Owner shall have no obligation for any other corporate overhead of either Operator. It is understood that statements herein indicating that the Operators shall “furnish”, “provide” or otherwise supply, present or contribute items or services hereunder shall not be interpreted or construed to mean that either Operator is liable or responsible to fund or pay for such items or services, except in those specific instances mentioned above.

(b) With respect to Owner’s Financial Obligations, the same shall be funded and/or paid for as follows: (i) first, from monies which may be available in the Bank Accounts maintained by the Operators hereunder; and (ii) second, if such Bank Accounts maintained by the Operators hereunder do not contain monies sufficient to fund and/or pay Owner’s Financial

Obligations, from monies which shall be deposited by Owner in such Bank Accounts within three (3) days after request therefor by the Operators in writing.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Operators shall have no obligation or duty to fund and/or pay for any of Owner’s Financial Obligations.

4.13. Financial Management. The Operators shall be responsible for the management of the day-to-day financial affairs of the Business.

4.14. Annual Plans.

4.14.01 Submission of Annual Plans. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of each Fiscal Year, the Operators shall submit to Owner for Owner’s approval, an annual plan for the operation of the Business for the forthcoming Fiscal Year (each such annual plan is referred to herein as an “Annual Plan”). Each proposed Annual Plan shall consist of the following:

Each proposed Annual Plan shall be prepared in such form and containing such detail as Owner may reasonably require.

4.14.02 Preparation of Annual Plan. Each proposed Annual Plan shall be prepared by the Operators based on, among other things, the actual and projected results of the current Fiscal Year, the standard of maintaining and operating the Facilities in accordance with this Agreement, information with respect to possible occurrences which may impact the marketing and/or operation of the Business in the future, changes from the previous Fiscal Year’s results, reasonable expectations for the future and such other information and assumptions that shall be reasonably requested under the circumstances.

4.14.03 Review and Approval. In connection with the preparation and submission of a proposed Annual Plan, Owner will meet with the Operators within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the proposed Annual Plan for an in-depth review, including a discussion of the marketing strategy, operations format and rationale for proposed expenditures embodied in the proposed Annual Plan. Owner shall be required, by giving written notice to the Operators, to approve or disapprove each proposed Annual Plan within fifteen (15) days after the date Owner and the Operators last meet to discuss the proposed Annual Plan. The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to complete the review of the proposed Annual Plan no later than forty-five

11

(45) days after the initial delivery of the proposed Annual Plan to Owner. Any notice that disapproves a proposed Annual Plan must contain reasonably detailed specific objections along with suggestions as to what corrective measures can be taken to make such proposed Annual Plan acceptable to Owner.

4.14.04 Disagreements Regarding Annual Plan. If Owner fails to provide written notice to the Operators of its objections within fifteen (15) days after the last meeting between Owner and the Operators, such proposed Annual Plan shall be deemed to be approved as submitted, subject to any changes upon which Owner and the Operators have previously agreed. If Owner disapproves or objects to any items contained in the proposed Annual Plan or any revisions thereto, Owner and the Operators shall cooperate with each other in good faith to attempt to expeditiously resolve the disputed or objectionable proposed items. If Owner and the Operators are unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement concerning the disputed or objectionable items within fifteen (15) days after the date Owner advises the Operators of its objections as aforesaid, either party shall be entitled to submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.18. If Owner’s objections relate only to certain portions of the proposed Annual Plan or a Budget contained therein, the undisputed portions of the proposed Annual Plan shall be deemed to be adopted and approved and only those Budgets under dispute shall be submitted to arbitration.

4.14.05 Disagreements Regarding Annual Operating Budgets. With respect to objectionable items in any Annual Operating Budget, but only until and to the extent that any dispute concerning such objectionable items are not resolved, the corresponding item contained in the Annual Operating Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year shall be substituted in lieu of the disputed portions of the proposed Annual Operating Budget, excluding, however, line items in the previous Annual Operating Budget for extraordinary expenses or revenues. In any instance where a portion of an Annual Operating Budget from a preceding Fiscal Year is deemed to be applicable to the Annual Operating Budget in effect until a new Annual Operating Budget is fully approved, corresponding items contained in the Annual Operating Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year shall be automatically adjusted by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index during the preceding Fiscal Year. Such calculation of percentage change in the Consumer Price Index shall be made by the Operators based upon the then most recently published Consumer Price Index data at the time the calculation is made.

4.14.06 Disagreements Regarding Annual Capital Expenditures Budgets. If Owner and the Operators are unable to agree on the amount of any item in an Annual Capital Expenditures Budget, only those capital expenditures with respect to which Owner and the Operators have reached an agreement (or the undisputed portion of an amount in dispute) that are approved by Owner or are required to be made by Lender or any Governmental Authority shall be made until Owner and the Operators otherwise agree on the terms of such Annual Capital Expenditures Budget or the matter is decided by arbitration; provided, however, that until and to the extent that any dispute concerning objectionable items are not resolved, the corresponding item contained in the Annual Capital Expenditures Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year shall be substituted in lieu of the disputed portions of the proposed Annual Capital Expenditures Budget, excluding, however, line items in the previous Annual Capital Expenditures Budget for extraordinary expenses or revenues. The applicable Annual Plan will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the effect of any delay in capital expenditures.

12

4.14.07 Operator Discretion Regarding Budgets. In the event that Operating Expenses in any fiscal year would in the aggregate exceed the Operating Expenses provided in the Annual Operating Budget for such fiscal year by more than 10%, the Operators shall revise the Annual Plan and submit to Owner for Owner’s approval as set forth in Section 4.15.

4.14.08 Operator’s Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Agreement, Owner recognizes that neither Operator is, or is intended to be, a guarantor of the Annual Operating Budget. Owner acknowledges that notwithstanding the Operators’ experience in the operation of gaming facilities, the projections contained in each Operating Budget submitted from time to time to Owner by the Operators are mere estimates and are subject to and may be affected by changes in financial, economic and other conditions and circumstances beyond the Operators’ reasonable control, and the giving of such projections or the making of such Annual Operating Budgets shall never be construed as a guarantee or warranty by the Operators to Owner that such projections or pro formas will, in fact, occur.

4.15. Revisions to Annual Plan. If, in the Operators’ sole judgment, revisions to all or any portion of the Annual Plan are appropriate, the Operators shall revise the Annual Plan and submit such revised Annual Plan to Owner for approval in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.14.

4.16. Remittance to Owner. Contemporaneously with furnishing the Financial Statements for each calendar month to Owner pursuant to Section 4.09, the Operators shall remit to Owner, subject to applicable Laws and the Related Contracts, from the Bank Accounts, an amount by which the total funds in the Bank Accounts exceed the sum of working capital and the current amount on deposit in the Capital Expenditures Fund.

4.17. Insurance. Owner, for the benefit of both Owner and the Operators, shall maintain adequate insurance during the term of this Agreement, including any insurance of the Operators which may be required. The Operators shall procure all insurance on behalf of Owner and the carrier, type and amount of coverage shall be designated by the Operators in their sole discretion.

4.18. Waiver of Liability. To the extent covered by insurance, each Operator and Owner each waives, releases and discharges the other from all claims or demands which each may have or acquire against the other, or against each other’s directors, officers, agents, employees or partners, with respect to any claim for any losses, damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on account of injury to persons or damage to property or business arising out of the ownership, management, operation and maintenance of the Business, regardless whether any such claim or demand may arise because of the fault or negligence of the other party or its officers, partners, agents or employees. Except to the extent a loss, damage or expense is a result of the other party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, in the event of any such loss, damage, liability or expense, Owner and each Operator each shall look to the insurance maintained with respect to the Business or otherwise by such party and shall not make any claim or seek any recovery against the other party. Each policy of insurance maintained with respect to the Business shall contain a specific waiver of subrogation reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.18, or a provision to the effect that the

13

existence of the preceding waiver shall not affect the validity of any such policy or the obligation of the insurer to pay the full amount of any covered loss sustained.

4.19. Legal Actions. Subject to Section 6.03, all matters of a legal nature involving the Business or the Facilities or any portion thereof shall be handled by legal counsel selected by the Operators and reasonably acceptable to Owner (such legal counsel which shall include but not be limited to Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, is hereinafter referred to as “Approved Legal Counsel”). The Operators shall notify Owner of the commencement of any legal action or proceeding concerning the Business or the Facilities or any portion thereof as soon as practicable after the Operators receive actual notice of the commencement of such legal action unless such action is for money damages only and such damages are reasonably anticipated to be either fully covered by insurance or not in excess of $500,000. Except with respect to those legal matters in which Owner advises the Operators that it desires to be directly involved, the Operators shall be responsible for directing on behalf of Owner the Approved Legal Counsel to take any reasonable or necessary legal actions to protect Owner’s assets and to ensure compliance with the contractual obligations of others and all Governmental Requirements. In any legal action or proceeding in which Owner is to be the plaintiff or complainant, then the Operators may not commence such legal action or proceeding without first obtaining the prior consent of Owner.

Promptly after the assertion of any Claim by a third party which may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an indemnitor under this Agreement, an Indemnified Person shall notify the indemnitor in writing of such Claim and advise the indemnitor whether the Indemnified Person intends to contest such Claim. Failure to notify an indemnitor shall not relieve such indemnitor from any ability hereunder to the extent indemnitor is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve indemnitor from any liability which indemnitor may have otherwise than on account of this Agreement.

6.03.02 Contest and Defend. The Indemnified Person shall permit the indemnitor to contest and defend against such Claim, at the indemnitor’s expense, if the indemnitor has confirmed to the Indemnified Person in writing that it agrees that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Claim, unless the conduct of its defense by the indemnitor could be reasonably likely to prejudice such Indemnified Person due to the nature of the Claims presented or by virtue of a conflict between the interests of such Indemnified Person and such indemnitor and another Indemnified Person whose defense has been assumed by the indemnitor. Notwithstanding a determination by the indemnitor to contest such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel and accountants at its own expense except as set forth above. In any case, the Indemnified Person shall make available to the indemnitor and its attorneys and accountants, at all reasonable times during normal business hours, all books, records, and other documents in its possession relating to such Claim. The party contesting any such Claim shall be furnished all reasonable assistance in connection therewith by the other party (with reimbursement of reasonable expenses by the indemnitor). If the indemnitor fails to undertake the defense of or to settle or pay any such third-party Claim within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Person has given written notice to the indemnitor advising the indemnitor of such Claim, or if the indemnitor, after having given notice to the Indemnified Person that it intends to undertake the defense, fails forthwith to defend, settle

16

or pay such Claim, then the Indemnified Person may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such Claim including, without limitation, the settlement or full payment thereof upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, subject to the following with respect to any proposed settlement thereof.

6.03.03 Compromise or Settlement. The indemnitor shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any third-party Claim defended by the indemnitor in accordance herewith (other than terms related solely to the payment of money damages and only after the indemnitor has furnished the Indemnified Person with such evidence as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request of the indemnitor’s ability (financial and otherwise) to pay promptly the amount of such money damages at such times as provided in the compromise or settlement and so long as any such settlement does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person.

6.03.04 Notice. Any claim for indemnification under this Agreement which does not result from the assertion of a Claim by a third party shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Person to the indemnitor. Such indemnitor shall have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond thereto. If such indemnitor does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such indemnitor shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment, and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim. If the indemnitor does respond within such 30-day period and rejects such Claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Person shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under applicable Law, including through arbitration as provided for in Section 10.18 hereof (it being understood that any such rejection shall not limit in any way such Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification under this Agreement).

6.04. Mitigation. Each indemnitor and Indemnified Person shall use reasonable efforts and shall consult and cooperate with each other with a view towards mitigating Claims that may give rise to claims for indemnification under Sections 6.01 and 6.02;

6.05. Payment. Each indemnitor agrees to pay amounts due hereunder (i) within ten (10) days of written notice in respect of its indemnity obligations which it has accepted pursuant to Section 6.03.02 or which it has been deemed to accept pursuant to Section 6.03.04, and (ii) within five (5) days of any final adjudication of any indemnity obligations as to which it has not so accepted.
