iii

THIS HEAD LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease” or “Lease Agreement”) dated February 28, 2007 and effective as of April 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), between the Seneca Nation of Indians (“Landlord” or the “Nation”), a sovereign Indian nation, having an office at 0000 Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx (Cattaraugus Territory) 14801 and an office with the address of X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx (Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx) 00000, and the Seneca Erie Gaming Corporation, a wholly-owned governmental instrumentality of the Nation (“Tenant” or “SEGC”), having an address at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx (Nation Territory) 14302-0777,

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, since April 1, 2006, the Nation has leased to SEGC, a wholly owned governmental instrumentality of the Nation, land on the Nation’s Buffalo Creek Territory, as more fully described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Premises”) for use as the site for the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino and for related purposes pursuant to an oral lease agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that SEGC has paid and the Nation has received all payments due to the Nation under said lease agreement for the lease of the Premises through the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Nation and SEGC, pursuant to this Lease, desire to memorialize in writing the terms and conditions pursuant to which SEGC leases the Premises.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the matters above recited, for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto formally covenant, agree and bind themselves as follows:

ARTICLE 1.
PREMISES AND TERM

Section 1.01 Premises. Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire and take from Landlord the Premises, subject to all title matters affecting the Land and existing as of the date of this Lease Agreement.

Section 1.02 Term. The Lease term (the “Term”) shall commence as of the Effective Date of this Lease and shall expire on the earlier of either (i) the twenty-first (21st) anniversary of gaming activities under the Compact for Class III gaming between the Nation and the State of New York, or (ii) such other date as may be herein provided.

ARTICLE 2.
RENT

Section 2.01 Rent Payments.

(a) Rent. Commencing as of October 1, 2006, Tenant shall pay directly to the Landlord, or Landlord’s representative if Tenant is so notified, annual rent (“Annual Rent”) in the amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) in equal monthly installments of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00) in advance on the first day of

each calendar month.. On October 1 of each year, the Annual Rent shall automatically increase to 103% of the prior year’s Annual Rent, provided that no increase in Annual Rent hereunder may contravene, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture, instrument or other commitment legally binding upon Landlord and/or Tenant, or to which the Premises are subject (“Commitments”). Any proposed increase to an amount in excess of 103% of the prior year’s Annual Rent shall be jointly reviewed by Landlord and Tenant for consistency with then-applicable Commitments, with any such increase to be confirmed by the parties in writing prior to its effectiveness. The delay or failure of either party in computing the Annual Rent increase or executing a written statement of confirmation of such Annual Rent increase will not impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay Annual Rent. All amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease Agreement, including, without limiting the foregoing, Annual Rent, and any other sums, costs, expenses or deposits that Tenant in any of the provisions of this Lease Agreement assumes or agrees to pay and/or deposit, shall constitute “Rent” under this Lease.

(b) Interest and Penalties. If any payment of Rent shall remain unpaid for more than thirty (30) days beyond the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of any Rental not paid when due and interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) (the “Default Rate”), such interest to accrue from the due date of such payment to the date of actual payment thereof. Such late charge and interest shall constitute Rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by Tenant on demand. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of its obligations to pay late charges shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its rights to enforce the provisions of this Article 2 in any instance thereafter occurring. This provision shall not be construed in any way to extend the grace period or notice period provided for in this Lease. As used herein “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate reported by The Wall Street Journal (or its successors) as the so-called “prime rate”.

Section 2.02 Rent Net to Landlord. Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord without any abatement, deduction, counterclaim, set off or offset whatsoever, so that this Lease shall yield, net to Landlord, the Rent due under the Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses and charges of every kind and nature relating to the Premises, which may arise or become due or payable during or after (but attributable to a period falling within) the Term.

ARTICLE 3.

(i) Insurance on the Premises, including all improvements located therein and thereon, shall be carried under an “All Risk” form, including damage by water and subsidence, except for flood and earthquake. Such insurance shall be carried in an amount equal to full replacement value, subject to insurance market conditions, of the improvements.

(ii) Commercial general liability insurance shall be carried on the Premises and operations of the Premises against any liability for bodily injury, death, and property damage. Such commercial general liability insurance shall be on an occurrence basis. The insurance against liability for bodily injury and/or death shall be not less than Five Million and 00/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars for each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with an annual general aggregate of not less than Ten Million and 00/100 ($10,000,000.00) Dollars.

(iii) Motor vehicle liability and property damage insurance coverage on all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles shall be provided in the amounts of Five Million and 00/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage.

(v) Workers’ compensation insurance, if applicable by law or agreement, shall be carried on all persons employed by Tenant or on its behalf, on or at the Premises, or in the operations of Tenant in minimum amounts so provided by law or agreement.

(b) All insurance provided by or on behalf of Tenant shall be carried in favor of Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, as “additional insureds”. Any coverage provided by Tenant, or on its behalf, as required herein also shall name each Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) as an additional insured under a standard Mortgagee Clause (as hereinafter defined).

Section 4.02 Policy Requirements.

(a) All insurance required by any provision of this Lease shall be in such form and shall be issued by such responsible companies licensed and authorized to do business in the State of New York as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and any Mortgagee. All policies referred to in this Lease shall be procured, or caused to be procured, by Tenant at no expense to Landlord and for periods of not less than one (1) year. New or renewal policies replacing any policies expiring during the Term or memoranda or certificates thereof, as aforesaid, shall be delivered to Landlord on the execution of this Lease and at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration, together with proof satisfactory to Landlord that the full premiums have been paid. Premiums on policies shall not be financed in any manner whereby each Mortgagee, on default or otherwise, shall have the right or privilege of surrendering or canceling the policies, provided, however, that premiums may be paid in installments.

(b) Tenant and Landlord shall cooperate in connection with the collection of any insurance moneys that may be due in the event of loss and Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver such proofs of loss and other instruments which may be required for the purpose of obtaining the recovery of any such insurance moneys.

(c) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance (other than personal injury liability insurance) concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Lease to be furnished by Tenant, unless Landlord and each Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) are included therein as insureds with loss payable as provided in this Lease.

(d) Each policy of insurance required to be obtained by Tenant as herein provided and each duplicate policy issued by the insurer shall contain (i) a provision that no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount or any loss sustained, (ii) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be cancelled or materially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and to each Mortgagee and (iii) an agreement by the insurer pursuant to which the insurer waives subrogation (with the exception of workers’ compensation) and having obtained such clause or endorsement of waiver of subrogation, Tenant agrees that it will not make any claims against, or seek to recover from, Landlord for any loss or damage to Tenant’s property covered by its fire and extended coverage insurance, provided, however, the subject release shall be limited by the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation clause and shall be co-extensive therewith.

Section 4.03 Blanket Policies. The insurance required by this Lease may, at the option of Tenant, be effected by blanket or umbrella policies issued to Tenant covering the Premises and other properties owned or leased by such Tenant, provided that the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Lease and allocate to the Premises and all improvements thereon and therein the specified coverage, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other premises named therein, and if the insurance required by this Lease shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Tenant shall furnish to

Landlord certificates of insurance for such policies, with schedules thereto attached showing the amount of insurance afforded by such policies applicable to the Premises in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord.

ARTICLE 5.
USE OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS

(a) If the Premises or improvements thereon or therein shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or other casualty of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen (each, a “Casualty”), Tenant shall give to Landlord prompt notice thereof. Tenant may, at its election, repair, alter, restore, replace and rebuild the same, or the functional equivalent of the same as was existing immediately prior to such occurrence, subject to such changes or alterations as Tenant may elect. Landlord, in no event, shall be called upon to restore any portion of the Premises or improvements, now or hereafter existing or any portion thereof or to pay any of the costs or expenses thereof. If Tenant shall elect not to restore the Premises or improvements, Tenant shall promptly give notice to Landlord of its election not to restore.

(b) All insurance proceeds payable as a result of a Casualty will be paid directly to Tenant.

ARTICLE 6.
CONDEMNATION

Section 6.01 Total Condemnation.

(a) If at any time during the Term, the whole or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement among Landlord, Tenant and those authorized to exercise such right, this Lease and the Term, shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking and the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be paid to the date of such taking.

(b) The term “substantially all of the Premises” shall be deemed to mean such portion of the Premises as, when so taken, would leave remaining a balance of the Premises which, due either to the area so taken or the location of the part so taken in relation to the part not so taken, would not under economic conditions, zoning laws or building regulations then existing or prevailing, readily accommodate, in Tenant’s judgment, a new building or buildings of a nature similar to the improvements existing at the date of such taking and after performance of all covenants, agreements, terms and provisions herein and by law provided to be performed and paid by Tenant.

Section 6.02 Award to Landlord.

(a) If the whole or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or condemned as provided in this Article 6, the award for or attributable to the Premises in any proceeding with respect to such taking shall be paid to Landlord.

(b) Tenant and Landlord agree to execute any and all documents and perform any requisite acts in order to facilitate such collection of the award.

Section 6.03 Date of Taking. For purposes of this Article 6, the “date of taking” shall be deemed to be the date on which the whole or substantially all of the Premises, or a part thereof, as the case may be, shall have vested in any lawful power or authority of the government of the United States of America or such other governmental authority having jurisdiction.

Section 6.04 Partial Condemnation. If less than substantially all of the Premises be so taken, all of the terms and provisions of Sections (a) and (b) of Article 5 shall be fully applicable hereto respecting Tenant’s election regarding restoration and payment of the condemnation award.

ARTICLE 7.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGES

Section 7.01 Restrictions on Right of Tenant to Transfer Lease. Tenant may assign or transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises in its entirety or substantially in its entirety, or portions thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, provided, however that in all events Tenant shall provide Landlord a true and correct copy of the documentation evidencing such assignment, sublease or transfer within thirty (30) days of the execution and completion thereof. Tenant may also from time to time enter into a venture with a third party or parties to perform a business operation at the Premises. The foregoing in no way modifies Tenant’s obligation under this Lease Agreement.

Section 7.02 Leasehold Mortgage.

(a) Tenant may encumber by mortgage, mortgages or other proper instruments this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises as security for any indebtedness undertaken by Tenant (each, a “Leasehold Mortgage”). The execution of a Leasehold Mortgage or other similar instrument, or the foreclosure thereof, or any sale thereunder, either by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power reserved in a Leasehold Mortgage, or conveyance by Tenant to the holder of such indebtedness (each, a “Holder of Leasehold Mortgage”), or the exercising of any right, power or privilege reserved in a Leasehold Mortgage, shall not be held as a violation of any of the terms and conditions hereof, or as an assumption by the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee personally of the obligations hereof, except to the extent that the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee voluntarily assumes said obligations in order to avoid termination of this Lease, provided that such Leasehold Mortgage or the actions taken pursuant thereto shall not violate the following provisions of this Paragraph.

(b) If Tenant shall encumber this Lease or its leasehold interest in the Premises and if Tenant or a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall give written notice to Landlord of the existence thereof and the address of such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, then Landlord will mail or deliver to each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, at such address, a duplicate copy of all notices in writing which Landlord may, from time to time, give to or serve on Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, such copies shall be mailed or delivered

to each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, at, or as near as possible to, the same time such notices are given to or served on Tenant. Each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage may, at its option, at any time before the rights of Tenant shall be terminated as provided herein, pay any of the rents due hereunder, or pay any taxes and assessments, or do any act or thing required of Tenant by the terms hereof, or do any act or thing that may be necessary and proper to be done in the observance of the covenants and conditions hereof, or to prevent the termination hereof, all payments so made, and all things so done and performed by such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall be as effective to prevent a termination of the rights of Tenant hereunder as the same would have been if done and performed by Tenant.

(c) Landlord agrees that it will not terminate this Lease because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Tenant, or because the Tenant shall abandon the Premises, or because the Tenant shall suffer this Lease or any estate or interest thereunder to be taken under any writ of execution, or because the Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or because of any other failure on the part of Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants contained in this Lease, if a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage cures any default by Tenant which is curable by the payment of money within thirty (30) days after the date of written notice from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage specifying the nature of the default, or if such default is not curable by the mere payment of money, then if a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall agree in writing to perform (and does perform) within ninety (90) days after the date of the written notice of default from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage specifying the nature of the default all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease capable of performance by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage until such time as this Lease shall be sold upon foreclosure pursuant to the provisions of the Leasehold Mortgage. Provided that a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage pays all amounts then due and payable on the part of the Tenant, including interest and all late penalties, and Landlord’s legal fees incurred as a result of Tenant’s default, Landlord agrees to accept performance by such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage of any term, covenant or condition to be performed by Tenant under this Lease with the same force and effect as though timely performed by Tenant as long as such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage performs within the time periods previously set forth in this Subparagraph. If a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage fails to cure any Tenant default in accord with the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease and proceed with all available remedies to take possession of the Premises and all other rights pertaining thereto, as set forth in the provisions governing default under this Lease. When more than one Holder of Leasehold Mortgage exists, the rights and interests of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage under this Lease shall be determined by the priority of each such Holder of Leasehold Mortgage and as such rights and interests may be restricted or otherwise allocated pursuant to any agreement(s) between such Holders of Leasehold Mortgage or between Tenant and such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding any such agreement(s), Landlord is required to give any notice required hereunder to all Holders of Leasehold Mortgage of which Landlord has been given written notice. Landlord acknowledges that some Tenant defaults may not be capable of cure by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, such as the bankruptcy of the Tenant. Landlord agrees that Tenant defaults which are by their nature impossible to cure by a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed a basis for termination of this Lease so long as all other defaults which are capable of cure are cured in accordance with this Section.

(d) Landlord agrees that this Lease shall not be hereafter modified or amended without the prior written consent of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage to:

(i) Increase the Annual Rent or additional rent (except with regard to increases now provided in the Lease);

(ii) Change the legal description of the Premises from that now set forth in this Lease;

(iii) Shorten the term or any renewal term of this Lease, except as now permitted by this Lease;

(iv) Change the permitted use of the Premises; or

(v) Impose any additional obligations upon Tenant.

Landlord further covenants and agrees not to accept a surrender of the Premises or a cancellation or release of this Lease from Tenant (except pursuant to the exercise of Landlord’s remedies provided herein if an event of default occurs) prior to the expiration or earlier termination thereof without the prior written consent of each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage.

(e) If Landlord exercises Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease as provided in Article 20 hereof, then each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage shall have the right to notify Landlord in writing, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of written notice from Landlord to each Holder of Leasehold Mortgage, that such one or more Holders of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof elects to lease the Premises from the date of such termination of this Lease for the remainder of the scheduled term of this Lease, including the option terms, at the rent and upon the other same terms, covenants and conditions that are herein set forth, with the same relative priority as this Lease and having the benefit of investing in such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof of all of the rights, title, interests, powers and privileges of Tenant hereunder. If such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage elects to obtain such new lease, then such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage shall be obligated, within thirty (30) days after delivery to Landlord of such notice of election, to (i) cure the default upon which such termination was based, or in respect to any default not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day time period or which cannot be cured without entry and possession to proceed and effectuate such cure with due diligence following delivery of possession (excluding, however, Tenant defaults which by their nature are impossible to cure); (ii) pay to Landlord all Annual Rent including interest, all late penalties, and all items of additional rent due and payable under this Lease up to and including the date of commencement of the term of such new lease; and (iii) pay to Landlord all expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any such default and termination and with the preparation, execution and delivery of such new lease. Upon such performance by such one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof, such parties shall have the same relative priority as this Lease and having the benefit of all the rights, titles, interests, powers and privileges of Tenant hereunder, including, specifically, automatic vesting of title to all improvements as well as all equipment, fixtures and machinery therein, until the expiration of the term of this Lease unless this Lease shall thereafter be sooner terminated. Such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or any designee or nominee thereof shall be obligated under such new lease and agree in writing that promptly following the delivery of the new lease, such Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage or its designee will perform or cause to be performed all of the other covenants and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed.

(f) Unless excused by Landlord, if any assignee or transferee of a Holder of Leasehold Mortgage or new lessee deriving rights from the Holder of Leasehold Mortgage fails to cure any of the Tenant’s defaults within one hundred twenty (120) days from the effective date of such assignment, transfer or new lease, this Lease and the lease rights hereunder and under any such new lease shall terminate forthwith at Landlord’s option and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, such option to be exercised by sending written notice to the assignee or transferee that the new lease has been terminated pursuant to this provision.

(g) Landlord agrees to execute and deliver any and all consents and other documents (including reasonable modifications to this Lease) reasonably requested by Tenant and/or one or more Holder(s) of Leasehold Mortgage so long as such documents are reasonably consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.02.

(f) If within one hundred twenty (120) days after the commencement of any proceeding against tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, of any trustee, receiver, custodian, assignee, sequestrator, or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Premises or any interest of Tenant therein, such appointment shall not have been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise, or if, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay, such appointment shall not have been vacated;

(h) Tenant shall fail to observe or perform one or more of the other terms, conditions, covenants or agreements of this Lease and such failure is material and shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant specifying such failure (unless such failure requires work to be performed, acts to be done, or conditions to be removed which cannot by their nature reasonably be performed, done or removed, as the case may be, within such thirty (30) day period, in which case no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist as long as Tenant shall have commenced curing the same within such thirty (30) day period and shall diligently and continuously prosecute the same to completion).

Section 20.02 Tenant Default; Payment of Rent and Termination of Lease. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods,

Landlord may, at its sole option, give to Tenant an additional thirty (30) business days notice of cancellation of this Lease and opportunity to cure the same, in which event this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of such thirty (30) business day period if Tenant thereafter fails to cure the same with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice was the date of the end of the Term of the Lease; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and all unpaid Rent shall be immediately due and Tenant shall immediately pay the full amount of such unpaid Rent to Landlord.

After the service of notice to terminate this Lease, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such notice, all such monies collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of the Premises or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder.

Section 20.05 Strict Performance. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any covenants agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 20.06 Remedies Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease.

All of the sums paid or obligations incurred by Landlord as aforesaid, with interest and costs, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly upon demand.

Section 20.08 Tenant Bankruptcy.

(d) Tenant, to the extent required by applicable law, will use any unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
