Preliminary Statement

The City selected Developer to develop, construct, own and operate a Casino Complex pursuant to a certain Request for Proposals/Qualifications. The City, the EDC and Developer are currently the parties to the Amended Agreement, which sets forth their mutual rights and obligations with respect thereto, and the Conveyance Agreement, which provides for the purchase by Developer from the EDC of the Riverfront Site, upon which the Casino Complex was planned to be constructed.

The parties have agreed that: (i) Developer will develop, construct and operate the Casino Complex on a site located within the Boundaries and will not acquire the Riverfront Site; (ii) the Conveyance Agreement will be terminated; and (iii) the Amended Agreement will be amended and restated to read as set forth herein. This Agreement constitutes a revision to the Amended Agreement and a continuation of the relationship among the parties as established pursuant to the Amended Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that the Amended Agreement is revised to read as set forth in this Agreement. To the extent that the Amended Agreement distinguished between a “Temporary Casino” and a “permanent” Casino Complex, such distinction is eliminated by this Agreement.

(a) From April 9, 1998 until April 9, 2003 (the “Restricted Period”), Developer will not, except as required by applicable law, make any change in its organizational structure which would alone or in the aggregate result in the governing body of Developer having less than twenty-five percent (25%) of its members who are African American.

(b) Developer will not, upon an Event of Default or during the continuance of any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could become an Event of Default, declare or pay any dividends or make any other payments or distributions to any members of Developer or their respective Affiliates, except for Permitted Affiliate Payments.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Developer (i) will prohibit a Transfer by Monroe Partners, L.L.C. directly or indirectly of its ownership interest in Developer and (ii) will cause Monroe Partners, L.L.C. to prohibit a Transfer by a Local Partner of any direct or indirect ownership interest in Monroe Partners, L.L.C., except for a “Permitted Transfer.” For purposes of this Section 3.10, a “Permitted Transfer” means any Transfer by a Local Partner of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Monroe Partners, L.L.C. which meets any of the following: (1) the transferee of the interest is a resident of the State; (2) the transferee of the interest is a Local Partner; (3) the Transfer is being made due to the economic hardship of the Local Partner; (4) the transferee of the interest is a spouse, child or parent (“Family Members”) of a Local Partner; (5) the transferee of the interest is an entity whose beneficial owners consist solely of Local Partners and/or Family Members; (6) if the transferor is an entity, the transferees of the interest are the

beneficial owners of such transferor; (7) the Transfer is by operation of law; (8) the Transfer is on account of a pledge to (x) an institutional lender or (y) any Person who owns a direct or indirect interest in Developer; (9) the transferee of the interest is Developer or any of its Affiliates and the failure to purchase the interest would result in any Person who directly or indirectly owns an interest in Developer becoming ineligible to hold a Certificate of Suitability or Casino License as defined in the Act or otherwise suffering a loss, suspension or inability to obtain a gaming license in any jurisdiction in which Developer, such Affiliate or Person conducts or proposes to conduct gaming operations; or (10) the transferee is Developer or its Affiliate in the circumstance in which the transferor is in default under its organizational agreements and the Transfer is made thereunder. In addition, for purposes of this Section 3.10, a “Permitted Transfer” includes a Transfer or series of related Transfers by Monroe Partners, L.L.C. and/or Local Partners which, when aggregated, equals forty-nine percent (49%) or less of the ownership interest of Monroe Partners, L.L.C. in Developer.

(d) Developer shall not enter into any Financing unless all parties under the Financing having a right to foreclose on all or part of the Casino Complex execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the City in the exercise of its reasonable judgment which is consistent with Section 3.14(b).

3.11 Notification

As soon as practicable after obtaining knowledge or notice thereof, Developer shall deliver to City, together with copies of all relevant documentation with respect thereto:

(a) Notice of any matured event of default any financing related to the Casino Complex.

3.12 Veracity of Statements

Except (i) as otherwise indicated herein; and (ii) for statements of third parties (other than Affiliates) which Developer has reasonable grounds to believe are accurate and for projections which Developer has reasonable grounds to believe are reasonable, no representation or warranty of Developer, or any certification or report furnished by Developer to City and/or EDC pursuant hereto which, if not materially accurate, would have a material adverse effect on the Casino Complex, when read in conjunction with the other representations, warranties and certifications,

contains or will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact, or will omit any material fact that would cause such representation, warranty, statement or certification to be materially misleading, provided that representations, warranties and certifications made as of a specified date shall reflect facts and circumstances known to Developer as of such specified date.

3.13 Use of Casino Complex

So long as casino gaming activities would be permitted by law to operate at the Casino Complex (assuming the existence of a valid Casino License), the primary business to be operated at the Casino Complex shall include casino gaming activities. The obligations of Developer under this Section shall lapse and be of no further force or effect on and after April 9, 2033.

3.14 Financing

(a) Developer agrees to diligently pursue obtaining all necessary Financing by September 30, 2003, so as to have available all funds required to achieve Completion by the Completion Date.

As used in this Agreement, the word “Nominee” shall mean a Person who is designated by Mortgagee to act in place of the Mortgagee solely for the purpose of holding title to the Casino Complex and performing the obligations of Developer hereunder.

(c) Financing Representations; Restrictions. In no event may Developer or any Finance Affiliate represent that City is or in any way may be liable for the obligations of Developer or any Finance Affiliate in connection with (i) any financing agreement or (ii) any public or private offering of securities. If Developer or any Finance Affiliate shall at any time sell or offer to sell any securities issued by Developer or any Finance Affiliate through the medium of any prospectus or otherwise that relates to the Casino Complex or its operation, Developer shall (i) first submit such offering materials to City for review with respect to Developer’s compliance with this Section 3.14(c) and (ii) do so only in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and shall clearly disclose to all purchasers and offerees that (y) the City shall not in any way be deemed to be an issuer or underwriter of such securities, and (z) the City and its officers, directors, agents, and employees have not assumed

and shall not have any liability arising out of or related to the sale or offer of such securities, including any liability or responsibility for any financial statements, projections or other information contained in any prospectus or similar written or oral communication.

(b) Developer shall continue to provide credit enhancement for the Riverfront Bonds and shall make all required payments of principal and interest thereon. Developer hereby releases and forever waives all of its rights, title and interest, if any, in the amounts held in the Riverfront Bond Fund.

The City will cooperate with Developer in continuing to maintain the Riverfront Bonds in good standing.

(c) At the Closing, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(a)(6), Developer will provide the documentation described in Section 1.4(a)(6) with respect to the Railroad Property.

Developer shall have no other liability or obligation, if any, with respect to the Riverfront Site, or the condemnation, acquisition, optioning or ownership of the Riverfront Site by the City and the EDC, or the relocation of businesses located therein, or any other matter related to or arising out of the foregoing. By way of example, and not of limitation, Developer shall have no obligation to the City or EDC to contribute to the purchase of property, the relocation of businesses, the maintenance of the Riverfront Site, the payment of environmental claims or costs, or the payment of inverse condemnation claims or other claims by landowners. The City agrees to indemnify the Developer against any liability in connection with the foregoing. Nothing contained in either this Section 3.15(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission by any party as to the existence of any such liability or obligation on the party of the City or Developer and all of such claims are expressly denied.

(e) The Developer agrees to execute and provide at the Closing the form of release as attached hereto as Exhibit 3.15(e)(1). The City and EDC agree to execute and provide at the Closing the form of release as attached hereto as Exhibit 3.15(e)(2).

For purposes of this Section 6.5, the Damage Period shall commence on the date the City delivers written notice to Developer after such default of its election to receive liquidated damages and shall continue until the date that such default is cured.

Performance Proceeding, (ii) receive Actual Damages from Developer or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

If Developer at any time shall fail to take out, pay any insurance premiums for, maintain or deliver any of the insurance policies in the manner provided for herein, or shall fail to pay any sums, costs, expenses, charges, payments or deposits to be paid by Developer hereunder after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, City, without waiving or releasing Developer from any obligation of Developer contained in this Agreement or waiving or releasing any rights of City hereunder, at law or in equity, may (but shall be under no obligation to) pay any such sums, costs, expenses, charges, payments or deposits payable by Developer hereunder. All sums paid by City and all costs and expenses incurred by City in connection with the performance of any such obligation, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the respective dates of City’s making of each such payment or incurring of each such sum, cost, liability, expense, charge, payment or deposit until the date of actual repayment to City, shall be paid by Developer to City on demand. Any payment or performance by City pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be nor be deemed to be a waiver or release of breach or default of Developer with respect thereto or of the right of City to take such other action as may be permissible hereunder, at law or in equity if an Event of Default by Developer shall have occurred. The City’s rights under this Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

8. Transfers

8.1 Transfer of Development Agreement

Developer shall not, whether by operation of law or otherwise, Transfer this Agreement or the Casino Complex without the prior written consent of the Mayor and City Council; provided, however, that the Mayor and City Council’s right to consent to the Transfer of the Casino Complex shall be of no further force and effect at such time as the business operated at the Casino Complex no longer includes gaming activities.

8.2 Transfer of Ownership Interest

(a) For purposes of this Section 8.2, “Restricted Owner” means (i) Developer and (ii) any Person who directly or indirectly owns or holds any interest in Developer or any Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component other than any Person who would be a Restricted Owner due solely to that Person’s ownership of (x) a direct or indirect interest in a Publicly Traded Corporation or (y) a five percent (5%) or less direct or indirect interest in (1) Developer

unless, in the case of clause (y), upon completion of any Transfer the transferee will in the aggregate own or hold a five percent (5%) or more direct or indirect ownership interest in Developer, or (2) the Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component. The covenants that Developer is to perform under this Agreement for City’s and EDC’s benefit and the services that each Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component renders with respect to the Casino Complex are personal in nature. City and EDC are relying upon Developer and the Casino Component Manager/Operators in the exercise of their skill, judgment, reputation and discretion with respect to the Casino Complex.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall prevent a Transfer of (x) an ownership interest in a Restricted Owner by: any Person (1) to that Person’s spouse, child or parent (“Family Members”); (2) to an entity whose beneficial owners consist solely of such transferor and/or the Family Members of the transferor; (3) to the beneficial owners of the transferor if the transferor is an entity; (4) to any Person who owns any direct or indirect interest in any Restricted Owner; (5) to any Person to whom the City previously has consented to a Transfer; (6) by operation of law; and (7) to an institutional lender on account of a pledge to such lender or (y) an ownership interest in Developer or Restricted Owner or in any Affiliate of Developer or Restricted Owner in connection with a public offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act.

(d) Developer shall notify City as promptly as practicable upon Developer becoming aware of any Transfer.

(e) Developer agrees to (x) include in all Casino Component Management Agreements of a Component a transfer restriction provision substantially similar to the transfer restriction set forth in this Section 8.2 and to cause the Casino Component Manager/Operator of a Component to acknowledge that City is a third-party beneficiary of such provision; and (y) cause each Restricted Owner, other than a Publicly Traded Corporation, to (1) place a legend on its ownership certificate, if any, or include in its organizational documents, a transfer restriction provision substantially similar to the transfer restriction set forth in this Section 8.2 and (2) either enforce such provision or acknowledge that City is a third-party beneficiary of such provision.

Developer shall maintain in full force and effect the types and commercially reasonable amounts of insurance as set forth on Exhibit 9.1 to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates. Self insurance shall be permitted in accordance with First Class Casino Complex Standards.

All policies of insurance provided for in this Agreement shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies, in commercially reasonable form issued by responsible insurers which are authorized to transact business in the State, having a Best rating of not less than A+ or its equivalent from another recognized rating agency. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Developer shall deliver to City and EDC a copy of each policy, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to City and EDC that the full premiums have been paid or provided for at least the first year of the term of such policies. Thereafter, as promptly as practicable prior to the expiration of each such policy, Developer shall deliver to City and EDC an Accord certificate, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to City and EDC that the full premiums have been paid or provided for at least the renewal term of such policies and as promptly as practicable, a copy of each renewal policy.

9.3 Other Policies

Developer shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Agreement unless City and EDC are additional named insureds therein to the extent of their insurable interest, if any, with loss payable as provided in Section 9.2. Developer shall as promptly as practicable notify City and EDC of the taking out of any such separate insurance and shall cause copies of the original policies in respect thereof to be delivered as required in Section 9.2.

9.4 Insurance Notice

Each such policy of insurance to be provided hereunder shall contain, to the extent obtainable on a commercially reasonable basis, (a) a provision that no act or omission of Developer which would otherwise result in forfeiture or reduction of the insurance therein provided shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay City or EDC the amount of any loss sustained to the extent of its insurable interest, if any, and (b) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to City and EDC.

10. Environmental

Developer, as a further inducement to the City to enter into this Agreement, represents and warrants to the City that to the best of Developer’s knowledge, neither Developer nor anyone affiliated with or claiming through or under the Developer has disposed, stored, discharged, treated, or released any hazardous substance or waste, as defined in the Environmental Laws, at, on, in, under, to or from the Railroad Property.

10.4 Survival

The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be merged with any deed.

11. Damage and Destruction

11.1 Damage or Destruction

In the event of damage to or destruction of improvements at the Casino Complex or any part thereof by fire, casualty or otherwise, Developer, at its sole expense and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient therefor, shall promptly repair, restore, replace and rebuild (collectively, “Restore”) the improvements, as nearly as possible to the same condition that existed prior to such damage or destruction using materials of an equal or superior quality to those existing in the improvements prior to such casualty. All work required to be performed in connection with such restoration and repair is hereinafter called the “Restoration.” Developer shall obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy as soon as practicable after the completion of such Restoration. If neither Developer nor any Mortgagee shall commence the Restoration of the improvements or the portion thereof damaged or destroyed promptly following such damage or destruction and adjustment of its insurance proceeds, or, having so commenced such Restoration, shall fail to proceed to complete the same with reasonable diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, City may, but shall have no obligation to, complete such Restoration at Developer’s expense. Upon City’s election to so complete the Restoration, Developer immediately shall permit City to utilize all insurance proceeds which shall have been received by Developer, minus those amounts, if any, which Developer shall have applied to the Restoration, and if such sums are insufficient to complete the Restoration, Developer, on demand, shall pay the deficiency to City. Each Restoration shall be done subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

11.2 Use of Insurance Proceeds

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, all proceeds of casualty insurance on the improvements shall be made available to pay for the cost of Restoration if any part of the improvements are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty. All such insurance proceeds, less the cost of collection, shall be paid into a trust account to be created by an independent third party (“Insurance Trustee”) to be chosen by (i) the First Mortgagee if the

Casino Complex is encumbered by a First Mortgage or (ii) Developer and City in the event there is no First Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of when the proceeds are to be made available. Nothing herein shall prohibit the First Mortgagee from acting as the Insurance Trustee. If Developer or City for whatever reason, cannot or will not participate in the selection of the Insurance Trustee, then the other party shall select the Insurance Trustee. Developer shall name the Insurance Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 11.2 as the sole loss payee on Developer’s casualty insurance. If those parties who participate in the selection process cannot agree on the selection of the Insurance Trustee, either City or Developer may apply to the Circuit Court for the County for the appointment of a local bank having a capital surplus in excess of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) as the Insurance Trustee. The Insurance Trustee shall hold the insurance proceeds in trust to be disbursed in stages to pay for the cost of the Restoration, as hereafter provided. The Insurance Trustee shall deposit the insurance proceeds in an interest bearing account and any after tax interest earned thereon shall be added to the insurance proceeds. All fees and expenses of the Insurance Trustee shall be paid by Developer.

(b) Promptly following any damage or destruction to the improvements by fire, casualty or otherwise, Developer shall:

	(1)		give written notice of such damage or destruction to City and each Mortgagee; and

	(2)		deliver an agreement by Developer to complete the Restoration in a reasonable amount of time plus periods of time as performance by Developer is prevented by Force Majeure events (other than financial inability) after occurrence of the fire or casualty.

(c) After satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this Section, insurance proceeds shall be paid to Developer, or City, as the case may be, from time to time thereafter in installments, but not more frequently than once a month, upon application to be submitted from time to time by Developer to Insurance Trustee showing the cost of work, labor, services, materials, fixtures and equipment incorporated in the Restoration, or incorporated therein since the last previous application, and paid for by Developer or then due and owing. The amount of any installment to be paid to Developer shall be such proportion of the total insurance proceeds as the cost of work, labor, services, materials, fixtures and equipment theretofore incorporated by Developer into the Restoration bears to the total estimated cost of the Restoration by Developer, less all payments heretofore made to Developer out of the insurance proceeds. Upon completion of and payment for the Restoration by Developer, the balance of the insurance proceeds shall be paid over to Developer, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee named as an insured. If the estimated cost of any Restoration exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Insurance Trustee, then prior to the commencement of such Restoration or thereafter if at any time that the cost to complete the Restoration exceeds the unapplied portion of such insurance proceeds, Developer shall from time to time immediately deposit with Insurance Trustee cash funds in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Insurance Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof. If City elects to make the Restoration at Developer’s expense, as provided in Section 11.1, then, as provided above with respect to Developer, Insurance Trustee shall pay over the insurance proceeds to City, from time to time, upon City’s application accompanied by a certificate containing the statements required under clauses (i), (ii)

and (iii) of Section 11.2(d)(1), to the extent not previously paid to Developer pursuant to this Section 11.2(c), and Developer shall pay to Insurance Trustee, on demand, any sums which City certifies to be an estimate of the amount necessary to complete the Restoration, less the undisbursed insurance proceeds.

(d) The following shall be conditions precedent to each payment made to Developer as provided in Section 11.2:

	(1)		There shall be submitted to Insurance Trustee the certificate of the architect stating (i) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn either has been paid by Developer or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other Persons (whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished work, labor, services, materials, fixtures or equipment for the work and giving a brief description of such work, labor, services, materials, fixtures or equipment and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said Persons in respect thereof, and stating in reasonable detail the progress of the Restoration up to the date of said certificate; (ii) that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then pending request, for the withdrawal of insurance money or has been made out of the proceeds of insurance received by Developer; and (iii) that the balance of the insurance proceeds held by Insurance Trustee will be sufficient, upon completion of the Restoration, to pay for the same in full, and stating in reasonable detail an estimate of the cost of such completion.

	(2)		There shall be furnished to Insurance Trustee appropriate sworn statements and lien waivers (which comply with the mechanics’ lien laws of the State) from all Persons receiving payment under such draw.

	(3)		There shall be furnished to Insurance Trustee a title search, or a similar certificate of a title insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Insurance Trustee, showing that there are no liens affecting the Casino Complex or any part thereof in connection with work done, authorized or incurred at or relating to the Casino Complex which had not been discharged of record, except such as will be discharged upon payment of the amount then requested to be withdrawn.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.2 to the contrary, insurance proceeds for any fire or casualty of less than Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) shall not be paid to the Insurance Trustee to be disbursed as provided in Section 11.2, but instead such proceeds shall be paid by the insurer directly into a segregated account established by Developer for the purpose of funding the Restoration. This account is established as an assurance fund to guarantee the completion of the Restoration. Developer retains the right to withdraw funds from this account to pay for the Restoration and to any excess funds in the account following completion of the Restoration. Upon receipt of such proceeds in the account, Developer shall promptly undertake and complete the Restoration in accordance with this Article.

11.3 No Termination

No destruction of or damage to the improvements, or any portion thereof or property therein by fire, flood or other casualty, whether such damage or destruction be partial or total, shall permit Developer to terminate this Agreement or relieve Developer from its obligations hereunder.

11.4 Condemnation

(a) If a Major Condemnation occurs, Developer may at its option construct a new Casino Complex on another Qualified Casino Complex Site or terminate this Agreement. If Developer elects to construct a new Casino Complex it shall proceed diligently to acquire a new Qualified Casino Complex Site and to construct a new Casino Complex which complies with the provisions of this Agreement in all material respects, with such modifications as may be necessary due to site conditions. The provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the design and construction of the Casino Complex shall apply to the new Casino Complex, and the provisions of Section 11.4(b) which are applicable to the application of Proceeds in the event of a Minor Condemnation shall apply to any portion of such Proceeds which are not payable to a First Mortgagee and other lenders. Developer’s obligation to operate the Casino Complex shall be suspended for a reasonable period of time in order to enable Developer to construct a new Casino Complex.

(b) If a Minor Condemnation occurs or the use or occupancy of the Casino Complex or any part thereof is temporarily requisitioned by a civil or military governmental authority, then (a) this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; (b) Developer shall promptly perform all Restoration required in order to repair any physical damage to the Casino Complex caused by the Condemnation, and to restore the Casino Complex, to the extent reasonably practicable, to its condition immediately before the Condemnation. If a Minor Condemnation occurs, any Proceeds in excess of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) will be and are hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the condemnor, assigned to and shall be withdrawn and paid into an escrow account to be created by an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) selected by (i) the First Mortgagee if the Casino Complex is encumbered by a First Mortgage; or (ii) Developer and City in the event there is no First Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of when the Proceeds are to be made available. If Developer or City for whatever reason cannot or will not participate in the selection of the Escrow Agent, then the other party shall select the Escrow Agent. Nothing herein shall prohibit the First Mortgagee from acting as the Escrow Agent. This transfer of the Proceeds, to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the condemnor, shall be self-operative and shall occur automatically upon the availability of the Proceeds from the Condemnation and such Proceeds shall be payable into the escrow account on the naming of the Escrow Agent to be applied as provided in this Section 11.4. If City or Developer are unable to agree on the selection of an Escrow Agent, either City or Developer may apply to the Circuit Court for the County for the appointment of a local bank having a capital surplus in excess of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) as the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Proceeds in an interest-bearing escrow account and any after tax interest earned thereon shall be added to the Proceeds. The Escrow Agent shall disburse funds from the Escrow Account to pay the cost of the Restoration in accordance with

the procedure described in Section 11.2(b), (c) and (d). If the cost of the Restoration exceeds the total amount of the Proceeds, Developer shall be responsible for paying the excess cost. If the Proceeds exceed the cost of the Restoration, the Escrow Agent shall distribute the excess Proceeds, subject to the rights of the Mortgagees. Nothing contained in this Section 11.4 shall impair or abrogate any rights of Developer against the condemning authority in connection with any Condemnation. All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Developer.

12. Indemnification

12.1 Indemnification by Developer

(a) Developer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, EDC and each of their officers, agents and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees” and individually an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, claims, obligations, penalties and causes of action (including reasonable fees and expenses for attorneys, paralegals, expert witnesses and other consultants at the prevailing market rate for such services) whether based upon negligence, strict liability, absolute liability, product liability, misrepresentation, contract, implied or express warranty or any other principal of law, that are imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Indemnitees or which Indemnitees may suffer or be required to pay and which arise out of or relate in any manner to any of the following occurring prior to the Termination Date: (1) Developer’s ownership, possession, use, condition or occupancy of the Casino Complex or any part thereof or any Improvement thereon; (2) Developer’s operation or management of the Casino Complex or any part thereof; (3) the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any material for or at the Casino Complex or any part thereof by or on behalf of Developer or enforcement of any liens with respect thereto; (4) any personal injury, death or property damage suffered or alleged to have been suffered by Developer (including Developer’s employees, agents or servants), the Casino Complex Operator/Managers (including their employees, agents or servants) or any third person as a result of any action or inaction of Developer; (5) any work or things whatsoever done in, or at the Casino Complex or any portion thereof, or off-site pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by or on behalf of Developer; (6) the condition of any building, facilities or improvements at the Casino Complex or any non-public street, curb or sidewalk at the Casino Complex, or any vaults, tunnels, malls, passageways or space therein; (7) any breach or default on the part of Developer for the payment, performance or observance of any of its obligations under all agreements entered into by Developer or any of its Affiliates relating to the performance of services or supplying of materials to the Casino Complex or any part thereof; (8) any act, omission or negligence of any tenant, or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or other tenants; ; and (9) any claim by a third party relating to or arising from any failure of Developer to comply with all Governmental Requirements. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee based upon any claim in respect of which Developer has agreed to indemnify any Indemnitee, Developer will upon notice from Indemnitee defend such action or proceeding on behalf of any Indemnitee at Developer’s sole cost and expense and will keep Indemnitee fully informed of all developments and proceedings in connection therewith and will furnish Indemnitee with copies of all papers served or filed therein, irrespective of by whom served or filed. Developer shall defend such action with counsel it selects provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. Such counsel shall not be deemed reasonably satisfactory

Each Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own cost, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choosing, but Developer and its counsel shall control such defense and shall not be obstructed by the Indemnitee. Developer shall have the sole right to compromise, settle, defend or concede any claim or liability against which it is obligated to indemnify and defend, and the Indemnitees shall enter into such agreements and shall consent to such judgments as Developer may reasonably request, if such agreements and judgments impose only monetary damages upon the Indemnitees and Developer pays such claim, liability or judgment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.l(a) but further subject to Section 12.1(c) below, Developer shall not indemnify and shall have no responsibility to Indemnitees for: (i) any matter involving the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees; (ii) any matter giving rise to any liability of any of the Indemnitees prior to the April 9, 1998, except for such liabilities arising from acts or omissions undertaken by or at the request or insistence of Developer; (iii) any liability arising with respect to portions of the Casino Complex owned or under the control of the City, the EDC, or any instrumentality or subdivision thereof prior to April 9, 1998 which arises from any acts or omissions of any Indemnitee occurring prior to the April 9, 1998; (iv) liability, if any, arising from the City’s acquisition of or negotiations for the acquisition of the Riverfront Site, including causes of actions relating to condemnation or inverse condemnation by or against the City and all other matters described in Section 3.15(d); (v) any failure by the City or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof to exercise its police and similar public safety powers with respect to the Casino Complex, but only to the extent Developer is not required to undertake or perform such services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; or (vi) any breach by City or EDC of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; or (vii) any liability arising with respect to any off-site infrastructure improvements owned or under the control of the City which arise from acts or omissions of the City; or (viii) any liability arising as a consequence of the City’s ownership of all or any part of the Casino Complex prior to Developer’s acquisition of same.

(c) The foregoing exclusions from Developer’s obligation to indemnify Indemnitees set forth in Section 12.1(b) above shall in no event apply to Developer’s environmental indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1.

13. Force Majeure

13.1 Definition of Force Majeure

Section D. Projected financial Statements

The Developer’s specific projections, balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements are highly confidential and proprietary. Because of the uncertainties inherent in projecting the results of future developments which have not been constructed and which have no history of operations, the Developer’s policy is not to publicly release its projections.

The Developer will channel recruitment efforts through Detroit’s established social, business, professional and religious organizations.

Developer is committed to hire construction contractors who agree to include in their construction contracts an express term that the rates, wages and fringe benefits to be paid to each class of construction mechanics and each of their subcontractors shall not be less than the rates, wages and fringe benefits prevailing in City as established by the most recent survey of the Michigan Department of Labor for prevailing wage determination under Act 166, P.A. 1965, MCLA 408.551 et seq., MSA 17.256(a), et seq.

Section Q. Advancement of Detroit Residents by Contractors

The Developer will work with contractors who will commit to the goal of maximizing, to the greatest extent possible, the number of qualified Detroit resident apprentices who advance to journeymen status. The Developer will encourage subcontractors to maximize their staffs of Detroit resident apprentices and journeymen. The Developer will monitor certain payrolls to make sure subcontractors fulfill their commitments.

Section R. Equal Employment Opportunity Plans by Contractors

The Developer is committed to hire contractors who agree to implement an Equal Opportunity Employment Plan conforming to all applicable laws and consistent with City’s Executive Order 22. The City’s Equal Opportunity Employment Requirement will be placed in every bid package and will be reviewed with every prospective subcontractor to confirm a complete understanding of this requirement.

Section S. Dealings with Detroit-Based Businesses

The Developer is committed to maximizing use of, and support for, Detroit-based, Detroit-resident, Minority-owned, Women-owned businesses and Small Business Concerns in the purchase of goods and services. The Developer will work with the African-American Association of Businesses and Contractors for outreach, the Michigan Minority Business Development Council for certification, and the offices of the Detroit Human Rights Director.

To be targeted as such businesses, all bidders will be asked to produce evidence of their certification with the appropriate agencies of the City of Detroit. Any providers who demonstrate the ability to qualify in any of the categories established by the City, but who have not yet gained certification, will receive formal referrals to the necessary offices and agencies where applications can be made and where technical support is available.

The Developer will use reasonable best efforts to achieve a goal to direct at least 30% of aggregate amounts expended by the Developer to be from Detroit-based, Detroit-resident, Minority-owned, or Women-owned businesses and Small Business Concerns. The Developer will endeavor to achieve a higher percentage. Under the Developer’s Competitive Preference Policy, for each significant contract, the Developer’s purchasing and management officers must perform the following steps:

Targeted notification: The Developer will obtain lists of qualified vendors from groups such as the Michigan Minority Business Development Council, the African-American Association of Business Contractors and the City of Detroit Contract Compliance and Human Relations Departments. The Developer will direct RFQ’s to such vendors. The Developer is formally committed to supporting the Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx Business Association in its development of an on-line information system to continually inform interested users of contract and vending opportunities from Greektown Casino. The Developer will require sufficient bids from targeted businesses in the City of Detroit and from non-targeted businesses outside the City. This will enable the Developer’s purchasing, officers to identify qualified providers and fair market value.

Using the bids as a value benchmark, the Developer will then negotiate with targeted businesses toward procurement at a rate that approaches, as closely as possible, the lowest bid. Whenever possible under sound business practices, the Developer will then enter into agreements with the targeted providers.

The Developer will work to meet the 51-percent-plus purchasing goal. The Developer will work with the City of Detroit, its monitoring agencies, and the Developer’s providers to maximize vendor and supplier opportunities for Detroit, women-owned and minority businesses.

The Developer will charge an internal compliance officer with responsibility for monitoring the Developer’s efforts to reach the hiring, promotion and purchasing goals. This officer will be responsible for continually modifying

A-17

policies and procedures to ensure that the Developer achieves the goals. The Developer will furnish the City annually with a written report of the status of its compliance with the commitments set forth in this Section.

Section T. Transportation and Circulation Routes

Detroit City Airport

Developer’s plans for Detroit City Airport include:

Marketing the airport to private pilots, corporations, travel agents, and corporate/trade association meeting planners.

Using City Airport for mid-week charters.

Establishing a relationship with carriers who provide service to City Airport.

Establishing relationships with other major air carriers that may choose to use City

Airport in the future.

Detroit Metropolitan Airport
Developer’s plans for Metro Airport include:

Establishing relationships with Northwest Airlines, which controls 75 percent of Metro’s air traffic, and all other major carriers that service Metro.
Promoting Metro Airport and its airlines in marketing materials to our tertiary, distant national, and international markets.

Trip Generation Analysis

The Developer commissioned a trip generation analysis for the Greektown site for casino customers and employees to project daily and peak hour trips during a typical Friday afternoon rush. Based on this analysis and the Developer’s experience with the existing Casino, it appears that:

Customers: The casino is expected to attract about 17,000 patrons a day. These visitors are expected to generate roughly 20.000 daily vehicle trips to the casino, either in their own cars or in taxi cabs. In addition., it is estimated that 22 daily tour buses would generate another 88 trips to and from the Casino and bus staging areas.

Employees: Employees are expected to generate another 2,000 daily trips to and from the Casino.

The analysis was based on “Friday P.M. peak hour trip generation” because:

This is the specific time period when traffic volumes will be at peak levels on streets and intersections, This is the specific time period when customers driving to the casino and downtown commuters driving home from their jobs will coincide and peak, and

Friday evenings will be the casino’s busiest times.

It is estimated that during the P.M. peak hour, 1,875 vehicle trips will be generated by patrons traveling to and from the casino. (Most trips generated by casino employees and tour buses will occur outside the P.M. peak hour.)

Based on recent traffic counts on a typical Friday evening, and capacity analysis calculations at key intersections in the casino area, all intersections were determined to operate at a “B level of service” (on a grading scale of A to F with A being the best condition and F representing congested conditions.)

With the addition of peak hour traffic generated by the casino, the street system can accommodate increased demand if relatively minor improvements are made, such as:

Restrict on-street parking,

Modify pavement markings to create additional travel lanes,

Improve curb radii, and

Adjust traffic signal timings.

Existing arterial streets will be redesigned as needed.

Traffic control: Changes to be implemented as needed to provide for smooth access, with need to be documented through professional analysis.

Pedestrian grade street crossings: Landscape architects will design street pavements and pedestrian crossings at all key intersections and major pedestrian flow areas throughout the Project.

Offsite signage: The Casino Complex area is served by many means of access, via both surface roads and freeways. However, extensive signage will be required to make visitors aware of these routes.

Vehicle turnout facilities: Turnouts are readily available. Under no circumstances are traffic lanes to be used for this purpose.

Street lighting will be abundant but not glaring. Lighted areas will extend well beyond the project proper.

Section U. Transportation Supply and Demand Management

DOT and SMART

The public bus systems can meet demand by increasing service on existing routes operating at capacity.

Detroit People Mover (“DPM”)

A-18

The expected increase in DPM ridership generated by the Casino Complex can be accommodated under the present operating arrangement, which includes adding a second car to each DPM train in the circuit if demand warrants it.

Public Transportation Information

A transportation demand management program will be implemented for Casino patrons and employees. Through public information and outreach—coordinated with the City—Casino patrons will learn of convenient public transportation alternatives to driving to the casino and be encouraged to use them. Car-pooling will also be encouraged. Public information will be through newsletters to local merchants mid employees, desktop hotel cards, paycheck and ticket stuffers, and local media.

Casino employees will be encouraged to use public transportation. Information about SEMCOG’s ride-sharing program will be provided to employees who must drive, to match workers from similar locales for potential carpools. Incentives, such as preferential parking locations, could be initiated to increase participation. Work shift changes will be established to minimize, as best as possible, travel during morning and afternoon peak periods. Service and delivery operations will also be restricted to off-peak times.
