment for money or other damages against any assets, real or personal, of the Tribe, except that the Tribe and the Issuer consent to the enforcement, levy and other execution of any judgment for money or other damages, whether obtained as a result of a judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding, against any assets, real or personal (other than any property held in trust or subject to a restriction on alienation by the United States and property of which the encumbrance or transfer is not permitted under any applicable federal or state law or regulation (the “Excluded Property”)), of the Issuer, but only to the extent set forth in the remainder of this paragraph. Subject to the foregoing, the Tribe and the Issuer expressly and irrevocably waive their respective sovereign immunity (and any defenses based thereon) from unconsented suit, whether such suit be brought in law or in equity, or in administrative proceedings or proceedings in arbitration, to permit the commencement, maintenance, and enforcement of any action, by UBS (or any of its successors or permitted assigns) to interpret or enforce the terms of this Agreement and to enforce and execute any judgment resulting therefrom against the Issuer or the assets of the Issuer (other than the Excluded Property). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tribe and the Issuer each waive its immunity from unconsented suit to permit the maintenance of the following actions in respect of this Agreement.

–19–

(i) Courts. The Tribe and the Issuer each waive its immunity from unconsented suit to permit any court of competent jurisdiction to (A) enforce and interpret the terms of this Agreement and award and enforce the award of damages against the Issuer owing as a consequence of a breach thereof, whether such award is the product of litigation, administrative proceedings or arbitration; (B) determine whether any consent or approval of the Tribe or the Issuer has been improperly granted or unreasonably withheld; (C) enforce any judgment prohibiting the Tribe or the Issuer from taking any action, or mandating or obligating the Tribe or the Issuer to take any action, including a judgment compelling the Tribe or the Issuer to submit to binding arbitration; and (D) adjudicate any claim under the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, 25 U.S.C. § 1302 (or any successor statute).

(ii) Arbitration. The Tribe and the Issuer each waive its immunity from unconsented suit to permit arbitrators, appointed and acting under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to (1) enforce and interpret the terms of this Agreement and to award and enforce the award of any damages against the Issuer owing as a consequence thereof; (2) determine whether any consent or approval of the Tribe or the Issuer has been improperly granted or unreasonably withheld; and (3) enforce any judgment prohibiting the Tribe or the Issuer from taking any action, or mandating or obligating the Tribe or the Issuer to take any action, including a judgment compelling the Tribe or the Issuer to submit to binding arbitration.

(2) Each of the Tribe and the Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and, as to the Issuer, its property, to the following courts, jurisdictions and venues (i) for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement: (A) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and all courts to which any appeal therefrom may be available; (B) or if those courts lack or decline jurisdiction over the action, then the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York, County of New York, and all courts to which any appeal therefrom may be available; (C) or if none of the foregoing courts shall have or accept jurisdiction, then the Mohegan Gaming Disputes Court; and (D) or if none of the foregoing courts shall have or accept jurisdiction, then to arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association or (ii) for recognition or enforcement of any judgment: (A) the courts identified in clause (i) above, (B) courts of the State of Connecticut, and any appellate court from which any appeals therefrom are available, as necessary to recognize or enforce such judgments as it applies to any assets of the Issuer, real or personal, located in the State of Connecticut. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(3) Each of the Tribe and the Issuer hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the jurisdiction of any court of the Tribe now or hereafter existing or created with respect to any claim, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Each of the Tribe and the Issuer unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, the application of any rule or doctrine relating to exhaustion of tribal remedies or comity or abstention that might otherwise require a claim be heard in a court of the Tribe. Each of the Tribe and the Issuer expressly and irrevocably agrees that it shall not institute any action in its own Tribal Court system in respect of any claim under this Agreement, but shall instead resort to the courts set forth, and in the order set forth in Subsection (2) hereof.

–20–

(4) Each of the Tribe and the Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Subsection (2) hereof. Each of the Tribe and the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(5) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Subsection (e) above. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(j) No Management Activities. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any Facility Documents, UBS shall not engage in any of the following: planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, controlling or managing all or any portion of the Tribe’s or Issuer’s gaming operations that are regulated by Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (collectively, “Management Activities”), including (but not limited to) with respect to the following:

(i) the training, supervision, direction, hiring, firing, retention, or compensation (including benefits) of any employee (whether or not a management employee) or contractor;

(ii) any employment policies or practices;

(iii) the hours or days of operation;

(iv) any accounting systems or procedures;

(v) any advertising, promotions or other marketing activities;

(vi) the purchase, lease, or substitution of any gaming device or related equipment or software, including player tracking equipment;

(vii) the vendor, type, theme, percentage of payout, display or placement of any gaming device or equipment; or

(viii) budgeting, allocating, or conditioning payments of the Issuer’s operating expenses;

provided, however, that UBS will not be in violation of the foregoing restriction solely because UBS enforces compliance with any term in this Agreement or any Facility Document that does not require the gaming operation to be subject to any third party decision-making as to any Management Activities.

(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

–21–

(l) Non-reliance. Each of UBS and the Issuer confirms to the other that it (i) possesses such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the other party, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of entering into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.

Each of UBS and the Issuer acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance on the other party, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement and the other Facility Documents based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance on the other party, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Facility Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate.; provided that notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (iii) above, UBS is relying on the representations and warranties in Section 4, and the Issuer acknowledges such reliance.

(m) Costs and Expenses. The Issuer shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by UBS and its affiliates (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, special New York counsel to UBS), in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by UBS (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for UBS) in connection with the enforcement or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including its rights under this Section.

(n) Reference Entity. Any transaction in credit default swaps referencing the Notes and the Issuer as reference entity entered into by UBS or any of its affiliates to hedge UBS’ or its affiliates’ exposure in respect of such Notes shall be made at UBS’s sole and absolute discretion and for UBS’s own account; including how, when, whether or at what price to effect such transactions, including the price paid or received under credit default swaps, and the Issuer does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over such matters.

(o) Interpretations. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Agreement:

(i) any reference to this Agreement or any other agreement or document shall be construed as a reference to this Agreement or such other agreement or document, as applicable, as the same may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, varied, novated or supplemented in accordance with its terms;

–22–

(ii) any reference to a statute or regulation shall be construed as a reference to such statute or regulation as the same may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, varied, novated or supplemented in accordance with its terms;

(iii) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, clause or other subdivision, and references to “Articles”, “Sections” and “Annexes” refer to Articles or Sections of, or Annexes to, this Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided;

(iv) the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

(v) any definition shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the defined term;

(vi) headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof;

(vii) whenever in this Agreement any Person is named or referred to, the successors and assigns of such Persons shall be deemed to be included; and

(viii) if the date any amount is required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement or the Fee Letter would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then such date shall be adjusted to the next following Business Day.

(p) For the avoidance of any doubt, it is acknowledged that this agreement is not intended to grant a lien or created an encumbrance on any real property owned by the Tribe or the Issuer. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any requirement or restriction imposed on the Issuer, the Tribe or their respective assets, and any right of UBS, a Purchaser or a successor or assign of either that is set forth in or arises out of this Agreement, and which “encumbers Indian land” within the meaning of 25 U.S.C. § 81, shall not be effective for longer than six years, 364 days.

The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A.

The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

SECTION 3. CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at a closing (the “Closing”) on [November 20], 20[15] or on such other Business Day thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Authority and the Purchasers.

available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Authority previously identified to the Purchaser in writing. If at the Closing the Authority shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions referred to in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of any of the conditions referred to in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction or such failure by the Authority to tender such Notes.

SECTION 4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject only to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the conditions separately agreed between such Purchaser and the Authority.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE AUTHORITY.

The Authority represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

Section 5.1 Existence, Qualification and Power. The Authority is an unincorporated governmental instrumentality of the Tribe. Each of the Authority and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is duly organized or formed, validly existing and a nontaxable entity for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation under the Code and the gaming and other revenues of each of the Authority and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries are exempt from U.S. federal income taxation. To the extent required by Law, each of the Authority and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified by reason of the location or the conduct of its business, except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Authority and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to conduct its respective business, to own and lease its respective Properties, to execute and deliver each Note Document to which it is a party and to perform its respective Obligations. The Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in material compliance with the terms of the Compact, the Tribal Gaming Ordinance, the Gaming Authority Ordinance and with all Laws and other legal requirements applicable to their existence and business (including, without limitation, IGRA and all Gaming Laws), have obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and have accomplished all filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Authority that are necessary for the transaction of their business, except, in each case, where the failure so to comply, to obtain such authority, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits, or to file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2 Authorization, No Contravention; Binding Effect.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Note Parties of the Note Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary Tribal Council, Management Board and other action, and do not: (i) require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any enrolled tribal member or Tribal Council member, Management Board member, security holder or

creditor; (ii) violate or conflict with any provision of the Constitution, charter, bylaws or other governing documents of the Tribe, the Authority or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Authority’s Property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired; (iv) violate any Law or Requirement of Law, including any Gaming Law, applicable to the Tribe, the Authority or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (v) [reserved]; (vi) result in a material breach of or default under, or would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, constitute a material breach of or default under, or cause or permit the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any mortgage, indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which the Tribe, the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Tribe, the Authority, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their Property is bound or affected; or (vii) require any consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, or any notice to, registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority, not heretofore obtained or obtained concurrently with the Closing. The Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not in violation of, or default under, any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, or any mortgage, indenture, loan or credit agreement described in clause (vi) of the preceding sentence, in any respect that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Note Documents to which the Note Parties are party have been executed and delivered by the Note Parties, as applicable. The Note Documents executed by the Note Parties constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Note Parties, as applicable, enforceable against the Note Parties, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The waivers of sovereign immunity by the Note Parties contained in the Note Documents are legal, valid, binding and irrevocable.

The Authority is not in possession of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Authority that would be required to be, but has not been, disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Authority, in connection with any purchase or sale of the Notes, in accordance with the Securities Act, Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

(b) The reports, financial statements, certificates and other written information furnished by the Authority or on its behalf to any Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement, taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Authority represents only that such in-formation was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

(e) To the knowledge of each Responsible Officer of the Authority, no Internal Control Event exists or has occurred since the date of the Audited Financial Statements that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a misstatement, in any material respect, in any financial information delivered or to be delivered to the Purchasers, of (i) covenant compliance calculations provided hereunder or (ii) the assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Section 5.6 Compliance with Laws. The Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable Gaming Laws.

Section 5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.

SECTION 9. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 9.1 Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof, together with any accrued unpaid interest on such principal amount.

Section 9.2 Optional Prepayments with Premium and Make-Whole Amount. The Authority may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than [ ]% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus an amount (not less than zero) equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Premium, if any, (ii) [Breakage Costs, if any,]¹ and (iii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, each determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount prepaid. The Authority will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 9.2 not fewer than ten days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Authority and the Required Holders (on behalf of all holders) agree to another time period pursuant to Section 19. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and such notice shall be irrevocable; provided, that any such notice may be conditioned on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction and may be rescinded or postponed on or prior to the proposed prepayment date if such refinancing or other transaction is not consummated or is delayed. In connection with such prepayment, each holder of Notes shall notify the Authority the amount of any Make-Whole Amount [or Breakage Costs] resulting from such prepayment. The Authority shall prepay on the specified date such specified principal amount of the Notes, together with any unpaid interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to such date and any other amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 9.2, and such amount shall be due and payable as of such date.

Section 9.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.8 or 9.9, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 9.10, the applicable holder’s Notes shall be prepaid in full without the requirement to prepay any other holder’s Notes.

Section 9.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each optional or required prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 9, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with any unpaid interest on such principal amount accrued to such date, and an amount (not less than zero) equal

¹	Breakage Cost provisions to be applicable only in an NPA for any Floating Rate Note.

to the sum of (i) the Applicable Premium, if any, (ii) [Breakage Costs, if any,] and (iii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, each determined as of such date for such principal amount and to the extent applicable. From and after such date, unless the Authority shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the foregoing sentence, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Authority and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 9.5 Purchase of Notes. The Authority will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Subsidiary and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. In determining whether the holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Authority, any Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether UBS and each Purchaser will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that UBS or such Purchaser knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 9.6 Make-Whole Amount; Applicable Premium[; Breakage Costs].

(a) Upon the occurrence of any acceleration of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.1 or any event in the course of a proceeding under Bankruptcy Law or other reorganization activities which results in any holder of a Note receiving any amount on account of the principal amount of its portion of such Note prior to the scheduled payment date therefor, the Authority shall owe any such affected holder an amount (not less than zero) equal to the sum of the Make-Whole Amount and the Applicable Premium with respect to such portion.

(b) [In the event of the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of the Notes other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, then, in any such event, the Authority shall compensate each holder of a Note for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any holder shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such holder’s Note had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Note) that would have been applicable to such holder’s Note, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period (as defined in the Note) therefor over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such holder would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. The amounts described to in this paragraph shall be referred to herein collectively as “Breakage Costs.” A certificate of any holder of a Note setting forth in reasonable detail any Breakage Costs that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be delivered to the Authority and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Authority shall pay such holder of a Note the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.]²

²	Applicable solely in the case of floating rate notes

Section 9.7 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or interest, Make-Whole Amount[, Breakage Costs,] or Applicable Premium on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 9.8 Prepayment in Connection with Asset Disposition. If the Authority makes an offer to prepay the Notes in accordance with Section 10.5(c), the Authority will give written notice thereof to the holders of all outstanding Notes, which notice shall (a) refer specifically to this Section 9.8 and describe in reasonable detail the Asset Sale giving rise to such offer to prepay the Notes, (b) specify the ratable portion of each Note being offered to be prepaid, (c) specify a prepayment date not less than 15 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Disposition Prepayment Date”) and (d) offer to prepay on the Disposition Prepayment Date such ratable portion of each Note at par, together with any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Disposition Prepayment Date, and an amount (not less than zero) equal to the sum of the [Breakage Costs, if any,] and the Make-Whole Amount, each determined as of the Disposition Prepayment Date for such principal amount (which offer is, for the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Offer specified in Section 10.5(c)). If the Disposition Prepayment Date is not specified in such notice, the Disposition Prepayment Date shall be the 45th day after the date of such notice. A holder of Notes may accept or reject such offer to prepay by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Authority at least two Business Days prior to the Disposition Prepayment Date specified by the Authority in such offer. If a holder of Notes has not responded to such offer by a date which is at least two Business Days prior to such specified Disposition Prepayment Date, such holder shall be deemed to have declined such offer of prepayment. The Authority shall prepay on the Disposition Prepayment Date such ratable portion of each Note held by the holders who have accepted such offer in accordance with this Section 9.8, together with any unpaid interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date and any other amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 9.8, and such amount shall be due and payable as of such Disposition Prepayment Date.

If the Change of Control Payment Date is not specified in such notice, the Change of Control Payment Date shall be the 45th day after the date of such notice. A holder of Notes may accept (in whole or in part, provided that acceptance in

part shall be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) or reject such offer to prepay by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Authority at least two Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified by the Authority in such offer. If a holder of Notes has not responded to such offer by a date which is at least two Business Days prior to such specified Change of Control Payment Date, such holder shall be deemed to have declined such offer of prepayment in full. The Authority shall prepay on the Change of Control Payment Date such portion of each Note held by the holders who have accepted such offer as has been so accepted in accordance with this Section 9.9, together with any unpaid interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Change of Control Payment Date, and any other amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 9.9, and such amount shall be due and payable as of such Change of Control Payment Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.9, the Authority shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 9.9 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Authority and such third party prepays all amounts of all Notes in respect of which such Change of Control Offer has been accepted and not withdrawn by the holders thereof.

Section 9.10 Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Law. If any Gaming Board requires that a holder of a Note must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws in order for the Authority to obtain or maintain any gaming license or franchise and such holder does not obtain such license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so by such Gaming Board (or such lesser period that may be required by such Gaming Board) or if such holder is not so licensed, qualified or found suitable, then at the Authority’s option, (a) such holder shall be obligated, at the request of the Authority to dispose of such holder’s Notes within 30 days of receipt of such finding by the applicable Gaming Board (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming Board), provided that such holder shall receive payment in connection with such disposition of any amount at least equal to the principal amount of the Notes disposed or (b) the Authority shall have the right to prepay the Notes of such holder at a prepayment price equal to the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof and (2) the price at which such holder acquired the Notes, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, [Breakage Costs, if any,] and the Make-Whole Amount, each determined on the date of such disposition for such principal amount. The Authority is not required to pay or reimburse any holder of a Note who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs of the licensure or investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability. Such expenses shall be the obligation of such holder of a Note.

Section 9.11 Prepayment in Connection with Credit Event or Succession Event Determinations. At any time when UBS AG, London Branch or any of its Affiliates or GIFS Capital Company LLC (any such person, a “Designated Holder”) is a holder of any Notes, if any Designated Holder notifies the Authority in writing of (i) any Credit Event Determination or (ii) any Succession Event Determination (which notice shall also provide a description as published by ISDA or otherwise in reasonable detail of such Credit Event Determination or Succession Event Determination) and requests in writing such prepayment in accordance with this Section 9.11,

which written request shall specify a prepayment date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date of effectiveness of such notice (the “Event Determination Prepayment Date”), the Authority shall be required to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of any Note held by such Designated Holder on the Event Determination Prepayment Date together with any unpaid interest accrued thereon, the Applicable Premium, if any, [Breakage Costs, if any,] and the Make-Whole Amount, each determined as of the Event Determination Prepayment Date for such principal amount, and in such case, such amount in respect of such Notes (and not any Notes held by any other holder) shall be due and payable as of such Event Determination Prepayment Date.

SECTION 10. COVENANTS.

Section 10.1 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Authority covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not, and shall not permit any other Note Party to, at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement and the other Note Documents; and the Authority (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives, on behalf of itself and each other Note Party, all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders of the Notes, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(xiv) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee with any Excess Proceeds remaining after all holders of the Notes have been given the opportunity to accept the Authority’s offer to prepay their Notes in accordance with this Agreement, if any such Subordinated Indebtedness is required to be repurchased pursuant to its respective term;

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (iii), (vi), (viii) (other than in respect of Indebtedness under a bond indenture or syndicated loan agreement), (ix), (xii) or (xiii), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

(c) Following the Closing, the Authority may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default; provided, that in no event shall any Key Project Assets or Gaming Licenses be transferred to an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, further that Gaming Licenses unrelated to the Resort or Pocono may be transferred to an Unrestricted Subsidiary, so long as at the time and after giving effect to such transfer (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and (ii) the Authority would, at the time of such transfer and after giving pro forma effect thereto, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 10.4(a) hereof. In the event of such designation, all outstanding Investments owned by the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 10.2(a) hereof unless the Investment constitutes a Permitted Investment (in which case, such Investment will reduce the amount available for Permitted Investments, as applicable); provided, that in the event that Salishan–Mohegan LLC shall become a Subsidiary and shall be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Note Purchase Agreement, any Investments in Salishan–Mohegan LLC outstanding as of the Closing and still outstanding as of the date of such designation shall be excluded from such calculation and shall not be deemed to be an Investment or Restricted Payment and shall not reduce the amount otherwise available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments. Except as set forth above with respect to Salish-an–Mohegan LLC, all such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Restricted Payments (or Permitted Investments, as the case may be) in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment (or Permitted Investments, as the case may be) would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Authority may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if such redesignation would not otherwise cause a Default.

(d) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than in the form of cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 10.2 shall be determined in good faith by the Management Board whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to each Purchaser and holder of a Note.

Section 10.3 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.3(b) hereof, the Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The provisions of Section 10.3(a) hereof will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Closing, including without limitation pursuant to Existing Indebtedness and the Bank Credit Facility (including any security documents relating to the Existing Indebtedness and the Bank Credit Facility) as in effect on the Closing and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, Replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, Replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such contractual encumbrance or restriction, as in effect on the Closing;

(ii) the Notes, this Agreement and the other Note Documents;

(iii) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(iv) any agreement or other instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(v) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses or other contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

(vi) purchase money obligations (including, without limitation, Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in Section 10.3(a)(iii) hereof;

(vii) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets that impose restrictions on the transfer of such assets and any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, that the applicable restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(ix) any provision of secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 10.4 and 10.9 hereof that limits the right of the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to the Liens securing such Indebtedness;

(x) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xii) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Authority or any Guarantor that is incurred subsequent to the Closing pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof containing applicable encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive than the encumbrances and restrictions in effect on the Closing pursuant to this Agreement and the Bank Credit Facility taken together; and

(xiii) documents or agreements evidencing, relating to or otherwise governing any Permitted Lease Financing to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions are applicable solely to the Income Assets with respect to such Permitted Lease Financing.

Section 10.4 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Authority will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Authority may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock if (i) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Authority’s most recently ended four full Fiscal Quarters for which internal consolidated financial statements are available would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as applicable, at the beginning of such four-quarter period and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such incurrence of Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority will not issue any Disqualified Stock or any type of Capital Stock that would violate IGRA.

(b) Section 10.4(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness:

(i) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (A) Indebtedness (including letters of credit) under Credit Facilities; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding under this clause (i) (including any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (B) below) as of the date of any incurrence pursuant to this clause (i), after giving effect to any such incurrence and the application of the net proceeds therefrom (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) shall not exceed the greater of (1) $1,200.0 million, minus (x) the amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (i) since the Closing that has been (a) retired with the Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale applied to permanently reduce the outstanding amounts of such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof or (b) assumed by a transferee in an Asset Sale and (y) the Lease Financing Amount, if any, outstanding at such time and (2) the maximum aggregate principal amount that could be incurred without causing the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of the Authority, at the time of incurrence, to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 (after giving effect to the application of the net proceeds therefrom and to any other pro forma adjustments consistent with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) and (B) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness to Replace any Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to this clause (i);

(ii) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

(iii) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including the Guarantees) issued on the Closing;

(iv) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of real property, furniture, fixtures, equipment or similar assets used or useful in the business of the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary not to exceed 100% of the lesser of cost and fair market value of the assets financed, together with any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, in an aggregate principal amount under this clause (iv) not to exceed $150.0 million at any time outstanding;

(v) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, renew, extend, defease or Replace, Indebtedness that was permitted by this Agreement to be incurred under Section 10.4(a) hereof or clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 10.4(b) or this clause (v);

(vi) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging and Swap Obligations that are incurred to manage interest rates or currency exchange rates or interest rate or currency exchange rate risk and not for speculative purposes;

(vii) the guarantee by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness of the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 10.4;

(viii) the incurrence by (1) a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness owed to another Restricted Subsidiary or to the Authority or (2) the Authority of Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that, in each case, if at any time any such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, any such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for the purposes of this Section 10.4;

(ix) the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $120.0 million;

(x) to the extent that such incurrence does not result in the incurrence by the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others, Indebtedness incurred solely as a result of the execution by the Authority or its Restricted Subsidiaries of a Completion Guarantee and Keep-Well Agreement;

(xi) any guarantee of Indebtedness of another Person to the extent constituting a Permitted Investment incurred pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof; and

(xii) (A) Capital Lease Obligations owing to Downs Lodging, LLC in respect of the hotel and convention center being constructed by Downs Lodging, LLC adjacent to the casino facility at Pocono, for so long as such entity is an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Authority and (B) Indebtedness of Downs Lodging, LLC deemed to be incurred upon its designation, if any, as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $55.0 million as of the date of such designation, provided, that in the case of this clause (B) such Indebtedness was incurred to finance (or to refinance Indebtedness incurred to finance) the hotel and convention center being constructed by Downs Lodging, LLC adjacent to the casino facility at Pocono and fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to clause (ix), (x) or (xi), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence of such incurrence.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.4 in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xvi) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.4(a) hereof, the Authority shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 10.4; provided, that if such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien, such Lien would be permitted to be incurred to secure such reclassified Indebtedness as of the date of reclassification in accordance with Section 10.9; provided, further, that Indebtedness outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility shall be deemed to be outstanding pursuant to clause (i) above. The payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 10.4.

Section 10.5 Asset Sales.

(a) The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (i) the Authority (or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Management Board, as evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to each Purchaser and holder of a Note) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of and (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; provided, however, that the Authority will not be permitted to make any Asset Sale of Key Project Assets. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (A) any liabilities that would appear on the Authority’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Authority or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 30 days of the receipt thereof.

(b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Authority may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option, to (i) (A) retire Indebtedness secured by the asset which was the subject of the Asset Sale, including Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility; provided, that in the case of a revolving loan agreement or similar arrangement, the commitment with respect thereto is permanently reduced by such amount, (B) repurchase, retire or repay the Notes or (C) retire, repay and permanently reduce other Indebtedness that is not Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, that the Notes are repurchased, retired or repaid on a pro rata basis; (ii) acquire the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, an entity engaged in the Principal Business or a Related Business; (iii) make capital expenditures or acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in the Principal Business or a Related Business; or (iv) make an investment in the Principal Business or a Related Business or in tangible long-term assets used or useful in the Principal Business or a Related Business. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Authority may temporarily reduce revolving credit

borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. At any time during such 360-day period, the Authority may elect to treat all or any portion of such Net Proceeds as “Excess Proceeds,” and make an Asset Sale Offer to the holders of any Notes as set forth in Sections 9.8 and 10.5(c) hereof.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraphs will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Authority will, within 15 Business Days, make an offer to prepay the Notes (the “Prepayment Offer”), together with any senior Indebtedness ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and containing similar provisions requiring the Authority to make an offer to repay or purchase such pari passu senior Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any), pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of such pari passu senior Indebtedness (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) and the Notes (the “Asset Sale Offer”), in accordance with Section 9.8. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Authority may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Section 10.6 Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction (other than incidental to any Permitted Lease Financing) involving the Resort or any Key Project Assets; provided, that the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into such a sale and leaseback transaction if: (i) the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction pursuant to Section 10.4(a) or 10.4(b)(ix) hereof and (b) incurred a Lien on the Property subject to such sale and leaseback to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof, and thereafter for the term of the applicable lease, the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have incurred Indebtedness in the amount of the Attributable Debt secured by a Lien on such Property; (ii) the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Management Board and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to each Purchaser and holder of a Note, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback transaction; and, in the case of any such transaction (or series of related transactions) involving the sale of assets with a value in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary of such sale and leaseback transaction from a financial point of view is issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing; (iii) the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Authority applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 10.5 hereof; and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such transaction; provided further, that no Resort Hotel Transaction shall be subject to provisions of this Section 10.6.

Section 10.7 Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests in Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries. The Authority (i) will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in

any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority to any Person (other than the Authority or another Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority), unless (a) (1) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition is of all the Equity Interests in such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (2) the Authority’s Investment in such formerly Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary remaining immediately after giving effect to such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition would be permitted under Section 10.2 hereof, and (b) the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof, and (ii) will not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ qualifying shares) to any Person other than to the Authority or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority unless upon such issuance, the Authority’s Investment in any such formerly Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted under Section 10.2 hereof.

Section 10.8 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Authority will not, and the Authority will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment or distribution to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, (i) any Affiliate of the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) any member of the Tribe or any business entity directly or indirectly controlled by any member or members of the Tribe (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Authority or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; (ii) other than with respect to transactions undertaken in the ordinary course of business, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from any such Affiliate Transaction; and (iii) the Authority delivers to each Purchaser and holder of a Note: (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Management Board set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 10.8 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Management Board; and (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction (or series of related Affiliate Transactions) from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 10.8(a) hereof:

(i) any employment agreement or arrangement entered into by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practice of the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) transactions between or among the Authority and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii) payment of reasonable Management Board fees to members of the Management Board;

(iv) transactions with Persons in whom the Authority owns any Equity Interests, so long as the remaining equity holders of such Person are not Affiliates of the Tribe, the Authority or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from entering into such transaction;

(v) Government Service Payments;

(vi) [reserved];

(vii) Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments that are made in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.2 hereof;

(viii) contractual arrangements existing on the Closing and any renewals, extensions and modifications thereof that are not materially adverse to the holders of any Notes;

(ix) the sale or other transfer of Income Assets in connection with a Permitted Lease Financing;

(x) reasonable and customary employment and bid preferences to members of the Tribe and businesses owned by members of the Tribe in accordance with Tribal law or policy (as such Tribal law or policy exists on the Closing, together with such amendments that would not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the holders of any Notes); and

(xi) provision by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of development or management services to a joint venture or an Unrestricted Subsidiary engaged in the Principal Business or a Related Business; provided, that the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is reimbursed by the joint venture or Unrestricted Subsidiary for all incremental out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation payroll) it incurs in providing such services.

Section 10.9 Liens. The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their respective property or assets, or any proceeds therefrom, now owned or hereafter acquired, which secures either: (a) Subordinated Indebtedness, unless the Notes are (and/or each applicable Guarantee is) secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds, which Lien is senior in priority to the Liens securing such Subordinated Indebtedness, or (b) other senior Indebtedness pari passu in right of payment with the Notes, unless the Notes are (and/or each applicable Guarantee is) equally and ratably secured with the Liens securing such pari passu Indebtedness.

Section 10.10 Existence of the Authority and Maintenance of the Lease.

(a) The Authority shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their respective existence, in accordance with their respective organizational documents and their respective rights (contractual, charter and statutory), licenses and franchises, except to the extent permitted under Section 11.1 hereof; provided, however, that neither the Authority nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to preserve, with respect to itself, any license, right or franchise and, with respect to its Restricted Subsidiaries, any such existence, license, right or franchise, if its Management Board or Board of Directors, or other governing body or officers authorized to make such determination, as the case may be, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the holders of the Notes.

(b) Subject to the provisions described in Section 24.8 hereof, the Authority shall do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to perform any material covenants set forth in the Lease in order to keep the Lease in full force and effect.

Section 10.11 Line of Business. The Authority shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than the Principal Business or a Related Business.

Section 10.12 Guarantees. As of the Closing, the Pocono Subsidiaries, the WNBA Subsidiary, Mohegan Ventures-Northwest, LLC, Mohegan Golf, LLC, Mohegan Ventures Wisconsin, LLC, Wisconsin Tribal Gaming, LLC and MTGA Gaming, LLC shall be Guarantors. If, after Closing, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority guarantees any other Indebtedness of the Authority or is obligated on other Indebtedness in excess of $50.0 million (as measured with respect to each such Restricted Subsidiary), then the Authority will, within 20 Business Days of the date on which it first satisfies the foregoing conditions, cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and execute a Guarantee Joinder and deliver certificates satisfying the requirements of the Note Guarantee for additional Guarantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Restricted Subsidiary is subject to the terms of any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, as in effect at the time of acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition) which instrument or restriction prohibits such Restricted Subsidiary from issuing a Guarantee, such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to execute such Guarantee documentation until it is permitted to issue such Guarantee pursuant to the terms of such Acquired Indebtedness.

Section 10.13 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Management Board may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of the Authority) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock of, or owns or holds any Lien on any property of, the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that either (A) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less or (B) if such Subsidiary has assets greater than $1,000, such designation would not be prohibited by Section 10.2 hereof:

(b) Any such designation by the Management Board shall be evidenced to the holders of the Notes by delivering to each holder a certified copy of a resolution of the Management Board giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing conditions and was permitted by Section 10.2 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 10.4, the Authority shall be in default of such Section).

(c) The Authority may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation, shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 10.4 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

(d) As of the date of Closing³, each of: Mohegan Lacrosse, LLC, Downs Lodging, LLC; Mohegan Gaming & Hospitality, LLC; Mohegan Resorts, LLC; Mohegan Resorts Mass, LLC; Mohegan Gaming Advisors, LLC; MGA Holding NJ, LLC; MGA Gaming NJ, LLC; MGA Gaming MA, LLC; MGA Holding MA, LLC; Inspire Integrated Resort Co., Ltd.; New England Black Wolves, LLC; and (2) MGNV, LLC, and each Subsidiary of each such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Section 10.14 Suspension of Covenants. Following the first date upon which the Authority’s Index Debt is rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P (or, in either case, if such person ceases to rate the Index Debt for reasons outside of the control of the Authority, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act) selected by the Authority as a replacement agency) (the “Rating Event Date”) and provided no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the Rating Event Date, the covenants specifically listed under Sections 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.8, 10.12, 10.18 and 10.19 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will no longer be applicable to the Notes; provided, however, that in the event that at any time after a Rating Event Date, any Index Debt shall be rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s or lower than BBB- by S&P, or any equivalent rating by a successor agency to Moody’s or S&P, the Suspended Covenants shall be automatically reinstated (the “Reinstated Covenants”) with respect to the Notes and all transactions by the Authority that occurred during the time that such covenants were suspended (the “Suspension Period”) and that would have violated such covenants had such covenants been in effect at the time shall be deemed not to constitute a Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to have been in compliance with such covenants for all purposes; provided further, that thereafter all transactions by the Authority occurring on or after the date on which the Suspended Covenants have been reinstated (such date, the “Reinstatement Date”) shall be required to be in compliance with the

³	Current as of 8/31/15; to be updated as of each applicable Closing;

Reinstated Covenants. For purposes of interpreting the definition of “Permitted Liens” during the time any Suspended Covenants are suspended, the definition should be read as if the Suspended Covenants were not so suspended. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.2 hereof will be made as though such covenant had been in effect from the Closing and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.2(a) hereof to the extent provided therein.

Section 10.15 Taxes. The Authority shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes and similar assessments and governmental levies required to be paid by it or such Subsidiary except (i) such taxes as are (or will be) contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been established and maintained in accordance with GAAP or (ii) where the failure to effect such payment would not be reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Authority, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(d) Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 14.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) an amount (not less than zero) equal to the sum of (i) [Breakage Costs,] (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, (iii) if applicable, the Applicable Premium, in each case determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Authority acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Authority (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of [Breakage Costs,] a Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium by the Authority in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 14.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 14.1, the holder or holders of not less than 25% in face amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or Note Guarantee, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

its consequences if (a) the Authority has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and [Breakage Costs,] Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and [Breakage Costs,] Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Authority nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than nonpayment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 19, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Note Guarantee or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Authority under Section 18, the Authority will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 14, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person(s) in whose name any Note(s) shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Authority shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the most recent date on which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, provided that such Purchaser or holder may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 22, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein or any counterparty to a derivative transaction in respect of such Note (in each case if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 22), (v) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vi) any rating agency then rating the debt of such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (vii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (x) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (y) in response to any subpoena or other legal process or litigation, or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Note Guarantee. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 22 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Authority in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Authority embodying this Section 22.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Authority or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 22, this Section 22 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Authority, this Section 22 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Authority of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 24. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 24.1 Successors and Assigns.

(3) Each of the Tribe and the Authority hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the jurisdiction of any court of the Tribe now or hereafter existing or created with respect to any claim, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the Notes. Each of the Tribe and the Authority unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, the application of any rule or doctrine relating to exhaustion of tribal remedies or comity or abstention that might otherwise require a claim be heard in a court of the Tribe. Each of the Tribe and the Authority expressly and irrevocably agrees that it shall not institute any action in its own Tribal Court system in respect of any claim under this Agreement or the Notes, but shall instead resort to the courts set forth, and in the order set forth in Subsection (2) hereof.

(4) Each of the Tribe and the Authority hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any court referred to in Subsection (2) hereof.

Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d) Nothing in this Section 24.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Authority in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e) Each Purchaser, the Tribe and the Authority hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (1) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (2) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 24.7(e).

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

[Floating Rate][[ ]%] Senior Note Due [__________, ____]


No. [ ]		[Date]
$[ ]		PPN[ ]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY (herein called the “Authority”), a governmental instrumentality of The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut, a federally recognized Indian Tribe and Native American sovereign nation (the “Tribe”), hereby promises to pay to [ ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [ ] DOLLARS (or so much thereof as shall not have been prepaid) on [_________, ____] (the “Maturity Date”), with (a) interest payable as and at the rate set forth below, and (b) Make-Whole Amount[, Breakage Costs]⁷ and Applicable Premium, as and to the extent required pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) in connection with any payment of principal hereof.

[If Notes will accrue interest at a fixed rate:]

[Interest on the unpaid balance hereof will accrue at the rate of [ ]% per annum (and to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue payment of interest or principal and on any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount[, Breakage Costs] or Applicable Premium, at a rate equal to the Default Rate) and will be payable quarterly in advance on the date hereof and on each other Interest Payment Date, in each case, for the period from and including such date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand. “Interest Payment Date” means the date hereof, each Quarterly Date and the Maturity Date. “Quarterly Date” means the [__]th day of each March, June, September and December in each year (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day).

Interest on this Note will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

If the Maturity Date is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, the Authority will pay interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due.]

[If Notes will accrue interest at a floating rate:]

⁷	Breakage Cost provisions only applicable to floating rate notes.

SCHEDULE 1

(to Note Purchase Agreement)

[Interest on the unpaid balance hereof will accrue at a per annum rate (the “LIBOR Rate”) equal to the sum of (x) Three-Month LIBOR (as defined and determined below) and (y) [ ]% (and to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue payment of interest or principal and on any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount[, Breakage Costs] or Applicable Premium, at a rate equal to the Default Rate) and will be payable quarterly in advance on the date hereof and on each other Interest Payment Date, in each case, for the Interest Period commencing on the date hereof or such other Interest Payment Date, as applicable; provided that interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand. “Interest Payment Date” means the date hereof, each Quarterly Date and the Maturity Date. “Quarterly Date” means the [__]th day of each March, June, September and December in each year (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). “Interest Period” means the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the first Quarterly Date thereafter (the “Initial Interest Period”), and each subsequent period commencing on such Quarterly Date and ending on the next succeeding Quarterly Date, provided that the final such Interest Period shall end on and include the Maturity Date of the Note. “Business Day” means each “Business Day” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) that is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The interest rate applicable to each day of each Interest Period commencing on the related Interest Payment Date, or the date hereof in the case of the Initial Interest Period, will be the Three-Month LIBOR determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period. The “Interest Determination Date” for each Interest Period will be the second London business day immediately preceding (i) the date hereof, in the case of the Initial Interest Period, or thereafter (ii) the applicable Interest Payment Date on which such Interest Period commences, in the case of each other Interest Period.

[UBS AG, London Branch], or its successor appointed by the Authority (with the consent (a) of the Required Holders and (b) if UBS AG, London Branch or any Affiliate thereof or GIFS Capital Company LLC is at such time a holder of any of the Notes, in the case of the first appointment of a successor calculation agent hereunder, of [UBS AG, London Branch]), will act as calculation agent. “Three-Month LIBOR” will be determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) With respect to an Interest Determination Date, Three-Month LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the Interest Payment Date that appears on the designated LIBOR page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, Three-Month LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined as follows: the calculation agent shall

request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of any holder of any Note or beneficial owner) in the London interbank market, as selected and identified by the Authority to provide the calculation agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the Interest Payment Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then Three-Month LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then Three-Month LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of any holder of any Note or beneficial owner) in The City of New York selected and identified by the Authority for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected and identified by the Authority are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, Three-Month LIBOR for such interest determination date will be Three-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.

(ii) However, if any Interest Period should be less than three months, then “Three-Month LIBOR” for such Interest Period shall be determined by interpolating linearly between (x) the rate appearing on the designated LIBOR page for a term closest to, but shorter than, such Interest Period and (y) the rate appearing on the designated LIBOR page for a term closest to, but longer than, such Interest Period.

(iii) The designated LIBOR page is the Reuters screen “LIBOR01,” or any successor service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. The Reuters screen “LIBOR01” is the display designated as the Reuters screen “LIBOR01,” or such other page as may replace the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”) or its successor or such other entity assuming the responsibility of IBA or its successor in calculating the London Interbank Offered Rate in the event IBA or its successor no longer does so.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Any percentage resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the notes less than 0.00% will be deemed to be 0.00% (or .0000).

Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Authority of the interest rate for the new Interest Period. Upon request of the holder of this Note, the calculation agent will provide to such holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Period.

All calculations made by the calculation agent for the purposes of calculating interest on this Note shall be conclusive and binding on the holder and the Authority, absent manifest errors.]

Upon any payment or prepayment of principal on this Note, any interest paid in advance on such principal amount and not accrued (constituting, for the avoidance of doubt, interest payable with respect to a period after the date of such payment or prepayment) shall be reimbursed to the Authority by setoff against the amount required to be paid by the Authority in respect of such principal and any [Breakage Costs,] Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium with respect thereto, and, to the extent not so offset at the time such payment or prepayment of principal is made, shall be payable to the Authority by the holder of this Note within 10 Business Days of written demand therefor (accompanied by calculation of such prepaid unaccrued interest in reasonable detail) by the Authority to such holder, provided that such written demand is delivered to such holder no later than 30 days after the date of such payment or prepayment of principal.

Payments of principal of, interest on and any [Breakage Costs,] Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium with respect to this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in New York, New York at [ ] or at such other place as the Authority shall have designated by written notice to the holder of this Note as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement referred to below.

This Note is one of a series of notes (herein called the “Notes”) issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of [ ], 20[__] (as from time to time amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), between the Authority and the respective Purchasers named therein and is entitled to the benefits thereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement shall control. Each holder of this Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have agreed to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 22 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement.

This Note is a registered Note and, subject to Section 15.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the registered holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, a new Note for a like principal amount will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Authority may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and the Authority will not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Note is subject to optional and mandatory prepayments, in whole or from time to time in part, at the times and on the terms specified in the Note Purchase Agreement.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of this Note may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price (including any applicable [Breakage Costs,] Make-Whole Amount and Applicable Premium) and with the effect provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the Authority and the holder of this Note shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

All provisions in the Section 24.7 Note Purchase Agreement related to limited waivers of sovereign immunity, consents to jurisdiction and arbitration, waivers of rights with respect to tribal courts and other matters related to the resolutions of disputes are hereby incorporated by reference herein mutatis mutandis, with the same force and effect as though all such provisions were set forth at length herein.
